2.5.2. Notes on IP Gateway Loadware Previous topic Parent topic Child topic Next topic

  • Although you can store two loadware images on the IP gateway HG3575, only one of these is the "golden load" that is loaded after a cold start (power off).
  • Loadware ID check
  • A loadware ID check is performed every time the HG3575 is started and compares the board loadware that is being downloaded with the loadware version on the hard disk (:PDS:APSP/LTG/LGA0/PZKNCI40).
    If the result of the check is negative, that is, if there is a discrepancy with the loadware stored on the HD, then the loadware is transferred from the HD to the NCUI via FTP and then installed/restarted.
  • Installation of NCUI loadware (PZKNCUI40)
  • A NCUI loadware (PZKNCUI40) loaded/transfered in the background will be installed with a warm boot.
    This warm boot can be started with the following actions/events:
    • Deactivate/activate with AMO USSU (DEACTIVATE-USSU/ACTIVATE-USSU).
    • Restart of the access point with EXEC-USSU:UPDATAP,<ap-number>;. New configuration data will be loaded to the access point and a warm boot will be initiated.
    • New startup after loadware transfer (initiated through negative LW ID check during startup).
    • after connection failure in TCP (ALVTIME).
  • Golden loadware check
  • In HG 3575, the latest loadware to be downloaded is called "golden loadware" (as-delivered NCUI2+/NCUI4 boards include loadware in the flash memory).
    The golden loadware check is always performed after new loadware is downloaded/restarted (loadware upgrade/loadware ID check negative). If this check is successful, the download pointer is rewritten as appropriate so that the golden loadware corresponds to the new loadware.
