Procedure 6-3: Replace a SYSCTL (VLNC1) circuit pack
....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Overview
Use this procedure to upgrade/replace a SYSCTL (VLNC1) circuit
pack in an in-service shelf.
Required equipment
The following equipment is required:
•
At least one of the following cables:
–
RS-232 cable with an RJ-45 connector on one end and a PC
serial connector on the other (typically DB9) for the
RS232
port
–
CAT5 Ethernet cable with either a 10/100 hub or a
cross-over cable for the
LAN
port
•
Personal computer (PC) with WaveStar
®
CIT software installed
•
Wrist strap
Before you begin
Prior to beginning this procedure:
1.
Refer to
in this chapter.
2.
Refer to
“Electrostatic discharge” (1-13)
in
3.
Ensure that a SYSCTL circuit pack is available for replacement.
4.
Circuit IDs are not restored after replacing a SYSCTL. If you
have provisioned circuit IDs, ensure that you have a recent
backup file available to perform a restore or you will have to
reprovision the circuit IDs manually.
Restoring the network element database may be service-affecting.
If provisioning changes were made after the last backup files
were created, examine the history log and use the appropriate
WaveStar
®
CIT commands to manually apply the recent
provisioning changes to the just-restored database. The history
and security logs will be lost during the replacement process.
Refer to
“Procedure 6-8: Backup and restore NE database via
“Procedure 6-9: Backup and restore NE database
, or
“Procedure 6-10: Backup and restore NE
Precautions
Important! Performing this procedure under the following
scenarios may cause transmission losses and/or require a restore
from a remote backup.
