Saving A Copy Of The 4600-Series Telephone Configuration File, If Any; Checking Software Release, Only If Starting From R2.X - Avaya S8 Series Manual

Upgrading Communication Manager on Avaya S8500-Series Server MAIN/ESS/LSP from R2.x/R3.x/R4.x/
Saving a copy of the 4600-series telephone configuration file, if
any
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.
The 46xx firmware is contained within a 46xx .tar file, in a name format similar to the filename
46xxH323_cm2_2_wi1_15_ipt2_2_111405.tar. You must retrieve the firmware file from the
Avaya Downloads Web site and download the 46xx firmware file to the server 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.
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:
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.
6. 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
