Configure the software environment and load, and commit the software
Purpose
The NE is shipped with software pre-loaded. However, the software version that is pre-loaded on the
cards may not be the same as the software version that will be run in the network. You must
therefore perform the following tasks to load and commit the correct software load on the NE.
Note: If this is a multi-shelf system, the software will automatically load onto the subtending
shelves as well as the master shelf.
FTP server preparation
1 Start the FTP server application on your PC and create a user account. Record the user id and
password established for the account.
2 Establish a root directory for the server and make sure it has read and write privileges. You may
create a folder in the root directory that will contain the NE software. Important! There can be no
spaces in the folder names in the path to the software.
3 Copy the folder and subfolders with the NE software into the FTP root directory established above.
Note: The software folder name to be copied is either 1830PSS-14.0-0 ECX.
The software folder should be copied to the FTP server in its entirety.

WebUI procedure
WebUI FTP server settings
1 Enter NE IP address obtained earlier in “PC preparation” for the Server IP Address.
2 Enter the path to the NE software relative to the server root directory in the "Root Directory" field.
Note: If the software folder was copied directly into the root directory, enter / in this field.
3 Enter the UserID and password to match the account created on the FTP server.
4 Click the "Apply" button.
Note: The "Password" fields will be blanked out after you click "Apply". There is no need to reenter

7 Select "Audit" from the "Action Type" drop-down list.
8 Enter the folder name containing the NE software in the "Release Directory" field. The folder name
for Release 14.0 should be 1830PSSECX-14.0-0. Note: This field can only be edited after Audit has
been selected for the "Action Type".
9 Click "Apply" and the "Status" field will change to "In Progress".
10 Periodically click the "Refresh" button until the "Status" field changes to "Completed". Verify the

Progress". The NE will then reboot, and the WebUI will automatically logout.
14 Wait about 2 minutes after the fan speed drops back down to normal speed and log back into the
NE (typically 10 minutes after activate).
15 Select "Commit" for the "Action Type" and click "Apply". The "Status" field will change to "In
Progress".
16 Periodically click the "Refresh" button until the "Status" field changes to "Completed". Verify the

18 Continue to “Set the NE to operate in SDH mode”
Set the NE to operate in SDH mode
The NE defaults to SONET mode. You need to perform this procedure only if you want the NE to
operate in SDH mode.
NOTICE
This procedure should only be executed when a system is first turned up.
Procedure
This procedure can only be completed through the CLI.
Connect to the NE for CLI access
You can connect directly to the network element to access the CLI. No client software is needed on
your PC for either application, only a telnet application. Note: Most procedures in this chapter can be
completed using either the WebUI or CLI. A procedure for each available interface is provided in each
section of the chapter. Some procedures can only be completed using CLI.
Procedure
You can connect a computer (typically a laptop) directly to a network element to access the CLI using
the CIT port on the faceplate of the active Equipment Controller (EC) card on the Alcatel-Lucent 1830
PSS-32/Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS-16 shelf. On multi-shelf Alcatel-Lucent 1830 PSS-32/Alcatel-Lucent
1830 PSS-16 network elements, the CIT port is active on the master shelf only. Note this is the same
connection used for the WebUI.
1 If not already connected, connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the CIT port on the active EC
card (indicated by a green Active LED) on the master shelf. Connect the other end of the cable to the
Ethernet port on your PC.
2 Use a telnet application on your PC and open a telnet session connected to the IP address of the
CIT port. • The default address for an uncommissioned NE is [Link]
3 Hit and the login: prompt will appear. Type cli and <enter>.
4 Type cli at the Password: prompt and <enter>
5 This starts the CLI, and another Username: prompt will appear. Type admin and <enter>.
6 At the Password: prompt, type admin and <enter> . This will bring up the following warning notice.
7 Type Y and <enter> .
Procedure
1 Type show version and <enter>.
Sample output:
Software Version: 1830PSSECX-22.12-0
2 Copy the string after "Software Version:". This will be used as the password for the SDH mode
command.
3 Type config admin mode sdh 1830PSSECX-22.12-0 and <enter>
4 The following warning will appear.
WARNING: Changing the SONET/SDH mode will cause the database to be cleared, the node to be
cold reset and all services to be deleted.
Enter 'yes' to confirm, 'no' to cancel:
5 Type yes and <enter> .
6 You will be logged out.
Wait approximately 5 minutes for the NE to reboot, then log in using WebUI
7 Go toAdministration -> Software -> Upgrade.
8 Select Action: Commit and click Apply.
9 Verify the result is successful and the software is committed. This procedure is complete.
END OF STEPS
Set the loopback IP address
Purpose
Each NE requires a loopback address for IP connectivity. The default loopback IP address for a new
NE is [Link]/32. A warning message will appear on the system properties screen until the
loopback address is changed.
Important! Each node requires a unique loopback address. Therefore the address must be changed
from the default.
Important! The loopback address subnet mask must be set to 255 255 255 255.
WebUI procedure
1 Select "System" from the tree and the "Details" tab.
2 At the "Loopback IP Address" field, enter the IP address designated in the site documentation.
3 At the "Loopback Subnet Mask" field, enter the subnet mask designated in the site documentation.
4 Click the "Submit" button.
5 A warning message will appear as shown below.
WebUI loopback change warning
6 Click "OK." The system will reboot, and WebUI will automatically logout.
7 Wait for the system to reboot (watch for the CIT link light to turn green) and log back into the
WebUI.
