Chapter 3 Card Management
Saving and Restoring Card Configurations
Step 3 Record the file name for future reference. By default, the backup file name matches the software version
name with a .cfg extension. For example, the backup file for software release R01.02.03 is
SCC_R01.02.03.CFG
Uploading Configurations
The MGX 8260 stores configuration information for all cards in the chassis in the SCC hard drive. You
can upload this configuration information to an external server for safekeeping. Before performing this
procedure, check your records to determine the name of the backup file you want to upload.
To upload a configuration file, follow these steps:
Step 1 Log onto the workstation running the tftp server.
Step 2 Initiate a tftp session with the target MGX 8260 Media Gateway using the tftp command.
tftp <IP Address>
Specify the IP address of the MGX 8260 management port in standard IP dot notation.
Note tftp is an operating system command executed by the management workstation.
Step 3 Set the transfer mode to binary:
mode binary
Step 4 Start the file transfer using the tftp get command.
get <FileName>.<SecurityKey>
Step 5 Confirm the file transfer by checking the distribution directory.
Downloading Configurations
The MGX 8260 stores configuration files on the SCC hard drive, so you generally don’t need to
download a configuration file. However, if you prefer to save configuration files on an external server,
you can download the file to the MGX 8260 before invoking dbrstr. Before performing this procedure,
check your records to determine the name of the backup file you want to download.
Parameter Description
FileName The name of the configuration file. This name indicates the card type,
major release, minor release, and version, followed by the .cfg
extension. For example, SCC_R01.02.03.CFG is the database for
software release 1.2.3.
SecurityKey The six-character alphanumeric security key for the target MGX 8260
