User's Manual
7. Click 'OK' to confirm. The upgrade process will begin and should take no longer than
one minute to complete.
At the conclusion of the upgrade process, the MP-202 automatically reboots and the
new software version runs.
If a new version is not available, click the 'Check Now' button to perform an immediate
check (instead of waiting for the next scheduled one). The screen displays a green
"Check in progress..." message.
Notes:
• The configuration file can have one of the following two formats – a
hierarchical conf file (indicated by file extension .conf) or a flat ini file
(indicated by file extension .ini).
• The parameter ‘/rmt_config/version’ defines the version of the
configuration file. The gateway uses the new configuration file only if the
version that is defined in this file is later than the current version. By
default, the ‘version’ is set to 0. This means that each time Service
Providers’ operations personnel require the gateway to download a new
configuration file, they need to increment the ‘version’ parameter in the
new file (in the .conf file, the ‘version’ parameter is under the section
‘rmt_config’). To simplify the procedure, it is possible to use the current
date in YYYYMMDD format as the version field.
• The remote configuration file must include only a subset of the complete
MP202.conf file. A recommended procedure is to start with a gateway
restored to its factory settings, modify using the embedded Web server the
parameters that should appear in the remote configuration file, and then
upload (save) the configuration file. You must save only the modified
parameters, as described in ''Remote Administration'' on page 163.
• The string <MAC> enables the ISP to pre-configure all its deployed
gateways with the same URL and file details (under rmt_config/url) and
still have each gateway download its unique configuration file. Once the
URL is configured with the string <MAC>, the gateway that is trying to
update its configuration file automatically replaces <MAC> with its own
unique MAC address. For example, if there’s a gateway with a WAN MAC
address 00:01:02:03:04:05, the ISP can configure the url to
http://myserver.com/my_conf_file_<MAC>.conf - and place a file called
‘my_conf_file_00_01_02_03_04_05.conf’ on the server.
• Downloading a configuration file from a remote server can also be
performed from the CLI:
1) Using Telnet, access the gateway, and then enter the user name and
password.
2) Enter the command rmt_config, for example:
rmt_config –u http://myserver.com/my_conf_file.conf
3) Enter rmt_config without any arguments for more help information.
