Replacing an Equipment Controller in a Nonredundant Shelf
You can operate an NE with a either nonredundant (simplex) or redundant (duplex)
Equipment Controllers per shelf. It is recommended, however, that you operate all shelves
with redundant Equipment Controllers.
Removal of the Equipment Controller does not affect service, but does affect EMS
connectivity, NE communications, and alarm notification.
The procedure for replacing a faulty Equipment Controller in a nonredundant
configuration has two cases:
• Subtending shelves: Disconnect cables from the EC, then extract and replace the
Equipment Controller in the subtending shelf. This causes the Equipment Controller
to automatically load the correct software. This step requires no commands, but works
only on subtending shelves, and only if the main shelf is running the correct
committed software version.
• Main shelf: For replacement of the EC on a simplex controller Main shelf, see “To
replace
a Simplex Equipment Controller Using the WebUI” (p. 3-42) and “To Replace
a
Simplex Equipment Controller Using CLI” (p. 3-46).
Y
ou can also transfer a valid database onto a new Equipment Controller by restoring the
database.
To perform this procedure using the WebUI, go to “To replace a Simplex Equipment
Controller
Using the WebUI” (p. 3-42).
T
o perform this procedure using the CLI, go to “To Replace a Simplex Equipment
Controller
Using CLI” (p. 3-46).
