Installing or Upgrading the CTPView Server OS
This topic provides an overview of installing and upgrading
the operating system (OS) for the CTPView server.
Before you begin, do all of the
following:
- Verify that this is the procedure you wish to use to update
the software on the CTPView server. See Updating the CTPView Server Operating System and CTPView Network Management System Software.
- Ensure that you have a monitor and keyboard connected
to the CTPView server. You must also have an external storage device
connected to the server in order to save the current data and settings
for CTPView.
- Ensure that the server is connected to the network.
- If your server is currently running FC1, you must be running
CTPView 2.1R2 or 2.1R3 in order to back up your existing data and
configuration settings before upgrading the OS version. See Upgrading Only the CTPView Software for

If your server is running FC1, we recommend that you upgrade
