Preupgrade tasks
Issue 2.1 June 2006 103
Saving a copy of the 4600-series telephone configuration file, if
any (main server only)
During an upgrade, any data in the /tftpboot directory is overwritten with new software and
firmware. If the system uses the http or tftp server capability, the 4600-series IP Telephone
firmware and configuration file in the /tftpboot directory 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 the file 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 command line interface of the server with 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.
A named 46xxsettings.txt file appears in the list, or the prompt reappears 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 IP Telephone settings file is now in a protected directory, /var/home/ftp/
pub, and cannot be overwritten during the upgrade. Copy this file back to the /tftpboot
directory after the upgrade.
Checking software release, only if starting from R2.x
Check the version of Communication Manager to ensure that you install the correct preupgrade
service pack. For more information, see Upgrading LSPs, ESSs, and H.248 media gateways, if
any on page 91.
Under Server, click Software Version to see what software release is on the media server.
