UIP Conversion Procedures
The following steps describe the actions to be taken in converting an Altos 5000 host processor
from a previous release of NMS to Release 4.2:
1. Backup the previous release database and user files.
2. Power off the Altos 5000 processor and remove the processor covers.
3. Remove the DCP-286i (3270 Emulation package), IPC-900 (ANALYSIS NMS package),
and DCP-MUXi (16 Control Channel package) cards, if any of them are installed in the
processor. The DCP-MUXi can be reused in the new host processor. The DCP-286i and
IPC-900 can only be used in an Altos 5000 host.
4. If an IPC-1600 card is present and it is being transferred to the host processor, remove it
now. If an IPC-1600 card is present and is being used in the UIP, do not remove it or
modify it. The strap settings are correct.
5. If a StarLAN NAU card is present, remove it from the processor. Check the Integral
Ethernet card referring to the sections, Preinstallation Checks for the Integral Ethernet
Card and Connecting the Ethernet Card to the Network.
6. Upgrade the memory as indicated in Table 2-4. Refer to the section, Installing Additional
Memory on the System 5000 UIP.
7. Replace all processor covers, reboot and run the EISA Configuration Utility, and follow the
steps for installing the UNIX operating system and the UIP Release 4.2 software as
indicated in Chapter 5, Loading and Restoring Software.
Connecting the Ethernet Card to the Network
The Integral Ethernet card used on most NMS processors requires additional equipment before it
can be connected to the Local Area Network (LAN).
Connect an Allied Telesis 210T transceiver to the Ethernet card’s AUI connector using a 15-pin
Ethernet extender. Connect the transceiver to the LAN’s network hub unit.
Closing the Altos 5000 UIP
The procedures for closing the Altos 5000 UIP are the same as those for the 5000 host. Refer to the
section, Closing the System 5000, for precise instructions.
