upgrade can be done in one of two ways: 
).
)
This section describes how both of these methods are used to perform upgrades.

Upgrading Using SCP/PSCP
To upgrade using SCP or PSCP (part of the PuTTY free Telnet/SSH package) you will need to 
transfer two files to the VCS: 
a text file containing just the 16-character Release Key
the file containing the software image. 
To upgrade using SCP or PSCP: 
Ensure the VCS is turned on and available on IP. 
Upload the release key file using SCP/PSCP to the 
/tmp
 folder on the system e.g. 
scp release-key root@10.0.0.1:/tmp/release-key
 or  
pscp release-key root@10.0.0.1:/tmp/release-key
Enter password when prompted. 
Copy the software image using SCP/PSCP. The target name must be 
/tmp/tandberg-image.tar.gz
, e.g. 
scp s42100x11.tar.gz root@10.0.0.1:/tmp/tandberg-image.tar.gz
 or
 
pscp s42100x11.tar.gz root@10.0.0.1:/tmp/tandbergimage.tar.gz
Enter password when prompted. 
Wait until the software has installed completely. This should not take more than two minutes. 
Reboot the system. 
After about four minutes the system will be ready to use.

Upgrading Software
Backing up the Existing Configuration Before Upgrading
The existing configuration will be restored after performing an upgrade.  However, we recommend 
that you make a backup of the existing configuration before performing the upgrade. 
To do this:
Use the command line interface to log on to the VCS.
Issue the command 
xConfiguration
. 
Save the resulting output to a file, using cut-and-paste or some other means provided by your 
terminal emulator.
To restore your configuration:
Remove the 
*c
 from in front of each command.
Paste this information back in to the command line interface.
