Maintaining Multiple Configuration File Versions
As previously mentioned, there are three methods used to change the configuration using
WinSCP:
1.
Upload and relink: Upload a new configuration file and relink the file
(preferred) – This method uses WinSCP to transfer a new configuration file
to the radio. The old symbolic link will then need to be deleted and a new
symbolic link will need to be created to this new file as noted below.
2.
Carefully edit a preexisting configuration file and relink the file – This method is a
little more involved as it will require the user to selectively edit an existing
configuration file and then delete the old symbolic link and create a new link to
the modified file. (It should be noted that syntax errors and incorrect parameter
selection and range can disable a radio.)
3.
Edit the symbolic link file (which edits the linked file by default) – This method
edits the symbolic link file "bs_config.xml" or "ms_config.xml" which edits the
linked file therefore a new symbolic link does not need to be created.
The recommended process for managing configuration file changes is to create multiple copies
of the appropriate configuration file, giving each version a meaningful filename. A symbolic link
is then used to make the association with the standard filename and the version to be used, as
shown in the example below:
Command to show Symbolic link in Base Station Configuration Directory:
root@BS5000:/root/BS5000# ls -l bs_config.xml
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Jan 2 05:43 bs_config.xml -> bs_config.xml_1M
