IP -LTCN Application

supplement provides specific changes and additions to the “DT-6061 User’s Manual (Platform)”
that apply to the IP-LTCN application on the DT-6061. The complete description, installation
procedures, commands, etc for the DT-6061 platform are contained in the “DT-6061 User’s
Manual (Platform)” to which the user should refer for more detail. This supplement is intended to
be a “cookbook” for the IP-LTCN application administrators.
1.1 APPLICATIONS AND INSTANCES
A single DT-6061 host can support up to 30 copies, called instances, of an application. Because
of the requirements of the IP-LTCN application, only one copy of the IP-LTCN application can be
installed on a DT-6061 host and always in instance 1. No other applications can be installed on
this host. Therefore, any commands input via the DT-6061 console requiring an instance number
as a parameter should always use as its value “1”.
1.2 HIGH AVAILABILITY OPTION
The DT-6061 is available in a redundant configuration to provide high availability of the user's
applications. A single active DT-6061 is coupled with a standby DT-6061 that is ready to take
over automatically if the active DT-6061 fails for any reason. After the failed DT-6061 recovers, it
is returned to service as standby.
For the LoopCare system, Tollgrade Communications, its supplier, wants the High Availability
Option to be used in the following way for software updates: Instead of the installation of software
from the active to the standby DT-6061, the DT-6061 platform administrator will install or update
the software on both machines.
2 INITIAL CONFIGURATION
In order to configure a DT-6061 device, a console, which will be referred to as the DT-6061
console in the rest of this document, must be directly attached to the console port. (See section
5.1 of the “DT-6061 User’s Manual (Platform)” for details.) After logging in, the administrator must
configure the DT-6061’s IP address, its associated address mask, and a gateway IP address.
Then the IP-LTCN application can be installed, and assigned to instance 1. After that the
administrator can configure a pair of DT-6061’s for high availability.
Below is the DT-6061 configuration sequence. This assumes that the platform software has
already been factory installed. Platform software is separate from application software. The
platform software is the operating system and associated functions. The application software is
the specific user program, such as IP-LTCN.
2.1 PLATFORM CONFIGURATION
The following is the command sequence for the initial configuration of the DT-6061.

↵ enter IP address of DT-6061
You must reboot for this change to take effect
<DT-6061> submask 255.255.255.0 ↵
↵↵
↵ enter Subnet Mask of DT-6061
You must reboot for this change to take effect
<DT-6061> gateway 135.17.59.1 ↵
↵↵
↵ enter Gateway Address of DT-6061 if necessary
You must reboot for this change to take effect
