Verify that only a factory-fresh VLNC2 SYSCTL is installed in your Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-5 shelf; no other circuit packs should be seated in the shelf.

Important!

A factory-fresh SYSCTL circuit pack does not contain a software generic; it only contains pack information and the boot code that enables a software generic to be downloaded.

Connect the cross-over cable from the PC's Network Interface Card (NIC) to the LAN port on the SYSCTL circuit pack faceplate and establish a WaveStar^® CIT session.

Result:

The Network View appears.

Reference:

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

In the Network View, enter or select the following in the values on the left of the screen.

• NE Name: ALU-TSS-5

• NE Type: 1850 TSS-5

• Connection Type: TCP/IP

Important!

You must have TCP/IP connectivity between your NE and your FTP server, and your NE must have a defined IP address.

Click Graphical.

Result:

The TCP/IP Configure window opens.

Enter the IP of the NE; the default IP address is 169.254.1.1.

Click OK.

Result:

The NE Login Dialog window opens.

Enter the following in the NE Login Dialog window (login information is case sensitive) to log in to the NE.

User ID: ALU01 Password: 1850TSS-5

Click OK.

Important!

ALU01, ALU02, and ALU03 are the default privileged User IDs, and 1850TSS-5 is the default privileged password for Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-5. It is highly recommended that you change all three logins/passwords during your first session to preserve the security of your equipment.

Result:

The following window appears. The boot code of your SYSCTL appears in the title bar after 1850TSS-5 (5.0, 5.1, 6.0, 7.0, 7.1, or 7.2).

Read the material and click Wizard to continue with the Initial Software Download Wizard.

Result:

The following welcome screen (Screen 1 of 4) appears.

On Screen 1, read the material, select FTP and click Next.

Result:

Screen 2 appears.

If the port appears with information already populated, then changing the existing provisioning will cause the system to reset. If the shelf resets, log into the shelf again and continue through the wizard.

You will see the IP Address and IP Subnet Mask field populated with the defaults illustrated in Screen 2.

Important!

If TCP/IP Control 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).

Click Next.

Note:

LAN-1 is the LAN port on the faceplate of the SYSCTL circuit pack.

Result:

Screen 3 appears.

If the WaveStar^® CIT or your PC is your FTP server and you do not know the IP address:

1. Select Run from the Windows Start menu.

2. Type cmd and click OK.

3. Type ipconfig in the resulting command prompt.

4. If there is more than one IP address, determine which connection is used to connect to the NE and record the appropriate IP address.

Follow the directions on Screen 3 to provision the information for your FTP server.

If there is existing FTP profile:

1. Select an existing FTP server from the Profile pull-down menu.

   The IP addresses of your FTP server and the LAN port you provisioned on Screen 2 must be in the same subnet, even if you are using the default IP address (169.254.1.1) and subnet mask (255.255.0.0).

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

2. In the Directory Path panel, enter the current location of the generic to be downloaded in the Path field or use the Browse button (if available) to select the generic.

   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.

3. Click Next.

OR

If you need to enter information for a new profile:

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.)

   The IP addresses of your FTP server and the LAN port you provisioned on Screen 2 must be in the same subnet, even if you are using the default IP address (169.254.1.1) and subnet mask (255.255.0.0).

2. If necessary, enter the name (default is blank) of the FTP Server. Defining the name is not required for the download to execute successfully.

3. 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.

4. 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.)

5. If you entered connection information and wish to keep the information for future downloads:

   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.

6. In the Directory Path panel, enter the current location of the generic to be downloaded in the Path field or use the Browse button (if available) to select the generic.

   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.

7. Click Next.

Result:

Screen 4 appears.

On Screen 4, click Finish.

Result:

A warning message appears that lists the information you provisioned in the previous screens. Verify that the information is correct and click Yes.

The initial software download is a two-part process, totalling approximately 10 minutes. The first part, download of the software (cpy-mem), takes approximately 5 minutes. The second part, the reset of the shelf and the automatic apply/activation of the downloaded software (apply), takes approximately 5 minutes.

While the transfer is in progress, the following Progress Indicator appears.

If you receive an error stating that FTP is not enabled, click OK. Exit the Initial Software download wizard and proceed to Procedure 12-1.5: Log in serially and enable FTP and/or OSI on the LAN port.

Do you wish to observe the FTP download progress?

After the download is complete, a completion message appears. Click OK.

Result:

The second part of the initial software download begins, the reset of the shelf and the apply/activation of the downloaded software (apply).

During the automatic reset and the apply, the SYSCTL circuit pack cycles through a series of changes in the LEDs' state:

• CR/MJ LED extinguishes

• MN/ABN LED and ACO/TST LED simultaneously light for approximately 12 seconds and then extinguish

• MN/ABN LED and ACO/TST LED simultaneously light for approximately 8 seconds and then extinguish

• CR/MJ LED flashes eleven times

• All LEDs remain extinguished; the reset is complete.

Establish a WaveStar^® CIT session and log in to your Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-5 shelf.

Result:

The title bars of the System View and the legal notice should both reflect the current NE software generic, for example R7.2.2.
