21.2.2 CMMmicroSoftwareandHardwareCompatibility
The CMMmicro contains both a programmable logic device (PLD) and software. These
must be compatible. For example, the PLD that is compatible with CMMmicro Release
2.0.8 is PLD 5. Further, the CMMmicro must be compatible with both the application
software release and the hardware of attached APs and BHs. These attached modules
must have been manufactured in October 2002 or later.
APs and BHs that were manufactured earlier do not support sync on the power leads of
the Ethernet port. To determine whether the AP or BH hardware is compatible with the
CMMmicro, see Table 53.

21.2.3 MIBFileSetCompatibility
Although MIB files are text files (not software), they define objects associated with
configurable parameters and indicators for the module and its links. In each release,
some of these parameters and indicators are not carried forward from the previous
release, and some parameters and indicators are introduced or changed.
For this reason, use the MIB files from your download to replace previous MIB files in
conjunction with your software upgrades, even if the file names are identical to those of
your previous files. Date stamps on the MIB files distinguish the later set.
21.3 REDEPLOYINGMODULES
Successfully redeploying a module may involve
• maintaining full and accurate records of modules being redeployed from
warehouse stock.
• exercising caution about
• software compatibility. For example, whether desired features can be
enabled with the redeployed module in the network.
• procedural handling of the module. For example
• whether to align the SM or BHS by power level and jitter or by only jitter.
• whether the module auto-senses the Ethernet cable connector scheme.
• hardware compatibility. For example, where a CMMmicro is deployed.
• the value of each configurable parameter. Whether all are compatible in the
new destination.
