Reinstalling System Software Using Recovery Mode

Uploading the .abf File to the CompactFlash

After reformatting the CompactFlash card to a factory-default state (either with quickformat or using the extended version with badblock checking), it is possible to restore a previous AastraLink Backup File (.abf) so that the system reboots into the previous configured state, rather than as a default greenfield.

Use the following procedure to upload an .abf file to the CompactFlash.

AastraLink Recovery UI

Step Action

1At the end of the CompactFlash card flash programming, the Web UI displays an optional link to return to the front page.

Click on this link and change the 'Upgrade Type' to 'Restore from ABF' .

This allows upload of an .abf file to the CompactFlash (assuming the .abf file is present on the TFTP/ FTP/HTTP server).

2After restoring the .abf file, click to reboot and allow the system to start up normally.

The system configuration extracts from the uploaded .abf file and service resumes, with all previous voicemail and system configuration restored.
