Telebit, or other as the modem peer during configuration), the script file from your current
configuration must be copied to the 4.2 release boot diskette so that it may continue to be used.
Complete the steps below to upgrade a currently operational Router from your previous release to the
4.2 release.
The filenames for the standard dialer scripts included with the Router are netbl.dcf, portm.dcf and
other.dcf. If your Router has been using custom dialer scripts, contact your network administrator to find
out what the filenames are. Or, you can issue the config show command and look for entries like dialup
iface script file, for example:
dialup modem0 script netbl.dcf
Note the dialer script filenames and record them.
1. Perform this step, depending on whether you have access to the boot diskette and a DOS-based PC,
or are using ftp over a TCP/IP network to transfer the script to another host (for editing).
If you have the boot diskette and prefer to use a DOS host...
Use a separate DOS machine and the DOS copy command to transfer the dialer script files from the old
(3.x) boot diskette to the new (4.2) boot diskette.
Insert the old (3.x) diskette into the DOS machine and issue the following commands:
mkdir \nh
copy a:netbl.dcf \nh
Insert the new (4.2) diskette into the DOS machine and issue the following command:
copy \nh\netbl.dcf a:
Answer yes to overwrite a query.
If you do not have the boot diskette and prefer to use a host over a TCP/IP network...
Copy the dialer script file to a host computer; to do this, ftp (IP required) from a host computer and log
in to the Router as root.
Copy the dialer script file from the boot diskette to a directory on the hard drive of the system upon
which you are running ftp.
As an example, on a Sun UNIX system, issue the following commands:
mkdir /tmp/nh
ftp nh_ipaddr
(Use the Router’s IP address)
Use the get option of ftp as follows:
ftp> bin
ftp> get \netbl.dcf /tmp/nh
ftp> quit
The netbl.dcf file is stored on the Sun machine until step 6.
Close the ftp session.
2. Login to the Router and enter:
