Updating The Software Upgrade Key; Save Configuration - 3Com VCX V7122 User Manual

Updating the Software Upgrade Key

The VCX V7122 devices are supplied to customers with Software Upgrade Keys already pre-
configured in the devices.
Customers can later upgrade their device's features and capabilities by specifying what
upgrades they require, and purchasing a new Software Upgrade Key from 3Com to match
their specification.
The Software Upgrade Key is sent to customers as a string in an ini file, to be loaded into the
device. Stored in the device's non-volatile flash memory, the string defines the features and
capabilities allowed by the specific key purchased by the customer. The device allows
customers to utilize only these features and capabilities. A new key overwrites a previously
installed key.
For detailed information on the Software Upgrade Key, see
Key on page 229.

Save Configuration

The Save Configuration screen enables users to save the current parameter configuration
and the loaded auxiliary files to the non-volatile memory so they are available after a power
fail. Parameters that are only saved to the volatile memory revert to their previous settings
after hardware reset.
Note that when performing a software reset (i.e., via Web or SNMP) you can choose to save
the changes to the non-volatile memory. Therefore, there is no need to use the Save
Configuration screen.
Saving changes to the non-volatile memory may disrupt traffic on the gateway. To
avoid this, disable all traffic before saving.
To save the changes to the non-volatile, follow these steps:
1 Click the Save Configuration button on the main menu bar; the 'Save Configuration'
screen is displayed.
