About Upgrading the VCS Software
It is possible to install new releases of the VCS software on your existing hardware. Software

Upgrading Using SCP/PSCP
To upgrade using SCP or PSCP (part of the PuTTY free Telnet/SSH package) you will need to
transfer two files to the VCS:
a text file containing just the 16-character Release Key
the file containing the software image.
To upgrade using SCP or PSCP:
Ensure the VCS is turned on and available on IP.
Upload the release key file using SCP/PSCP to the
/tmp
folder on the system e.g.
scp release-key [email protected]:/tmp/release-key
or
pscp release-key [email protected]:/tmp/release-key
Enter password when prompted.
Copy the software image using SCP/PSCP. The target name must be
/tmp/tandberg-image.tar.gz
, e.g.
scp s42100x11.tar.gz [email protected]:/tmp/tandberg-image.tar.gz
or
pscp s42100x11.tar.gz [email protected]:/tmp/tandbergimage.tar.gz
Enter password when prompted.
Wait until the software has installed completely. This should not take more than two minutes.
Reboot the system.
After about four minutes the system will be ready to use.

Upgrading Software
Backing up the Existing Configuration Before Upgrading
The existing configuration will be restored after performing an upgrade. However, we recommend
that you make a backup of the existing configuration before performing the upgrade.
To do this:
Use the command line interface to log on to the VCS.
Issue the command
xConfiguration
.
Save the resulting output to a file, using cut-and-paste or some other means provided by your
terminal emulator.
To restore your configuration:
Remove the
*c
from in front of each command.
Paste this information back in to the command line interface.
