Retrieving the new software

For Version 4.80 and later, the VPN Router release image is available in a compressed .zip file so that each individual file does not download separately. The VPN Router decompresses the image as it retrieves it. You must then apply the new image.

To use the compressed zip file:

1Place the zip file (for example, V04_80.114.tar.gz) on the FTP server that you are using for the upgrade.

D:\ftp>dir
Volume in drive D has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 9B29-6769
Directory of D:\ftp
06/18/2003	01:20p	<DIR>	.
06/18/2003	01:20p	<DIR>	..
06/18/2003	06:53a	31,779,808	V04_80.069.tar.gz

Note: Do not attempt to create your own zip archive. Use the .tar.gz file distributed by Nortel.

2Select Admin > Upgrades.

3Fill in the following fields on the Upgrades window:

•Host: type the IP address or the name of the machine where the new software is located.

•Path: type the directory path location of the new software. The path value is the relative location of the .gz file from the FTP root in the directory. In the example below, the V04_80.069.tar.gz file is located at the root of the FTP directory.

•Version: type the exact name of the code that you are upgrading to (for example, V04_80.114).
