Chapter 38 Firmware and Configuration File Maintenance
This is a sample from a FTP session to transfer the MSC's current configuration file (including
the configuration files of all the line cards) to the computer file
If your FTP or SFTP client does not allow you to have a destination filename different than the
source, you will need to rename them as the MSC only recognizes "config-0" and "ras". Be
sure you keep unaltered copies of the files for later use.
The following table is a summary. Please note that the internal filename refers to the filename
on the MSC and the external filename refers to the filename not on the MSC, that is, on your
computer, local network or FTP site and so the name (but not the extension) may vary. After
uploading new firmware, use the
the correct firmware version.

38.3 Editable Configuration File
The configuration file can be downloaded as a plain-text (English keyboard characters) file.
Edits to the configuration can be made to this file before it is uploaded again to the IES.
You can change the ".dat" file to a ".txt" file and still upload it to the IES as long
as you rename it to "config-0" when you upload it to the IES.
38.3.1 Editable Configuration File Backup
Configure your system, and then use FTP or SFTP to backup the plain-text configuration file
onto your computer. Do the following to backup the configuration file:
