Step 10 Return to your originating procedure (NTP).

DLP-E144 Use the Reinitialization Tool to Clear the Database and Upload Software (Windows)

Purpose

This task reinitializes the ONS 15600 using the CTC reinitialization (reinit)

 

tool on a Windows computer. Reinitialization uploads a new software

 

package to the TSC cards, clears the node database, and restores the factory

 

default parameters.

Tools/Equipment

ONS 15600 SONET System Software CD, Version8.0.x

 

JRE 5.0 must be installed on the computer to log into the node at the

 

completion of the reinitialization. The reinitialization tool can run on

 

JRE 1.3.1_02, JRE 1.4.2, or JRE 5.0.

Prerequisite procedures

Note Restoring a node to the factory configuration deletes all cross-connects on the node.

Step 1 Insert the ONS 15600 SONET System Software CD, Version 8.0.x, into the computer CD-ROM drive. If the CTC Installation Wizard appears, click Cancel.

Step 2 From the Windows Start menu, choose Run. In the Run dialog box, click Browse and navigate to the CISCO15600 folder on the software CD.

Step 3 In the Browse dialog box Files of Type field, choose All Files.

Step 4 Choose the RE-INIT.jar file and click Open. The NE Reinitialization window appears. Step 5 Complete the following fields:

GNE IP—If the node you are reinitializing is accessed through another node configured as a gateway network element (GNE), enter the GNE IP address. If you have a direct connection to the node, leave this field blank.

Node IP—Enter the node name or IP address of the node that you are reinitializing.

User ID—Enter the user ID needed to access the node.

Password—Enter the password for the user ID.

Upload Package—Check this box to send the software package file to the node. If unchecked, the software stored on the node is not modified.

Force Upload—Check this box to send the software package file to the node even if the node is running the same software version. If unchecked, reinitialization will not send the software package if the node is already running the same version.
