To upgrade the MGX 8260, download the new system software from CCO to a management server on
your network that supports the UNIX tftp function.
Transferring Files to the MGX 8260
Using tftp, transfer the files to the MGX 8260 using the following procedure:
Step 1 Log on to the workstation running the tftp server and locate the files you downloaded in the
“Downloading Software from CCO” section.
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.
Step 3 Set the transfer mode to binary with the following command:
mode binary
Step 4 Use the following tftp commands to transfer SCC software to the MGX 8260:
tftp> put vxWorks_dnld.scc.fw scc_r01.02.05.img.[key]
tftp> put vxWorks_boot.scc.fw scc_r01.02.05.fls.[key]
For information about the security key [key], refer to the “Security Key Requirements” section on

Upgrading Card Software
Before performing an upgrade, make sure you have a current backup of the configuration database.
Back up the database using the dbbkup command from the command line interface.
Caution All modules must be upgraded to the new release of software during the upgrade process.
Performing a partial upgrade (For example, some, but not all BSCs, or some, but not all NSCs) could
cause unexpected behavior in MGX 8260 system operation.
Note The installation procedure described here is for a graceful upgrade process from the software release
indicated in the “System Software Upgrade Paths” section on page 3-21 to the current release.
The general process to upgrade software on all cards is as follows:
1. Initiate a Telnet session with the target MGX 8260 Media Gateway, specifying the IP address of the
MGX 8260 management port in standard IP dot notation.
