10.2.2.7. Loading new Loadware on a HG 3575 Previous topic Parent topic Child topic Next topic

For the load concept via HTTPS for HG 3575 and HG 3500 please refer to “Gateways HG 3500 and HG 3575“, Chapter 5, “Load Concept for Gateway Boards”.
The loadware for a HG 3575 is very extensive. If, while the module is being loaded, it is determined that the loadware in the flash memory of the module does not match the loadware stored in the hard disk of the OpenScape 4000 central system, the loadware is reloaded on the HG 3575.
The loadware is transferred via FTP-Push (load functionality via hhtps hasn’t been used, i.e. loading via LW Update Manager), with the HG 3575 downloading the loadware from the FTP server of the HiPath 4000 central processor (in the RMX system).
The FTP server can only transfer loadware to up to five HG 3575 boards at a time. If there are multiple HG 3575s in the system (up to 83 access points are possible), the other modules wait their turn in case of a system reload. This takes quite a long time and considerably slows down startup of the system.
IMPORTANT:
With the feature “AP Multicast Loading” the downtime of a system in case of a system update (system relaod with software/loadware version) will be reduced. For details please refer to Section 2.2.8, “Updating Access Point Loadware during an RMX Upgrade (New Fix Release/Minor Release)”.
It is therefore possible for a HG 3575 to download new loadware from the FTP server in the background, which means while the system is running. Therefore the loadware update manager of the HiPath 4000 should be used (see „Gateways HG 3500 and HG 3575“, Section 5.5, “Updating Loadware with "LW Update Manager"”).
Alternative the loadware can be transferred via FTP-Push while the system is running, without executing it immediately. Actions of this type should be performed at off-peak times, as the loadware transfer reduces the bandwidth for signaling messages. The load operation can also be performed with signaling survivability. The effect on the available bandwidth is particularly critical in this case.

Click Search and select the access point.
Click Deactivate on the Action pull-down menu.
Once the system has confirmed deactivation of the AP, reactivate it with Activate.

IMPORTANT:
Connections are cleared down without further warning!
Changing the music on hold (MOH) in the system (AMO ZAND:MELODY=X)
When changing the MELODY setting, the following command sequence must be executed (for each AP) so that the changes become effective immediately:
