System Configuration / Shelf Type Requirements:
-----------------------------------------------
This increment is applicable to all Access Node configurations
and shelf types.

Increments Needed:
------------------
I01A1800

Loads Affected:
---------------
APU: ACCL18BC, ATBL18BC

Installation Instructions:
--------------------------
Download increment from the Web:
Either a) download the increment directly to the /iswd directory on the OPC.
       b) download the increment to tape and insert into the OPC tape drive.
Start up Incremental SW Del. from the Software Admin toolset on the OPC.

Deliver the increment:
  1) Select Deliver an Increment.

  2) Type y to verify your selection.

Verify the increment:
  1) From the ISD main menu, select Display Increments.

  2) Select Display to Screen.

  3) Verify the increment delivered have the correct Title
     and Description.  Also verify that their status is
     "READY TO APPLY".

     NOTE: If the increment is a Linecard only increment, the
     status will be "LOAD DELIVERED". 

  4) Press any key to return to the main menu.

Apply the increment:
  1) From the ISD main menu, select Apply an Increment.

  2) In the list, select the number next to the increment you delivered.

  3) Select one of these options:
     1) Apply to ALL NEs (to set the increment fully into the system)
     2) Trial on one NE (to test the increment to ensure that it causes
        no problems)

     If you select option 2, a list of NEs in the span of control appears.
     From the list of NEs, select the number next to the one you want to
     test.  A confirmation screen appears.

  4) Type y to verify your selection.

  5) When the application is complete, press any key to scroll through
     the Summary screesn until you return to the main menu.
 
  6) From the main menu, select Display Increments.

  7) Select Display to Screen.

  8) Verify that the status next to each NE now reads "APPLIED"
     (or "TRIAL APPLIED" if you chose to run a test in step 3 above).

IF THE INCREMENT INVOLVES THE APU YOU MUST DO THE FOLLOWING STEP
Dump the image:
  1) From the ISD main menu, select Dump an APU Image.

  2) Select one of the valid load types that can be dumped.

  3) Select one of the valid NEs matching your previous parameters.

  4) Type y to verify your selection.

  5) When the image is complete, press any key to return to the main menu.


Test Instructions:
------------------
1. Test SR.10335195:
  If the NE has UE shelves, then from NEUI:
  If TDM A is active and do following:
  >eq aic a          
  >chgstate oos
  The user should see a message from the NEUI screen stating:
  "WARNING: Putting a AIC out-of-service will cause a TDM swact
            on all UE shelves if the AIC and Active TDM are on
            the same plane.  No new calls can be made during
            TDM warm swact (approx. 30 sec)."

  If TDM B is active and do following:
  >eq aic b          
  >chgstate oos
  The user should see the same message. 

2. Test SR.50324441:
  If the NE has UE shelves and with some SDSL16 MLC cards
  equipped in the shelves.  For example, if Shelf 2, MLC 1
  is a SDSL card and line one is provisioned for Data
  service, then from NEUI, enter:

  >fa uelc 2 1 1
  >resetlc

  The user should see the following message:

  " RESETLC can not be performed on this UELC because 
    it is on an SDSL16 Card." 

  >chgstate oos
  >diagnose

  The user should see the following message:

  " DIAGNOSE can not be performed on this UELC because 
    it is on an SDSL16 Card."

3. Test SR.50322470:
   If the NE has UE shelves and with some ISDN-U line provisioned
   on SAA-12 card. You can substitute the SAA-12 card to create
   line provision mismatch alarm.  When you see Line Card Mismatch
   alarm on the screen.  For example, UELC 2 1 1 has a line mismatch
   then you do the following:
   >fa uelc 2 1 1
   >chgstate oos

   The user should see the alarm for that line will disappear.  

   >chgstate is

   The user should see the alarm for that line will re-appear.

4. Test SR.10329659, 50324444, 50323729, 50323725, 10304876:
   The test should be on HDT with VM. Test Procedure: 
    - Take a VM with no SP from a sytem under an18
    - Insert a SP with the load an17
    - wait until the auto upgrade
    - If the SP has correct load, it will not reload.
      IF the SP does not have correct load, it will upgrade it to the
      correct load.
 
5. Test SR.XT01057:
   The test should be on HDT with VM.  
    - Verify that all VLCM lines passed without recurrence of test 
     time out issue.

6. Test SR.10313099:
   This update was tested on the following systems:
   OC12 SRP P2P
    - 1. Power down RFT
    - - Power up RFT
    - - Wait until 1 processory loaded, databases ready,
    -   and association up
    - - Depending of the callp load, the TAC loading should
    -   take between 7-35 minutes.
    - - TAC loading monitor (MAPCI; FWPUI; eq tac;) should
   -   never display "Loading failed"
