1. Display current Controller status and software version by entering the following command:
status equipment
A message similar to the following will appear, showing the equipment card slots, service status,
and Controller software version.
Equipment Status Version

Controller B Standby 1.70

DS1 Card 2 Installed 1
DS1 Card 3 Installed 1
DS1 Card 4 Installed 1
DS1 Card 5 Installed 1
DS1 Card 6 Installed 1
DS1 Card 7 Card not installed
DS1 Card 8 Card not installed
NOTE: In a system with two Controller cards, one Controller will have “Active” status
and the other will have “Standby” status. A defective Controller card will have an
“Unknown” status, indicating that the card is installed but not responding.
2. If new Controller card version is compatible with installed active Controller card, skip remaining
steps.
3. If new Controller card version is NOT compatible with installed active Controller card, continue
this procedure only if prepared for a service interruption and loss of provisioning. Verify
provisioning both before and after performing this procedure. Make provisioning changes as
required to re-establish service.
