I01A1800 through I14A1800


Loads Affected:
---------------
TDM:  ANTDM18BL


Installation Instructions:
--------------------------
NOTE:  Application of this patch will take at least one hour.  Application 
of this patch to spans of control that have more than 5 NEs that have UE9000 
shelves may take several hours.  Do NOT exit ISD or abort the process.  
Additionally for large spans of control, the patch application may fail.  

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 has 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.  NOTE:  Trial apply does not change the
	catalogue file in the OPC.  If you wish to trial apply, you must first perform the
	following steps at the NE that is being trial applied:
		>quit all
		>ueupgci
		>autoupgs off

	Executing these commands turns the auto upgrade for the TDMs to off.  Performing a 	
	restart will turn the auto upgrade back on.  A TDM firmware mismatch alarm will 	
	occur.

     

  4) Type y to verify your selection.

  5) When the application is complete, press any key to scroll through
     the summary screen 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).

NOTE:  If the patch FAILS (status with the Incremental Software Delivery tool), 
       execute the following commands at the NE for which the patch fail state appears:

>quit all
>ueupgci
>getcatalogue REL_1800
>upgradetdm

The TDM upgrade will take approximately 45 minutes.  If the communication between the OPC 
and the NE is an OMC link, the TDM download may take more than one hour.  Up to four NEs 
can be upgraded manually simultaneously.
