5. INSTALLATION OF R10C00 PACKAGE 5.1 Procedure Note1: Upgrade from R1x or R2x Do not upgrade from Release1 or Release2 on a running system. Upgrade from Release3 and later is OK. The SW package prior to Release3 contained a different licensing scheme. Upgrading from Release1 or Release2 package to any later release versions will cause traffic down. New licenses have to be installed in order for the system to come up and operate normally again. Installing the licenses when traffic is down, must be done by local or external (not across the link) management connection.

Note2: Traffic interruptions Updating to R10C00 from other SW revisions cause traffic interruption. The following functionality is affected: All Evolution Systems.

Evolution Metro Release Notes

Release R10C00

Download Procedure: Use Web GUI or Netmaster to download the software package to the element. You need Admin privileges to be able to download the new package. For Web GUI; Select Configuration  Software and the SW Download tab. Select the “SW-EVOLUTION-RELEASE-APP-R10C00_1.tar” file and press Download button. The package contains five .tar files and the GUI will prompt for new files as needed.

Figure 1: Downloading tar file Depending on what versions is on the active and inactive, the software installer will minimize the need for transfer between web client and element. If the software is not complete after first tar, you have to choose the second tar file. If the package becomes complete on the element, you are allowed to switch the software. Use the SU SW Versions tab and click on Switch Software tab. The SU will restart, so the connection to the WEB server is lost. You should be able to log in again after a short while.

Please note that with SW version R4Bxx or later information about the current SU is stored in the IFU Basic Frame. As a result the SU has to be activated after the first restart running R4Bxx or later. Press the Set Current SU active button displayed in figure 2. Also, the cache must be cleared after SW upgrade. If the cache is not cleared, the web pages may not show correct information. Please refer to handbook for a description of how to clear the cache in different browsers.

6. KNOWN PROBLEMS 6.1 OSPF Router OSPF Routing may be inconsistent when CityLink, InterLink and CompactLink equipment is used in the same OSPF system as Evolution Series terminals. Workaround: Do not configure the InterLink or CityLink to be a designated router. Use static routes between the Evolution Series terminal and InterLink or CityLink terminals.

6.2 XPAND Upgrade from R4A00 Unused XPAND PDH channels in R4A (or earlier revisions) results in enabling of unused ports and thus AIS and LOS alarms after SW upgrade.

6.3 Memory Limitations Supervisory Unit FKCN5551A-T and FKCN5551B-T In FKCN5551A-T and FKCN5551B-T there is a memory limitation so that maximum system configuration is within 2 IFUs. In large configurations within 2 IFUs using 2 FNZ5695A-T/ FNZ5695B-T, the user may experience a problem when trying to configure several auxiliary boards. Workaround: Use Supervisory Unit FKCN5551C-T or FKCN5551D-T in systems with large configurations.

6.4 Ethernet Configuration Mismatch Gigabit Interface Unit FNZ5695A-T This problem is related to the Gigabit Interface Unit FNZ5695A-T Internal lock-up in the equipment may occur if equipment Ethernet Port with Auto Speed is connected to an external Ethernet port with fixed speed/duplex 100M Full or 10M Full. Management and User Ethernet traffic will be lost. Affected unit; Gigabit Interface Unit needs power up restart to recover. Workaround: Use the same setting both for the Evolution Series terminal and the equipment connected to it. Use either Auto on both sides, or the same fixed setting on both sides. Page 39 of 41

Evolution Metro Release Notes

Release R10C00

6.5 Software downgrade to R6B02 or earlier revisions – Gigabit Interface Unit This problem is related to the Gigabit Interface Units FNZ5695A-T and FNZ5695B-T. Inconsistent behaviour can occur when downgrading to R6B02 or earlier revisions with two Gigabit LAN Ports (LAN Port 4 and LAN Port 5) enabled. Workaround: Disable one Gigabit LAN Port (LAN Port 4 or LAN Port 5) before downgrading.

6.6 Software downgrade to revisions earlier than R7A00 Please note that if the system is configured with R7A00 or later revision, and then an earlier SW revision is installed, the system configured with R7A00 or later revision will be lost. This will happen even if the configuration is supported in this earlier SW revision. When switching back to R7A00 the configuration will be restored again.

6.7 Access rights on DXC unit and DXC Frame Signal label information and SNCP status information is available for user with access rights MASTER and ADMIN. Not presented to users with PASSIVE or ACTIVE access rights.

6.8 Upgrading to N+1 systems from earlier releases than R8A00 The RPS-ORDERWIRE alarm may appear after an upgrade to R8A or later. Workaround: Run through the housekeeping wizard and the system will be reinitialised so that this alarm disappears and the orderwire channel is operational.

6.9 Memory Limitations DXC Frame Supervisory Units FKCN5551A-T and FKCN5551B-T do not support DXC Frame due to a memory limitation on these units for SW version R8A or later.

6.10 DXC Frame SETS status and alarm reporting. Incorrect alarm reporting from the SETS function on the DXC Frame may occur. The event log may contain an event sequence with SETS_SYNCHRONISATION_PRIORITY1 cleared /raised, typically for one Page 40 of 41

second. The SETS functionality itself is not affected, only the alarm status reporting.

6.11 Upgrade of Supervisory Unit from FKCN5551A/B/C-T to FKCN5551D-T. After configuration download to FKCN5551D-T with configuration uploaded from FKCN5551A/B/C-T, the user must reconfigure the Ethernet functionality on the supervisory unit.

6.12 Housekeeping wizard – Indoor Radio Placement page A minor fault on the indoor radio placement page has been detected. Moving radios on the GUI should be avoided. A bugfix release is in process.
