# PRL Updates

This document describes how to update a single device PRL using the SOUP server. 

## Prerequistes

 1. Ensure you have access to the production SOUP server.  Create a ticket if needed.

 1. Provide adequate notification prior to updating customer devices. 

 1. Ensure you have correct information including: Carrier and Model for the particular Device (MAC address)

## Update process

 1. Login to SOUP server: densoup01.contournetworks.net

 1. Run the following commands:

~~~

cd /opt/sdm/www/soupfiles

ln -s /opt/sdm/configs/systechConfig/prls/[prlfile] M[last six of MAC]99000000.prl 

~~~

## Know Issues

   Sprint Master Service Lock (MSL) codes are required to update a prl via Soup.

   The MSL spreadsheet provided by Sprint is on P:\Contour Support Files\Master_MSL.xlsx

   The soup server will deliver the file to the router but if the module is locked the updates is not processed.

# Nightly Validation

A script is run nightly at 07:00 which will parse the logs to determine which routers have been successfully updated.  This will send an email to: prlupdate@contournetworks.com which show the following information.

the script is located at /opt/soup-adminscripts/getdailylogsprl.sh 

This can be ran manually and it will mail a report that has

- The Date

- status 

- Last Six (6) of MAC Address
