When you are downloading code to an endpoint, configure your TFTP server with
the following timeout values:
H Retransmission timeout – Value not less than 10 seconds.
H Total transmission – Value not less than three times the retransmission
timeout.
You may also use the above values for a standard TFTP transfer.

you can not, do not proceed with the download. Also, make certain that the
files that you are going to download from exist in the system.
