134 SFVRA Connection Manager
TRANSFERRING .NEI FILES
1. Configure the Windows NT machine or CyberSWITCH so that they are on the same LAN.
2. Connect the two machines with a 10Base-T crossover cable.
3. Start a DOS prompt.
4. Ping the CyberSWITCH to ensure connectivity. For example, if the CyberSWITCH system’s
LAN address is 134.141.131.1, type:
ping 134.141.131.1
5. Use a TFTP client application to GET the files from the CyberSWITCH to the Windows NT
machine. Or, use the DOS command TFTP <CSX IP Address> GET <source> <destination>.
For example, to transfer the IP.NEI file to the C:\TEMP directory on the Windows NT machine,
type:
tftp 134.141.131.1 get \config\ip.nei c:\temp\ip.nei
Note: If the CyberSWITCH system is running a version of UAA software previous to 7.1, the
NETWORK.NEI file should be transferred. If the CyberSWITCH is running 7.1 or later
software, the DEVDB.NEI file should be transferred.
CONVERTING CSX CONFIGURATION FILES
1. From the Start menu\Programs\SFVRA, select Convert. The Convert program executes.
2. Enter a Login ID and a password, if necessary, and click OK.
Note: You must have read/write privileges to run the Convert application. Refer to the
Manage Logins chapter for more details.
3. Select CSX Configuration Files as the file type for conversion. Click Continue.
4. Configure any global defaults desired. Click Continue.
5. Locate the path of the .NEI files. Click Finish.
DATA FILES
The second type is a data file, containing only a name and password or name, password, and IP
address. The password is copied to both the PAP/Ethernet Password and the CHAP Secret fields
in the SFVRA Database. The data file can be space and tab delineated, and must be in the following
format:
[user_name]<tab or space>[password]<tab or space>[IP address]
