Managing Router Files

Checking Available and Contiguous Free Space on a Volume
At the bottom of the Router Files Manager window (refer to Figure 5-1), the
amount of free space in a selected volume is displayed (T
able 5-3).
The router volume must have enough space available for a copied or transferred
file. Depending on the router software version you are using, your software may
automatically check the available space for you. To display your router software
version, choose Help > Site Manager Version in the Router Files Manager
window.
Routers that use Version 7.80 software (or later) automatically check to ensure
that there is adequate free space on the destination volume.
For routers that use software earlier than Version 7.80, do the following:
• Determine the size of the file you want to copy.
• Check the amount of free space available on the destination volume; free
space is displayed at the bottom of the Router Files Manager window.
For a router diskette destination volume, use the number of bytes displayed
for the
Available free space. For a flash memory destination volume, use
the number of bytes displayed for
Contiguous free space.
Table 5-3. Free Space Information
Field Description
Total size Total number of bytes (used and unused) on the
volume
Available free space Number of unused bytes on the volume
Contiguous free space Number of unused bytes in the largest block available
on the volume
Caution: Copying a file to flash memory that has an insufficient amount of
contiguous free space can corrupt the copied file. Before you copy a file,
compact memory. Refer to “C
ompacting Flash Memory ” on page 5-22.
