DRM Network Element Software Download Procedure

Purpose
The DRM Network Element Software Download Procedure is used to download a new
version of software to a Cajun P333T switch or DynaStar 500 router configured in a
DRM network.
When To Use
This procedure is performed when Lucent Technologies, Inc. has issued an
Informational Software Update advertising an update to the Cajun switch or
DynaStar router software. When an update is advertised, a Cajun switch or DynaStar
router software download package will be available on the Lucent Electronic Delivery
(LED) system.
A PDF file describing the Lucent Electronic Delivery directory structure at a high
generic release level is published to the Customer Support/Download Section of
www.lucent.com. This file entitled Dir_Structure.pdf provides navigational direction to
upload/download software to/from the Lucent Electronic Delivery network.
The naming conventions for DRM software delivery products on Lucent Electronic
Delivery are in the following format: DRMyy-xxxx.zip.
yy = a two-digit year
Where:
xxxx = a four-digit sequence number
zip = a zip(compressed) file
When a DynaStar router software package is available, the software will need to be
downloaded to all the routers in the DRM network. The DynaStar Router Software
Download Procedure contained within the software package must be executed in its
entirety for each router in the network.
Before You Begin
An understanding of the DRM network using the Lucent Technologies Network
Component Solution (LNCS) is required. See, Section 2.7, The DRM Network for more
information.
Caution: Executing the Cajun switch or DynaStar router software download
procedure will result in loss of communication between the ASM (host) and
one or more DRMs (remote) as follows:
•
After software is downloaded to the Cajun switch, a reset is performed to restart
the switch to run the new software. During the reset, communication is lost
between the ASM and all DRMs for approximately 1 minute.
•
After software is downloaded to a host DynaStar router, a reset is performed to
restart the router to run the new software. During the reset, communication is
lost between the ASM and up to 5 DRMs accessed by the host router for
approximately 5 minutes. The following table shows the host router to DRM
mapping:
