  1. Maintenance Basics

  2. Maintenance Basics Software Upgrade General • The NPU holds the following versions • Two versions (Main and Shadow) for itself • Three file versions for the AUs • four file versions for the SUs • Each AU or SU holds within two versions (Main and Shadow) • When an upgrade needs to be performed • First, the file version is transferred to the NPU • Second, the unit (AU or SU) is set to download the version from the NPU • Third, the unit (AU, SU or NPU) is set to reboot and load the shadow version • Fourth, the unit (AU,SU or NPU) is set to mark the running version (shadow) as main version

  3. Maintenance Basics Software Upgrade Downloading The File to The NPU • Verify that IP connectivity is working properly by pinging the NPU (DATA or MGMT port) • In the command prompt enter the following command:ping <NPU IP Address>e.gping 10.10.10.1 • Download the file to the NPU (DATA or MGMT port) • In the command prompt enter the following command:tftp -i <NPU IP Address> PUT <Path><File Name>e.gtftp -i 10.10.10.1 PUT c:\Firmware_Files\AU_1_5_1_33.bz • The transfer operation is completed when the following message appears:"Transfer successful: XXXXXX bytes in YY seconds, ZZZZZZ bytes/s"e.gTransfer successful: 2598936 bytes in 13 seconds, 199918 bytes/s • Verify that the software is successfully identified by the NPU • To check an NPU version • To check an AU version • To check an SU version

  4. Maintenance Basics Software Upgrade Loading The New File • To upgrade an NPU skip to the next step, set the unit (AU or SU) to download a file from the NPU • To set an AU and enter the file name to download • To set an SU and enter the file name to download • Set the unit (NPU, AU or SU) to run from the shadow version • To set an NPU to run from shadow • To set an AU to run from shadow • To set an SU to run from shadow The unit reboots and loads the shadow version • In order to load the new software permanently, the unit (NPU, AU or SU) needs to set the shadow version as main • To set an NPU • To set an AU • To set an SU At the next boot the unit marks the shadow version as main

  5. Maintenance Basics Configuration Backup (NPU) General • The Backup option enables creating a backup file of the entire Base Station/Micro Base station configuration or some of the configuration • The backup file can be one of the following format • Full - the entire NPU/µBST configuration (except to the basic IP parameters of the MGMT and DATA ports) - backup.res • Profiles - all the profiles associated with services (Service Profiles, Forwarding Rules, Priority Classifiers, QoS Profiles) - profiles.res • Profiles and Services - all the profiles and configurations associated with service (General Service parameters, Subscribers, Services, Service Profiles, Forwarding Rules, Priority Classifiers, QoS Profiles) - profiles_srvcs.res • If a backup file already exists in the NPU/µBST, a message appears asking whether to overwrite the existing file • If there was an error in the process of creating the backup file, an error message will be displayed, indicating the reason • Once the backup file has been created, it can be uploaded using a DOS based TFTP Client application to a target directory • The file is encrypted and cannot be editedHowever, it can be downloaded to other NPU(s)/µBSTs using a DOS based TFTP Client application • Note: A µBST cannot be downloaded with NPU backup and vice versa

  6. Maintenance Basics Configuration Backup (NPU) Creating a Backup File • Verify that IP connectivity is working properly by pinging the NPU (DATA or MGMT port) • In the command prompt enter the following command:ping <NPU IP Address>e.gping 10.10.10.1 • Create a backup file • Using the monitoring program • Select the required backup file • Confirm the command • "Creating the Backup…" message appears • The process has completed successfully when the following message appears:"Creating the Backup OK" • Storing the backup file in a local computer • In the command prompt enter the following command:tftp -i <NPU IP Address> GET <File Name> <Path>e.gtftp -i 10.10.10.1 GET backup.res c:\NPU_Backup\ • The transfer operation has completed when the following message appears:"Transfer successful: XXXXXX bytes in YY seconds, ZZZZZZ bytes/s"e.gTransfer successful: 2598936 bytes in 13 seconds, 199918 bytes/s

  7. Maintenance Basics Configuration Backup (NPU) Loading a Backup File To an NPU • Transferring the backup file to an NPU • In the command prompt enter the following command:tftp -i <NPU IP Address> PUT <Path><File Name>e.gtftp -i 10.10.10.1 PUT c:\NPU_Backup\backup.res • The transfer operation has completed when the following message appears:"Transfer successful: XXXXXX bytes in YY seconds, ZZZZZZ bytes/s"e.gTransfer successful: 2598936 bytes in 13 seconds, 199918 bytes/s • For the changes to take effect, reset the NPU • Using the monitoring program

  8. Maintenance Basics Configuration Backup (SU) General • The Backup option enables creating a backup file of the entire SU configuration • The SU downloads/uploads the configuration file to/from a configured TFTP server • Prior performing the backup a message appears asking whether to execute the backup process • The file is encrypted and cannot be editedHowever, it can be downloaded to other SUs using a DOS based TFTP application

  9. Maintenance Basics Configuration Backup (SU) Creating a Backup File • Connect to the SU • In the command prompt enter the following command:Telnet <SU ODU IP Address>e.gtelnet 192.168.254.251 • Create a backup file • Using the monitoring program • Configure the TFTP server IP address • Set a name for the uploaded a configuration file • Verify that the TFTP application is running • Start the upload process • "Are You Sure? <Y/N>" message appears • Confirm the operation

  10. Maintenance Basics Configuration Backup (SU) Loading a Backup File To an SU ODU • Connect to the SU • In the command prompt enter the following command:Telnet <SU ODU IP Address>e.gtelnet 192.168.254.251 • Transferring the backup file to an SU • Using the monitoring program • Configure the TFTP server IP address • Set a name of the downloaded configuration file • Verify that the TFTP application is running • Start the upload process • "Are You Sure? <Y/N>" message appears • Confirm the operation • For the changes to take effect, reset the SU • Using the monitoring program

  11. Maintenance Basics Corrective Maintenance General • The corrective maintenance is performed upon replacing one of the following units: • Any card (PIU, PSU, AU or NPU) from the modular base station • Described in the Installation presentation • AVU • AU ODU • Described in the Installation presentation • Micro Base Station • Described in the Installation presentation • SU IDU • Described in the Installation presentation • SU ODU • Described in the Installation presentation

  12. Maintenance Basics Corrective Maintenance AVU Replacement • To replace the AVU perform the following: • Release the four captive screws at the bottom of the module • Using the module handle, pull the module out from the shelf • Unpack a new AVU module • Using the module handle align, the AVU so it is firmly placed on the shelf rails • Push the AVU module into the shelf • Fasten the four captive screws at the bottom of the module • Verify that after a few seconds the PWR LED changes to green
