Introduction
The following parameters are used for Software Upgrade.
Active store
The software version of the executing code of the software loaded in the network
elements active store is described by four codes.

Item Code A code used to uniquely identify any system
component.
Com Code A code which identifies the component.
Interchangeability Marker An identification mark to indicate interchangeability
among components
Serial Number A number that indicates the sequence number and the
year, date, and location of manufacture.
Backup store
Shows the software load that is now stored in the backup store. The same codes are
used as in the active store.
Active store state
The following table shows the possible values.
Value Description
Active. Memory contains a valid code that is being executed.
Active Not Committed If no association is made between the management system
and the network element after a software switch.
The software that was active before the switch is now in
the backup store. If the association is not made within 2
hours after the switch, the system will switch the stores
back so that the previous active software is made active
again. Therefore it is not wise to download software
while the active store is in this state.
