Change or Upgrade BTS Router IOS Version
I-34 1X SC4812T–MC BTS Optimization/ATP 5/21/04
DRAFT
Background
BTS routers are supplied with CF memory cards pre–loaded with a
version of the IOS. Prior to installing the routers in a BTS, the loaded
IOS version should be verified as being the one required for the network.
It is critical to also verify that the IOS file is the first file on the CF
memory card. If another file precedes the IOS file, the BTS router will
not boot properly and will not function in the network.
