Download Procedure:
For Web GUI; Select Configuration Software and the SW Download tab.
Select the “SW-EVOLUTION-RELEASE-APP-R10C00_1.tar” file and press
Download button. The package contains five .tar files and the GUI will
prompt for new files as needed.
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 or later 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 or later. Press the Set Current
SU active button displayed in figure 2. Also, the cache must be cleared
after SW upgrade. If the cache is not cleared, the web pages may not show
correct information. Please refer to handbook for a description of how to
clear the cache in different browsers.

6. KNOWN PROBLEMS
6.1 OSPF Router
OSPF Routing may be inconsistent when CityLink, InterLink and
CompactLink equipment is used in the same OSPF system as Evolution
Series terminals.
Workaround:
Do not configure the InterLink or CityLink to be a designated router. Use
static routes between the Evolution Series terminal and InterLink or
CityLink terminals.
Workaround:
Use Supervisory Unit FKCN5551C-T or FKCN5551D-T in systems with
large configurations.
Internal lock-up in the equipment may occur if equipment Ethernet Port with
Auto Speed is connected to an external Ethernet port with fixed
speed/duplex 100M Full or 10M Full.
Management and User Ethernet traffic will be lost.
Workaround:
Use the same setting both for the Evolution Series terminal and the
equipment connected to it. Use either Auto on both sides, or the same fixed
setting on both sides.

Workaround:
Disable one Gigabit LAN Port (LAN Port 4 or LAN Port 5) before
downgrading.
Workaround:
Run through the housekeeping wizard and the system will be reinitialised
so that this alarm disappears and the orderwire channel is operational.

second. The SETS functionality itself is not affected, only the alarm status
reporting.
