3.2 Connecting Client to Serial Port

This section describes how to connect a Client to the serial port of the RBS.

A DUW serial cable (RPM 919 732/05000) is required to connect to the DUW.

To set up a serial connection, do the following:

1. Turn the RBS power on.

2. Remove any cables connected to ports LMT A and LMT B of the DUW.

Information on port locations on the DUW refer to Digital Unit Description.

3. Connect the D-sub connector on the serial cable to the communicationsport (COM1) of the Client.

4. Connect the RJ-45 connector on the serial cable to the serial port (LMTA) of the DUW.

5. Use any software for terminal emulation in the PC, for example WindowsHyperTerminal, and configure it for communication over COM1 with thefollowing parameters:

• baud rate = 9600 bits per second

• parity = none

• stop bits = 1 bit

• data bits = 8 bits

• flow control = none

6. In the communication window of the terminal emulation software, clickOK or press Enter.

The $ prompt is shown indicating that a serial connection to the DUW isestablished.

7. For an RBS equipped with one DUW, see Section 3.3 on page 6.

For an RBS equipped with two DUWs, see Section 3.4 on page 10.

3.3.1 Formatting DUW Hard Drive

The hard drive of the DUW is partitioned (c and d) and must be formattedbefore loading the CV software package. When in backup mode, the hard driveis divided into a c2 and a d partition.

To format the hard drive of the DUW, do the following:

1. Set up a serial connection from the Client to the DUW, according toinstructions in Section 3.2 on page 6.

2. Restart the RBS in backup mode, using the following command:

reload --

The RBS replies with the following information:

OSE Delta PowerPC/BL250187

Welcome to OSE Shell ose5.3.

Stop due to remain in basic/backup set

Note: This reply is an example.

3. Format the hard drive partition c2, using the following command:

formathd /c2


All data on volume will be destroyed. Continue? y/n(n):

• If the c2 volume is not found, use command mount_c2 beforecommand formathd /c2.

4. Type y.

3.3.2 Setting IP Configuration

The Internet Protocol (IP) configuration is necessary for the FTP program andthe RBS Element Manager (EM). The configuration in the RBS is set in terminalemulation software through a serial connection.

To set the IP configuration, do the following:

1. Set the IP configuration, by using the ifconfig command:

ifconfig le0 <IP address> netmask <netmask> broadcast<broadcast address>

Replace <IP address>, <netmask>, and <broadcast address> withthe addresses of the RBS node.

2. Check the IP configuration using the ifconfig command. It can benecessary to enter the reload command and then the reload --command to be able to see the IP configuration information.

3. If needed, set the default gateway address in the node by command routeadd default <gateway>.

3.3.3 Connecting Client to Ethernet Port

Connect the Client with a crossed Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port, LMT B, ofthe DUW. For more information refer to the Hardware Maintenance Instructions.

3.3.4 Checking IP Configuration and RBS Connection

This section describes how to check that the RBS is reachable through theEthernet interface.

To check the IP configuration and RBS connection, do the following:

2. Use the ping command in an MS-DOS window on the Client.

Example: ping 169.254.1.1

8 187/1543-LZA 701 6003 Uen E | 2014-05-13


3. Replace the IP address with the IP address designated for the RBSnode, set in Section 3.3.2 on page 8.

The RBS replies to the ping request if the connection is correctly configured.

Note: The response is not always immediate.

3.3.5 Downloading Basic CV from Client to DUW

To download basic CV software from the Client to the DUW through FTP, dothe following:

1. Start the FTP Client.

2. Connect to the RBS, using the IP address: 169.254.1.1 (example).

3. Transfer the basic CV directories c2 and d from the Client to the rootdirectory of the RBS.

Note: Use binary transfer mode in the FTP Client for all file transfers.

4. Exit the FTP Client when the file transfer is complete.

3.3.6 Restarting RBS

To restart the RBS, do the following:

• Using the serial port, restart the RBS with the following command interminal emulation software:
