 Boot File: This field specifies the file name for the software (cmp) file that is loaded by
the TFTP utility to the VoIP gateway after the VoIP gateway receives the BootReply
message. The actual software file is located in the TFTP utility directory that is
specified in the BootP Preferences window. The software file can be followed by
command line switches. For information on available command line switches, refer to
Section C.11.6 on page 390.
Note 1: Once the software file loads into the gateway, the gateway begins
functioning from that software. In order to save this software to non-volatile
memory, (only the cmp file, i.e., the compressed firmware file, can be
burned to your device's flash memory), the -fb flag must be added to the
end of the file name. If the file is not saved, the gateway reverts to the old
version of software after the next reset.
Note 2: The Boot file field can contain up to two file names: cmp file name to be
used for load of application image and ini file name to be used for gateway
provisioning. Either one, two, or no file names can appear in the Boot file
field. To use both file names use the ‘;’ separator (without blank spaces)
between the xxx.cmp and the yyy.ini files (e.g., ram.cmp;H323gw.ini).
 ini File: This field specifies the configuration ini file that the gateway uses to program
its various settings. Enter the name of the file that is loaded by the TFTP utility to the
VoIP gateway after it receives the BootReply message. The actual ini file is located in
the TFTP utility directory that is specified in the BootP Preferences window.
C.11.6 Using Command Line Switches
You can add command line switches in the field Boot File.
¾ To use a Command Line Switch, take these 4 steps:
1. In the field Boot File, leave the file name defined in the field as it is (e.g.,
ramxxx.cmp).
2. Place your cursor after cmp.
3. Press the space bar.
4. Type in the switch you require.
Example: ‘ramxxx.cmp –fb’ to burn flash memory.
‘ramxxx.cmp -fb -em 4’ to burn flash memory and for Ethernet Mode 4 (auto-negotiate).
Table C-1 lists and describes the switches that are available:
