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

Important!

You must login using either OSI or TCP/IP.

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) and FTAM-FTP (FTTD) Gateway Control are ENABLED and click Close.

If required, 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 area 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

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 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 not need to re-enter the information for the gateway NE, unless you replace the SYSCTL circuit pack in the GNE.

  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. Complete the NSAP Address panel with the NSAP of the FTTD gateway recorded in Step 7.

     In most cases, you will 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 39840F80000000000000000000000601D2CBC1800 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 and you should never need to re-enter the NSAP address for this gateway NE's TID, unless you replace the SYSCTL circuit pack in the GNE.

Select the FTP tab.

Select a connection profile from the Profile pull-down menu and then proceed to Step 15. 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 13 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 FTTD?
