Software Install Overview (Single Node)
- Kelli Higdon
Â
The single node software installation requires loading system software into the IMG 2020 using one of the methods described below. The instructions below guide you through the process required to remove the IMG 2020 from shipping box, install the unit into a rack system, and load software. Once procedure has been completed, the IMG 2020 will be ready to start configuring using the Web GUI.
Â
Important!!! If purchasing a single node direct connect system and the plans are to expand to multiple nodes, initially purchasing a Multi Node setup with EMS software will make it easier to expand to more than one node. The configuration files used in the single node scenario can not be used in the multi node setup. In this case, the node will need to be completely re-configured .
Unpack and remove the IMG 2020 from shipping box. Refer to topic.
Acquire all IP addresses required.
If loading system software through an FTP Server using the DHCP Service, the MAC Address of the IMG 2020 is entered into the dhcpd.conf file. The MAC address can be acquired from the label located on the bottom of the chassis just below the SD Card and UART interfaces. The MAC address on the label is the MAC address given to the CTRL 0 interface on the rear of the unit. Copy the MAC address.
Mount the system. Refer to topic.
The IMG 2020 is powered by either AC or DC power. Refer to either or topic for information on connecting power.
The IMG 2020 is shipped without software loaded. Obtain the latest version of software from Sangoma BBS (Bulletin Board System). Follow the instructions below.

Loading Software and Configuring IP Information
After downloading the system software from Sangoma BBS (Bulletin Board System), the software is then loaded onto the IMG 2020 along with any IP Addresses required. Choose one of the methods described in the table below.
Method | Description |
|---|---|
SD card | In the SD Card method, both the system software and IP information are taken from the SD Card. This method is primarily used when the IMG 2020 is at a remote site and neither FTP nor BootP access is attainable. For more information refer to Software Install - SD Card. |
SD Card/FTP Server | In the SD Card/FTP Server method the SD Card is loaded with information required to communicate with an FTP Server. The FTP Server then loads the system software from a specific FTP directory on the FTP server. In this method a bootup.cfg is loaded with the FTP Server information. For more information refer to  Software Install - FTP/SD Card. |
DHCP/FTP Server | In the DHCP/FTP method, a dhcpd.conf file on the Server is loaded with information of where the system software is located. In this method, the MAC Address of the IMG 2020 is used in the dhcpd.conf file. For more information refer to Software Install - FTP/DHCP topic. |
