Updating the Software Upgrade Key
V7122 gateways are supplied with a Software Upgrade Key already pre-configured for each
of its TrunkPack Modules (TPM).
Users can later upgrade their V7122 features, capabilities and quantity of available
resources by specifying what upgrades they require, and purchasing a new key to match
their specification.
The Software Upgrade Key is sent as a string in a text file, to be loaded into the V7122.
Stored in the device’s non-volatile flash memory, the string defines the features and
capabilities allowed by the specific key purchased by the user. The device allows users to
utilize
only these features and capabilities. A new key overwrites a previously installed key.
For detailed information on the Software Upgrade Key, see Software Upgrade Key .
Save Configuration
The Save Configuration screen enables users to save the current parameter configuration
and the loaded auxiliary files to the
non-volatile memory so they are available after a power
fail. Parameters that are only saved to the volatile memory revert to their previous settings
after hardware reset.
When performing a software reset (i.e., via Web or SNMP) you can choose to save
the changes to the non-volatile memory. Therefore, there is no need to use the
Save Configuration screen.
Saving changes to the non-volatile memory may disrupt traffic on the gateway. To
avoid this, disable all traffic before saving.
To save the changes to the non-volatile :
