Saving a copy of the 4600-series phone configuration file, if any
During an upgrade, any data in the /tftpboot directory is overwritten with new software and 
firmware. If the system was using the http or tftp capability for 4600-series phone firmware 
downloads and configuration updates, the firmware and 4600-series phone configuration file 
are overwritten. 
You must redownload the 46xx firmware file after the upgrade. However, you can save a copy of 
the 46xx configuration file before the upgrade and copy it back into the /tftpboot directory after 
the upgrade.
