Verify Module Compatibility and Synchronization

To verify module compatibility and synchronization, follow these steps.
  1. On the Synchronization Status tab of the RMCT, verify that the modules are fully compatible.
    Compatibility column equals Full
  2. On the Synchronization tab, select Synchronize Secondary.
    Synchronize Secondary command
  3. Wait for the synchronization to complete.
  4. On the Synchronization tab, select Initiate a switchover.
    Initiate Switchover button
  5. Disconnect the Ethernet cables from the communication module in the secondary chassis.
  6. Turn off power to the secondary chassis.
  7. Remove the communication module from the secondary chassis.
  8. Set the switches on the new series module to 888 and insert it in the secondary chassis.
    1. After the reset is complete, remove the module from the secondary chassis.
    2. Set the switches to the same settings as on the module that was removed.
    3. Reinsert the module into the secondary chassis, reattach the cable, and apply power to the secondary chassis.
    4. To support bridging across the backplane (or via the USB port), configure the Port Configuration of the secondary module to match the Port Configuration of the primary module.
    5. Update the firmware of the new series module.
  9. Repeat the steps 5…8 for all communication modules in secondary chassis.
  10. On the Configuration tab of the RMCT, set Auto-synchronization to Always.
    Auto-Synchronization set to Always
  11. Select Apply, Yes, and OK.
  12. Verify that the secondary chassis has qualified.
