This is a sample from a FTP session to transfer the computer file firmware.bin to

the VOP.

This is a sample from a FTP session to transfer the VOP’s current configuration file

(including the configuration files of all the VOP) to the computer file config.txt.

If your FTP client does not allow you to have a destination filename different than

the source, you will need to rename them as the VOP only recognizes “config-0”

and “ras”. Be sure you keep unaltered copies of the files for later use.

The following table is a summary. Please note that the internal filename refers to

the filename on the VOP and the external filename refers to the filename not on

the VOP, that is, on your computer, local network or FTP site and so the name (but

not the extension) may vary. After uploading new firmware, use the sys version

command on the VOP to confirm that you have uploaded the correct firmware

version.

31.3 Editable Configuration File

The configuration file can be downloaded as a plain-text (ASCII) file. Edits to the

configuration can be made to this file before it is uploaded again to the VOP.

Note: You can change the “.dat” file to a “.txt” file and still upload it back to the VOP.

Note: Do not upload any invalid files to the VOP’s configuration file, as it may

permanently damage your VOP.

31.3.1 Editable Configuration File Backup

Configure your system, and then use FTP to backup the plain-text configuration

file onto your computer. Do the following to backup the configuration file:
