Valid for V08_08.02 or V08_48.02
WARNING: The standard Vocality tools include protection to prevent the wrong
software being loaded on a device. The manual TFTP methods described provide
no such protection. It is up to the user to take all necessary precautions to ensure
that only the correct software is loaded on to a Vocality device. Any device which
has had incorrect software loaded will become unusable and will have to be

5.8.4.1 Linux server setup

You will need to install a standard TFTP server, such as TFTPD, on the Linux server.
Note: Until V05_02.02 the Vocality TFTP client generated request packets with
extra padding. Servers which support RFC2347 option extensions, may interpret
these extra bytes as TFTP options, which will cause the transfer to fail. Using a
standard "dumb" TFTP server avoids this problem.
Copy the files to be transferred into the TFTP servers root directory, usually /tftpboot or
~/tftpboot
Change the permissions so that the files are readable by the user of TFTPD, usually
defaulted to 'NOBODY' on Ubuntu systems.
If necessary, start TFTPD, or arrange for it to be started via INETD or XINETD.

5.8.4.2 V150 and V200

These products normally use the TFTP protocol to upgrade software. Once the server is
configured you can follow the usual procedures to copy the new software on to the
unit.

Configuring SNMP

This section discusses how you can configure SNMP Traps and SNMP MIB II Gets.
5.9.1

SNMP Configuration

If you are enabling SNMP support for the first time, you will need a unique Feature Key
(available from your local Vocality support representative), unless you are using a High
Speed CPU card. Your unit serial number will be required to obtain the Feature Key.
In the Diagnostics > Slot n > Feature Keys menu, copy and paste the Feature Key
code for the unit under 'Key' on the SIMPLE NETWORK MANAGEMENT PROTOCOL
(SNMP) row, and press <Return>. The 'State' on the SNMP row will then read
UNLOCKED.
You will now find SNMP listed on the Main menu. Choosing SNMP takes you to the
‡SNMP menu.
Refer to the Menus appendix for details of all the parameters that can be set.
The ‡SNMP > SNMP General menu allows you to choose which SNMP version you
wish to support — SNMPv2c, SNMPv3 or both.
