A. Most probably the ATA 186 TftpURL parameter is not set with the correct URL or IP address of the TFTP server hosting the ATA 186 profile. The following statements apply for cases where the ATA 186 receives the TFTP server address (IP address or URL) via a DHCP server: • Ensure that the ATA 186 parameter TftpURL is set to 0 • If the DHCP server provides an URL to locate the TFTP server, ensure the ATA 186 parameters DNS1IP and DNS2IP are properly set (The ATA needs a DNS server to resolve the URL). • If the DHCP server provides an IP address to locate the TFTP server, the ATA 186 does not need to consult with a DNS server.
