The purpose of this document is to describe the upgrade procedure for theOMS 846 Release 1.5.

1.1 General Important InformationThis section provides general important information of upgrading procedures.

1.1.1 Terminology

Terminologies for the OMS 846 system upgrading used in this document aregiven as follows:

NR OMS 846 device network release which contains the two items below.

Software System Controller Software

Firmware Module Firmware

Each of them is a collections of loadable items running in the OMS 846 R1.5.

1.1.2 Traffic Interruption

No traffic will be interrupted while downloading OMS 846 NR without restartingthe Network Element (NE).

No traffic will be interrupted while downloading OMS 846 software.

All traffic will be interrupted while downloading OMS 846 firmware.

Approximately 90 seconds traffic interruption can be expected for mostupgrades.

1.1.3 Active and Inactive Banks Consistencies

The OMS 846 supports both active and inactive bank. It is recommended tokeep consistent versions of NR, software, or firmware for both banks. So therepetitive upgrade operation procedures are needed for both the active andinactive banks.
