While Craft is the standard for direct node access, consider these for scaled work:
If you don't have direct Ericsson support access, request the installation media from your Ericsson partner. They will provide a USB drive or secure download link for the Ericsson MiniLink Craft Software Suite.
Do not attempt to use a version intended for MiniLink 6000 series on a MiniLink 6600/6351—it will not work.
The following outlines the standard procedure for performing the download work.
This guide explains what the Ericsson Mini-Link Craft software is, where to obtain it, and how to install and configure it so it works with Ericsson Mini-Link radio equipment (compact microwave/backhaul systems). Assumptions: you have an Ericsson Mini-Link unit and a Windows PC with administrative rights.
"Ericsson MINI-LINK Craft Software Download Work" refers to the operational maintenance activity of upgrading or updating the firmware and software loads on Ericsson’s MINI-LINK portfolio of microwave transmission equipment. This work is performed using the Ericsson MINI-LINK Craft (formerly known as MINI-LINK Traffic Node Craft or simply Craft), a proprietary Java-based management application used for Element Management (EM) on a local level.
The objective of this work is to ensure network stability, patch security vulnerabilities, introduce new functional features, and maintain compatibility with network management systems (such as Ericsson Network Manager).
