Chapter 3. Installation and Configuration Process
Vol. IV-3-2 Alcatel-Lucent
Essential Information
Configuration Rollback
CT includes configuration Backup and Restore functions.
• File > Backup saves a current Node/Terminal configuration (as set by the most
recent Send action) to a user-selectable folder on your PC.
• File > Restore prompts for selection of the saved configuration from your PC,
and its loading back into a Node/Terminal.
System Software Rollback
CT includes a rollback for operating system software. Refer to Software
Management, Chapter 13.
Incorrect Configuration
An incorrect configuration is displayed as a Configuration Not Supported or
Configuration Corrupt in the Event Browser and Alarms screens.
Disconnecting or Reconnecting an ODU Cable
• Never disconnect or reconnect an ODU cable to a RAC or IDU without first
turning the power off, or for an INU/INUe withdrawing the RAC from its
backplane. This is necessary to:
• Avoid arcing damage to mating surfaces on the ODU connector.
• Avoid the potential for momentary errors on other traffic passing through a
Node as a consequence of the disconnection/connection power spike.
Transmit Mute Option Settings
Unless a specific configuration setup is requested by the customer, 9500 MXC
Nodes and Terminals will be set to a factory default, which will have the
Transmit Mute option set, meaning the ODU transmitter will be off when
powered up for the first time. Its purpose is to ensure that prior to the
configuration check and any required reconfiguration, there is no potential for
interference to operational links in the event transmit frequency and/or power are
set incorrectly for the site. Refer to Link Configuration on page 7-3.
If in doubt, check the RAC configuration as a priority on initial power on.
Configuration Updates
Any configuration update made on one screen provides real-time updates to
related screens, and all updated screens will be confirmed (saved) on clicking the
Send button.
Viewed Data
All data viewed in 9500 MXC CT screens is read from the CompactFlash card,
except that which has changed since the last save action (Send button clicked).
