Depending on what versions is on the active and inactive, the software installer will minimize the need for
transfer between web client and element. If the software is not complete after first tar, you have to choose the
second tar file. If the package becomes complete on the element, you are allowed to switch the software.
Use the SU SW Versions tab and click on Switch Software tab. The SU will restart, so the connection to the
WEB server is lost. You should be able to log in again after a short while.
Please note that with SW version R4Bxx information about the current SU is stored in the IFU Basic Frame.
As a result the SU has to be activated after the first restart running R4Bxx. Press the Set Current SU active
button displayed in figure 2.
The new package contains new revisions of XCVR Appl. SW as well as XCVR FPGA code. Both files will
be downloaded to the XCVR unit automatically. Please note that this may take several minutes to complete.

7. KNOWN PROBLEMS
7.1 OSPF ROUTER
There is a known intermittent problem with the resolution of inter area routes
if an area connects to the backbone through more than one Area Border Router(ABR).
In this case routing may fail if multiple ABR's announce the same inter area destinations at different costs.
Workaround:
Use one ABR until a new SW version that fixes this problem is released.
7.2 T1/E1 WAYSIDE CAN ONLY BE INSERTED IN ONE CHANNEL PR. IFU BASIC
FRAME
Support for 2 channels will be available later.
7.6 GIGABIT INTERFACE UNIT (GIU) AND 2+0 311MB/S IN ONE IFU BASIC FRAME
2+0 configuration with Gigabit Interface Unit using one single IFU Basic Frame is not supported in R5A00.
The following systems are valid for the Gigabit Interface Unit when running 311Mb/s channels:
1+0, 1+1, HSB using one single IFU Basic Frame. Total capacity 311Mb/s over the radio hop.
2+0 using two IFU Basic Frames. Total capacity 622Mb/s over the radio hop.
