To migrate the Wavence UBT-SA connected to a 7705 SAR from standalone mode to single NE mode

Prerequisites

This procedure assumes you have configured a 7705 SAR MW link and link member before starting this procedure; see the “Shelf and card object configuration” chapter of the NSP NFM-P Classic Management User Guide.

Note: If the Wavence SA is discovered as a standalone device on NFM-P, then later changed to single NE mode, you must manually remove the Wavence SA node from the database because it shows as unreachable on NFM-P.

For information about the 7705 SAR and Wavence SA, see the Wavence Release 5.0 or later; and 7705 SAR 6.0 R1 hardware guides.

The following requirements must be met before you change the Wavence SA from standalone mode to single NE mode:

  • Ensure that the 7705 SAR is upgraded to Release 6.0 R1 and the Wavence SA is upgraded to Release 5.0 or later.

  • Ensure that the MPT software packages are in the cf3:/images/<Timos.xx.xx> directory on the 7705 SAR NE.

  • Ensure that the MWA converted database (*.tar) file is in the cf3:<config file path> on the 7705 SAR NE.

  • Ensure that the MPT state is operationally up when it is in standalone mode, by connecting it to the 7705 SAR.

Steps
 
1 

On the equipment tree, right-click on a 7705 SAR port that you associated with the MW link and choose Properties. The MW Link Member (Edit) form opens.

2 

Configure the parameters as required.

Note: For migration, restart the MPT using the MCT and deselect the Standalone check box within 30 to 60 s of the Radio restart or the MPT may not function as expected. If the restart fails to change the MPT to single NE mode, the MPT must be physically restarted.

You can use the MCT only if the Wavence SA is in standalone mode and managed by NFM-P. If the Wavence SA is connected to the 7705 SAR in standalone mode, but not managed by NFM-P, you must use the NEtO/MCT.

3 

Click on the Radio tab and configure the parameter as required.

4 

Save your changes and close the form.
