Upgrade DECT Messenger from 2.8 to 4.0 257
To continue the upgrade of DECT Messenger, follow the steps
in the procedure “Upgrade DECT Messenger from 2.8 to 4.0”
(page 254).
--End--
Follow the steps in the next procedure to install DECT Messenger release
4.0 from scratch. Installing from scratch formats the system and erases all
the data. Again, only perform a scratch install if you have good reasons
to do so, as it increases downtime and involves additional risks, as more
steps are involved.
An install from scratch is a recommended option if you want to replace
hardware, replace operating system, or you suspect your system is
malfunctioning.
Procedure 56
Installing from scratch (not recommended)
Step Action
1 Verify the following.
• Record the Computer Name and presence in workgroup of
domain.
•
Record the Network Setting, such as IP address, subnet
mask, and default gateway.
• Record if ROUTE PRINT shows persistent routes.
•
Record what third-party hardware and software are available,
and determine if you have the drivers and software to
reconfigure that hardware, for example a more recent
operating system, such as Moxa adapter, PCI boards, and
so on.
•
Record the usage of COM-ports, for example COM1 for
eCAP, COM2 for pcAnywhere, and so on.
• Ensure you have the License file for the dongle that licenses
the system.
• Make a backup image of the PC, for example with GHOST
software.
2 Now you can scratch install the system. Apply the changes
gathered in the previous step, for example Computer Name, IP
address, and so on.
