Overview
Base Input/Output Modules

The ATM base input/output (BIO1 or BIO2) modules provide ATM layer processing
for four independent 622 Mbps cell threads. Each BIO thread interfaces cells to or
from a physical interface (phy) module and to or from the switching fabric port. A phy
module may be a quad OC-3c/STM-1 or a single OC-12c/STM-4 module on a
per-thread basis, or an OC-48/STM-16 module on a per-BIO basis.
The BIO2 module includes all features of the BIO1 module, and the following
enhancements:
• Increased call handling performance.
• Explicit forward congestion indication (EFCI) marking on the cell header, which,
when set, enables congestion control on a per-virtual circuit (VC) basis.
• Traffic management features.
Number of Supported Modules
There can be up to 10 BIO modules on a GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch chassis.

On switch software versions that support the BIO2 module, BIO1 and BIO2 modules
fully interoperate on the same switch. The BIO modules are located vertically on the
front of the chassis (see Figure 1-1 on page 1-4). Slots that are not occupied by
modules are masked with blank covers to ensure proper air flow through the switch.
A BIO module can be placed within slots 3 through 12 and must be installed before
the phy modules connected to a BIO module in a particular slot (at the rear of the
switch) can be active. See Chapter 7, “Removing and Installing Components,” for
more information about the phy modules that can be connected to a BIO2 module.
Interfaces to Switch Fabric
The BIO module interfaces to the switch fabric (SF) module via a connector to the
backplane. The BIO interfaces its four cell-processing threads to four ports of the SF.

Interfaces to Physical Interface Modules
The BIO module interfaces to a variety of phy modules via a connector on the
backplane. Table 1-1 describes the interfaces for a BIO module.

OC-48/STM-16 2.488 Gbps 1 1 port 1 port
GX 550 ES downlink 1.0368 Gbps 4 1 port 4 ports
Switch Fabric Module

The switch fabric (SF) module provides non-blocked, source-routed cell switching of
up to 25 Gbps.
There can be one or two SF modules in a GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch chassis.
The SF can operate correctly with one or two SFs, one or two NPs, one or two timing
modules, and 0 to 10 BIOs (BIO1s or BIO2s) installed. There is no SF adapter module
in the GX 550.
The SF modules are located in the front of the chassis in the third and fourth slots from
the top (see Figure 1-1 on page 1-4). The second SF module is a redundant SF unit. If
the active SF module fails, the redundant SF module becomes the active SF without
disrupting working services.

Overview
Node Processor Module

The Node Processor (NP1 or NP2) module provides system control and management.
See Chapter 8, “Node Processor 2 (NP2)” for information about the NP2.
There can be one or two NP modules in a GX 550 chassis. The NP modules are
located in the two top slots of the front chassis and are oriented horizontally
(see Figure 1-1 on page 1-4).
The second NP module serves as a redundant unit. If the active NP module fails, the
redundant NP module becomes the active NP without disrupting working services.
Cell Thread Interface
The Cell Thread Interface connects both NPs to a single port of the SF (Port #40).
This fabric port is not shared with an I/O module. Each NP is connected to both SF1
and SF2 for redundancy.

OC-3c/STM-1, OC-12c/STM-4, OC-48/STM-16 Phy Modules

The OC-3c/STM-1, OC-12c/STM-4, and OC-48/STM-16 phy modules are physical
layer cards that provide the SONET/SDH ATM interface to the BIO modules.
The phy modules provide the physical media dependent (PMD) and Transmission
Convergence (TC) sublayer functionality prior to the ATM layer processing
performed by the BIO module. The phy module contains the optics, framing, and
timing-generation functions unique to the physical level that it supports. The BIO
controls all of the BIO/phy module interfacing.
The GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch chassis has 39 slots for phy modules at the rear
of the chassis (see Figure 1-2 on page 1-5). Slots 3A through 12C can each hold an
OC-3c/STM-1 or an OC-12c/STM-4 module. An OC-48/STM-16 module occupies
four slots (for example, slots 3A – 3D).
Slot 12D cannot hold an OC-3c/STM-1 or an OC-12c/STM-4 module, and slots

12A – 12D cannot hold an OC-48/STM-16 module.
Automatic Protection Switching Redundancy
The phy modules support Automatic Protection Switching (APS). The K1/K2 bytes of
the SONET/SDH framing overhead are monitored and accessed by the software to
provide an automated switching mechanism for rerouting traffic from a failed link to a
protection facility. The protection, 1+1 Protected Linear Network, is described in
Bellcore GR-253-CORE. The redundancy mechanism between the active and
protection ports is provided through software, across phy modules. See the B-STDX,
CBX, and GX Switch Module Configuration Guide for more details regarding the APS
features that each GX 550 module supports.

Overview
GX 550 ES Downlink Phy Module
Note – Read the applicable GX 550 switch software release notice (SRN) to
determine whether the GX 550 ES is supported in your current release.
The GX 550 ES downlink phy module is a physical layer card that interfaces to the
BIO module. The downlink phy module extends the physical layer function of the
GX 550 phy interface to the GX 550 ES via a standard multimode fiber cable,
controlling cell flow, timing, and fault monitoring for the GX 550 ES.
The downlink phy module supports ATM traffic on a single thread of 622 Mbps per
user, over a 1.0368 GB interface.
You can connect up to four downlink phy modules to each BIO (BIO1 or BIO2)
module in a GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch. Each downlink phy module must be
installed with a supporting BIO module in the corresponding slot at the front of the
GX 550.
Interfaces with Other Modules
The GX 550 ES downlink phy module interfaces via a standard multimode fiber cable
to the uplink phy module (installed at the rear of GX 550 ES).
For more information about the GX 550 ES, see the GX 550 ES Hardware Installation
Guide.
Node Processor Adapter Module

The node processor adapter (NPA) module provides input/output connections to the
node processor module and the timing module.

There is one NPA module in a GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch chassis. The NPA
module is located in the rear of the chassis, third slot from the top, and is oriented
horizontally (see Figure 1-2 on page 1-5).
Timing Module
The timing module contains the centralized phy timing sources for the system, and
distributes a timing (master) clock to the physical ports on the backplane. The
BIO/phy modules derive physical timing appropriate for the transmission interface
from the timing clock. In addition, the timing module provides timing to synchronize
data across the backplane.
The timing module also provides 24V power to the chassis fans.
Caution – If the switch is powered up without a timing module installed, the cooling
! fans will not operate and the equipment can be damaged from overheating. Do not
power up the switch unless a timing module is installed.
Caution – When latching down the timing module, you will lose timing even though
! the fans are still operating.
There can be up to two timing modules in the chassis. The timing module is located in
the rear of the chassis in the first and second slots from the top (see Figure 1-2 on
page 1-5).
The second timing module serves as a redundant unit. If the active timing module
fails, the redundant timing module becomes the active timing module without
disrupting working services.

Specifications and Safety Warnings
This chapter describes the following specifications and safety warnings for the
GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch:
• Electronic/Electrical Requirements
• Physical Specifications
• Site Specifications
• DC Power Supply Warnings
• Safety Warnings
Electronic/Electrical Requirements
The following sections describe the GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch’s electronic
and electrical requirements:
Power Specifications
The GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch requires -48 or -60 VDC power, as specified
in Table 2-1 on page 2-2. If you have an AC power source, use a rectifier to convert
AC-to-DC power (see “AC-to-DC Rectifier Unit” on page 2-3).

Table 2-1. GX 550 Multiservice WAN Switch Electronic/Electrical

Specifications
Application Specification
-48 VDC 63 amps max, 3,000 watts max
-60 VDC 50 amps max, 3,000 watts max
Note – The maximum power dissipation is 3,000 watts. The actual power dissipation
varies, depending on the configuration of your switch, so the switch may draw less
current than the values listed in Table 2-1.
Wiring Size
The actual input voltage for a GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch can range from
-40 to -72 VDC, with a maximum input current of 75 amps. You must ensure that the
wire size is adequate for the current rating, and that the voltage drop anticipated in the
installation complies with locally applicable codes.
Transient Power Protection for DC Power Sources

The GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch is NEBS compliant (Bellcore GR-1089 and
GR-63), supporting 0 – 200V transients for up to one microsecond. However, if you
are using a DC power source, power drops can cause the switch to reboot, and many
Lucent customers have transient specification requirements that are greater than that
of Bellcore. You can provide additional “ride-through” time and greater protection
from transients by using a DC input power protection unit (DCPPU). See “DC Input
Power Protection Unit (DCPPU)” on page 2-4 for more information.
If you are using an AC power source, you do not need to use a DCPPU because the
rectifier has built-in transient protection (see “AC-to-DC Rectifier Unit” on page 2-3).

Beta Draft Confidential Specifications and Safety Warnings
AC-to-DC Rectifier Unit

The GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch requires DC power. If you do not have a
DC power source, use an AC-to-DC rectifier to provide DC power to the switch.
AC-to-DC Rectifier Required Features
Use an AC-to-DC rectifier that has the following features:

• Converts 240 VAC or 120 VAC standard power to 56 VDC
• Provides up to 3,000 watts of DC power from multiple standard branch circuits
• Allows hot-swapping of converter modules, so no maintenance shutdown is
needed
• Derives power from standard branch circuits and provides auto-ranging and
power factor correction
• Allows ride-through time of 10 ms (milliseconds) for momentary line drop
transients
• Has worldwide regulatory approvals for safety and EMI
Ordering an AC-to-DC Rectifier Unit
Contact your Lucent Account Manager for the name of an approved AC-to-DC
rectifier. See the section, “AC-to-DC Rectifier Unit” in Appendix A, for a description
of the AC-to-DC rectifier that you can purchase from Lucent.

DC Input Power Protection Unit (DCPPU)

GX 550 Multiservice WAN switches do not have power supplies; instead, native DC
inputs (A and B) are fed into the switch, and power is distributed to each line card via
the backplane. If you are using an AC power source, you do not need to use a DCPPU
because the AC-to-DC rectifier has built-in transient protection
(see “AC-to-DC Rectifier Unit” on page 2-3).
The DCPPU (see Figure 2-1) provides the GX 550 with protection from transients,
and additional “ride-through” time when the switch is connected to a DC power
source. A transient event occurs when equipment connected to the same two DC
power feeds has a line-to-return short circuit, and has diode-isolation between the A
and B power feeds. This will short both A and B feeds simultaneously, causing a short
drop in both 48V feeds, which is often followed by an over-voltage transient. This
transient can cause the switch to reboot, resulting in several minutes of downtime.
The primary application for the DCPPU is in central office installations with
multi-vendor settings, where additional protection from fuse-clearing transient events
may be needed.

DCPPU Features
The DCPPU unit consists of two power modules, cabling for feed A and feed B, and
an external power alarm connector status cable (see Figure 2-3 on page 2-9).
The DCPPU has the following features:
• Return-lead diode isolation between 48V return A and 48V return B to prevent
circulating currents otherwise caused by unbalanced loading or wiring between
A and B feeds
• Isolation from fuse-clearing transient events and other transients that may occur
externally to the GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch
• Energy storage, up to five-millisecond ride-through time from 48V input dropout
(also referred to as a zero-voltage transient)
• Input line fuse to supplement the branch circuit breaker for line-to-line faults in
either the GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch or the DCPPU
• Compliance with AT&T spec 802-010-100
• Convection cooling
• Operational status reports that are sent to NMS
• 19- or 23-inch rack mount capability
• Maintenance On/Off toggle button for each set of power connectors (A and B) —
this button is recessed, labeled as 1/0, and is located to the right of the FLT (fault)
LED (see Figure 2-2 on page 2-6)
Caution – There are no user-serviceable components (for example, replaceable fuses)

! in the DCPPU.

DCPPU Cabling
The input voltage for a DCPPU can range from -40 to -72 VDC, with a maximum
input current of 75 amperes. Select the appropriate cable thickness depending on the
distance between the connection points and the system configuration.
Lucent provides the following cables:

• DC power cables for connecting the output of the DCPPU to the input of the
GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch
• An external power alarm cable for connecting the DCPPU and the GX 550
(see “External Power Alarm Signals” on page 2-11 for signal descriptions and
pinout information)
The purchaser of the DCPPU must provide the following cables:

• DC power cables between the -48 VDC source and the inputs to the DCPPU
• Chassis ground cables
Note – Lucent recommends a two-hole lug (for example, a Panduit LDC4-14D) for
all grounding, return, and power stud connections.

DCPPU Cable Installation
Refer to Figure 2-3 on page 2-9 while performing the following steps:
1. Verify that the correct power source is available (see the section, “Power
Specifications” on page 2-1).
2. Verify that the power is off or disconnected at the source.
3. With a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the protective cover over the power
terminals.
4. If necessary, terminate the power, return, and grounding wires in suitable listed
two-hole lugs (for example, Panduit LCD4-14D), using the tool recommended by
the manufacturer.
5. Using a 7/16-inch wrench or socket, remove the nut and washers from each of the
studs that you are going to connect to, including the chassis ground studs.
6. Install the lug from the grounding wire to the DCPPU chassis ground studs.
Lucent recommends that, to provide a single-point ground connection, only one of
the chassis grounds should be connected to earth ground. See the section,
“Connecting Power Cables to the Switch” in Chapter 5 for more information.
7. Install the -48 VDC source cables to the appropriate DCPPU input studs
(-48V INPUT and INPUT RETURN). There are two inputs: Feed A and Feed B.
Both feeds should be connected through separate sources to provide 1+1 input
redundancy.
8. Connect the output cables as follows:
a. Install the -48 VDC output cables to the appropriate DCPPU output studs
(-48V OUTPUT and OUTPUT RETURN).
b. Terminate the other ends at the GX 550.
c. Connect DCPPU output feed A to the GX 550 input feed A, and DCPPU
output feed B to the GX 550 input feed B. See the section, “Connecting Power
Cables to the Switch” in Chapter 5 for more information.
9. Reinstall the washers and nut onto each stud by using a 7/16-inch wrench or
socket to tighten each nut.
10. Reinstall the protective cover.

11. Insert the External Power Alarm cable through the hole in the protective cover,
installing it onto the appropriate connector on the DCPPU; connect the other end
of the cable to the EXT PWR ALARM connector on the Node Processor Adapter
at the rear of the GX 550 (see Figure 5-3 in Chapter 5). See also “External Power

If the switch being installed is the first switch into your network (the gateway switch),
read and follow the instructions in this section; otherwise proceed to Chapter 5,
“Powering Up the GX 550.”
Before You Begin

The SPARCstations that you are using for network management should be dedicated
for that purpose. Using the NMS hardware for other tasks slows the performance of
the network management functions. After you have the appropriate hardware, you can
begin installing the OS and network management software.
For information about the hardware requirements and appropriate configuration for
your NMS workstation, and instructions for installing the OS and network
management software, see the B-STDX, CBX, and GX Network Management Station
Installation Guide. After you have installed the OS and network management
software on the NMS, you can connect the switch to the NMS by using one of the
methods listed in the next section.

NMS Connection Methods

You can connect the GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch to the NMS by using any of
the following methods. Lucent recommends direct or indirect Ethernet as the primary
connection method from the NMS to the switch.
Direct Ethernet — Connects the switch and NMS when they are on the same LAN.
This method provides the greatest speed and ease-of-use. See “Using Direct Ethernet”
on page 4-18.
Indirect Ethernet — Connects the switch and the NMS when they are on separate
LANs. This option requires a router. See “Using Indirect Ethernet” on page 4-19.
Management VC (VPI/VCI) — Connects the NMS and the switch through a single
router or via an ATM network interface card (NIC). This connection is recommended
when you use an attached NMS or an IP host to transfer information between the host
and a local switch. See “Using Management VC/PVC” on page 4-20.
Management PVC — Connects the NMS or IP host to the switch via an ATM router
or a NIC. You can use this type of connection for all applications that use a switch
(particularly a remote switch) and an attached NMS or IP host. The Management PVC
connection is an actual PVC between the UNI port (connected to the NMS or IP host)
and the remote switch. Management PVC connections prevent overhead management
traffic from burdening the switch. See “Using Management VC/PVC” on page 4-20.

Using Direct Ethernet

To connect the NMS to the switch by using a direct Ethernet connection:
1. Connect one end of the NMS Ethernet wire to the RJ-48 ENET Ethernet port
located on the NPA module (see Figure 4-8).

2. Connect the other end of the NMS Ethernet wire to the LAN on which the switch
resides.
3. Ensure that the Ethernet transceivers are properly connected to the network.
4. See the B-STDX, CBX, and GX Getting Started Guide to configure the NMS
connection.

Using Indirect Ethernet

To connect the NMS to the switch using an indirect Ethernet connection:
1. Connect the NMS to a LAN, using an Ethernet wire.

External T1 Clock Source Connection

Use the instructions in this section only if you want to use an external T1 clock source
for your switch network.
External T1 Clock Description

The T1 timing inputs work with DS1 timing references that comply with the ANSI
T1.102 standard. The T1 timing output takes its timing source from the clock source
on the Timing module as configured via the NMS.
You can configure the T1 operation mode through the NMS. For example, you can
adjust the line buildouts over a range of 0 to 655 feet for T1 timing outputs. For
instructions, see the B-STDX, CBX, and GX ATM Services Configuration Guide.
To connect the external T1 clock, perform the steps provided in the section,
“Connecting the External T1 Clock” on page 4-22.

Connecting the External T1 Clock

To connect an external T1 clock source input or output:
1. At the rear of the switch, remove the protective cover from the T1 wire-wrap pins
on the NPA (see Figure 4-11).
2. Strip the end of a solid 26 AWG wire approximately 1 to 1-1/2 inches.
3. Insert the stripped end of the wire into a wire-wrap gun for a .045 square post.
4. Use the wire-wrap gun to install the wire onto the wire-wrap pins.
5. Reinstall the protective cover onto the wire-wrap pins.

Connecting the External E1 Clock

To connect an external E1 clock-source input or clock output, connect a 75-ohm cable
with a BNC connector to the appropriate E1 BNC ports on the NPA module at the rear
of the switch (see Figure 4-11 on page 4-22).

Remote Alarm Connection

This section describes how to connect remote alarms.
Remote Alarm Signals

The NPA module has an ALARM STATUS DB-26 connector that provides
connections for remote audio and visual alarms. These alarm signals alert you to
critical, major, and minor alarm conditions in the switch. You can use a DB-26 to
18-terminal-block adapter (normally open, contact closed), provided in the accessory
kit, to connect alarm wires to the ALARM STATUS DB-26 connector.
Table 4-2 lists the remote alarm signal names and their pin and terminal number
assignments. Figure 4-12 on page 4-25 shows the pin numbers for the DB-26
connector and the terminal numbers for the terminal block side of the adapter.

Powering Up the GX 550
This chapter describes the following topics:
• Determining the Power Connection Methods
• Obtaining Required Tools and Materials
• Connecting Power Cables to the Switch
• Applying Power to the Switch
Before You Begin

Before connecting power to the switch, verify that the following tasks (mostly from
Chapter 4) are complete:
• Setting up the switch on an equipment rack (see page 4-3)
• Connecting cables and console terminal to the switch (see page 4-13)
• Setting up the NMS (see the B-STDX, CBX, and GX Network Management Station
Installation Guide.)
• Connecting the NMS to the switch if it is the gateway switch (see page 4-16)
• (Optional) Connecting the external clock source inputs and outputs
(see page 4-21)
• (Optional) Connecting the remote alarms (see page 4-24)

Powering Up Overview
Powering Up Overview
Powering up the switch includes the following tasks:
1. Determining the power connection method to use (see below)
2. Obtaining the necessary materials and tools (see page 5-3)
3. Connecting power cables to the switch (see page 5-4)
4. Applying power to the switch (see page 5-7)
Determining the Power Connection Methods

The GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch requires -48 or -60 VDC power. See Table 5-1
to determine which power connection method to use.
Table 5-1. GX 550 Power Connection Methods
Type Description
DC Power Source If you have a DC power source, you can connect

directly to it. You should connect to both sets of
power connectors. To ensure continuous power in the
event of a power source failure, attach each power
cord into a different DC power source, if possible.
DC Input Power Protection Unit If you have a DC power source and want to provide
(DCPPU) additional protection from transients, you can connect
the switch to a DCPPU, i.e., connecting to both sets
of power connectors on the switch. See section “DC
Input Power Protection Unit (DCPPU)” in Chapter 2,
and Appendix A, “Module Specifications” for more
information.
AC-to-DC Rectifier If you have an AC power source, connect the switch

to an AC-to-DC rectifier. See sections “AC-to-DC
Rectifier Unit” in Chapter 2 and “AC-to-DC Rectifier
Unit” in Appendix A for more information. Use only
one set of power connectors on the switch.

Beta Draft Confidential Powering Up the GX 550
Obtaining Required Tools and Materials
Obtaining Required Tools and Materials

To connect power to the switch, you need the following materials and tools:
• DC power cord wires
Note – The wire gauge that you use depends on the distance from the connection
point and also on the system configuration. The maximum power rating of the GX 550
Multiservice WAN switch is 3,000 watts. The actual input voltage can range from -40
to -72 VDC, so the maximum input current is 75 amperes.
• Suitable listed two-hole lugs (e.g., a Panduit LCD4-14D-L) for the grounding,
return, and power studs
• Tool recommended by the lug manufacturer for connecting a two-hole lug to the
power cord
• External Power Alarm cable for the Node Processor Adapter (if you are using an
AC-to-DC rectifier or a DCPPU)
• #2 Phillips-head screwdriver
• 3/8-in. wrench or socket

Connecting Power Cables to the Switch

To connect power cables to the switch, perform the following steps for each set of
power connectors that you will use (see “Determining the Power Connection
Methods” on page 5-2).
Warning – Follow the “DC Power Supply Warnings” and “Safety Warnings” in
Chapter 2.
1. Verify that the correct power source is available (see the section,
“Power Specifications” in Chapter 2).
Warning – Verify that the power is off or disconnected at the source before continuing
with this procedure.
2. Using a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the four screws that secure the
protective cover over the power connectors, and remove the protective cover
(see Figure 5-1). If you are connecting to only one set of power connectors, you
can use either the A or B power connectors (for example, when connecting the
switch to an AC-to-DC rectifier).

3. If necessary, terminate the power, return, and grounding wires in suitable listed
two-hole lugs (e.g., a Panduit LCD4-14D-L), using the tool recommended by the
manufacturer.
4. Using a 3/8-in. wrench or socket, remove the nut and top washer (see Figure 5-2)
from each of the studs that are under the labels -48V, RTN, and . Do not remove
the bottom washer.
5. Install the lug from the grounding wire onto the studs, and ensure that the
grounding wire is connected to an external safety ground.
Note – Lucent recommends that, to provide a single-point ground connection, only

one of the chassis grounds should be connected to earth ground ( ).
6. Install the appropriate lugs from the power cord onto the -48V and RTN studs.
7. Reinstall the washer and nut onto each stud under the labels -48V, RTN, and ,
then use a 3/8-in. wrench or socket to tighten the nuts.
8. Reinstall the protective cover with the four screws (see Figure 5-1 on page 5-4).

9. Repeat step 2 through step 8 if you are connecting to both sets of power
connectors.
10. If you are using an AC-to-DC rectifier or a DCPPU, connect one end of the
External Power Alarm cable to the appropriate connector on the rectifier or the
DCPPU, and connect the other end to the EXT PWR ALARM connector on the
Node Processor Adapter at the rear of the switch (see Figure 5-3).

11. Connect the other end of the main power cords into the power source for the
switch (a direct DC power source, a DCPPU, or an AC-to-DC rectifier). To ensure
continuous power in the event of a power source failure, you should plug each
power cord into a different DC power source, if possible.

Applying Power to the Switch
Applying Power to the Switch
Caution – If the switch is powered up and does not contain a Timing module, the
! cooling fans will not operate and the equipment can be damaged from overheating. Do
not power up the switch unless a Timing module is installed.
The GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch has no power switch. Apply power to the
switch in one of the following ways:
• If you are using an AC-to-DC rectifier, toggle its power switch to the ON position.
• If you are using a DC Power Protection Unit (DCPPU), toggle its power switch to
the ON position.
• If you are connecting the switch directly to a DC power source, set the power
source to the ON position.
What’s Next?
After the hardware installation is complete and the switch is powered up, check the
LEDs to determine the operating status of the switch and of the individual modules as
described in Chapter 6, “Determining the Operating Status.”

What’s Next?

Determining the Operating Status
This chapter describes how to determine the operating status of the GX 550
Multiservice WAN switch and its individual modules by observing the LEDs on each
module. (The node processor adapter has no LEDs.) This chapter includes the
following topics:
• Viewing LEDs
• Module LED Locations
• Switch Status LEDs
• Module Status LED Descriptions
• Port Alarm LEDs
• Redundancy Status LEDs (StnBy)
• Fan Tray LEDs
Viewing LEDs
The condition of each status LED on the switch can be viewed in two ways:
• By viewing the actual LED on the switch.
• By viewing the LED condition through NavisCore on the Network Management
Station (NMS). See the B-STDX, CBX, and GX Switch Diagnostics User’s Guide.

Module LED Locations

The following illustrations show all of the LEDs on each module in the switch, and
include a reference to the description of each LED.

Removal and Installation Precautions
Removal and Installation Precautions

Follow the precautions in the following sections to avoid personal injury and damage
to the equipment.
Parts Repair
Do not attempt to repair parts or modules yourself. Only Lucent-trained service
representatives are authorized to service parts. Contact the Technical Assistance
Center (see page xxxv in the preface, “About This Guide”) for instructions.
Caution – Repairing parts or modules yourself can damage the equipment. Only
! Lucent-trained service representatives are authorized to service parts.
Static Protection
Warning – Static electricity can damage the equipment. Wear an antistatic wrist strap
when handling any of the switch components.
Before handling any of the switch components, put on the antistatic wrist strap that is
provided in the accessory kit, and connect it to the grounding jack on the front or rear
of the switch (see Figure 3-2 on page 3-6).
Electrical Energy Hazard
Warning – When the switch is powered up, an electrical energy hazard is present
within the card cage. Remove all metallic objects from hands and wrists to prevent
bridging of live contact points.

Beta Draft ConfidentialRemoving and Installing Components

This section describes how to remove and install a node processor (NP1 or NP2)
module. For information about the NP2, see Chapter 8, “Node Processor 2 (NP2)”.
Note – If you are upgrading an NP1 to an NP2, you must refer to Chapter 9,
“Upgrading the Node Processor” for detailed instructions regarding this procedure.
Note – Although the GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch can pass cell traffic with no
NP module installed, this is not the recommended mode of operation. Upon
reinsertion of one or both NPs, the BIOs and SFs will reinitialize, causing the cell
traffic flow to stop. Use the recommended procedures for NP removal and
replacement and no cell loss will be incurred.
Removing the NP Module
Warning – The following procedure may make the device susceptible to electrostatic
charge.
To remove the NP1 or NP2 module:

1. Put on the antistatic wrist strap (provided in the accessory kit) and plug it into the
ESD grounding jack on the switch (see Figure 3-1 in Chapter 3).
2. At the front of the switch, grasp the edges of the bezel that covers the SF modules
and NP modules, and pull on the bezel to remove it (see Figure 7-1 on page 7-4).

Caution – Do not remove an active NP module from the switch if the switch is
! powered up. Either switch over to a redundant NP or power down the switch, as
described in step 3.
3. Check the StnBy LED status (see Figure 6-1 in Chapter 6) on the NP module that
you want to remove.
• If the StnBy LED is blinking, continue to step 4. (You are removing a standby
NP module.)
• If the StnBy LED is on (you are removing the active NP module, and a
standby NP is installed), have the NMS operator perform a “switch to
redundant card” operation (see the B-STDX, CBX, and GX Switch Module
Configuration Guide), and then continue to step 4.
• If the StnBy LED is off (you are removing the active NP and no standby NP is
installed), power down the switch and continue to step 4.

4. Using a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver, loosen the thumbscrews located on the left

and right of the NP module (see Figure 7-2).

Upgrading From a BIO1 Module to a BIO2 Module

The following sections describe how to upgrade from a BIO1 module to a BIO2
module.
Upgrade Steps
To upgrade from a BIO1 module to a BIO2 module, perform the following steps:
1. Verify that you have the correct version of software installed for BIO2 support.
2. Review the information in “Removing a BIO Module” on page 7-12 and
“Installing a BIO Module” on page 7-13.
3. Using NavisXtend Tools, run the BIO1 to BIO2 conversion utility by following
the steps in “Performing a Sybase Upgrade Using NavisXtend Tools” on
page 7-16.
4. Remove the existing BIO1 module, using the instructions in “Removing a BIO
Module” on page 7-12.
5. Insert a BIO2 module into the empty slot, using the instructions in “Installing a
BIO Module” on page 7-13.

6. Wait for the configuration to be copied to the BIO2 module, and verify it by
issuing the show copy command from the switch console.
Note – For more information about this console command, see the B-STDX, CBX,
and GX Console Command Reference.
Performing a Sybase Upgrade Using NavisXtend Tools
NavisXtend Tools includes a utility that modifies the Sybase database before you
upgrade from a BIO1 module to a BIO2 module.
Note – This utility works with NavisXtend database version 02.50.02.00 or later. It
automatically checks for the correct version and exits if the version is incorrect.
1. From the HP OpenView window, select Misc NavisXtend Tools. This option
launches a browser. If this is the first time that you are accessing NavisXtend
Tools, the NavisXtend Tools—AutoMake Facility window appears.
2. Choose the Load NavisXtend Tools button. The NavisXtend Tools main menu

and remove the cover. (If you are installing an OC-48/STM-16 phy module, you
may need to remove up to four blank covers.)
3. If you are installing an OC-48/STM-16 phy module and the slot has a center card
guide, perform the following steps:
a. Place a 1/4-in. flathead screwdriver through the circular opening in the center
card guide at the rear of the switch, and loosen the captive screw that holds the
card guide to the backplane of the switch (see Figure 7-16).

Note – You can remove the NPA module from the switch even if the switch is
powered up. There is no need to power down the switch before removal.
Removing the NPA module causes network management connectivity with the switch
to be lost, so you should remove and replace the NPA as quickly as possible. If the
switch is being managed over an in-band ATM connection, NMS connectivity will
remain intact. However, other interfaces provided by the NPA, including external
timing and NPA-provided alarms, are lost during the time the NPA is removed.

(See also the section, “Node Processor Redundancy” in Appendix D.)
• More system memory (768 MB) for system protocol support
• Support for 10/100 BT Ethernet
• Onboard storage of up to one hour of accounting data

Enhanced Functionality
• Faster MPK module processor speed (500 MHz; 100 MHz for system memory)
• Hard disk replaced by flash disk (2 GB) for greater reliability
• Higher console port speed (115,200 bps; 19,200 bps for NP1)
• New type of diagnostics port with EIA-232/RS-232 interface
New Diagnostics and ITP Ports

The new type of diagnostics port on the NP2 provides an EIA-232/RS-232 interface
for diagnostics through a terminal window. The connector interface to the NP2
diagnostics port is an RJ45 serial interface. See the section, “Diagnostics Port for
BIO2 or NP2 Modules” in Appendix B for more information about the NP2’s
diagnostics port.
The ITP (In Target Probe) interface is not for customer use. It provides a connection to
an emulator for design and debugging purposes. The emulator vendor provides the
correct code tap, depending on the operating voltage of the modular processing
kernel’s (MPK’s) daughter card. See the section, “MPK Null Modem Converter” in
Appendix B for more information about the MPK.
NP2 Interoperability With NP1

An NP2 can interoperate with an NP1 within the same switch during an upgrade from
an NP1 to an NP2, without losing switch configuration. There is also interoperability
among NP1- and NP2-based GX 550 switches in permanent configurations at the
same central office switch site.
Valid Active/Standby Configurations
Since the NP2 has 768 MB of RAM and the NP1 has 128 MB of memory, the NP2 can
build a bigger routing database and can store much more billing information than an
NP1. Therefore, the only valid configuration supported in the field are NP1-NP1 and
NP2-NP2, except during the upgrade process. At all other times with an NP1-NP2
redundant combination, the integrity and proper functionality of the switch is not
assured.

Forcing an NP Switchover
Upgrading from an NP1 to an NP2
See Chapter 9, “Upgrading the Node Processor” for detailed instructions regarding the
method of procedure for upgrading an NP1 to an NP2.
Forcing an NP Switchover
Using NavisCore from a remote console connected to the GX 550, perform the
following steps to force an NP switchover in which the redundant (standby) NP
becomes the active NP and the active NP becomes the standby NP:
1. Select the appropriate switch object from the NavisCore network map.
2. If you are not already logged on to NavisCore, select NavisCore Logon from
the Misc menu, and enter your operator password.
3. From the Administer menu, select Lucent Parameters Set Parameters.
The Switch Back Panel dialog box appears for the selected switch.
4. Select the NP module slot (indicated by NPA) on the switch back panel.
(Note: selecting an NP also selects the switching fabric and timing modules).
5. From the Actions options menu on the Switch Back Panel dialog box, select
Switch to Redundant Unit.
6. Choose Go. The SwitchOver dialog box appears, as shown in Figure 8-2.
Figure 8-2. SwitchOver Dialog Box

7. Select Node Processor (NP).
8. Choose OK. The standby NP becomes the active NP, and the active NP becomes
the standby NP.

Configuring and Viewing the NP2 Using NavisCore
Configuring and Viewing the NP2 Using

NavisCore
By default, an installed NP2 is shown as an NP1 in NavisCore unless you select
Node Processor 2 from the Set Card Attributes dialog box, as described in the section,
“Configuring the Node Processor to NP2.”
The following sections describe how to use NavisCore to:

• Set the NP configuration to an NP2, after an NP2 has been installed
• View the current NP configuration
Configuring the Node Processor to NP2

Usually, you configure the NP module attributes after you configure the gateway
switch attributes during the initial installation of a GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch
(as described in the B-STDX, CBX, and GX Getting Started User’s Guide).
Configure the NP module to an NP2 during an upgrade from an NP1 to an NP2, as

follows:
1. Select the appropriate switch object from the NavisCore network map.
2. From the Misc menu, select NavisCore Logon. Enter your operator password.
3. From the Administer menu, select Lucent Parameters Set Parameters.
4. Point to the NP slot (indicated by NPA) on the switch back panel and double-click
the left mouse button. The Set Card Attributes dialog box appears
5. Set the Card Type field to Node Processor 2 in the Set Card Attributes dialog box,
and verify that the other fields are set appropriately, as described in Table 8-1 on
page 8-5.

Upgrading the Node Processor
In the following topics, this chapter describes how to upgrade a node processor (NP or
NP1) to an NP2:
• Introduction
• Prerequisites
• Software Installation
• Upgrading to NP2 in a Non-Redundant Configuration
• NP Redundancy
• Upgrading to NP2s in a Redundant Configuration
• Other Considerations
• Backout Procedure After Upgrading to the NP2
Introduction
The Node Processor 2 (NP2) is a newer version of the original node processor module
(NP or NP1) for the GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch. This chapter describes how to
upgrade an original node processor module to an NP2 in both redundant and
non-redundant configurations. This document also describes how to revert back or
“backout” to NP1s after having upgraded to NP2s

Introduction
Caution – Since the NP2 has 768 MB of RAM and the NP1 has 128 MB of memory,
! the NP2 can build a bigger routing database and can store much more billing
information than an NP1. Therefore, the only valid configurations supported in the
field are NP1-NP1 and NP2-NP2, except during the upgrade or backout process. At all
other times with an NP1-NP2 redundant combination, the integrity and proper
functionality of the switch is not assured.
Note – Read all of the instructions in this chapter and familiarize yourself with all
steps before starting this procedure.
Before starting the upgrade process, you must also review the GX 550 SRN that is
associated with the GX 550 Release you are using to familiarize yourself with any
release-specific information about the NP module. The GX 550 SRN does document
NP2 restrictions that you should be aware of before starting the upgrade process.
Reverting back to the NP1 following upgrade to NP2 is not recommended. See
“Backout Procedure After Upgrading to the NP2” on page 9-27 for more information.

Beta Draft Confidential Upgrading the Node Processor
Prerequisites
Prerequisites
Minimum Software Versions
Note – A minimum of GX 550 Switch Software Release 08.00.03.xx must be

installed and running on the GX 550 switch before you can install an NP2. NavisCore
must be at a minimum revision level of 08.00.03.xx. See the GX 550 Software
Release Notes for the specific minimum patch release version.
Before starting the upgrade process, you must also review the GX 550 SRN that is
associated with the GX 550 Release you are using to familiarize yourself with any
release-specific information about the NP module. The GX 550 SRN does document
NP2 restrictions that you should be aware of before starting the upgrade process.
In addition, the SRN contains information about software revisions, part numbers, file
types and file sizes, build IDs and descriptions, and interoperability among switches.
If you are unsure as to whether you have the required minimum version or required
software, contact the Lucent Technical Assistance Center (TAC). See the “Technical
Support” on page -xxxv for contact information for the TAC.
Before Handling the Equipment

Only a qualified customer or Lucent personnel should perform the procedures in this
document.
when handling any of the switch components. Connect it to one of the ESD grounding
jacks at the front or rear of the switch, as shown in Figure 9-1 on page 9-6.

Software Installation
NP Module Insertion
When inserting horizontally-oriented modules like the NP into the switch chassis, you
must insert them as straight as possible, avoiding excessive movement in both the
horizontal and vertical directions, to avoid deforming or bending the card guides
inside the chassis. This kind of damage to the card guide causes the NP to become
stuck, or otherwise difficult to fully insert without further damage. In extreme cases, a
badly deformed card guide could allow an inserted module to fall completely through,
onto the module below.
Lucent recommends that you insert approximately one-third of the module as straight
as possible into the chassis, and then complete the insertion by placing a single finger
or thumb in the middle of the module and pressing forward with a light, constant
pressure.
Required Tools and Materials

This upgrade procedure requires the following tools and materials:
• A #2 Phillips-head screwdriver
• An antistatic wrist strap
• One Upgrade Kit (Product Code: 13502) containing the following items:
– one NP2 module (Product Code: 11542A)
– this document (970-00110-00)
• A console connection to the GX 550 switch
• Access to NavisCore
Software Installation
1. Refer to “Prerequisites” on page 9-3 for the minimum switch software version
needed to support the NP2 node processor module.
2. Before proceeding, verify that the minimum switch software is installed (see
“Minimum Software Versions” on page 9-3). If it is not installed, refer to the
appropriate SRN for detailed installation instructions and verification.

Upgrading to NP2 in a Non-Redundant Configuration
Upgrading to NP2 in a Non-Redundant

Configuration
Caution – During NP upgrades, the NP2 can be configured as a redundant (standby)
! for an NP1, but an NP1 should not be configured as a redundant (standby) for an NP2.
The exceptions (with limitations) to this recommendation occurs when the NP is

briefly configured as the redundant during this upgrade process (prior to removal of
the NP1) and when reverting back to an NP1 configuration after having upgraded
from NP1 to NP2. See “Backout Procedure After Upgrading to the NP2” on page 9-27
for more information.
To upgrade a non-redundant NP1 to an NP2, you cannot replace the NP1 with an NP2
and then do a PRAM-synch operation. The configuration files will not expand to the
NP2-sized configuration files.
You cannot perform an ‘Erase Standby’ operation on the NP2 when there is an
active NP1. This operation must be performed on an inactive switch.
For non-redundant NP configurations, upgrading from an NP1 to an NP2 consists of

the following tasks:
• Inserting an NP2 as a temporary redundant (standby) NP
• Forcing a switchover to the NP2
• Removing the NP1
These tasks are described in detail in the sections that follow.

For non-redundant NP configurations, upgrading from an NP1 to an NP2 consists of

the following tasks, described in detail, as follows:
1. Verify that the minimum version of software for NP2 support is installed
(see “Minimum Software Versions” on page 9-3.)
2. Put on the antistatic wrist strap and plug it into an ESD grounding jack on the
switch, as shown in Figure 9-1.

3. Remove the bezel that covers the NP and SF modules on the front of the switch.
4. Verify that the three DIP switches on the installed NP1, and on the NP2 that you
want to install, are set to the default recommended mode of operation, in which all
are set to the ON (up) position.

5. On the front of the switch, verify that the NP configuration is non-redundant, as

follows:
a. Verify that there is only one NP1 in either slot 1 or slot 2 (the NP slots).
b. Verify that the StnBy LED on the NP1 is off — this indicates that there is no
standby NP installed.
6. Insert an NP2 into the unused NP slot (temporarily making it the standby NP), as
follows:
a. Ensure that the left and right card ejectors on the NP2 are lifted.
b. At the front of the switch, align the NP2 with the card guides and carefully
slide it into the switch. Press firmly to ensure that it has engaged the
c. Depress the card ejectors simultaneously.
d. Slide the ejector lock to the right.
e. Tighten the thumbscrews located on the left and right of the NP2.
Note – Although a torque driver is not supplied in the GX 550 Multiservice WAN
switch accessory kit, it is recommended that, when tightening thumbscrews with a #2
Phillips-head screwdriver, a maximum of 6 to 8 inch-pounds of torque should be used.
7. Wait until the standby NP2’s StnBy LED is blinking green and the active NP1’s
StnBy LED is solid green. This may take approximately 10 to 30 minutes
(depending on the currently loaded NP2 software, size of the routing tables,
number of line cards, and configuration).

Note – The status of the currently loaded NP2 software determines the copy
operations that occur as follows:
• If the NP2 already has a prior release of the software loaded, the NP2 comes
up in a marginal state.
• If the NP2 has the same application (npn.rom) and bootflash (npnboot.rom) as
the NP1, only the configuration files are copied from the NP1 (and not the line
card images.)
• If the NP2 has no bootflash (blank disk), the NP1 copies its bootflash through
the backchannel to the NP2. All other software is copied through the switch
fabric onto the NP2.
• If the NP2 has only a bootflash, the NP2 loads the bootflash and then copies
all of the software from the NP1 to the NP2 disk.
8. Verify that the card state is active by using the show card state console command.
The display should indicate that slot 1 and slot 2 are both active as shown in the
following example:
show card state

1 Active
2 Active

9. Using NavisCore, perform the following steps to set the node processor
redundancy:
a. Select the appropriate switch object from the NavisCore network map.
b. If you are not already logged on to NavisCore, select NavisCore Logon
from the Misc menu, and enter your operator password.
c. From the Administer menu, select Lucent Parameters Set Parameters.
d. Select the NP module slot (indicated by NPA) on the switch back panel and
double-click the left mouse button. The Set Card Attributes dialog box
appears.
e. Set the Redundancy field to Redundant in the Set Card Attributes dialog box.
f. Select OK.
10. Ensure that the active card has redundancy enabled. To do this, use the show
system console command as shown in the following example.

11. If the NP2 currently has no bootflash loaded, proceed to step 15 on page 9-11. (If
the NP2 has no bootflash, the NP1 automatically copies its bootflash through the
backchannel to the NP2. All other software is copied through the switch fabric
onto the NP2.)
Note that if the NP Redundancy field indicates a value of Enabled, the bootflash
is loaded. If the NP2 does have existing bootflash, wait for the configuration files
to be copied from the active NP1 to the standby NP2 (approximately 30 minutes)
and verify it by using the show copy command from the switch console.
12. Using NavisCore, perform the following steps to download the new GX switch
code:
a. From the NavisCore map, highlight the switch you want to upgrade.(For
details on logging on to NavisCore see the B-STDX, CBX, and GX Getting
Started User’s Guide.)
b. From the Administer menu, select Lucent Switches Download Switch
Software. The Download Switch Software dialog box appears.
c. Select the appropriate switch code.
d. Set the No Cold Boot After Download option.
e. Select the appropriate set to Overwrite (either set A or set B).
f. Select OK.

13. Use the show copy console command to verify that the configuration files have
been copied.The copy operation is complete when the system displays the
following message after you enter the show copy command:
Configuration Initialization States
Toggle Lockout Period is inactive.
Standby is not copying files
Note – Do not proceed until the output from the show copy command indicates that
the configuration files have been copied; otherwise, the configuration files will be
corrupted during the NP switchover.
Re-issue the show copy command approximately every 5 minutes, to monitor the
progress of the copying.
14. Reset the standby card from the console by using the reset card console command
as shown in the following example:
reset card slot-number
Where slot-number is the slot number for the standby card. (Use the show system
command to verify the slot number for the standby card.)
The reset card command resets the specified card and performs the following
functions:
• Checks to verify that redundancy is enabled
• Checks to verify whether the card is in the process of loading, bootstrapping,
warm booting, or synchronization
• Checks to verify whether the PRAM files are copied to the standby
15. Verify that the card state has a status of active. Display the card state status by
using the show card state console command. Note that as the switch code is
loading, the system will display a card state status of loading. Once the switch
code is loaded, the card indicates a status of active.
16. Force an NP switchover so that the standby NP2 that you just inserted becomes
the active NP and the NP1 becomes the standby NP. You can use either the
console or NavisCore to force this switchover.

Using the Console to Force the Switchover

Enter the following console command:
toggle card slot number
Where slot number is the number that identifies the slot that contains the
card.
Using NavisCore to Force the Switchover

1. Use the following steps to force the switchover:
The Switch Back Panel dialog box appears for the selected switch. (For
detailed information about the switch back panel see the B-STDX, CBX, and
GX Getting Started User’s Guide.)
d. Select the NP module slot (labeled NPA) on the switch back panel.
(Note: selecting an NP also selects the switching fabric and timing modules.
You can verify the attributes for the NP module that you have selected by
double-clicking on the slot.)
e. From the Actions menu on the Switch Back Panel dialog box, select
f. Choose Go. The NavisCore SwitchOver dialog box appears.
g. Select Node Processor (NP).
h. Choose OK. The standby NP2 becomes the active NP and the NP1 becomes
the standby NP.
i. Wait for the NP2 to become the active NP (as shown by the module’s LED).

2. Change the console port speed for the terminal session to 115,200 bits per second,
for the reasons described in the following note.
Note – For the Pentium boards on the NP2, the console speed is 115,200 bps. For the
NP1, the console speed is 19,200 bps. With a switchover from an NP1 to an NP2, the
console speed must be increased; otherwise unintelligible characters appear on the
screen.
The console session becomes inoperable during an NP switchover between NP1s and
NP2s. You can re-establish the session by changing the console port speed, as
appropriate.
3. By default, NavisCore regards the NP2 that you just inserted to be an NP1, so you
must explicitly set it to be a non-redundant NP2 within NavisCore, as follows:
b. From the Misc menu, select NavisCore Logon. Enter your operator
password.
d. Select the NP slot (indicated by NPA) on the switch back panel and
appears.
e. Set the Card Type field to Node Processor 2.
f. Set the Redundancy field to Stand Alone, and verify that the other fields are
set correctly (see Table 9-1 on page 9-25).
g. Choose OK to save the attributes or choose Cancel to exit from the dialog
box. The Switch Back Panel dialog box reappears. If you selected OK, the
Switch Back Panel dialog box displays the configured NP.
4. Remove the standby NP1, as follows:
a. Put on the antistatic wrist strap and plug it into one of the ESD grounding
jacks on the switch (see Figure 9-1 on page 9-6).
b. Verify that the StnBy LED is blinking green on the NP1 that you want to
remove — this indicates that it is the standby NP.

c. Using a #2 Phillips-head screwdriver, loosen the thumbscrews located on the

left and right of the NP1.
d. Slide the ejector lock to the left to disconnect the NP1 from the switch.
e. Lift the left and right card ejectors simultaneously to disengage the NP1 from
the switch.
f. Slide the NP1 out of the switch, and place it in an antistatic container.
5. Re-install the front bezel that covers the NP and SF modules.

NP Redundancy
NP Redundancy
Redundant NP modules (active and standby) monitor each other's integrity through
the use of a keep-alive protocol. A redundancy manager in each NP exchanges
keep-alive messages over the cell bus.
The redundancy scheme provides a fault-tolerant system. If an NP fails, the

switchover to the standby NP does not cause a loss of data, because data is transferred
through the SF, and the Virtual Network Navigator (VNN) routing tables reside on the
BIOs.
For detailed information about how to monitor an NP module, see the B-STDX, CBX,
and GX Switch Diagnostics User’s Guide.
Active NP Failure
If the standby NP detects a failure in the active NP:
1. The standby NP disables the active NP and performs a warm boot to become the
active NP.
2. The new active NP isolates the failed NP, using special redundancy hardware.
3. The new active NP keeps the old active NP isolated until it is fully booted up.
When the old active NP finishes booting, it then acts as the standby NP and begins to
send keep-alive polls to the new active module.
Standby NP Failure
If the active NP detects any failure in the standby NP, it disables and isolates the
standby NP and reports the problem to the NMS.
PRAM Synchronization
• Both SNMP and TFTP mechanisms are used to keep the PRAM of redundant NP
modules synchronized.

Upgrading to NP2s in a Redundant Configuration
• All PRAM downloads go to the active NP module. After the active NP receives a
new PRAM, it downloads the new PRAM to its redundant partner.
• The active NP monitors the PRAM in the standby NP and automatically
downloads the PRAM if a mismatch is detected.
Upgrading to NP2s in a Redundant

Configuration
Caution – During NP upgrades, the NP2 can be configured as a redundant (standby)
! NP for an NP1, but an NP1 cannot be configured as a standby NP for an NP2.
For redundant NP configurations, upgrading from NP1s to NP2s consists of the

following tasks:
• Replacing the redundant (standby) NP1 by an NP2
• Forcing an NP switchover to the NP2
• Replacing the remaining NP1 by another NP2
These tasks are described in detail, as follows:

1. Verify that the minimum version of software for NP2 support is installed
(see “Minimum Software Versions” on page 9-3.)
2. Put on the antistatic wrist strap (provided in the accessory kit) and plug it into one
of the ESD grounding jacks on the switch (see Figure 9-1 on page 9-6).
4. Verify that the three DIP switches on the installed NP1s, and on the NP2s that you
5. On the front of the switch, verify that the NP configuration is redundant, as
follows:
a. Verify that there are NP1s in both of slots 1 and 2 (the NP slots).

b. Verify that the StnBy LED is blinking green on one of the NPs (to indicate the
standby NP), and solid green on the other NP (to indicate the active NP).
6. Remove the standby NP1 as follows:
jacks on the switch
left and right of the standby NP1.
d. Slide the ejector lock to the left to disconnect the standby NP1 from the
switch.
e. Lift the left and right card ejectors simultaneously to disengage the standby
NP1 from the switch.

Redundancy Select Stand Alone if you have a non-redundant NP configuration. Select

Redundant if you have a redundant NP installed in the switch.
Card Type Node Processor – (default) The original node processor, or NP1.
Node Processor 2 – The new node processor, or NP2.
Admin Status Select one of the following:

Up – (default) The NP module becomes fully operational when you start the
switch. To become operational, the module gets its application code from the
NP disk drive.
Down – The NP module does not come online when you start the switch. The
configuration is saved in the switch configuration table, but is not downloaded
to the switch. Use this option when running foreground diagnostics.
Maintenance – The NP module does not receive the application code when
you start the switch. A module in this state runs only from boot code. This
setting enables you to reset PRAM for a module that is failing to boot due to
invalid PRAM. You can also use this option to troubleshoot a possible
hardware problem.

Other Considerations
Other Considerations
Downgrading an NP2 to an NP1
Caution – After traffic stabilizes with more than 100 logical ports, physical ports, or
! trunks provisioned (or more than 100 hours of subscriber data) you cannot downgrade
an NP2 to an NP1 because the NP2 supports a much larger configuration database
than the NP1. With a smaller NP2 configuration database, it is possible to downgrade,
or backout to an NP1 configuration. See “Backout Procedure After Upgrading to the
NP2” on page 9-27 for more information.
Minimum Hardware Versions

Refer to the appropriate Software Release Notice (SRN) for information about the
interoperability among software revisions and minimum hardware revisions.
Additionally, must review the GX 550 SRN that is associated with the GX 550
Release you are using to familiarize yourself with any release-specific information
about the NP module.
Obsolete NP1 Software Image on the Standby NP

If an active NP2 detects an obsolete NP1 software image on the standby NP, the
standby NP will be inactivated and must be removed from the switch.
Obsolete NP1 Software Image on the Active NP

A switch that has obsolete NP1 software on the active NP and an NP2 as the standby
NP behaves as though both the active and standby NPs are NP1s. You must upgrade
the software on the active NP and reset the switch.

Backout Procedure After Upgrading to the NP2

Caution – If there are more than 100 logical ports, physical ports, or trunks
! provisioned (or more than 100 hours of subscriber data), Lucent recommends that you
do not attempt this backout procedure because the NP2 supports a much larger
configuration database than the NP1.
• Only a qualified customer or Lucent personnel should perform the procedures in

this document.
• This backout procedure requires the following tools and materials:
– A #2 Phillips-head screwdriver
– An antistatic wrist strap
– A console connection to the GX 550 switch
– Access to NavisCore
– One NP1 with preloaded software release (minimum 08.00.03.xx) for a
non-redundant configuration or
two NP1s with preloaded software release (minimum 08.00.03.xx) for a
redundant configuration
To revert back, or back-out to using NP1s after a previous upgrade to NP2s, perform
one of the following procedures, depending on whether the NP configuration is
non-redundant or redundant:
• “Backout Procedure for Non-Redundant Configuration” on page 9-28
• “Backout Procedure for Redundant Configuration” on page 9-31

Backout Procedure for Non-Redundant Configuration
For a non-redundant NP2 configuration, perform the following steps to revert back to
a non-redundant NP1 configuration:
2. Verify that you have an available NP1 with preloaded software release (minimum
08.00.03.xx).
4. Verify that the three DIP switches on the installed NP2, and on the NP1 that you
5. On the front of the switch, verify that the NP configuration is non-redundant, as
follows:
a. Verify that there is only one NP2 in either slot 1 or slot 2 (the NP slots).
b. Verify that the StnBy LED on the NP2 is off — this indicates that there is no
6. Insert the NP1 (loaded with a minimum of 08.00.03.xx software) into the unused
NP slot (temporarily making it the standby NP).
7. The standby NP1 loads the boot image and application image and copies the
configuration files from the active NP2.
Wait until the standby NP1’s Good LED (the LED for module status, nearest to
the right edge) is either solid green or slowly blinking green. This may take
approximately 20-30 minutes (depending on the size of the routing tables, number
of line cards, and configuration).
StnBy LED is solid green — this indicates that there is NP redundancy.

9. Using NavisCore, perform the following steps to set the node processor

d. Select the NP module slot (indicated by NPA) on the switch back panel and
appears.
e. Set the Redundancy field to Redundant in the Set Card Attributes dialog box.
f. Select OK.

Troubleshooting
This chapter provides general troubleshooting information for the GX 550
Multiservice WAN switch. Unless otherwise noted, this chapter addresses only
hardware problems and their most probable solutions. If you suspect software
problems, see the troubleshooting information in the B-STDX, CBX, and GX Switch
Troubleshooting Guide.
This chapter includes the following topics:

• Power-up Diagnostics for the Node Processor and Base Input/Output Modules
• Switch Troubleshooting
• BIO Module Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting
Power-up Diagnostics for the Node Processor and Base Input/Output Modules
Power-up Diagnostics for the Node Processor

and Base Input/Output Modules
The following sections describe how power-up diagnostics work, the equipment
required to display power-up diagnostic results, and how to run and display power-up
diagnostics for a module.
Power-up Diagnostics Overview

If power-up diagnostics detect an error in a module, the module shuts down and the
Failed module status LED comes on. If no errors are detected, the system software
executes and brings the module up.
Equipment Requirements
To display the status of any node processor (NP) or base input/output (BIO) module’s
power-up diagnostics, connect a console terminal to the diagnostic port located on the
module’s front panel. Use the diagnostics cable provided in the accessory kit.
Enabling and Displaying Power-Up Diagnostics

Enabling and displaying power-up diagnostics depends on the setting of the
two-position DIP switches located on the front of the NP and BIO modules.
Figure 10-1 shows the locations of the three DIP switches on an NP module. These are
the same for the NP1 and for the NP2, which is described in Chapter 8. The DIP
switches are horizontally aligned and numbered as 1 to 3 from left-to-right (with
toggling switch movement on-off, from top-to-bottom).

Switch Troubleshooting
Node Processor Reboot of BIO Modules

When the first two DIP switches on the front of the NP module are both in the ON (top)
position, the NP module polls the slots on the switch to verify the operation of all
modules. If the NP module polling mechanism detects a failure in a BIO module slot,
it reboots the module. However, if either of the first two positions on the NP module
DIP switch is in the OFF (bottom) position, the NP cannot reboot failed modules.

DC Input Power Protection Unit

The DC input power protection unit (DCPPU) provides the GX 550 Multiservice
WAN switch with additional protection from transients when the switch is connected
to a DC power source (transients can cause the switch to reboot, resulting in minutes
of downtime).
If you are using an AC power source, you do not need to use a DCPPU because the
rectifier has built-in transient protection.

Setting Up Redundant Modules

To set up a pair of redundant modules:
1. Install the redundant modules (see Chapter 7, “Removing and Installing
Components”) in the appropriate slots:
• Redundant NPs must be installed in slots 1 and 2 (see Figure D-1).
• Redundant SFs must be installed in slots 1A and 1B (see Figure D-1).
• Redundant timing modules must be installed in slots 1C and 1D
(see Figure D-2 on page D-3).

2. Specify the active and the standby module with the NMS (see the B-STDX, CBX,
and GX Switch Module Configuration Guide).

Module Redundancy
Node Processor Redundancy

Redundant NP modules (active and standby) monitor each other's integrity through
the use of a keep-alive protocol. A redundancy manager in each NP exchanges
keep-alive messages over the cell bus. See Chapter 8, “Node Processor 2 (NP2)” for
information about upgrading from NP1s to NP2s.
Note – During NP upgrades, the NP2 can be configured as a redundant (standby) NP

for an NP1, but an NP1 cannot be configured as a standby NP for an NP2.
Active NP Failure
The NP module configured as the standby partner continually polls the active NP
module for its operational status. If the standby NP detects a failure in the active NP:
1. The standby NP disables the active NP and performs a warm boot to become the
active NP.
2. The new active NP isolates the failed NP, using special redundancy hardware.
3. The new active NP keeps the old active NP isolated until it is fully booted up.
4. When the old active NP finishes booting, it then acts as the standby NP and begins
to send keep-alive polls to the new active module.
Standby NP Failure
The NP module configured as the standby NP has an internal “watchdog” that
continually polls the standby NP for its operational status. If the watchdog detects any
failure in the standby NP, it disables and isolates the standby NP and reports the
problem to the NMS.

PRAM Synchronization
Both SNMP and TFTP mechanisms are used to keep the PRAM of redundant NP
modules synchronized.
All PRAM downloads go to the active NP module. After the active NP receives a new
PRAM, it downloads the new PRAM to its redundant partner.
The active NP monitors the PRAM in the standby NP and automatically downloads
the PRAM if a mismatch is detected.
If you install a standby NP that does not contain boot flash or application code, the
active NP automatically downloads them to the standby NP.
NP Switchovers
The redundancy scheme provides a fault-tolerant system. If an NP fails, the
switchover to the standby NP does not cause a loss of data, because data is transferred
through the SF, and the Virtual Network Navigator (VNN) routing tables reside on the
BIOs. During the NP reboot, new PVCs/SVCs can be established and rerouting of
existing PVCs/SVCs can occur for this node, but no IP routing can occur through this
node (i.e., no NMS traffic).
Manual Switchover of Active NP

The NMS enables a user to manually switch operation from an active NP module to
the standby NP module. Lucent recommends that you perform a manual switchover to
the standby NP before removing an active NP (see the B-STDX, CBX, and GX Switch
Module Configuration Guide). The resulting reset process is the same as if the standby
module detected a failure with the active module.
Note – Selecting the standby NP during a manual switchover also selects the
switching fabric and timing modules simultaneously.

Module Redundancy
Switch Fabric and Timing Module Redundancy
Switch Fabric and Timing Module Redundancy

The active NP module continually monitors the health and operational status of the
active SF and timing modules.
Active Switch Fabric or Timing Module Failure

If the NP detects a failure in the active SF or timing module, it initiates a switchover to
the standby SF or timing module and reports the problem to the NMS.
Active Switch Fabric or Timing Module Removal

If you remove an active SF or timing module, the NP automatically initiates a
switchover to a standby module if one is present.
Caution – Operating the GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch with no timing module
! will shut down the cooling fans and can cause equipment damage from overheating.
If no standby timing module is installed, power down the switch before removing the
timing module.
Manual Switchover of Active SF or Timing Module

The NMS enables a user to manually switch operation from an active SF or timing
module to the standby module (see the B-STDX, CBX, and GX Switch Module
Configuration Guide).

GX 550 ES Downlink Phy Module Redundancy
GX 550 ES Downlink Phy Module Redundancy

determine whether the GX 550 ES is supported in your current release
Redundancy of the GX 550 ES downlink phy module is achieved by installing two

independent GX 550 ES downlink phy modules in the GX 550 Multiservice WAN
switch and designating one as active and the other as standby.
For optimum fault coverage, connect each downlink phy module into a 1:1 redundant
BIO module. Fault monitoring and switchover from the active to the standby module
is controlled by GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch software.
Each GX 550 ES downlink phy module must connect to one uplink phy module in the
GX 550 ES, by using a standard multimode fiber cable.
Redundancy Status
The GX 550 ES downlink phy module does not have a redundancy status LED, so the
redundancy status of each downlink phy module can be read via the NavisCore NMS.
For more information, see the B-STDX, CBX, and GX Switch Module Configuration
Guide.

Module Redundancy
Redundancy Status (StnBy) LEDs

The NP, SF, and timing modules each have a StnBy LED to indicate whether the
module is the active module or the standby module.
Redundancy Status LED (StnBy) on Node Processor

Fiber Cable Management
This appendix describes the optional fiber cable management system which can be
used with the GX 550 Multiservice WAN switch.
Fiber Cable Management Tray

The fiber cable management tray attaches directly to the GX 550 Multiservice WAN
switch chassis and allows for adjustable management of the fiber-optic cables plugged
into the rear of the switch.
Note – This fiber cable management tray may only be used on a GX 550 Multiservice
WAN switch installed in an open frame equipment rack. It is not designed for use in an
enclosed equipment rack.
The fiber cable management tray (Product code: 11666) can be purchased from
Lucent Technologies. Figure E-1 on page E-2 details the different parts of the fiber
cable management tray.
