Cisco Business Edition 3000 and USB Usage
The Cisco Business Edition 3000 supports the usage of a USB key or a USB hard disk. The USB key or a USB hard disk can be used only if required file exists on the USB device. The PC desktop or SFTP server can also be used for many of the tasks instead of using a USB device. The usage of PC desktop or SFTP server is described in the Administration Guide for Cisco Business Edition 3000. For example, uploading of announcement file to a system can be performed using USB device, provided the required file is existing on the USB device.
Cisco does not provide support for the USB devices through the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC). If you have issues with the USB hardware, contact the manufacturer of the USB device or the retailer where you purchased the device.
You can download the temporary Network Configuration Signature file (configure.xml) from http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/navigator.html?mdfid=283661240&flowid=26421, edit the file with valid network information (such as IP address, subnet mask, and gateway configuration), and save the updated copy in the USB key.
Cisco recommends two USB keys: one for diagnostics and one for recovery (network configuration). The USB key that you use for recovery does not modify the existing network setting of the machine. When the network configuration USB key is inserted into the system, temporary network access is established, allowing you to access the Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface. This temporary network access is automatically disabled if the machine is restarted.
When you modify the network configuration USB key; open the temporary IP address in your browser, log in to the Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface and modify the network settings to reflect the changes that you made in the temporary network interface so that the modifications are permanent.
Table 2 lists the task to perform using the USB key with the Cisco Business Edition 3000.
Note
Cisco recommends that you use two dedicated USB keys for network configuration (recovery) and diagnostics. You should copy the Network Configuration Signature file (configure.xml) to the network configuration USB key and the Diagnostics Signature file (diagnose.xml) to the Diagnostics USB key.
