ABSTRACT:
Setting parameter values are migrated through a new software upgrade. Each software version includes a version number. The version number of the new software is compared to a version number of the current software. The version number of the current software is determined by reading a version number parameter value stored in a non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM). If the version number of the new software is higher than the version number of the current software, for each setting parameter value within a new map file, either a current setting parameter value stored in the NVRAM or a default value from the map file, is loaded into a temporary memory. The map file, corresponding to the current version number parameter value stored in the NVRAM, is used to associate the values in the NVRAM to their corresponding setting parameters. Once a value for each setting parameter is loaded into the temporary memory, the values from the temporary memory are then loaded into the NVRAM.
