7.3

Embedding firmware in ConfigPack.

Please not the additional information and security notes in the operating instructions of your

device.

With the the ConfigPack with embedded firmware file you can install a device configuration

including the firmware belonging to it on one or more devices.

Creating ConfigPack with embedded firmware

To embed the firmware in a ConfigPack, you need to make a setting in the Command Line

Interface (CLI). To do this, follow the steps outlined below:

Note

Using configurations with DHCP

If you want to use the ConfigPack with embedded firmware to commission multiple devices

with the same configuration and firmware create a ConfigPack only from device

configurations that use DHCP. Otherwise, disruptions will occ

ur in network operation due to

multiple identical IP addresses.

You assign fixed IP addresses extra following the basic installation.

1. Start the remote configuration using Telnet (CLI) and log on with a user with the "admin"

role.

2. Change to the global configuration mode with the command "configure terminal".

3. You change to the loadsave configuration mode with the "loadsave" command.

4. Enter the "firmware-in-configpack" command without parameters.

The firmware currently on this device is now included as a separate file in the ConfigPack

when you save it.

Note

Embedding firmware in ConfigPack.

When the device is restarted this functionality is lost again and must be reactivated.

If you save a ConfigPack in the WBM or CLI, the firmware is embedded.

Refer to the information in the section Load & Save (Page 196).

Installing ConfigPack with embedded firmware

Note

Installing ConfigPack with DHCP options 66, 67

You can also install the ConfigPack using DHCP with options 66 and 67 activated.

You activate the options in the menu "System > DHCP > DHCP Client".

If you install a ConfigPack using WBM or CLI, firmware stored there is also installed.
