From the System View menu, select Configuration → Software → Remote Backup.

In the pull-down Backup To/Via: menu, select FTP.

Select the connection from the Profile pull-down menu and proceed to Step 5. 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 backup 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 ID/password may be different.)

If you entered connection information in Step 3 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.

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

In the Source/Destination Directory Path field, enter \backups\<filename> if you wish to save the backup file to the default location. (If the WaveStar^® CIT is the FTP server, a maximum of 80 characters is suggested for this field.)

You may also click the Browse button next to the Path: field to browse to any directory on your PC and over-write the default entry. The Browse button is not available (greyed out) if the FTP server is not the local WaveStar^® CIT.

Important!

The value of the Path field can be either an absolute path or a relative path that is relative to the FTP server root directory. The absolute path must start with the drive name followed by a colon (:) then the path names; for example: C:\temp\today\backup. The syntax of the relative path must start with the path name; for example: \temp\backup.

The WaveStar^® CIT directory automatically enters the relative path for the WaveStar^® CIT. The default relative path is

C:/Program Files/Alcatel-Lucent/WaveStar CIT/

If you had an older WaveStar^® CIT installed prior to installing the current WaveStar^® CIT, your path could start with C:\Program Files\Lucent Technologies\.

If you wish to store your data in a subdirectory within the default path, you may enter \backups\<subdirectory>\<filename> if the subdirectory exists before the command is sent. Directories will not be created by this command, and therefore the command will be denied if any directory in the path does not already exist.

Click OK.

You will be asked to verify that you wish to backup to the directory that you entered above. Click Yes if you typed the path correctly.

Result:

The Progress Indicator screen appears to indicate that the backup is in progress. When the backup completes, a WaveStar^® CIT information screen appears that indicates Remote Backup successful. Click the OK button.

The backup file is now stored. If the default path and a subdirectory were used, the file may be found at:

C:/Program Files/Alcatel-Lucent/WaveStar CIT/backups/<subdirectory>/<filename>

If you had an older WaveStar^® CIT installed prior to installing the current WaveStar^® CIT, your path could start with C:\Program Files\Lucent Technologies\.

Close your WaveStar^® CIT session with the NE. From the System View, select File → NE Disconnect and click Yes in the confirmation window.

The System View closes.

Disconnect the LAN and/or serial cables from the LAN and/or RS232 port(s) on the front of the LNW2 SYSCTL.

Initiate a ten-second countdown (9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0) in the IND display on the LNW2 SYSCTL by simultaneously depressing the ACO TEST and SEL buttons on the front of the LNW2 SYSCTL.

Important!

Removing the LNW2 without initiating the ten-second countdown may result in unexpected and undesirable protection switches, incorrect circuit fault indications, or incoming signal failure alarms. All SYSCTL functions are suspended during the countdown.

Remove the SYSCTL circuit pack during the 10-second countdown.

Important!

While the SYSCTL circuit pack is removed, do NOT remove or replace any transmission circuit packs.

Important!

For installation, two NVMs must be present in the LNW2 SYSCTL. If either NVM is missing, an NVM removed alarm will be issued. If both NVM holders are empty, after the circuit pack is installed the IND displays an alternating E and 0 and 1. Refer to Step 12 for the complete listing of codes.

Seat the new LNW2 SYSCTL circuit pack and allow a few minutes for the pack to complete initialization.

1. For approximately 20 minutes, the alternating M and P and X (X represents 4, 5, 8, or 9, depending on your Maintenance Mode) and “.” (“.” is a red, four-segment square [2 x 2] representing a period) and Y (Y represents 0 or 1, depending on your Maintenance Mode) continue to appear in the IND display on the SYSCTL.

2. After approximately 12 minutes, all LEDs extinguish and the IND display on the SYSCTL is blank for approximately 5 seconds.

3. A flashing b appears in the IND display on the SYSCTL, indicating that a boot is in progress. The b continues flashing for approximately 60 seconds and then IND display is blank for approximately 20 seconds.

4. The ACTIVE LED lights and remains lighted.

5. A flashing b appears again in the IND display on the SYSCTL, indicating that a boot is in progress. The b continues flashing for approximately 2.5 minutes while the database is being converted and then IND display is blank.

6. When nothing appears in the IND display and the ACTIVE LED is lighted and the other LEDs return to their previous state (pre-backup), the NE software and database installation is complete.

   However, smart circuit packs may be upgrading their firmware. If flashing green ACTIVE LEDs are present on a circuit pack, firmware is currently being downloaded to that pack. Wait until all smart circuit packs finish upgrading their firmware before proceeding.

   If an alarm condition existed before the upgrade, the NE rediscovers the alarm condition and activates the appropriate LEDs on the shelf.

7. Continue with Step 38.

To verify that the upgrade was successful, depress and hold the ACO TEST push-button on the LNW2 SYSCTL for about 4 seconds.

Result:

All LEDs on the shelf light. A red, 35-segment (5 x 7) rectangle appears in the IND display on the SYSCTL. Since the IND display is a 35-segment display, this test indicates all segments are working.

Proceed to Procedure 12-8.4: Verify proper software generic.
