supported in multi-vendor subnetworks, but only between DDM-2000 Multiplexers.
The remote software download and copy capabilities enable the network service
providers to avoid costly craft dispatches for software upgrade.
DDM-2000 FiberReach can also accept software downloads from Lucent’s ITM
SNC 5.0 when upgrading from DDM-2000 FiberReach R3.0 or later to subsequent
releases.
Data Base Backup and Restoral
8
The DDM-2000 FiberReach data bases can be backed up and restored from a file
using CPro-2000 to protect valuable system information after a catastrophic
failure. Catastrophic failures may include:
■
Shelf destruction by fire, hurricane, flood, or other natural event or
intentional damage
■
Cabinet housing the shelf damaged by a vehicle
■
Manual errors during provisioning or maintenance.
The backup can be done using CPro-2000 through the CIT port on any shelf in the
subnetwork to all DDM-2000 FiberReach shelves in the same subnetwork or from
the host. The information that can be backed up and restored includes:
■
Major NE provisionable parameters on the circuit packs and line ports
■
Cross-connections
■
Performance monitoring (PM) threshold parameters.
In addition, the following information is backed up for reference only, and will not
be restored by CPro-2000:
■
Target identifier (TID)
■
Software version
■
System equipage
■
Software readable hardware switch settings
■
User names.
These parameters are either not settable or should be set manually before or after
restoration by CPro-2000.
The data base backup and restoral capability of CPro-2000 can be used to
significantly simplify the installation of several shelves having similar or identical
configurations. See 365-576-130,
CPro-2000 User Manual
for more information.
