Preparing the VAL circuit pack for the FTP
session
To prepare the VAL circuit pack for the FTP session, including setting the
username and password:
1. At the SAT, type
enable filesystem board board-location login
ftp-username [3-6 characters] ftp-password
[7-11 characters] and
press
RETURN.
For example, the command:
enable filesystem board 01A11 login romeo shakespeare
enables an FTP session into the VAL circuit pack in Cabinet 1, carrier A,
slot 11. The
ftp-username (3-6 characters) for this session is romeo, and
the
ftp-password (7-11 characters) is shakespeare.
When the FTP session on the circuit pack is enabled, the announcement
and firmware files are available to anyone who knows the VAL circuit
pack’s IP address, the ftp-username, and the ftp-password.
!
SECURITY ALERT:
Avaya recommends using a unique ftp-login and ftp-password for each FTP
session.
Starting an FTP session
If you are unfamiliar with FTP client application software, contact your network
administrator for information about access to an FTP session.
The following points apply to FTP sessions into the VAL circuit pack:
■ In FTP sessions, filenames are case-sensitive and require the .wav” file
extension.
■ Only one FTP session can be active at a time. If an FTP session is already
active for a particular VAL circuit pack, the system denies a second attempt
to establish an FTP session from some other remote host.
■ The VAL circuit pack has two user-accessible directories:
— /annc for playable announcements
— / (root) for temporary storage of embedded software updates. Use
this directory only for software updates.
■ FTP sessions time out after 10 minutes of inactivity.
