Do the CISCO Business Edition 3000 supports USB flash drive or a USB hard disk 


Cisco Business Edition 3000 gives you the option of using USB flash drive or a USB hard disk for the following functionality:

  • Updating the network parameters—You can copy the configure.xml file to a USB flash drive to update the network parameters. The temporary network address allows you to log in to the First Time Setup Wizard through a browser. The purpose of the .xls data configuration file is to create temporary network parameters so that they do not have to connect a laptop to the server using a cable, and access the GUIs using default addresses.


Note After you run the Cisco Business Edition 3000 First Time Setup Wizard, designate a single USB DVD drive key for this function.

  • Uploading a Cisco-provided country pack—You copy the Cisco-provided country pack to the USB flash drive and then install the country pack through the Country/Locale page in the Cisco Business Edition 3000 First Time Setup Wizard.
  • Uploading the Cisco-provided.xls data configuration file—You can copy the Cisco-provided .xls data configuration file to the USB flash drive and then upload the spreadsheet to the system through the Cisco Business Edition 3000 First Time Setup Wizard.
  • Backing Up and Restoring Your Data—You may store your backup tar file to a USB hard disk, and if you must restore you data for any reason, you can access the backup tar file on the USB hard disk to restore the data through the Restore page in the Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface.
  • Uploading an audio source file for Music On Hold—You can copy the .wav file that you want to use for music on hold to the USB flash drive; after you insert the USB flash drive in the Cisco Business Edition 3000 server, you can upload the file through the Music On Hold page in the Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface.
  • Uploading Cisco User Connect licenses—Cisco User Connect license allow you to track the users and phones that are in your system. You may use a USB flash drive to upload licenses.


Note  Some operating systems do not allow you to copy an entire file that is larger than 4 GB to the USB flash drive. The system silently copies only 4 GB of the file to the USB flash drive. Hence, Cisco recommends that you use  USB flash drives that are formatted as FAT32 in the Cisco Business Edition 3000.


Note Linux platform supports USB flash drives formatted with FAT32.

  • Exporting your configured data—By using the Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface, you can export all of your configured data to a storage device that is connected to a USB port or to a SFTP server. You may store the exported configuration to a USB flash drive or USB hard disk.
  • Using the Cisco Diagnostic Tool—The Cisco Diagnostic Tool allows you to diagnose your system if you cannot access the Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative Interface. You copy the diagnose.xml file that is used with the Cisco Diagnostic Tool to a USB flash drive.

Note  Make sure that you designate a USB flash drive just for this purpose. Do not use the USB flash drive for other functions.
