PRELIMINARY
Canned Configuration File
Installation
Filename and Installation Location Requirements
The Canned Configuration Files for the BTS Routers must be copied to
the CF Memory Card. The filename of the file on the CF Memory Card
must be canned–config.
Canned Configuration File Location and Filename Requirements are a
result of Mobile Wireless Center (MWC) Actions during the process of
switching a BTS from Packet to Circuit Mode. In this process, the MWC
will query the BTS Routers’ slot0: Directory for a file named
canned–config. A missing or misnamed file will cause problems with
execution of the Mode–switching Process..
Installation Methods
The startup–config Configuration File used by the BTS Router
during Initialization is stored in NVRAM. This is a memory device
internal to the BTS Router and is separate from the CF Memory Card.
To install the Canned Configuration File so the BTS Router will use it
during Boot–up, the file must be copied into the startup–config File
in NVRAM.
There are two methods available to accomplish this.:
1. Using a TFTP Server Application to copy the Canned Configuration
File from the Windows–based LMF Computer to the CF Memory
Card installed in a BTS Router, and then copying it to the
startup–config File in the BTS Router’s NVRAM.
2. Using a CF Memory Card Reader to copy the Canned Configuration
File to a CF Memory Card, and then, once the CF Memory Card is
installed in the BTS Router, using a HyperTerminal Communication
Session to copy the file from the CF Memory Card to the
startup–config File in the BTS Router’s NVRAM.
Comparison of Methods
Preparation for using the TFTP Server Application Method is extensive
and requires setting up simultaneous Serial and FE Communication
Sessions with the BTS Router. This method offers the advantage of
being able to verify IOS File Sequence Position immediately, and
supporting Direct File Transfers between the BTS Router and LMF
Computer without removing the CF Memory Card.
As an alternative, using a CF Memory Card Reader to copy the Canned
Configuration File to a CF Memory Card, and from there to the
startup–config File requires very little set–up. With this method, the
IOS File Sequence Position can only be verified once the CF Memory
Card is installed in the BTS Router, and any file transfers between the
BTS Router and LMF Computer require physically moving the CF
Memory Card between the BTS Router and Card Reader..
