Replacing Installed BTS Router CF Memory Card IOS Version
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.
Equipment and Software Required for Verification Methods
The following items are required to perform this procedure:
S A Windows–based computer which meets the requirements of the
LMF computer platform as specified in Chapter 3 of this manual:
S One of the following operating systems for the Windows–based
computer:
– Windows 2000
– Windows 98 Second Edition (SE) using the FAT32 file system
CAUTION
BTS router CF memory cards loaded using computers equipped
with Windows 98 versions earlier than Windows 98 SE and using
the FAT16 file system will not operate properly, resulting in a
complete site outage.

Communication Session section of this Appendix
S DB–9 plug–to–8–contact modular plug adapter as described in the
