Obtain Software 
There are two ways you can obtain our client application software: 
 
You can choose to order a software binder. Software binders are available for 
released software and include CDs and release notes. Contact Cisco Services for 
more information on receiving a software binder. 
 
You can download the software by connecting to an FTP server maintained by 
Cisco Services. BETA software, emergency patches, and released software are 
available through the FTP server. 
The remainder of this section provides an outline for obtaining the software through 
the FTP server. If you have received a software binder, go to Installing the Software 
from a CD
 (on page 23) for instructions to load the software from a CD. 
 
Download Software from the FTP Server 
Access to the FTP server requires current FTP server site access information. This 
information is located in the software release note. 
Important: BETA software is provided to labs which, in turn, provide a broader 
testing environment. BETA software releases are provided in their current state of 
development and are not covered under the same software license agreements as 
released software. BETA software releases should only be used on test units until the 
software is released by us and approved through your organization's software 
acceptance process. 
The following procedure provides generic steps to directly download software from 
the FTP server onto the DNCS. For security reasons, many sites do not allow open 
Internet connections from the DNCS. As a result, your process might vary from the 
procedure provided. 
The software release note provides additional information necessary to download 
software. If you have any questions about this process, contact Cisco Services. 
 
Downloading the Client Application Software Release from the FTP Server 
1  
Log on to the DNCS as root
2  Type the following command and press Enter
cd /export/home/dncs/download 
 
3  Log on to our FTP server. 
Note: The address of the server and login information are provided in the release 
note for the software release.
