49. After the slot 4 NMIC reboots, a database restoration window will appear on the Cellworx

GUI screen from the slot 2 NMIC.

Note: It is imperative that the user selects the slot 2 NMIC for database restoration
because only the database files on this NMIC were converted from release 2.0 format to
release 3.0 format.

Warning: Following the software upgrade procedure, there are several actions that could
invalidate software fallback. The user SHOULD NOT perform any of the following
tasks unless he is certain that a software fallback from release 3.0 to release 2.0 is not
necessary.

•

Make any topology modifications (add/remove NE, all shelf types)

•

Remove any existing cards

•

Delete any existing connections

•

Change the time of day clock

•

Perform a ring upgrade (OC3c --> OC12c, etc.)

•

Remove any file in the /cellworx/config directory with the extension,
".release2.0". These files must be present in order to perform a software
fallback.

•

Also be aware of the following restrictions:

•

If a release 3.0 card is installed in a shelf (such as DS3 CES or T1/E1 Frame
Relay), remove that card before performing software fallback.

•

Delete any connections that are created following software upgrade before
attempting software fallback.

Reflash Boot Image menu option.

51. In the resulting screen, select the release 3.0 bootrom for each card installed in the shelf

(except the NMIC). To do this, right-click on each row in the table and select the
appropriate bootrom image. The following images should be selected:

SCC = 3.0.0.5

(the SCC flash image was previously installed in step 36)

AIC/RIC = 3.0.1.2

54.

Once release 3.0 bootrom images have been selected for all cards in the GNE shelf, click
the Apply button. Wait about 5 minutes and then click the Refresh button to update the
