Chapter 2  Preparing for Installation

2.1  Safety Precautions

To avoid possible bodily injury or equipment impairment, please read the following safety recommendations carefully before installing the LSBM1WCM2A0 access controller module. Note that these recommendations do not cover all possible hazardous conditions.

2.1.1  General Safety Recommendations

l           Check that the access controller module is to be installed in a clean and dust-free switch chassis.

l           Keep the switch chassis and installation tools away from walk areas.

l           Do not wear loose clothing, ornaments (including finger rings and necklaces), or any other articles that may get caught by the board when installing or maintaining the access controller module.

 

 

2.1.2  Electricity Safety

l           Carefully check your work area for possible hazards, such as ungrounded power system, unreliable grounding, and moist floor.

l           Locate the emergency power switch in the equipment room before installing the access controller module so that you can cut off the power immediately in case of accident.

l           Avoid maintaining the access controller module alone with the switch powered on.

l           When operations are not allowed with the switch powered on, always double check that the power is disconnected.

2.1.3  ESD Prevention

To avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to the electronic components of the access controller module, apart from the general ESD-prevention measures taken on the installation site, observe the precautions below:

l           Always wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap when installing the access controller module.

l           When checking or moving the access controller module, always take it by its edges. Do not touch any electronic component or printed circuit.

Take the following steps to use the ESD-preventive wrist strap:

1)         Put on the ESD-prevention wrist strap.

2)         Fasten the ESD-preventive wrist strap and verify that it makes good skin contact.

3)         Plug the grounding terminal of the ESD-preventive wrist strap into the ESD-preventive wrist strap jack on the switch chassis, or attach the ground wire of the ESD-preventive wrist strap to the grounding screw on the chassis with an alligator clip.

4)         Verify that the ESD-preventive wrist strap is well grounded.

 

 

2.2  Checking the Installation Site

The installation environment for the access controller module must meet the requirements described in this section.

2.2.1  Temperature and Humidity Requirements

Proper temperature and humidity must be maintained in the equipment room. Lasting high relative humidity tends to cause poor insulation, electricity creepage, mechanical property change of materials, and corrosion of metal parts, while lasting low relative humidity can result in loose screws due to washer contraction, and even electrostatic discharge (ESD) that will cause the complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) circuitry to fail. A proper temperature condition must also be maintained to prevent premature material aging and degraded reliability accompanying high temperature conditions.

2.2.2  Cleanliness

Dust is hazardous to the operation safety of the access controller module. Dust buildup on the chassis may result in static adsorption, causing poor contact of metal components or contact points. When the relative indoor humidity is low, especially, electrostatic adsorption is more likely to happen. This not only shortens the service life of your device but also causes communications failures.

Table 2-1 lists the limit on dust content in the equipment room.

Table 2-1 Dust concentration limit in the equipment room

Substance	Concentration limit (particles/m3)
Dust particles	≤ 3 x 104 (No visible dust on desk in three days)
Note: Dust particle diameter ≥ 5 µm

 

In addition, the equipment room should meet the rigorous limits on salts, acids and sulfides to eliminate corrosion and premature aging of some parts. Table 2-2 lists the limits on harmful gases in the equipment room.

Table 2-2 Limits on harmful gases in the equipment room

Gas	Limit (mg/m³)
SO2	0.2
H2S	0.006
NH3	0.05
Cl2	0.01

 

2.2.3  EMI Prevention

All interference sources, from the outside or inside of the switch and application system, adversely affect the access controller module in the conduction patterns of capacitance coupling, inductance coupling, electromagnetic wave radiation, and common impedance (including grounding system) coupling, and cable conduction (including power cables, signal cables and output cables). To prevent interference, do the following:

l           Take effective measures against interference from the power grid.

l           Keep the protection ground (PGND) of the switch as far as possible from the grounding device or lightning protection grounding device of the power supply equipment.

l           Keep the switch far away from high-power radio launchers, radars, and equipment with high-frequency and high current.

l           Use electromagnetic shielding when necessary.

2.2.4  Grounding Requirements

A good grounding system is essential for lightning protection, interference prevention and ESD prevention to ensure the stable and reliable operation of the switch and the access controller module.

2.3  Installation Tools and Meters

Table 2-3 List of installation tools and meters

Type	Tools
Fastening tools	Phillips screwdrivers
Special tools	ESD-preventive wrist strap
Fiber cleaning tools	Airlaid paper, fiberscope
Meters	Multimeter, 500V Megohmmeter (for measuring insulation resistance), earth resistance tester

Chapter 5  Software Maintenance

5.1  Introduction

5.1.1  Files Managed by the LSBM1WCM2A0

The LSBM1WCM2A0 access controller module manages the following three types of files:

l           BootWare program file

l           Application files

l           Configuration files

5.1.2  BootWare Program File

The BootWare program file is used by the LSBM1WCM2A0 access controller module to load the application program. The whole BootWare program file consists of basic BootWare and extended BootWare.

l           The basic BootWare implements system initialization.

l           Extended BootWare provides abundant man-machine interaction functions. It is used for interface initialization for application program and boot system upgrade.

l           The whole BootWare refers to the combination of the two sections. After the basic BootWare is started, you can load or upgrade the extended BootWare.

5.1.3  Application Files

The LSBM1WCM2A0 access controller module supports the Dual Image function. By default, three application files are defined for system boot:

l           Main application file (main file)

l           Backup application file (backup file)

l           Secure application file (secure file)

These files are stored in the built-in CF card, with an extension name of .bin.

Typically, the default application file is written into the built-in CF card before the access controller module is delivered.

If you have loaded the three application files into the CF card, the system will use one of these three files to boot in the order described below. For how to set the application file types, refer to section 5.6  “Setting Application and Configuration File Types” on page 5-24.

The default names and types of the application files and their loading sequence are as follows:

l           Main application file. The default name is main.bin, and the file type is M. It is the default application file to be loaded when the system starts.

l           Backup application file. The default name is backup.bin, and the file type is B. Upon failure of loading the main application file, the system tries to load the backup file.

l           Secure application file. The default name is secure.bin, and the file type is S. If the system fails to load the backup application file, the secure application file is the last choice. If it again fails to load the secure application file, the system will give a boot failure message.

Note that:

l           Only the application files of the M, B, and S types can be used to boot the system, while an application file of the N type (an application file other than the M, B, or S type) cannot.

l           After the application program is loaded, you can rename the application files through the CLI or change the types of the M, B and N application files through the BootWare menu or the CLI. However, you cannot change the type of the S application file.

l           As the S application file is the last choice for booting the system, you cannot change its type or obtain it by changing the type of another type of application file. You can only download it using the BootWare menu.

l           Only one file of the same type (M, B, or S) can exist in the CF card. For example, if an application file of type M+B exists in the CF card, another file of type M or B cannot exist. If the type of another file is changed to B, the existing type M+B file changes to a file of type M.

5.1.4  Configuration Files

With a file extension of .cfg, the configuration files store the configuration information of the LSBM1WCM2A0 access controller module. Typically, the default configuration file is written into the built-in CF card before the access controller module is delivered.

 

 

5.1.5  Approaches of Software Maintenance for the LSBM1WCM2A0

l           Upgrading the BootWare and application files using the Xmodem protocol through a serial port

l           Upgrading application files through BootWare menu options using TFTP or FTP through an Ethernet port

l           Uploading and downloading the application and configuration files by CLI using TFTP/FTP

5.3  Upgrading the BootWare

 

 

5.3.1  Upgrading the BootWare Through a Serial Connection

To upgrade the BootWare through a serial port, use the Xmodem protocol.

Xmodem is a file transfer protocol that is widely used due to its simplicity and good performance. Xmodem transfers files via serial ports. It supports two types of data packets (128 bytes and 1 KB), two check methods (checksum and CRC), and error packet retransmission mechanism (generally the maximum number of retransmission attempts is ten).

The Xmodem transmission procedure is completed by the cooperation of a receiving program and a sending program. The receiving program sends a negotiation character to negotiate a check method. After the negotiation, the sending program starts to send data packets. Upon receiving a complete packet, the receiving program checks the packet using the agreed method.

l           If the check succeeds, the receiving program sends an ACK character and the sending program proceeds to send the next packet.

l           If the check fails, the receiving program sends a NAK character and the sending program retransmits the packet.

I. Modifying serial communication parameters

To save the upgrade time, a high serial port baud rate is preferred; to ensure the transmission reliability, the baud rate needs to be reduced.

Follow these steps to change the serial communication baud rate:

1)         Enter the BootWare main menu and select 2 to enter the serial interface submenu. Then, select 5 in the submenu. The system displays the following:

=================================<BAUDRATE SET>===========================

|Note:'*'indicates the current baudrate                                    |

|     Change The HyperTerminal's Baudrate Accordingly                      |

|---------------------------<Baudrate Avaliable>------------------------- |

|<1> 9600(Default)*                                                        |

|<2> 19200                                                                 |

|<3> 38400                                                                 |

|<4> 57600                                                                 |

|<5> 115200                                                                |

|<0> Exit                                                                 |

==========================================================================

Enter your choice(0-5):

2)         Select an appropriate baud rate. For example, select 5 for 115200 bps. The following information appears:

Baudrate has been changed to 115200 bps.

Please change the terminal's baudrate to 115200 bps, press ENTER when ready.

Now that the serial interface baud rate of the LSBM1WCM2A0 has been changed to 115,200 bps while that of the terminal is still 9,600 bps, the LSBM1WCM2A0 access controller module and the terminal cannot communicate with each other. For this reason, you need to change the baud rate to 115,200 bps in HyperTerminal.

3)         Disconnect the terminal connection in HyperTerminal, as shown below:

Figure 5-2 Disconnect the terminal connection

4)         Choose File > Properties. In the Properties dialog box, click Configure… and select 115,200 in the Bits per second drop-down list box.

Figure 5-3 Modify the baud rate

5)         Select Call > Call to reestablish the call connection.

Figure 5-4 Reconnect the call

6)         Then, press Enter in the serial interface submenu. The system prompts the current baud rate and returns to the parent menu.

II. Upgrading applications through the management Ethernet interface

The Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) is used for upgrading applications through the management Ethernet interface. TFTP is a TCP/IP protocol used for file transfer between client and server. It provides a simple and low-overhead file transfer service. TFTP provides unreliable data transfer over UDP and does not provide any access authorization and authentication mechanism. It employs the timeout retransmission method to implement best-effort delivery of data. Compared with FTP, TFTP has a much smaller software size.

Follow these steps to upgrade an application through the management Ethernet interface:

1)         Set up a software upgrade environment. Connect the 10/100/1000Base-TX out-of-band management interface to a PC with a network cable.

5.5  Maintaining the Application and Configuration Files Through the CLI

After the LSBM1WCM2A0 access controller module is normally started, you can upgrade, back up and restore the application and configure files through the CLI.

5.5.1  Uploading and Downloading Application and Configuration Files Using TFTP

Using the LSBM1WCM2A0 access controller module as the TFTP client and a file server as the TFTP server, you can use commands on the console terminal, which can be the same file server, to upload configuration and application files from the LSBM1WCM2A0 to the file server or download the files from the file server to the LSBM1WCM2A0.

I. Setting up a configuration environment

1)         Set up a configuration environment by referring to section 5.4.2  II. “Upgrading applications through the management Ethernet interface” on page 5-17.

Figure 5-8 Set up an environment for software maintenance through the CLI

2)         Run TFTP Server on the file server and set the file path.

3)         Configure the IP addresses for both sides, which must be on the same subnet. For example, set the IP address of the TFTP server to 192.168.0.1, and that of the LSBM1WCM2A0 access controller module’s management Ethernet interface to 192.168.0.2. Then use ping to verify the network connectivity.

II. Backing up and restoring application and configuration files

After setting up the environment, perform the following operations on the console terminal:

1)         View the files in the current file system with the dir command.

<H3C>dir

Directory of cfa0:/

 

   0     -rw-       617  Jul 26 2007 08:22:56   startup.cfg

   1     -rw-  10021148  Jul 28 2035 10:35:38   main.bin

   2     -rw-    356124  Jul 27 2007 09:23:54   bootware.app

2)         Perform the following to backup or restore (download) a file.

l           To back up startup.cfg on the LSBM1WCM2A0 by saving it as startup.bak on the TFTP server, use the following command:

<H3C>tftp 192.168.0.1 put startup.cfg config.bak

 

  File will be transferred in binary mode

  Sending file to remote TFTP server. Please wait...\

  TFTP:      617 bytes sent in 0 second(s).

  File uploaded successfully.

l           To download config.cfg from the TFTP server to the LSBM1WCM2A0, use the following command:

<H3C>tftp 192.168.0.1 get config.cfg statup.cfg

The file statu.cfg exists. Overwrite it?[Y/N]:y

  Verifying server file...

  Deleting the old file, please wait...

 

  File will be transferred in binary mode

  Downloading file from remote tftp server, please wait...\

  TFTP:     617 bytes received in 0 second(s)

  File downloaded successfully.

If a file with the same name already exists on the LSBM1WCM2A0, the system will ask you whether to replace the existing file. Enter Y to replace it, or N to abort.

 

 

5.5.2  Uploading and Downloading Application and Configuration Files Using FTP

I. Using the LSBM1WCM2A0 as the FTP server

The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is an application layer protocol in the TCP/IP suite. It is mainly used for file transfer between remote hosts. FTP provides a reliable, connection-oriented data transfer service over TCP.

With FTP service enabled and FTP server authentication and authorization configured, you can use FTP to download and upload files. The FTP server supports multi-user access. When the remote FTP client sends a request to the FTP server, the FTP server executes an action accordingly and returns the execution result to the client.

With the LSBM1WCM2A0 as the FTP server, you can run the FTP client application on a PC and log in to the LSBM1WCM2A0 for file operations.

Before using FTP, you need to install the FTP client application on your PC. The FTP client software is not provided with the LSBM1WCM2A0. You must make sure that it is available by yourself. The description here assumes that you are using the FTP client application of Microsoft Windows XP.

Follow these steps to maintain the software of your access controller module through FTP with the access controller module as the FTP server:

1)         Set up a network environment, as shown below:

Figure 5-9 Set up a software maintenance environment (LSBM1WCM2A0 as FTP server)

2)         Configure the IP addresses for both sides, which must be on the same subnet. For example, set the IP address of the FTP client to 192.168.0.1, and that of the LSBM1WCM2A0 access controller module’s management Ethernet interface to 192.168.0.2. Then use ping to verify the network connectivity.

Start FTP service.

[H3C]ftp server enable

% Start FTP server 

3)         Add an authorized FTP username and password.

[H3C]local-user guest                     Create user account guest

[H3C-luser- guest]service-type ftp            set user type to FTP

[H3C-luser- guest]password simple 123456    Set password 123456 for user guest

4)         Enter ftp in the MD-DOS prompt window to start the FTP client application on the PC, and log in to the LSBM1WCM2A0.

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>ftp

ftp>                                      The system prompt changed to ftp>

Chapter 6  Troubleshooting

6.1  Troubleshooting Software Loading

If software loading fails, the system runs in original version. In this case, check if the physical ports are properly connected:

l           If the ports are not properly connected, reconnect them correctly and restart the loading procedure.

l           If the ports are properly connected, check the loading process information displayed on the console terminal for input errors. In case of any input error, restart the loading process with correct inputs.

Possible input errors include:

l           The serial port baud rate setting on the console terminal is not timely changed back after software download using Xmodem with a changed baud rate.

l           A wrong IP address, file name, or TFTP Server work path specified for software loading using TFTP

l           A wrong IP address, file name, username, or password specified for software loading using FTP

If the cause cannot be located, contact your local dealer for help.

6.2  Troubleshooting the Configuration System

If the LSBM1WCM2A0 access controller module passes the POST after the switch is powered on, the console terminal connected with the access controller module displays the startup banner and prompt messages; if the configuration system is faulty, you may see nothing or illegible characters on the console terminal.

I. No display on the console terminal

If no information is displayed on the console terminal, please check:

l           Whether the power supply of the switch is normal

l           Whether the console cable is correctly connected

If the cause cannot be located in the above-mentioned steps, please check:

l           Whether the console cable is in good condition

l           Whether the terminal settings are correct.

II. Illegible display on the console terminal

Illegible display on the console terminal is very likely to be caused by terminal parameter setting errors. Verify the following terminal parameter settings:

l           Bits per second: 9600

l           Data bits: 8

l           Parity: none

l           Stop bits: 1

l           Flow control: none

l           Terminal emulation: VT100.
