Software Increment Release Notes
================================

Increment ID:   I26A1800
Date created:   July 19, 2001


Title: 
------
VLCM Fix Bundle and UE9000 Enhancements


Effect on Traffic:
------------------
This increment has no effect on traffic.


Detailed Description of Increment:  
----------------------------------

1.) Support for UE9000 shelf card types (4+4, 8+8, and 10+10 ADSL/POTS line
    cards) have been added to allow the message waiting option to work properly
    on these ADSL card types.

2.) This increment enhances 2nd VLCM event reporting.  Line Card state
    reporting is now correctly received on the second VLCM.

3.) This increment will allow customers with a DMS10 with two VLCMs to
    provison as a single site (only one RMM, or Remote Maintenance Module).
    Previously, this configuration would not work due to the inability to
    determine which VLCM was carrying the test session.  This patch allows
    the VLCM messages to come from the DMS10 without being rejected,
    regardless of the VLCM configuration.

4.) Hostname retrieval for VLCM lines using TL1 commands will no longer cause 
    a software trap for a NIL host ID.

5.) This increment prevents loss of UE9000 traffic after a TXC or Optic pack
    switch.

System Configuration / Shelf Type Requirements:
-----------------------------------------------
This increment is applicable to all AN18.00 AccessNode configurations,
shelf types, and interfaces.


Prerequisite Increments Required:
---------------------------------
Increments I01A1800 through I25A1800 must be successfully applied prior to 
application of this increment.

Installation Instructions:
--------------------------
Please refer to the Incremental Software Delivery Users Guide for general 
installation instructions.  This document may be obtained from either the 
AccessWeb ISD web site (https://www23.nortelnetworks.com/ACCESS_OPTICAL/esd/),
where the AccessNode increments are located, or you may order it through your 
Nortel Account Manager or Order Manager.  The document number for the 
Incremental Software Delivery Users Guide is P0934362.


Test Instructions:
------------------

For issue #1:
 
 1) Establish a line in the switch with the MWT (message waiting) option.
 
     Example:  ado $ 2290769 mwt cmwi y y act y no n $ yy
               ado $ 2290770 mwt cmwi y y act y no n $ yy
        
 2) Queue a message onto the message waiting queue for the line established
    in step 1 above using the MWQ command.
    
     Example:  mwq queue 2290769 l 2290770
     
 3) Reset the message queue, again using the MWQ command.
      
     Example:  mwq reset 2290769

 4) Verify that no SWER logs have been generated.
 

For issue #2:
 
 1) Gain access to the DMS-10 interface

 2) Make sure a line is provisioned on VLCM 2

 3) Invoke the PED overlay: 'ovly ped imed'

 4) Start a test session on the provisiond line:
    'test lpk neXX lce <bay> <shelf> <lsg> <line>'

 5) Make sure the result is "PASSED"

 
For issue #3:
 
 A new CI command, "SNGLRMM" has been included for those customers who
 are running dual VLCM's with a single RMM.  The parameters for this command
 are "on" and "off", and can be performed at the NEUI or CI level.
 
  Example:

   > snglrmm on   (this command enables support for dual VLCM with a single RMM)
   or:
   > snglrmm off  (this command disables support for dual VLCM with a single
                   RMM.  Note: "off" is the default setting, which minimizes
                   customer impact for those supporting more than one RMM.)

 After applying this patch, take a line off the 2nd VLCM out of service from the
 Network Element's eq lc or eq anxlc screen.  At the DMS-10, check for a PED737
 message, and verify the same line is in a busy status.  From the NE, place
 the line back in service.  A PED738 message should be received by the DMS-10,
 and the line should be in an in service state.


For issue #4 and #5:

 Testing not required.
