Copying system images from a network server to Flash memory

As mentioned previously, the system image file contains the application software that runs SmartWare; it is loaded into the flash memory at the Patton Electronics Co. factory. Since most of the voice and data features of the SmartNode are defined and implemented in the application software, upgrading to a new release might be necessary if you want to have additional voice and data features available. A new system image file must be stored permanently into the flash memory of your SmartNode to be present when booting the device.

Since the system image file is preloaded at the Patton Electronics Co. factory, you will have to download a new SmartWare application software only if a major software upgrade is necessary or if recommended by Patton Electronics Co. Under normal circumstances, downloading a system image file should not be needed.

Downloading a new system image file means storing it permanently at a defined location within the Smart- Node flash memory. To store the system image file, you must use a special download script file. This script file defines how to handle the system image file and where to store it. You cannot download any system image file without an appropriate script file.

Each line in the script file is a command for the CLI of your SmartNode. To download a system image file, which will replace the currently running SmartWare application software, a script file with only one command is necessary.
