Preparing a USB2 Memory Device using Linux
The USB Initiator application includes the files necessary to also manually prepare a USB2 memory device on a Linux PC.
Within the zip file for the application download, copy the contents of the /Manual folder. This contains the files ks.cfg and
syslinux.cfg.
The following assumes that the USB2 memory device mounts as /dev/sdb with the partition /dev/sdb1. Those values may
vary depending on the PC configuration.
1. Make sure that the pen is not mounted by entering #umount /dev/sdb1
2. Enter the following to make the partition bootable:
#fdisk /dev/sdb
a # toggle bootable flag
1 # partition number
w # write to disk
3. Enter the following to install syslinux:
#syslinux -s /dev/sdb1
#dd if=/usr/share/syslinux/mbr.bin of=/dev/sdb
4. Mount the USB2 memory device by entering the following:
#mkdir /tmp/cdimage
#mkdir /tmp/stick
#mount -ro loop apc-8.iso /tmp/cdimage
#mount /dev/sdb1 /tmp/stick
5. Copy the new .iso image and other related files to the USB2 memory device by entering the following:
#cd /tmp/stick
#mkdir ApcIso
#cd -
#cp apc-8.iso /tmp/stick/ApcIso
#cd -
#cp -rv /tmp/cdimage/isolinux syslinux
#cp -rv /tmp/cdimage/images ApcIso/
#rm -f syslinux/isolinux.bin
#rm -f syslinux/isolinux.cfg
#cp [provided syslinux.cfg] syslinux/
#cp [provided ks.cfg] .
#cd
#umount /tmp/cdimage
#umount /tmp/stick
6. Wait until all file operations have completed. This may take several minutes.
Backing Up the Existing Application Data
If the module is already being used for customer operations, you need to backup the Voicemail Pro and one-X Portal for IP
Office settings. Do this using the processes outlined in
Transferring Voicemail Server Settings
and Transferring one-X
Portal for IP Office Settings.
