Using Command Line Switches - 3Com VCX V7122 User Manual

TFTP Server IP: This field contains the IP address of the TFTP utility that is used for file
transfer of software and initialization files to the gateway. When creating a new client,
this field is populated with the IP address used by the BootP Tool. If a different TFTP
utility is to be used, change the IP address in this field to the IP address used by the
other utility.
Boot File: This field specifies the file name for the software (cmp) file that is loaded by
the TFTP utility to the VoIP gateway after the VoIP gateway receives the BootReply
message. The actual software file is located in the TFTP utility directory that is specified
in the BootP Preferences window. The software file can be followed by command line
switches. For information on available command line switches see
Switches on page 202.
Once the software file loads into the gateway, the gateway begins functioning from
that software. In order to save this software to non-volatile memory, (only the cmp
file, i.e., the compressed firmware file, can be burned to your device's flash
memory), the -fb flag must be added to the end of the file name. If the file is not
saved, the gateway reverts to the old version of software after the next reset.
The Boot file field can contain up to two file names: cmp file name to be used for
load of application image and ini file name to be used for gateway provisioning.
Either one, two or no file names can appear in the Boot file field. To use both file
names use the ";" separator (without blank spaces) between the xxx.cmp and the
yyy.ini files (e.g., ram.cmp;SIPgw.ini).
ini File: This field specifies the configuration ini file that the gateway uses to program its
various settings. Enter the name of the file that is loaded by the TFTP utility to the VoIP
gateway after it receives the BootReply message. The actual ini file is located in the
TFTP utility directory that is specified in the BootP Preferences window.
Call Agent: This field specifies the IP address of the MGCP Call Agent that is controlling
the gateway. This field can be ignored for all other control/signaling protocols.

Using Command Line Switches

You can add command line switches in the field Boot File.
To use a Command Line Switch, follow these steps:
1 In the field Boot File, leave the file name defined in the field as it is (e.g., ramxxx.cmp).
2
Place your cursor after cmp
3 Press the space bar
4
Type in the switch you require.
Examples: "ramxxx.cmp -fb" to burn flash memory.
"ramxxx.cmp -fb -em 4" to burn flash memory and for Ethernet Mode 4 (auto-negotiate).
