UDT Factory Reset

Sometimes a Universal Digital Trunk (UDT) card might need to be reset to the default factory state, eg: it has loaded incorrect loadware, and/or has become unusable.

1. Connect to the front panel TTY port (9600,8n1)
2. Reseat the UDT card in order to reboot it
3. On seeing the UDT boot message, press 'control-B'
4. Enter e to erase the updated load file
5. Enter @ to boot the card from the factory image

The card will reboot from the factory image, and look for new loadware.

*** UDT boot loader 02.04 ***    ← Press control-B on seeing this line

While in the UDT boot menu, you can type ? for help:

Always ensure that the CS1000 has the latest version of UDT loadware. UDTCAA42.LW is included in the base Rls 6, 7.0, and 7.5 software images, and should be replaced as it will brick an NTDW79ABE5, requiring a factory reset to revive it.

• UDTCAA42.LW is only compatible with the NTDW79AAE5, and will render a NTDW79ABE5 useless.
• UDTCAB10.LW is newer, and compatible with both NTDW79AAE5 and NTDW79ABE5 vintage cards.

Run MDP ISSP from LD 143 to check if the system is patched. To patch UDT cards following a loadware upgrade, disable the MSDL in LD 96 and loop in LD 60. Use the following LD 143 UDT firmware upgrade commands:

• UPGUDT STAT   - Query current UDT card firmware upgrade status.
• UPGUDT l s c - Perform UDT card firmware upgrade on [loop shelf card]
• UPGUDT ABORT - Abort UDT card firmware upgrade.
