Prolog information
  1. Backup Branch Gateway by entering backup config usb usbdevice0 backup-name, where backup-name is the backup directory path and file name you are creating on the USB mass-storage device.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    A backup directory is created on the USB mass-storage device.
  2. From PLDS, download to your PC the firmware files of the media modules you are adding or upgrading.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    For each media module, download all firmware corresponding to the various hardware vintage/suffix versions available for that module. If you are not sure which files you need, you can download the firmware files of all media modules. The restore operation uses only the files needed.
  3. Insert the USB mass-storage device into the PC’s USB port, and copy the media modules’ firmware files to the MM subdirectory under the root backup directory.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

    When adding files to a backup directory on a USB mass-storage device, it is important to follow the file and directory naming convention, to enable a successful restore.
  4. Insert the USB mass-storage device into Branch Gateway USB port.
  5. Enter restore usb usbdevice0 backup-name, where backup-name is the backup directory path and file name on the USB mass-storage device.
  6. If you changed the placement of media modules in the slots, update the MGC managing Branch Gateway.
