Connect the PC and establish a WaveStar^® CIT session to the gateway Network Element.

Important!

You must login via either OSI or TCP/IP.

Reference:

Procedure 14-2: Connect Personal Computer (PC) and establish WaveStar^® CIT session

From the System View menu, select Administration → Set NE and enable File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and FTAM-FTP (FTTD) Gateway Control.

Click OK.

Is your remote NE in the same OSI network as your gateway NE?

From the System View, select Administration → Data Communications.

Select the Network Layer tab and record the NSAP from the Network Service Access Point panel (the NSAP is a 40-digit hex number). This NSAP is required later in this procedure.

Establish a WaveStar^® CIT session to the remote Network Element to which you wish to download the NE software generic.

Procedure 14-2: Connect Personal Computer (PC) and establish WaveStar^® CIT session

Before upgrading the network, perform a backup the NE database.

Reference:

Procedure 2-11: Backup and restore NE database via FTTD

From the System View menu, select Configuration → Software → Download Software.

Result:

The Download Software window appears.

In the pull-down Download From/Via: menu, select FTTD and verify that the FTTD tab is selected.

Define the FTAM-FTP Gateway in one of the following ways:

• If the TID of the FTAM-FTP Gateway has been previously defined, select it from the TID pull-down menu.

  OR

• If the gateway NE and the remote NE are in the same OSI area:

  1. Enter the TID of the FTAM-FTP Gateway in the TID field and click Get NSAP. (If any fields on this screen are populated, click Clear before you enter the TID.)

  2. Click Add and then Save. The TID is added to the pull-down menu for this CIT. If you replace the SYSCTL in the GNE, re-enter the NSAP address for this gateway NE's TID.

  OR

• If the gateway NE and the remote NE are not in the same OSI area:

  1. In the FTTD panel, select _template_ from the TID: pull-down, which pre-populates most of the fields on this form (required value for Psel is 02, Ssel is 5353, and Tsel is 5454).

  2. Click Modify.

  3. Replace _template_ with the TID of the FTAM-FTP gateway.

  4. Complete the NSAP Address panel with the NSAP of the FTTD gateway recorded in Step 5.

     In most cases, you only need to replace the System Identifier (Sys:) field with the Mac Address of the FTTD gateway.

     Note: The Mac Address is the first 12 digits of the last 14 digits of the NSAP. The Mac Address of Alcatel-Lucent products begin with “00601D”.

     Example: The Mac Address for NSAP Address 39840F800000000000000000000 00601D2CBC1800 is 00601D2CBC18.

  5. Replace the Selector (Sel:) field with “1d”.

  6. Click Add and then Save. The TID has been added to the pull-down menu for this CIT. If you replace the SYSCTL in the GNE, re-enter the NSAP address for this GNE's TID.

Select the FTP tab.

Select the connection from the Profile pull-down menu and then proceed to Step 14. OR Enter information for a new profile as follows:

1. In the Server panel, select IP and enter the address of the FTP server. (If the WaveStar^® CIT is the FTP server, you can determine its IP address by entering ipconfig from the MS DOS prompt on your PC.)

2. If necessary, enter the port (default is blank). Defining the port is not required for the download to execute successfully. However, a value of 21 is valid if entered.

3. In the User panel, enter the user name and password for the FTP server. (If you are using the WaveStar^® CIT as your FTP server, the default user name/password for the WaveStar^® CIT is LUC01/LUC+01, however your user name/password can be different.)

If you entered connection information in Step 12 and wish to keep the information for future backups:

1. Type a new name in the Profile menu.

2. Click Add to add the profile to the list.

3. Click Save to save the list.

Important!

Entries to the Profile pull-down menu can be changed using the Modify, Apply, and Save buttons or removed using the Delete button.

In the Source/Destination Directory Path panel, enter the current location of the generic to be downloaded or use the Browse button (if available) to select the generic to be downloaded. If the FTP server is either undefined or not the local host, the Browse button is greyed out.

Important!

If you selected the default installation location for the WaveStar^® CIT and software generic: \generics\DXT\9.1.0\p. If necessary, replace 9.1.0 with your current release, for example 9.1.1. The WaveStar^® CIT automatically populates the FTAM Responder and NSAP fields. Click Next.

The value of the Path field can be either an absolute path or a relative path that is relative to the FTAM server root directory. The absolute path must start with the drive name followed by a colon (:) then the path names; for example: C:\Program Files\Alcatel-Lucent\WaveStar CIT\generics\DXT\9.1.0\p. If necessary, replace 9.1.0 with your current release, for example 9.1.1. The syntax of the relative path must start with the path name; for example: \generics\DXT\9.1.0\p.

In the Product Type panel, select the product type of the software generic that you are downloading (not necessarily the same as the NE to which you are downloading).

Click OK.

Result:

A warning message appears asking you to confirm executing this command. Verify the information and click Yes. While the download is in progress, a progress indicator window is present.

The download takes approximately 30 minutes.

The download can be cancelled any time by pressing the Cancel button on the progress screen.

When the transfer is complete, the Progress Indicator window closes and the download software successful window appears. Click OK.

Do you wish to observe the FTP download progress?

Important!

Do NOT insert a new circuit pack in the shelf until after you apply the new software generic and clear the dormant/exec version mismatch condition.

Do you wish to apply (activate) the software generic that you recently downloaded to the dormant area of the Alcatel-Lucent 1665 DMXtend shelf?

Do you wish to upgrade additional shelves via FTTD?
