PDF user manual for CopperEdge 150

&RQILJXULQJ%DFNXSEven with a modest number of connected subscribers, thesaved file containing the CE150 configuration data can be extensive.Copper Mountain recommends that you periodicallyback up the file to a remote machine for reference (such aswhen the System Control Module is replaced) or emergencyuse.With an on-line file server available to act as receiver, theCE150 (Version 2.0 and later) can be commanded to back upits current (saved) configuration on demand, or it can be configuredto automatically send a Config file backup at specifiedrecurring intervals. Using the cmMaintCmd table and its ConfigBackupcommand, you can specify the exact time to performthe backup, and how often, if ever, you wish it to recur.1 2 7 (If you back up or otherwise gain access to a config.tgz (or config.txt)file, you can view the file with a text editor, but do not try to edit it withany offline (non-CE150) application. While it may appear to be in textformat, the config file cannot be reliably revised or updated with a texteditor. If the file should become corrupted, routing information may beadversely affected, with unintended effects on service.%DFNLQJ8SWKH6DYHG&RQILJ)LOHTo configure a backup of the config.tgz (or config.txt) file, one or(preferably) two file servers (primary and secondary) need to beset up with FTP servers to receive the configuration file from theCE150.The backed up file is always an uncompressed text file (config.txt).Using the cmMaintCmd table and the configbackup command,configure the CE150 for config backup. Use the following commandexample as a model for your own configuration.Full configuration of cmMaintCmd requires setting a fairlylengthy list of parameters. To reduce the required complexity ofany single command, you can issue multiple Set commands,provided you begin by specifying the ConfigBackup commandand creating the appropriate row in the cmMaintCmd table.CRAFT> set cmmaintcmd [configbackup] rowstatus=createandwaitCRAFT> set cmmaintcmd [configbackup]primaryipaddr=206.71.190.4CRAFT> set cmmaintcmd [configbackup]secondaryipaddr=206.71.190.5CRAFT> set cmmaintcmd [configbackup] directory= /ce200config/sys1&RSSHU(GJH,QVWDOODWLRQDQG2SHUDWLQJ*XLGH
