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

In the pull-down Backup To/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 and you should never need to 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 menu. This will pre-populate 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 NE.

  4. Edit the NSAP Address fields as required. Refer to Procedure 2-13: Backup and restore NE database using FTTD.

  5. Verify that the Selector (Sel:) field is “1d ”.

  6. Click Add and then Save. The TID has been added to the pull-down menu for this CIT and you should never need to re-enter the NSAP address for this gateway NE's TID.

Select the FTP tab.

Select the connection from the Profile pull-down menu and then proceed to Step 7. 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, use your PC's IP address which can be determined 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 name/password may be different.)

If you entered connection information in Step 5 and wish to keep the information for future backups:

1. Enter 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 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 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.

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 name. For example: C:/Program Files/Alcatel-Lucent/WaveStar CIT/backups/<subdirectory>/<filename>. If you had an older version of the WaveStar^® CIT installed prior to installing the current WaveStar^®, your path could start with C:/Program Files/Lucent Technologies/WaveStar CIT/.

• The relative path must start with the path name. For example: /backups/<subdirectory>/<filename>.

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.

If necessary, replace 7.2.2 with your current release, for example 7.2.3.

If the FTP server is not the WaveStar^® CIT, then enter the path starting at the FTP home directory on the server.

Click OK.

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

Result:

The Progress Indicator 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 OK. 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 version of the WaveStar^® CIT installed prior to installing the current WaveStar^®, your path could start with C:/Program Files/Lucent Technologies/WaveStar CIT/.
