1.1
System components
The AIReach Office System (AIReach OS) is a wireless
communications system designed to provide in–building voice
communications. The System is integrated with an existing hard
wired PBX phone system.
The AIReach OS is driven by an industrial computer that
processes cellular telephone calls. Operators use this computer, the
System Controller, to configure, control, monitor, and troubleshoot
the system.
The System Controller has most of the functionality of larger
macro cell Operation and Maintenance Centers (OMCs), including
Base Station Controllers (BSCs) and Mobile Switching Centers
(MSCs). These functions run as applications under Microsoft
Windows NT on the System Controller, which is equipped with
special cards to enable telephony support.

The System Controller is rack or table mounted in close proximity
to the PBX.
The picocells are small Base Transceiver Stations (BTSs) designed
to be mounted on office walls throughout a building. They are line
powered and connected to the System Controller using CAT 5 T1
cables.
The OMC functions of the AIReach OS can be performed at a
specially configured (customer provided) remote computer. This
computer can be located on an internal corporate LAN and
provide the network administrator with the ability to monitor and
control the system without having to be physically at the System
Controller location.

System Controller
The System Controller consists of the following components:
• A Windows NT computer with an internal floppy disk
drive, a read/write CD–ROM drive, a 20–slot backplane,
and system software
• Telephony cards to support the AIReach OS. (For a
complete description, see Chapter 5.)
• A rack mounted 17–inch color monitor
• A rack mounted keyboard with integrated touchpad
Hardware
The standard (factory) configuration includes the System
Controller with monitor and keyboard with integrated touchpad. A
telco rack is optional.
There are three options for mounting the System Controller:
• Desktop mount
• Chassis slide mount
• Full rack mount (illustrated in Figure 1-3)
The Controller front panel has a power switch and indicators for
disk activity, CD–ROM read and write activity, and power supply
status. The Controller keyboard connects to the rear panel or
behind the locking front access door.
A remote computer, if used, connects to the System Controller
through a LAN or dial–up modem connection, using Windows NT
Remote Access Server (RAS).

Picocell
components
The picocell consists of a backplane covered by an external
housing and contains the following internal components:
• Master oscillator: Provides a reference frequency for
picocell signal timing.
• Power supply: Converts the –48 Vdc input power to –6.5
Vdc for internal picocell operation.
• Transceivers: Each traffic picocell includes up to four
transceivers, with each transceiver providing three full–rate
TDMA channels. One channel is used as the digital control
channel (DCCH) to provide access information to the
mobiles. The remaining full–rate channels are used as
digital traffic channels (DTC). Each picocell can handle 11
mobile voice channels simultaneously, when fully loaded.
Each mobile phone requires one voice channel.
Transceivers are used only in traffic picocells.
• Scanning receiver: This module is used in scanning or
traffic picocells to monitor the transmitter signal strength of
the neighboring base stations. One scanner (maximum) is
used per scanning picocell.
• Picocell Controller: This module is the processor of the
picocell. It configures and controls the transceivers
operation using a proprietary protocol via the ST–BUS. The
Picocell controller uses one T1 slot to communicate with
the System Controller. The remaining slots are used to
provide bearer services.
• Antenna and branching module: The transmit and
diversity receivers of the installed transceivers are
combined and split in this module. The picocell has a 360°
omnidirectional radiation pattern in azimuth.
• Locking tab, lock, and key: The lock and key secure the
picocell to the locking tab on the mounting plate.
• Mounting plate: To ensure secure mounting, the installer
attaches a mounting plate to the wall, and then mounts the
picocell to the mounting plate.

Adding cards to the
System Controller
(first steps)
In addition to the factory–installed cards listed in Section 2.3, the
Site Configuration Report may specify additional cards:
• Additional Quad T1 cards
(up to 5 additional, for a total of 6)
• A TX2000 SS7 card
• A second conference card
• A second LAN card
If you need to replace, move, or remove a Quad T1 card see
Chapter 14 for important instructions.
To install a card in the System Controller, follow these steps:
1.
2.
Make sure the Controller is powered off.
Remove the Controller chassis cover, as follows:
a. Loosen the five spring–loaded Phillips head screws at
the rear (top) of the chassis (Figure 2-8).
b. Remove the chassis top cover by lifting the back edge
of the cover (approximately 1 inch) and then sliding
the cover toward the rear of the chassis.
Use care to avoid damaging the copper finger stock under
the front of the cover.

CAUTION
Before removing or installing electronic
components, make sure static electricity
has been discharged from yourself and any
object that may contact the component.
Wear a new or recently tested anti–static
wrist strap and use an anti–static pad while
handling components.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in damage to components.
4.
2–12 Adding cards to the System Controller
Check all dual inline package (DIP) switch and jumper
settings. You may need to change some settings. See
Section 2.5, Jumper and DIP switch settings.
1026209– 0001 Revision B
2.5
Jumper and DIP
switch settings
This section specifies all jumper and DIP switch settings for all
System Controller cards.
Before adding or replacing any card in the System Controller,
make sure all jumper switches and DIP switches on the new
card are set correctly. You may need to change some settings,
and should check all jumpers and switches to make sure they are
set correctly.
Note that for Quad T1, TX2000, and conference cards, settings are
different depending on whether the card is the first of its type
installed, or is a subsequently installed card of the same type.
The instructions below tell you which jumpers and DIP switches
you need to change, and they specify the correct settings for all
jumpers and switches (including those that do not need to be
changed). This is so you can check all settings and correct them if
necessary.
If you experience a problem with a card, make sure all jumpers
and DIP switches are set as specified here before contacting HNS
for customer support.
The jumper and switch settings indicated in the following sections
have been established for the combination of cards used the
AIReach System Controller. Do not use other settings.
Quad T1 card
DIP switches
The only option on the Quad T1 card is to set DIP switch S1

Adding cards to the System Controller 2–13
A Quad T1 card is factory installed in slot 9. When only one Quad
T1 card is installed (or if the card is replaced), set all S1 switches
to ON (terminated). This is the default setting.
If you add a Quad T1 card (in slots 4 through 8), the setting for
switch S1 depends on where the card is on the H.100 bus:
• If the Quad T1 card is the first or last Quad T1 card on the
H.100 bus, set all S1 switches to ON (H.100 bus
terminated).
• For cards that are not first or last on the H.100 bus, set all
S1 switches to OFF (unterminated). See Figure 2-10.
Termination reduces line noise caused by signal reflection off the
two ends of the bus, and is critical for correct transmission of
referenced T1 clock signals.
Switches S2 through S5 are factory configured with the following
default settings: Sx–1 and Sx–5 ON, and all others OFF. Do not
change these settings. Switches S2 through S5 may be covered
with an adhesive label.
MVIP bus
If the System Controller has two or more Quad T1 cards, the
ends of the MVIP bus should not be terminated. Remove jumpers
JP14 and JP16 from the TX2000 IP card in slot 16 (the last card
on the MVIP bus).

TX2000 IP and
TX2000 SS7 cards
This section applies to both the TX2000 IP card (factory installed
in slot 16) and the TX2000 SS7 (optional, slot 15). Most settings
are the same for both cards; those that are different are clearly
pointed out.
The key settings to check on the TX2000 cards are the IRQ and
I/O address. All jumpers other than JP7 (IRQ selection) should be
left in their factory default positions.
Jumpers
Make sure the IRQ selection jumper is in position 7, as shown in
Figure 2-11. (The factory default is IRQ 10. “NO” disables the
ISA bus.) Use IRQ 7 only.

card types, except the MVIP bus termination jumpers, JP14 and
JP16. For the TX2000 SS7 card, jumpers JP14 and JP16
should not be connected under any circumstances. (Not
connected is the default setting for the TX2000 SS7 card.)
I/O address
For the TX2000 IP card, the I/O address selection (DIP switch S1)
is factory set to 0xD4000. If you add a TX2000 SS7 card, set the
TX2000 SS7 card address to OxD6000, as shown in Figure 2-11.
To set DIP switch 1, set all switches up, to ON, then push the
switches down (OFF) for the positions marked with an underscore
( __ ) in Table 2-2 . The addresses in Table 2-2 are provided for
troubleshooting purposes only. When installing a card, use only
the address specified above.

Single board computer
(SBC)
In the event of a problem with the SBC (slot 12), make sure DIP
switch SW1 is set correctly, depending on the installed CPU, and
check all jumpers.
Processor configuration
The standard CPU shipped with the AIReach OS System
Controller is an Intel Pentium II, 450 MHz processor. Normally,
the system BIOS autodetects the CPU and sets the system bus
frequency accordingly. If the BIOS does not do this, or if you elect
to use a different processor, you must set DIP switch SW1 to the
correct bus frequency and processor multiplier for the CPU, as
specified in table 2-4 . The location of switch SW1 is shown in

As shown in Table 2-4 , switch SW1–1 selects the processor front
side bus frequency (FSB), more commonly known as the bus or
memory frequency. Switches SW1–2 to SW1–5 select the
processor multiplier.
2–20 Adding cards to the System Controller
1026209– 0001 Revision B
To determine the proper FSB and multiplier for a particular
processor, first read the clock speed from the label on top of the
processor casing. Look at the last six numbers in the first row of
numbers and/or letters. For example, 450512 indicates a processor
clock speed (first three numbers) of 450 MHz, with 512K of
Level–2 (L2) cache (last three numbers). In general, any Pentium
II processor 333 MHz or slower uses a 66–MHz FSB, while any
processor 350 MHz or faster uses a 100–MHz FSB.
To determine the processor multiplier, divide the processor clock
speed by the FSB. For the 450–MHz processor, set the FSB to 100
MHz (SW1–1 OFF) and the multiplier at 4.5 (SW1–2 OFF,
SW1–2 ON, SW1–3 ON, and SW1–5 OFF). See the following
chart for other processor combinations and settings.

Jumpers
Set all jumpers as specified in Table 2-5 . The location of each
jumper is shown in Figure 2-13.
The SBC uses the watchdog timer (jumper J17). Even though the
pre–timeout interrupt option (JP3) of the watchdog timer is not
used, leave a jumper across pins 2–3. A jumper over JP4 pins 2
and 3 enables PnP capabilities and the ability to upgrade the flash
BIOS.
1026209– 0001 Revision B
Adding cards to the System Controller 2–21
Connect JP2 pins 2 and 3 for normal CMOS operation. In the
event that CMOS settings prevent the AIReach OS Controller
from booting, you can clear the CMOS settings by placing a
jumper over JP2 pins 1 and 2. Do this only in an emergency.
Clearing the CMOS helps correct only certain hardware problems.
Operating system or software problems cannot be remedied
through clearing the CMOS. If it is necessary to clear CMOS
settings, see HNS document 1027630 for the proper settings.

6.1
Connecting a
picocell for testing
This section explains how to connect a picocell (scanning picocell
or traffic picocell) at the staging area for testing (not for actual
installation).
Test cable: The test cable referred to below is a CAT 5 T1 cable
terminated with RJ–45 connectors at both ends. The cable is
“flipped” so the TX pinouts at one end connect to the RX pinouts
at the other end. (For pinout details, see page 7-12.)
For staging area testing, you connect power from a –48 Vdc power
supply to the test cable, which in turn connects to the picocell.
Connect the scanning picocell first (since it is tested first). Follow
these instructions to connect a scanning picocell or a traffic
picocell:
1.
2.
Connect the test cable to the picocell VOICE/DATA IN
(LINE POWER) port, as shown in Figure 6-1.
Connect the other end of the test cable to the first Quad T1
card (in slot 9) on the System Controller. See Figure 6-2:
- For a scanning picocell, connect to the second port
(from the top) of the first Quad T1 card.
- For a traffic picocell, connect to the third port (from
the top) of the first Quad T1 card.
CAUTION
Make sure the picocell power switch is OFF
(middle position) before connecting the
picocell to the Controller.

and select the Uplink / Downlink Scan in the Scan Mode
column when necessary.
Click Next to display the Start Scan Frequency Band Scan
window.
In the Start Scan Frequency Band Scan window (not shown
here), check these items only:
- View Band Scan results before generating Private
Operating and Traffic Frequencies
- View DCCH Scan results before generating Public
Service Profile information for AROS cell
Follow these steps to start the band scan and observe the results:
1. In the Start Scan Frequency Band Scan window, click Next
to start the frequency band scan.
When you click Next, the software displays a Measurement
in Progress window, and then (automatically) the Frequency
Band Scanning in Progress window.
2. Wait for the band scan to finish.
No results are shown until the frequency scan is finished.
The values shown in the Frequency Band Scanning in
Progress window are explained below:
The system continuously measures the received signal
strength indication (RSSI) for the whole band, and reports
the percentages above the given threshold as a cumulative
distribution. Each value is the percentage of samples above
the given RSSI, which is shown at the top of each column.
For example, for channel 2 above, 14% of the samples were
measured above –101 dBm (RSSI), and 33% were above
–105 dbm.
A “Time Started” message and value are shown in the lower
left corner of the window when the band scan is being
successfully performed.

Approximately 6 minutes after the band scan was started,
the Frequency Band Scanning in Progress window
automatically closes and the DCCH Scanning in Progress
window is automatically displayed (not shown here).
When the DCCH band scan is finished, the DCCH
Scanning in Progress window automatically closes, and the
Band Scanning Results window is automatically displayed:
The Band Scanning Results window indicates if frequencies
are usable or not, based on user–specified limits. Note that
it shows channels, not frequencies.
This data is used to generate an initial frequency list.
(Subsequently, all frequency management is dynamic.) The
score values indicate interference at the specified threshold.
Some frequencies are marked non–usable because the
system tries to avoid using adjacent channels.

•
•
•
Preparing for picocell installation – page 7–1
Mounting the picocells – page 7–2
Installing and connecting picocells – page 7–7
Performing the frequency band scan – page 7–18
Install the scanning picocell first, and then the traffic picocells.
Follow the instructions in the AIReach OS Configuration Report
for specifications on picocell location, cable labeling and telco
block assignments.
Important: All T1 wiring must comply with TIA/EIA–568A and
TIA/EIA–606. (In Canada, must comply with CSA Standards
T528 and 529.)

Preparing for
picocell installation
CAUTION
Before removing or installing electronic
components, make sure static electricity
has been discharged from yourself and any
object that will contact the component.
Wear a new or recently tested anti–static
wrist strap and use an anti–static pad while
handling components.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in damage to components.
Before you begin installing picocells, ensure that . . .
• The power supply for line power is mounted in the telco

•
1026209– 0001 Revision B
room and correctly connected to the telco block.
The T1 cables are punched down and correctly labeled on
the telco block.
The power supply voltage to the picocell is –48 Vdc.
The picocell location will not interfere with door clearances.
The picocell will not be located in an inappropriate room
(for example: a room without air conditioning).

Mounting the
picocells
The picocell is designed to be attached to different wall surfaces:
wallboard, concrete, wood, or metal or wood studs.
Installing the mounting
plate
The mounting plate must have at least 4.5 to 5. inches of clearance
on all sides (from ceiling, floor, and walls) so the picocell will
have proper clearance (3 inches minimum) for mounting and
ventilation. See Figure 7-1.

Revision C plates on Revision B picocells.
Fasteners
To mount the picocell mounting plate to the wall surface, use only
the fasteners shown in Table 7-1 —these are the only approved
fasteners. See the AIReach Office Configuration Report for site
specifications.
For wood or metal studs, HNS recommends two fasteners. See
Table 7-1 and Figure 7-3.
For walls composed of concrete, block, or drywall, HNS
recommends four fasteners. See Table 7-1 and Figure 7-4.

T1 wiring and flip
Important: All T1 wiring must comply with TIA/EIA–568A and
TIA/EIA–606. (In Canada, T1 wiring must comply with CSA
Standards T528 and T529.) These standards are listed in Appendix
B, Section B.5.
A T568B–compliant wiring flip must be used between:
• The Controller and picocell
• Daisy–chained picocells (that is, between each
picocell–to–picocell connection)
The flip is accomplished at the patch panel (as shown in Figure
7-11) or using a modular jack (Figure 7-12). The flip must be
T568B compliant, as shown in these two illustrations.

7.4
Performing the
frequency band
scan
Section 6.3 explains how to initiate a test (6–minute) frequency
band scan (starting on page 6–10). Now that the system is
installed, you perform a band scan to set up the system for normal
operation—specifically, to determine what frequencies the
AIReach OS can use. The post–installation scan takes a
minimum of 24 hours. The AIReach Office Configuration Report
states the actual time requirement.
Initiate the 24–hour band scan as explained in Section 6.3
(page 6–10), except:
In the Band Scan Parameters window, set Critical RSSI bin
to 3 (Uplink and Downlink).
Otherwise, follow the directions in Section 6.3 (but ignore
references to a 6–minute band scan).

State or Province Name (full name) [Maryland]:
Locality Name (city, town, etc.) [Germantown]:
Organization Name (company) [Hughes Network Systems]:
Organizational Unit Name (division) [Wireless Office Service]:
Common Name (webserver hostname) [209.84.215.36]:
5.
6.
For Common Name (webserver hostname), enter
the IP address of the gateway’s hostname. Ask the gateway
provider what to use for the common name.
The program ssleay.exe generates the files csr.pem
and spst.key in the spst folder.
Use Notepad to open csr.pem and change the line
BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST
to
BEGIN NEW CERTIFICATE REQUEST
7.
At the end of the csr.pem file, change the line

8.5
Enabling alarm
paging
The AIReach OS can be configured to page the system operator
when a critical or major alarm occurs. To enable alarm paging,
you must:
• Install an external modem.
• Configure the operator’s pager information in
the AIReach OS.
Alarm paging also requires HipLink Lite software, which is
factory–installed on the System Controller.
Instructions for installing the external modem and configuring the
pager information are given below.
If the customer does not want to use alarm paging, proceed to
Chapter 3.
Installing the external
modem
Alarm paging can be set up to use one or two analog lines. The
advantage of using two lines is that alarm pages are delivered even
when someone is dialed into the Controller. The disadvantage of
using two lines is the cost of the second line. The decision to use
one or two lines should be made by the customer.
Follow these instructions to install the external modem:
If one analog line is used:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Connect the line to the input jack on the internal modem.
Daisy chain the analog line from the internal modem to the
line–in jack on the external modem.
Connect the external modem to the serial port (COM1) on
the back of the Controller.
Attach the power cable to the modem and to an outlet, and
make sure the modem power switch (if present) is on.
Provide the dial–up number to the TAC—that is the direct
inward dialing (DID) number of the line coming into the
internal modem.
If two analog lines are used:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Connect one line to the input jack of the internal modem.
Connect the other line to the input jack on the external
modem.
Connect the external modem to the serial port (COM1) on
the back of the Controller.
Attach the power cable to the modem and to an outlet, and
make sure the modem power switch (if present) is on.
Provide the dial–up number to the TAC—that is the direct
inward dialing (DID) number of the line coming into the
internal modem.
Note
If two lines are used, the line used for alarm paging does not
have to be a DID line.

Configuring the
AIReach OS for alarm
paging
Configure the AIReach OS with the operator’s pager, mobile
phone, or beeper information, as explained below. (The HipLink
software must already be installed.)
Notes
If the AIReach OS is configured to direct alarm pages to a mobile
phone on the AIReach OS, the mobile phone may not receive an
alarm page in the event of an outage.
If you need assistance using HipLink, call the Cross Communi–
cations support hotline at (630) 964–4282.
Required information
Obtain the following information from the customer:
•
•
•
•
Pager number
PIN (for pagers)
MIN (for mobile phones)
Maximum character length
Editing the ArosPageInfo.dat file
You must enter the operator and page information in the file
C:\HipLink\ArosPageInfo.dat
A sample file is located in
C:\%OMC_ROOT_DIR%\config\ArosPageInfo.dat
To configure an operator to receive critical and major alarm pages:
1.
2.
Use Notepad to edit
C:\HipLink\ArosPageInfo.dat, as explained in the
following steps:
Edit ArosPageInfo.dat to include:
PagingEnabled yes
3.
(Entries in ArosPageInfo.dat are not case–sensitive.)
Uncomment “UserData” (remove “ # ”) and change the
information to the Controller name or number (10
characters maximum), for example:
UserData AROSC1
In this example, AROSC1 is a text string that uniquely
identifies the Controller.
If alarms will be sent to a beeper or
non–alphanumeric pager, use numbers only.
When an alarm occurs, the Controller name or number you
enter is displayed on the pager.

Remote Client
This chapter includes:
• Overview of the AIReach OS Remote Client – page 12–1
• Explains how to install the Remote Client – page 12–2
• Explains how to test the installation – page 12–3
12.1
AIReach OS Remote
Client
The Remote Client can be installed on a Windows 95, Windows
98, or Windows NT computer to provide access from a remote
location to the AIReach OS. The Remote Client provides the
graphical user interface that allows you to access the System
Controller and AIReach Office software application. Through the
Client, you can execute Controller functions from the remote
computer.
The remote access service is typically provided by the Microsoft
Windows Remote Access Server (RAS). RAS answers incoming
phone connections and provides a PPP connection. Once a PPP
connection is established, the remote computer (client) functions
as if it were on the same physical network as the Controller. A
LAN intranet connection can be used as an alternative to RAS.
Typically, the System Controller is placed in a secure, limited
access area with the PBX. A separate operations room is typically
used for daily PBX and AIReach OS tasks, such as adding users
and deleting users. If desired, these operations can be performed
on a remote computer.
Note
Multiple users can access Subscriber configuration windows at the
same time, but only one user at a time can access Controller
configuration windows.
Requirements
To use the Remote Client, the remote computer must have either:
• IP connectivity between the remote computer and the
Controller
• Dial–in access from the remote computer to the Controller
For dial–in access, the Controller must have a modem and
RAS configured and enabled.

4. Read the instruction file displayed by the InstallShield;
follow the on–screen instructions; and respond to the
questions.
After you complete the installation, InstallShield reboots the
computer, and the AROS Configuration icon (shown below)
appears.
If the remote computer is running Windows 95 or Windows 98, you
must change the GUI’s initial environment memory setting:
1. Right–click the AROS Configuration icon (shown in step
4), and select Properties.
2. Click the Memory tab.

69.1.2.254
69.1.3.254
69.1.4.254
Notes
When a picocell boots up, it is assigned the next available IP
address. Only picocell IP addresses are assigned to the
TX2000 IP card.
You will need to add picocell IP addresses (as explained in
the next section) if:
• The number of picocell IP addresses is less than
the number of picocells to be installed in the system
• The picocell IP addresses do not correspond in
sequence to the picocells installed
Notes
The number of addresses configured can exceed the number
of picocells; this will not cause a problem.
Up to eight addresses can be configured.

General operational
problems
Cells do not load
LEDs on the Quad T1 card should show green for each connected
port. If the LEDs do not show green, check the following:
• The wiring for proper wire schedule, crimps, etc.
• The power connections to the picocells.
• The software loads under the BTS tab. It should be set to
default settings.
• The serial numbers under the BTS tab. Make sure the serial
numbers are correct and that the correct cells are connected
to the correct port.
If some cells have booted, but others have not, substitute a
non–booting cell for a booting cell and change the serial number
under the BTS tab. Replace any faulty cells with spare cells and
contact TAC.

Maintaining Quad T1 cards
This chapter includes the following topics:
• Replacing a Quad T1 card – page 14–2
• Moving a Quad T1 card – page 14–5
• Removing (deleting) a Quad T1 card – page 14–9
To add a Quad T1 card, see Sections 2.4 through 2.8.
The instructions in this chapter are not part of the initial
installation procedure. They are provided in case you need to
replace, move, or remove a Quad T1 card.
If you need to replace, move, or permanently remove (delete) a
Quad T1 card, you must exercise special care because specific
instructions for DIP switch settings, an adapter card, and bus
cables depend on the slot where the card is installed (or removed
from).

Appendix D
Updating software; backing up
databases
This chapter includes the following topics:
• Updating software – page D–1
• Backing up and restoring databases – page D–2
D.1
Updating software
with a new release
A new software release could be a release of the AIReach Office
application software, an OMC release, or both.
Install the new release during non–business hours. AIReach
Office functions are not available during this time.
To install a new release of AIReach software:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Read and follow all instructions in the software release
notes or Service Bulletin provided by the TAC.
Back up the current subscriber database on a floppy disk
following the instructions in Section D.2.
Close the AIReach Office application.
Exit any other programs that may be running, including any
connections to remote workstations.
CAUTION
When prompted during a software reload:
“Is the nss database, nss to be created
again?,” reply N. If you reply Y, you will
destroy parts of the existing database.
5.
6.
7.
1026209– 0001 Revision B
Insert the CD with the new software release into the drive
and follow the interactive instructions to install the
software.
Reboot the System Controller.
Start the AIReach Office application, and make sure the
main window (banner with AIReach logo) displays.
Updating software; backing up databases D–1
D.2
Backing up and
restoring databases
To safeguard system data, create regular backups of all databases
created and maintained by the AIReach Office software.
Databases may be restored to the Controller hard disk, if
necessary.
All AROS software applications are stopped during backup or
restore operations. Any calls in progress are dropped, and no
new calls can be made until the Controller restarts. Therefore,
backup and restore operations should be done when there are
no users on the network, and users should be informed that
the system will be down.
Backing up
To backup the AIReach OS databases to a writable CD:
1.
2.
3.
Close the AIReach OS banner window.
Load a formatted RW CD into the CD–ROM drive.
(If the CD is unformatted, format it before loading it. )
Enter these commands from a DOS prompt:
cd %omc_root_dir%\tools
backup 
4.
A db_log.LOG file opens.
When you see “Export terminated successfully without
warning” at the bottom of the log, close the file.
If you do not see this message, contact HNS TAC for
assistance.
Starting the software after backup
To start the AROS software after backup, follow these steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
D–2 Updating software; backing up databases
Select Start → Settings → Control Panel.
Double–click on Services.
Select WOS LOAD/Monitor and press Start.
Wait for all processes to start.
(For a list of the processes, see the taskbar illustration on
page 3–6, step 4.)
After all processes have started, you can open the AIReach
OS banner window. (Double–click on the AROS
Configuration icon and log in.)
1026209– 0001 Revision B
Restoring
To restore the databases from a CD to the Controller hard disk:
1.
Enter these commands from a DOS prompt:
cd %omc_root_dir%\tools
cleanupdb
2.
The cleanupdb script closes all AROS processes and
cleans the databases. After some time, the Controller
reboots itself, but no AROS services start.
After the Controller reboots, enter:
cd %omc_root_dir%\tools
restore 
3.
1026209– 0001 Revision B
The Controller reboots again.
Launch the AIReach Office application and verify that the
database has been restored. Check the NSS, HLR, MSC and
systemwide configurations.
