If you ordered a CD-ROM, insert it in the CD drive. The installation

process should start automatically.

2.

Follow the on-screen instructions in the Installation wizard to complete

the upgrade installation.

Performing a Factory Reset

A factory reset returns the system to its original state, without any

configuration. A factory reset may be required only when an internal system

error has occurred or the server does not start. If possible, you should back up

the database before you perform a factory reset.

Note:

You should perform a factory reset only if Polycom Technical Support

informs you it is required. To ensure a successful implementation, you

and Polycom Technical Support should go through this procedure

together.

To perform a factory reset

1.

Insert the System Rescue CD into the CD drive and restart the system.
The system automatically restores the factory default settings. A success

message appears when the original disk image has been restored, which

may take up to ten minutes.

2.

Remove the CD from the CD drive and restart the server by turning it off

and then on.

3.

Complete the first time setup according to instructions listed in the

Polycom RAS200A Getting Started Guide.

4.

Reinstall all software upgrades and restore the database.

Maintaining the Database

Polycom provides a utility, RAS200ABackupRestore.exe, to back up and

restore the internal database. You can run this utility remotely, directly on the

server, or in unattended mode from the command line. If you want to perform

periodic backups, use the following command:

RAS200BackupRestore -backup

For example: RAS200ABackupRestore -backup c:\tmp backs up the database

to the c:\tmp folder.
