310 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, and
will not be overwritten during the upgrade. You will copy this file back to the /tftpboot
directory after the upgrade.
