Software Downloads and Upgrades
8
Software is downloaded into the narrowband shelf DSXBIU from the
SLC
-2000
Host via the ESF datalink of the DS1 signals that carry the narrowband services.
Upgrades to the software are distributed on
MS-DOS
formatted diskettes that
contain the new software and an installation program for installing the software.
These software upgrades are the mechanism to upgrade from one system
software release to the next. All software upgrades maintain the provisionable
parameters of the previous software generic. (For example, cross-connections are
left unchanged by the software upgrade.)
The
ins-prog
command supports software installation from a personal
computer and the
cpy-prog
command supports software installation from one
FiberReach shelf to another FiberReach shelf.
Software can be downloaded locally or remotely from an
MS-DOS
PC using the
CIT port on a
SLC
-2000 Access System or DDM-2000 Multiplexer. The software
is first loaded into the
SLC
-2000 host which, in turn, downloads to the narrowband
DSXBIU circuit pack. After the DSXBIU software is installed, the DSXBIU resets
and all MSDT calls are dropped.
Security
8
The narrowband shelf OAM&P functions are provided by the
SLC
-2000 host,
which are supported through several interfaces including the user interface panel,
the CIT, and the TL1 interface to operations systems. In addition to these
interfaces, remote access is available via the SONET DCC to provide control to
the DDM-2000 OC-3 Multiplexer network, and an embedded operations channel
(EOC) interface is available to provide control to the local digital switch for TR303
functions.
The
SLC
-2000 Access System offers security against unauthorized access via its
CIT port or through a remote operations port. The use of security is provisionable
via the front CIT port, the rear CIT (modem) port, and through the SONET DCC.
Three user levels are supported:
â–
Privileged Users: These users have full read/write access to all information
on the system, including passwords.
