Preparing the VAL circuit pack for the FTP session
To prepare the VAL circuit pack for the FTP session, including setting the username and
password:
1. At the SAT, type enable filesystem board board-location login
ftp-username [3-6 characters] ftp-password [7-11 characters] and
press Enter.
For example, the command:
enable filesystem board 01A11 login romeo shakespeare
enables an FTP session into the VAL circuit pack in Cabinet 1, carrier A, slot 11. The
ftp-username (3-6 characters) for this session is romeo, and the ftp-password (7-11
characters) is shakespeare.
When the FTP session on the circuit pack is enabled, the announcement and firmware files
are available to anyone who knows the VAL circuit pack's IP address, the ftp-username, and
the ftp-password.

SECURITY ALERT:
Avaya recommends using a unique ftp-login and ftp-password for each FTP
SECURITY ALERT:
session.
Starting an FTP session
If you are unfamiliar with FTP client application software, contact your network administrator for
information about access to an FTP session.
The following points apply to FTP sessions into the VAL circuit pack:
In FTP sessions, filenames are case-sensitive and require the .wav" file extension.
●
Only one FTP session can be active at a time. If an FTP session is already active for a
●
particular VAL circuit pack, the system denies a second attempt to establish an FTP
session from some other remote host.
The VAL circuit pack has two user-accessible directories:
●
- /annc for playable announcements
- / (root) for temporary storage of embedded software updates. Use this directory only for
software updates.
FTP sessions time out after 10 minutes of inactivity.
