704 Installing and Upgrading the Avaya G700 Media Gateway and Avaya S8300 Media Server
Saving a copy of the 4600-series phone configuration file, if any
During an upgrade, any data in the /tftpboot directory is overwritten with new software and
firmware. If the system was using the http or tftp capability for 4600-series phone firmware
downloads and configuration updates, the firmware and 4600-series phone configuration file
are overwritten.
You must redownload the 46xx firmware file after the upgrade. However, you can save a copy of
the 46xx configuration file
before the upgrade and copy it back into the /tftpboot directory after
the upgrade.
To copy the 4600-series configuration file to a safe location, perform the following steps:
1. Access the server’s command line interface using telnet and an IP address of
192.11.13.6
.
2. Log in as
craft
.
3. At the Linux command line, type
cd /tftpboot
, and press Enter .
4. At the prompt, type
ls 46*
, and press Enter .
If a named 46xxsettings.txt may appear in the list, or the prompt may reappear with no
files listed. If the file name does not appear, there is no file to copy. You are finished with this
procedure.
5. If the file name 46xxsettings.txt appears, at the Linux command line, type
cp
46xxsettings.txt ~ftp/pub
.
The 4600-series phone settings file is now in a protected directory, /var/home/ftp/pub. The
customer must use FTP to copy the file to a laptop or FTP server.
Getting IA770 (AUDIX) Data and Stopping IA770
(if IA770 is being used)
Skip to Backing up S8300 recovery system files on page 708 if IA770 is not being used.
If IA770 is being used, you need to collect optional language data (if this had not been done
before arriving at the site), leave a test message, and shut down IA770 before backing up the
files.
