SMS 7000 Release Notes 37

Hardware, Firmware, and Software Installation

Load Node Controller Software

This is to be used when upgrading from all versions.

CAUTION

This applies to systems being updated from versions 3.x, 4.x, or 5.x where

the NBX boot ROM is replaced. In the following step, replacement of NBX

boot ROM will cause the Node Controllers to lose their names. Note the cur-

rent names so you can later restore them using the GUI Active Node Con-

troller Rename command.

1. Program Series 7000 Node Controllers with the 6.41 Application.

● Enter the following command at the Series 7000 System Diagnostic

Interface to program the Node Controllers (NC).

SMS7000> inputfrom “prognc.red”

● After programming is complete, cold-start each Node Controller by

removing the module from the frame and re-inserting it. Verify that

version 6.1 NBX ROM (052855-04 or greater) is installed on each

Node Controller module.

● Verify that the Node Controllers are properly named (see Caution

below) and on-line using:

SMS7000> ver nc

CAUTION Redundant Node Controller pairs must be named properly. They must have

identical names with the exception of a single digit sufﬁx. The sufﬁx must

be 1 for the primary Node Controller and 2 for the secondary Node Control-

ler. The total length of the name cannot exceed eight alpha-numeric charac-

ters. For example, the names NC1 and NC2 are valid names for a Node

Controller pair. Another example is NCVID1 and NCVID2.

This is a critical step. Node Controller redundancy will not work unless the

Node Controllers are properly named.

2. To upgrade from version 5.3 or earlier, install a new NBX boot ROM

(052855-04) for each Series 7000 Node Controller:

Remove the Node Controllers from the frame, and replace the NBX

ROMs. Use a marking pen to change the version number on the module

to -06 (062840-06). Replacing the ROM causes the Node Controller to

loose the current crosspoint status.

Replace the Node Controllers in the frame, and re-program the Node

Controllers. Doing so takes them off-line, so no changes occur during

the programming and the MCPU restores the Node Controllers cross-

point status after programming them.

If the NBX ROM is installed before the MCPU update, the Node Con-

trollers revert to their default name of ELVIS 1 (or 2) and must be re-

named back to the operational name before MCPU control is restored.
