Why is the auto backup time incorrect after the server is rebooted It may be caused by e Some client modifies your setting on the auto backup parameters e An exception occurs on the server and it restores the previous auto backup time after its reboot V When you select to import the software from the file system for software upgrade the Quidview client prompts that no TFTP client is installed How to solve this problem Some Quidview modules require the TFTP client program with the OS If no such program is found some modules cannot function normally Typically the OS has its TFTP client program For example in Windows XP the TFTP client program is under the directory windows system32 tftp exe To solve the problem you can copy the TFTP client program from another OS to the same directory For example in Windows XP copy the TFTP client program to the directory windowsisystem32 VI Why does abnormity occur when the server acquires the current running configuration of some device through Telnet This is possibly because that the information center funciion or debugging is enabled on the device You can telnet to the device disable the information center function or debugging and then acquire its current running configuration VII Why is Failure connecting to a device timed out displayed as the upgrade result of some software This is probably because the device fails to receive the SNMP response packet within the
