DUL 20 Configuration

The DUL can be configured via

  • OSS-RC (Ericsson operations support system-radio and core - a centralized server)
  • EMA (Element Manager - a Windows WebUI utility)
  • moshell (a java based command line utility - runs on linux)
  • ncli (a command line utility which runs on the DUL itself)

Configuration tools

EMA - Element Manager

There are different versions of this tool. An ancient version can be downloaded from the DUL itself:
http://169.254.1.10/em/index.html

ncli

With the ncli basic operations can be performed. However the ncli usually doesn't have a ManagedObject tree loaded which means it doesn't know which attributes an ManagedObject can have.

moshell

The most powerful tool to configure the DUL. It loads the ManagedObject on startup. But can also operate offline on backups.
See moshell for further information.

Backup & Recover

A backup of the DUL can be created via ftp and serial.
The serial is required to boot into the recovery mode.

Boot DUL into recovery

Configure the serial connection to 9600 baud (alternative 115200).
Restart the DUL by removing the power for 5 seconds.
If the connection is working a boot message is shown:

OSE Delta PowerPC/BL410660

Welcome to OSE Shell OSE5.5.
$

Enter the recovery state:

$ reload --
[..]
Stop due to remain in basic/backup set

Verify the address of the LMT B interface.

$ ifconfig
le0: inet 169.254.1.10 netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast 169.254.255.255

If the address is not correct, the address can be set by:

$ ifconfig le0 169.254.1.10 netmask 255.255.0.0

The DUL should be reachable by icmp/ping and ftp.

Backup

Backup the "partitions" /c and /d from the DUL to be safe.
/c and /d contains configuration and system files, application and firmwares.
The DUL supports a ftp service.

Note: /c is mounted as /c2 in the recovery.

Mount the volume of c2 on the DUL first.

$ mount_c2
$

Use your local ftp terminal to get all data. Either graphical client or text.
As an example gftp (text version) is used in a terminal on the laptop.

Cleanup old states

The DUL doesn't support a factory reset method other than installing the software from the scratch using the Recovery method.

It's unsure to what the license is bound. It's expected to bound to a uniqueName or the logicalName.
License issues will show up in the alarm list `al`.
