The process of downloading code to a UBS consists of two principal steps:

1. Code transfer to the UBS followed by distribution to the devices

2. Code activation

Normally , the OMC -R will download code to the UBS through the span line once the UBS is

conﬁgured to establish communication with the OMC -R. However , there may be some occasions

that the LMF may be used to download load instead, such as at a staging location used to

pre -load replacement DMIs with same code load version required by OMC -R. Then, when the

new DMI is taken to the site, it will integrate and synchronize much faster with the OMC -R.

When the code is activated, the UBS will re–start, and the LMF will lose contact with the UBS .

It will be necessary to log into the UBS again after the UBS devices complete initialization

with the new code.

Prerequisites

The following must be accomplished before downloading code:

• A

bts–#

folder has been created for the UBS in the cdma subdirectory of the LMF home

directory . (Refer to W inLMF File Structure Overview on page 3 - 3 )

• The current

NECB -<software_release#>—bts#.xm

l and

NECJ -<software_re-

lease#>—bts#.xml

ﬁles for the UBS are saved in the UBS

bts–#

folder

• The LIF .xml ﬁle and code and data binary ﬁles for the software release are saved in the

cdma\loads\

<software_release#>

subdirectory folder of the LMF home directory , where

<software_release#>

is the number of the software release installed on the BS S . The

<software_release#> should be the same as deﬁned in the NECB/NECJ ﬁles

• The LMF is logged into the UBS in invasive mode

If W inZip is used to unzip codeload, please be sure to uncheck the CR/LF conversion

on the W inZip tool: From W inZip window , select Options -> Conﬁguration ->

Miscellaneous and unchecked T AR ﬁle smart CR/LF conversion box.

Download Procedure

Code ﬁles are downloaded to the UBS using an FTP server . The user is given a choice of using

the built–in LMF FTP server or an external FTP server . F or initial download of a UBS , the built–in

FTP server in the LMF should be used. This procedure covers using the LMF built–in FTP server .
