7 Software Alarms Scheduled Action Failure: no scheduled action took place correcly (i.e. the

scheduled software download) Sw/Hw Mismatch: no compatibility between the software version and the

hardware version (the software version requires a different hardware version) Software Switch No allowed: not possible to switch the two software banks Application mismatch for Standby version: the FlexiPacket MultiRadio can

work in 2 different ways according to the type of the installed software: packet (application described in this document) or hybrid. If on the active bank is installed the packet application and for any reason in the stand-by bank is installed the hybrid application, this alarm will become active.

8.2.1 Software Data ViewSelect Software Inventory in menu Product & Software.This menu shows the following software data:

check sum, software release and build of the software uploaded on the active memory bank;

check sum, software release and build of the software uploaded on the standby memory bank;

version of the software running on each hardware module.

Figure 39 Equipment Software Data View

8.2.2 Software UpgradeFrom WebLCT, the build software can be upgraded without any interruption on the oper-ation.

The upgrade procedure uploads the software build on the standby bank; the system keeps running the pre-existing software on the active bank.

To make active the new build software, it is necessary to execute the switching of the banks. The switching operation runs the new version of the software.

To upgrade the build software, follow the steps.


Operate and MaintainAdministration tasks

Steps

1. Click on Product and Software menu.2. Click on SW Upload button.3. Insert User Name = admin and Password = Administrator Password.4. Click OK.

Figure 40 Software Upgrade5. Select the file standby.pec (previously stored in the PC). 6. Confirm the operation.

7. In the Stand-by SW load area a new field appears (SW download), which shows the status of the download (running), as shown in the next figure.

8. Wait until the SW download field disappears from the screen (the download is now complete).

9. In the Switch Loads area two ways to swap the 2 banks are available: a) Click the Switch button in the Immediate Switch field to start with the swap of

the two loads: the standby load becomes active and the active load becomes standby.

b) Click on Schedule button in the Scheduled Switch field to set the date and time of the activation of the standby load.(Click on Delete to cancel the scheduled date).

t The software upgrade can be done also by using any FTP client in binary mode. When you log-in check to be in directory ram 0.t The Align loads button copies the active bank to the stand-by bank.

t Sw load hybrid packet mismatch alarm in the stand-by SW load areaThe FlexiPacket MultiRadio can work in 2 different ways according to the type of the installed software: packet (application described in this document) or hybrid. If on the active bank is installed the packet application and for any reason in the stand-by bank is installed the hybrid application, this alarm will become active.

8.3 License UpgradeThe license is stored into the Memory Hardware.

When a change of the functionalities (subject to license) is required, the NE checks if the fees and the credits allow the new setting.

Select the menu Equipment > Operation, Administration and Maintenance > tab-panel License.

Pressing the Enter push-button in the License area, the License Key Modify window opens, where it is possible to insert in SMS format a new license for expanding the software functions. There are four text fields for the four blocks of the license.

t To generate a new license the CLicS application must be used.With this application the new values to be inserted in the four License Key fields are calculated.



The instructions to use the CLicS are given in chapter 9.1 Instructions for fetching license key from CLicS system.

8.4 Networking parameter change in the Single cable con-figurationsThis paragraph gives the sequence of steps to be adopted in order to make effective the Networking Parameters in the Co-located ODU in "single cable" protected system types (1+1 HSBY 1c and 2+0 XPIC 1c). This workaround is needed because, following a change in the Networking parameters of the Co_localed ODU (IP_address, IP_mask, IP_gateway and M_VID) configured in the Direct_Connected ODU (and sent to the Co_located via LLDP Protocol), these new parameters are not effective. The new parameters can be made available in different ways:

HW Reset of the Direct_connected ODU, Disabling/Enabling of ACCM Timer and Disabling/Enabling MAC Learning in Direct

Connected ODU Topology change (disconnect and reconnect the ODU-ODU cable or connect/dis-

connect the GbE cable of Co-located ODU)

Figure 42 Single cable topology

The above triggers must be done after the modifications of the Network parameters.

Three cases are taken into account:

1 New Installation - In this case, for simplicity, it is suggested to perform an HW Reset on the Direct Connected ODU as workaround for the described problem.

2 Swap&Repair - In this case, since it is possible that live traffic is running in the Direct Connected ODU, is strongly suggested not to issue the HW Reset on this ODU, but apply on the same ODU the procedure described here below.

3 Networking parameters change - Also in this case it is suggested to apply the pro-cedure described below (a part the cases, where no live traffic is running in the Direct Connected ODU).
