36CHAPTER 4: INSTALLING AND CONNECTING COREBUILDER MODULES
General Description of the Procedure
The following is a general description of the procedure for orientation purposes only. When you perform the procedure, use the detailed steps in the following sections.
1Install both switches in chassis and run CFGFRMAT.BAT on each one. Connect Ethernet ports of each switch module and install at least one interface card in the chassis.
2Configure the first switch using the Integrated Fast Setup of the LMA and do not reboot the switch in the Integrated Fast Setup.
3Reboot the switch after one minute using the LMA menu.
4Answer “no” to the prompt “Erase the setup parameters?” and use the LMA to check that all configuration parameters (i.e., database, IP, NNI etc.) have passed successfully to the second switch module.
5Configure LANE redundancy in the first switch using the Transcend Backbone and Services Setup window and close the window when finished.
6Reboot the switch after one minute
7Configure LANE redundancy in the second switch module using the Transcend Backbone and Services Setup window and close the window when finished.
8After one minute use the MIB browser to check the LECS order list and the Backbone and Services Setup window to check the LECS database.
9Reboot the box.
10Check the second switch using the MIB browser to check the LECS order list and the Backbone and Services Setup window to check the LECS database.
Preparatory Steps
Carry out the following preparatory steps.
1Install main and redundant switch modules in the switch module slot 1 and slot 2 respectively (see“Installing a Switch Module” on page 32). Do not run the Integrated Fast Setup yet.
Each time the switch is rebooted during this procedure the cards change roles. The main card becomes the redundant card and vice versa. The main card can always be identified by its ACT LED flashing once every two seconds. The ACT LED of the redundant card flashes at a lower rate.
