eTransfer the RS-232 cable to the service port of the redundant switch module.

fRepeat step d)

gTransfer the RS-232 cable to the console port of the main switch module.

Hardware Redundancy Setup

2Set up the main switch module using the Integrated Fast Setup (see “Integrated Fast Setup” on page 56). Do not reboot the switch from the Integrated Fast Setup procedure (answer “no” to the prompt).

The main menu appears.

3Wait for one minute to allow the configuration data to transfer from the main switch module to the redundant switch module.

4Reboot the switch using the LMA menu sequence: (1) SYS / (7) RBO. This causes the configuration data to be recorded in flash memory and also causes the redundant switch module to become the main switch module.

5After the switch reboots, answer “no” to the prompt: “Do you wish to erase the setup parameters”.

6Run the Integrated Fast Setup procedure as in step 2) to verify that the setup parameters have been transferred correctly to the second switch (the Integrated Fast Setup procedure now displays the setup parameters resident in the second switch module). Press Enter repeatedly to verify these parameters; do not enter new values.

7Verify that the ELAN names in the LECS database are identical in both switch modules. Use menu item (2) LEM/(1) LCS/(5) LNT to check that the LECS database of the second switch includes the ELAN name of the first switch. For example, Elan6666_0 - Elan6666_15

NMS-Based LANE Redundancy Setup

8Verify connectivity between the switch module and the NMS station by pinging the switch module from the NMS station.

9Load the Transcend application and open the Wizard Tool from the ATMvLAN tool bar

10Open the Backbone and Services Window.

11Configure the LECS order as desired and press the Apply button.

12Configure the LECS database. Add all the primary and redundant ELAN names desired to the LECS database and press Apply. Make a list of the
