1.2.
A UNEM can handle one CID only. Therefore you cannot manage UMUXs with
different CID with the same UNEM.
If you create a new entry of a NE in the UCST dialogue Managed NEs then the
current CID of the UCST is part of this new created entry.
Even if you change the CID of the UCST with the tool "Customer Identifier
Setup" the existing Managed NEs entries keep their old CID!
Therefore it is possible to have two names (entries) in the Managed NEs section,
one with the old CID and one with the new CID!
The UMUX_oldcid was added with the original CID definition, the
UMUX_newcid was added after you modified the CID (see Step 3 below).
As soon as you apply a download to a UMUX then the current UCST CID is
stored in the UMUX independent of the selected name in the Managed NEs list.

Step 1:
Establish a connection to the NE containing the CID_old with the existing Managed NEs
name UMUX_oldcid.
This step is to check the Prerequisites described above.
Step 2:
If everything works fine, close the UCST.
Step 3:
Modify the CID with the tool "Customer Identifier Setup". You find this tool in the
windows menu

Step 4:
Open the UCST again
Step 5:
Upload the config of the UMUX with the Managed NE name UMUX_oldcid.
Step 6:
Apply a partial download The new CID is set now in the UMUX.
Step 7:
Add a new Managed NE name UMUX_newcid with the same parameters as the
UMUX_oldcid.
You can now connect to the UMUX with the UMUX_newcid only!

Step 1:
Establish a connection to the NE containing the CID_old with the existing Managed NEs
name UMUX_oldcid.
Apply an upload and store the configuration in a file.
Step 2:
Modify the CID with the tool "Customer Identifier Setup". Define as CID the CID_new
where CID_new could also be an empty CID (means no CID).
As an alternative you can also do a new installation of the whole UCST. This could also be
done with a newer UCST version. Define the CID_new during the installation process
where CID_new could also be an empty CID (means no CID).
Note: You can install several UCSTs in parallel on the same PC, one with the CID_old and
another with the CID_new.
After the installation, define the Managed NE name UMUX_newcid with the default IP
address:
Node ID:
10.1.1.1.
Set on your EM also the UCST RAS direct on F IP address to 10.1.1.200.
Step 3:
Remove the central controller unit COBU<x> and replace it with a new one. You do not
have to power off the UMUX.
You loose the traffic for about 3 minutes.
Step 4:
Wait until the new central unit COBU<x> has rebooted. Connect then to the UMUX with
the new created Managed NE name UMUX_newcid with the default IP addresses.

wrong configuration identifier. Proceed now a full download.

address "0".
Step 3:
Remove the central controller unit CENCA and replace it with a new one. You do not have
to power off the UMUX.
You loose the traffic for about 3 minutes.
Step 4:
Wait until the new central unit CENCA has rebooted. Connect then to the UMUX with the
new created Managed NE name UMUX_newcid with the default HDLC address "0".

Step 2:
Remove the FLASH-card from the COBU<x> and insert it into a PC with a PCMCIA slot.
This PC must be capable to access the FLASH card. Therefore you need to run a designated
software. Ask your PC vendor for such a software.
Step 3:
Delete on the FLASH-card ALL directories except the FW.
Step 4:
This is also a possibility to copy or replace any unit firmware files: Copy all necessary unit
firmware files into the \FW\ directory.

Step 5:
After the PC has finished writing/deleting on the FLASH-card remove it from the PC and
insert it back into the COBU<x>.
Some PCs take a long time to handle files on the FLASH-card. If you remove a
FLASH-card from the PC before all files are written/deleted then the FLASH-card
becomes corrupted. So give the PC enough time to write/delete all the files!
Note: Writing several unit software files to the FLASH-card can last up to several
minutes.
Step 6:
Insert the FLASH-card back into the COBU<x> hardware.
The COBU<x> unit is now renewed and available for use in the UMUX1200 and
UMUX1500.

Step 1:
Place the CENCA on a suitable work surface.
Please be aware that the CENCA hardware is sensitive to electrostatic discharges.
Step 2:
Remove the FLASH-EEPROM (DIL 32 case) out of position A and place it in position B.
Step 3:
Insert the CENCA in a powered UMUX1100 or UMUX1300. You can insert it in any free
slot. Leave the unit at least 30 seconds in the shelf and then remove it again.
Note: This erases automatically the whole content of the FLASH_EEPROM.
The CENCA unit is now renewed and available for use in the UMUX1100 and UMUX1300.

Step 1:
You need to have a UCST installation with the same CID definition as configured on the
UMUX you want to manage.
Check whether you are able to connect with the UCST to one of the UMUX. If this is
possible then you are sure that both CIDs, the one in the UCST installation and the one
downloaded in the UMUX, matches together.
Step 2:
Locate on your EM the UCST home directory. The default location is
c:\Program files\uCST Rxy
but this will vary depending on the individual installation.
Open the file ucst.ini and scroll down to the end of the file. There you find the section
[UCST Rxy] similar to this:
[UCST Rxy]
CstId=24872
PWD124872=15998
PWD224872=38416
PWD324872=2501
PWD424872=52957

You must now copy all the entries of your UCST to the UNEM installation.
Step 3:
Log in on your workstation as the unemadm.
unemadm Close
Step 4:
Open the File Manager.
Change to the folder
/unem/cst
and edit the file ucst.ini. At the bottom of the file you find the section [UCST Rxy] similar to
this:
[UCST Rxy]
CstId=0
PWD10=27762
PWD20=33558
PWD30=55754
PWD40=21967
The "0" at the end of the line "CstId=0" tells you that there is no CID set yet.
You now have to update all 5 lines according the read-out of the UCST (step 2).
Step 5:
You now have to restart the UNEM core components:
Apply the "Status Start Start Core Components ONLY" command and wait until all
Core Components are running.

Step 6:
You now have to delete ALL Managed NE's entries and re-add them from new.
Note: You remember that the CID is also stored in the Managed NE's entries. That's why
you have to recreate them.
Step 7:
Add the NE symbol to your map for all NEs.
The UNEM should now discover, upload and manage the NEs.
