Cisco Cisco ONS 15600 SDH Multiservice Provisioning Platform (MSPP) Installation Guide

Close the ejectors.

Wait for the CXC card to boot. (Wait for the service state to return to normal and alarms to clear.) This 
takes approximately one minute. 

The MEA (card mismatch) alarm is displayed because CTC recognizes a mismatch between XC 
card types. Disregard this alarm; it clears by the end of the procedure.

On the Maintenance tab, click the Preferred Copy button.

Select the CXC card that you just installed as the new Preferred data copy and verify that all traffic uses 
that CXC copy.

A 2-ms traffic interruption occurs as traffic transfers to the CXC card.

Repeat Steps 

 to 

 for the remaining SSXC card and replacement CXC card.

Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

This procedure assumes you are upgrading using Release 6.x TL1 syntax. TL1 commands issued prior 
to software activation to Software 8.0 will vary in syntax depending on the release you are actually 
upgrading from. To ensure that your syntax for each command is correct, use the TL1 syntax supplied 
in the Cisco ONS SONET TL1 Command Guide for your particular release when issuing the following 
commands:

ACT-USER

APPLY

CANC

COPY-RFILE

REPT EVT FXFR

OPR-PROTNSW-<OCN_TYPE>

RTRV-COND-ALL

RTRV-ALM-ALL

This procedure upgrades the software to Software 8.0 using TL1, rather 
than CTC.

PC or UNIX workstation

Optional

Onsite or remote (but in the presence of the workstation)

Superuser
