8.8 Copy System Images from a Network Server to Flash
Memory
As mentioned above the system image file contains the application software that runs SmartWare; it
is loaded in the flash memory at the Inalp Networks factory. Since most of the voice and data
features of the SmartNode are defined and implemented within the application software, upgrading
to a new release might be necessary if you want to have additional voice and data features available.
A new system image file has to be stored permanently into the flash memory of your SmartNode to
be present when booting the device.
Since the system image file is preloaded at the Inalp Networks factory, you will only have to
download new SmartWare application software if a major software upgrade is necessary or if
recommended by Inalp Networks. Under normal circumstances downloading a system image file
should not be needed.
Downloading a new system image file means storing it permanently at a defined location within the
SmartNode flash memory. To store the system image file a special download script file has to be
used. This script file defines how the system image file is to be handled and where it is to be stored.
You cannot download any system image file without an appropriate script file.
Each line in script file is a command for the CLI of your SmartNode. To download a system image
file, which will replace the currently running SmartWare application software, a script file with only
one command is necessary.
Comment lines must have a hash character # in column one and can appear anywhere in the script
file. Comment lines contain information for administrators or operators who maintain or use the
script file.
The following example shows a script file used to download a system image and command line
syntax definition file from a TFTP server.
# script file for system image download

#the next line deletes the whole embedded file system

Note:
The script file includes a 32-bit CRC on the last line, displayed as four characters when seen in
an ordinary text editor.
Do
not
delete
the line containing the CRC entry or the download will fail!
