Establish a WaveStar^® CIT session (depending on the physical connection used) and log in to the destination shelf (the shelf to which you want to download the software) in your network.

Reference:

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

From the System View menu, select View → Software Generic.

Is the Active Software Version 6.0.x or later?

From the System View menu, select Administration → View NE Administration. Verify that File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is Enabled and click Close.

If required, select Administration → Set NE and enable File Transfer Protocol (FTP). Click OK.

Provision the destination shelf for TCP/IP communications. From the System View menu, select Administration → Data Communications.

Result:

The Data Communications window opens.

From the Data Communications window, click on the TCP/IP tab and provision the following fields accordingly for LAN-1:

• Port AID: select the port that you are using for FTP: LAN-1

• TCP/IP Function: select Enable

• Click Modify to either enter or change the following:

  • IP Address

  • IP Subnet Mask

  • IP Default Router Address (optional). The IP Default Router Address is only required for remote downloads (FTTD [FTAM-FTP gateway]).

Click Apply.

Important!

If TCP/IP Function is enabled, changing an existing IP Address or an existing IP Subnet Mask will cause the shelf to reset, even if the existing values are the default IP address (169.254.1.1) and subnet mask (255.255.0.0).

Result:

A warning message appears.

Click Yes and then click Close on the Data Communications window.

Important!

If automatic synchronization is unsuccessful, the date and time must be reset manually.

Reference:

Procedure 7-8: Set date and time

Specifying either OSI or Serial in the Connection Type: field, log in to the destination shelf again.

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

Result:

The Download Software window opens.

In the pull-down Download From/Via: menu, select FTP. Select a connection profile from the Profile pull-down menu and 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 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 12 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 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 not the local host, the Browse button is greyed out.

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:/Program Files/Alcatel-Lucent/WaveStar CIT/generics/1850TSS-5/7.2.2/p. 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: generics/1850TSS-5/7.2.2/p.

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.

Result:

A warning message appears indicating the transfer you are about to execute. Do you wish to continue? Verify the information and click Yes. While the download is in progress, a Progress Indicator window is present.

The download takes approximately 5 minutes.

The download may be cancelled any time by clicking Cancel on the Progress Indicator window.

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

Is the WaveStar^® CIT your FTP server and 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 1850 TSS-5 shelf?

Do you wish to upgrade additional shelves using FTP?
