Using Command Line Switches - 3Com VCX v7111 User Manual

•
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, that is, 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 (for example, 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.
