13 ECT & NE UPGRADE TO A NEW SWP VERSION (SAME SWP RELEASE)


This chapter details all phases necessary to install a new SWP version in the PC environment as well as in the equipment environment. This procedure can be used only in the case depicted in point 3 ) on page 273, i.e.: ECT and equipment are running with one of the Software Packages with P/N indicated in Tab. 14. on page 235 and with generic version A.B.c (A.B is the SW release, c is the patch level) a new version of SWP A.B.d (d > c), having the same P/N, is delivered to Customer.

Procedure: 1) 2) 3) Requirements: see para.11.1 on page 21 and para.12.1 on page 57. Carry out the installation of the new SWP version in the ECT environment, as indicated in chapter 11 on page 21. The subsequent phases depend on the compatibility of MIB structure between previous and new SWP versions. This MIB compatibility is indicated in the suitable chapterparagraph (according to SWP Version) in Section 4 on page 233. In case you receive a version higher than the highest listed on page 233, please refer to the documentation accompanying the SWP delivery to get this information. N.B. Usually the MIB structure is fully compatible inside a SWP Release, so that the following step 4 ) must be taken into consideration.

4)

new MIB structure compatible with old MIB structure: a) perform the SW download with the following Craft Terminal commands (refer to para.212.2 on page 210 for detailed description): perform step 1 to 5 in para. 12.3 on page 58 SW Download Init SW download the screen of Fig. 148. on page 210 opens select the new NEversion to be downloaded with SWP Versions  2.0.1 is necessary to select Forced option on CT screen for SW Download activation request click on Init download button then, after about 1/2 hour, SW Download SW status Apply Action to activate the software. The software download can be performed also by using the Ethernet interface of the PC. In this case the download lasts only few minutes.

N.B.

b)

perform NE logoff followed by NE login.

The result is the Equipment working with the new SWP version nevertheless maintaining the old configuration data.

14 FLASH CARD UPGRADE


Please refer to para.B.2 on page 262 for detailed information on Flash Card position, types, identification and content.

All rights reserved. Passing on and copying of this document, use and communication of its contents not permitted without written authorization from Alcatel.

14.1 Ordering the new Flash Card


Whenever the Base configuration of the 9400AWY NE must be upgraded, Customer must order a new Flash Card: of the type consistent with the equipment configuration he wants (see Tab. 21. on page 262), and, already set by Alcatel Factory: with the same SWPversion (or higher) present in the 9400AWY system to be upgraded, already present in the FlashCards SW COMMIT VERSION bank with the same NE network routing data of the system to be upgraded

and preferably, already set by Alcatel Factory: with the same MIB of the system to be upgraded (for this purpose, Customer can save the MIB on floppydisk and give it to Alcatel Factory).

14.2 Installation of the new Flash Card fully configured in factory


This simplified procedure can be carried out only if the new Flash Card is delivered with SW and data as specified in para.14.1 above. After having got the new Flash Card, the phases for the Flash Card upgrading are: [1] get the new Flash Card; leave it in its protective envelope until you have worn the antistatic protection armlet if not connected, connect the Craft Terminal (see point e ) on page 15 for cautions), switch it on, start 1320CT and login the NE wear the antistatic protection armlet (see point b ) on page 15) and connect its termination to a grounded structure remove the Flash Card cover (see Fig. 164. on page 259). Store tidily cover and screws for their successive mount extract the old Flash Card from the IDU Main Unit and insert the new one (refer to Fig. 165. on page 259 for Flash Card profile and insertion direction) restore the Flash Card cover removed in step [4] above (screw tightening torque as in point c ) on page 15) now you can take off the antistatic protection armlet carry out functional checks by Craft Terminal as the new Flash Card is supplied with a selfadhesive label containing the Flash Card Name, get and stick it over the older one (see Fig. 163. on page 259); (N.B. if possible, remove the older selfadhesive label before sticking the newer).

14.3 Installation of a new Flash Card not configured in factory


With this procedure, the system is isolated from the supervision network. In fact, the insertion in a 9400AWY system connected to the network of a Flash Card with: default or unknown NE network routing data SW Commit Version unknown or lower than that present on the system must be absolutely avoided. After having got the new Flash Card, the phases for the Flash Card upgrading are: [1] get the new Flash Card; leave it in its protective envelope until you have worn the antistatic protection armlet if not connected, connect the Craft Terminal (see point e ) on page 15 for cautions), switch it on, start 1320CT and login the NE by Craft Terminal, take notice of the NE network routing data currently set (see point c ) on page 268) by Craft Terminal, save the MIB data isolate the NE from the supervision network N.B. Before to isolate the system from the supervision network, inform the supervision center: if (from the supervision point of view), there are other NEs cascadeconnected to it (and without supervision ring network) they will be isolated, too. wear the antistatic protection armlet (see point b ) on page 15) and connect its termination to a grounded structure remove the Flash Card cover (see Fig. 164. on page 259). Store tidily cover and screws for their successive mount extract the old Flash Card from the Scalable Main Unit and insert the new one. Refer to Fig. 165. on page 259 for Flash Card profile and insertion direction restore the Flash Card cover removed in step [7] above (screw tightening torque as in point c ) on page 15)

[10] now you can take off the antistatic protection armlet [11] now you must perform all operations regarding the NE SW download and data definition, as it is was done at the equipment SW first time installation: SWP download from C.T. to NE, using the same SWPversion NE network routing data definition (using data annotated in step [3] above) MIB data restore (using MIB saved in step [4] above)

[12] carry out functional checks by Craft Terminal [13] connect the system to the supervision network [14] as the new Flash Card is supplied with a selfadhesive label containing the Flash Card Name, get and stick it over the older one (see Fig. 163. on page 259); (N.B. if possible, remove the older selfadhesive label before sticking the newer).
1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10

In alternative, if an offline IDU MAIN unit is available at Customer premises, the Flash Card can be prepared on it, and then installed on the target system as described in previous para.14.2 on page 73.

First the view organization is introduced, then the accessible menu options are listed. Some further advices are given for Navigation principles. N.B. This operator handbook explains the menus for Rel. 2.0.0 and Rel. 2.0.1.

21.1 9400 AWY view organization


The 9400 AWY view ( see Fig. 28. on page 78 ) contains the following fields, which provide the operator with the information needed to manage the NE: Severity alarm synthesis, Domain alarm synthesis, Management status control panel, View title, View area, Message/state area.

The Menu bar and the View area contained in the same NE view permit to perform all configuration and supervision operations and the display the specific selected item. The view organization is detailed in the Basic Craft Terminal Operator Handbook to which refer for the description. N.B. Fig. 28. on page 78 shows the 9400 AWY in 1+1 configuration.

This profile enables the emission of the primary alarms. General rules used to define the alarms severity: MAJOR: the alarm affects the service (it is service affecting); MINOR or WARNING (according to the impact of the alarm): the alarm doesnt affects the service (with the exception of HighBER alarm, which MINOR alarm severity is defined, even if it is service affecting).

All rights reserved. Passing on and copying of this document, use and communication of its contents not permitted without written authorization from Alcatel.

Profile No Remote Alarms. This profile enables the emission of the primary alarms plus EW and LBER alarm. This profile uses the following rules to define the alarms severity: MAJOR: the alarm affects the service (it is service affecting); MINOR: the alarm is potentially service affecting but a protection has recovered the service; WARNING: the alarm cannot affect the service (independently from any protection).

Profile All Alarms. This profile enables the emission of all the alarms (included AIS and RDI). This profile uses the same severity of the Primary alarm profile, the only difference is that EW, LBER, AIS and RDI alarms are emitted. The rules used to define the alarm severity are the same of the Primary alarm profile. In case of alarms affecting a protection different severities are used for SA and NSA. The same severity is used both for SA and NSA in case of service independent alarms. The rules used to define the profile alarms severity described above, are not applied to the housekeeping alarms. In this case, in order to enhance the flexibility, a different severity is assigned to each alarm profile (WAR, MIN and MAJ).

Fig. 88. Radio Configuration menu 25.2.1 Local or Remote Transmitter Mute The information related to the transmitter status is shown in the Tx Mute field. To change the transmitter status choose the desired value (ON for Tx Squelched and OFF for Tx not Squelched) and press the related Apply button. WARNING: The Tx Remote Mute automatically works (on and then off) only if performed on the local NE (i.e. the NE to which the CT is connected). When a remote Tx mute is executed, the EC changes the channel in monodirectional way, in order to have the possibility to send the command to remove the mute. If the Network Element has been restarted after a MUTE, there is no more possibility to setup the channel, because the remote address is not known, and, in any case, to setup the channel a bidirectional communication is needed. The only way to remove the MUTE command is with local CT or from a remote CT which can reach the Network Element through another supervisory interface.

25.2.2 ODU service kit This field is a readonly field, which displays the state of the Portable Service Kit (connected or not to the ODU). 25.2.3 Alarm Profile The field Alarm Profile allows to associate a particular Alarm Profile to the object alarms: a default alarm profile or an Alarm Profile previously created by the Operator (refer to para. 22.3.1 on page 103). To associate a different Alarm Profile click on the selection button and select among the available Alarm Profile. N.B. the default associated Alarm Profile is the Primary Alarm profile.

27 SUPERVISION 27.1 Access state (allow or inhibit NE Craft access)


The NE can be managed by the OS or by the Craft Terminal. To control the competition of the OS and the CT, a Local Access Control (LAC) is available. If the LAC is access denied, it means that the OS manages the NE and the CT is not allowed to modify the NE configuration (it can only read). In the view, the icon with a key symbol has a circular shape. If the LAC is granted, it means that the CT is allowed to manage the NE. In the view, the icon with a key symbol has a rectangular shape. If the LAC is requested, it means that the CT has requested a permission from the OS and is waiting for a replay. However, the OS does continue to provide a certain number of services. These services include: Alarm reception and processing, Performance processing, Switching back to the OS access state.

All rights reserved. Passing on and copying of this document, use and communication of its contents not permitted without written authorization from Alcatel.

The access state of an NE can be modified from two types of views:

27.1.1 Switching from the OS to the Craft Terminal access state Select the Supervision pull down menu. Then select the Requested option from the Access State cascading menu as shown in the following figure.

Fig. 103. Configuration of the Craft access state from the Equipment NE view in the OS mode

1AA 00014 0004 (9007) A4 ALICE 04.10

From the confirmation dialogue box that opens, you can confirm or cancel the Craft access operation using the Yes or No pushbutton. The request is sent up to the OS which accepts or refuses it. If the OS doesnt answer in a predefined time, it is assumed that the NE is in the Craft access state and can be managed by a Craft Terminal.

ED

02 3DB 06687 CA AA 304 165 / 304

27.1.2 Switching from the Craft Terminal access state back to the OS access state Select the Supervision pull down menu. Then from the Access State cascading menu select the OS option. From the confirmation dialogue box that opens, you can confirm or cancel the OS access operation. The NE is now managed by the OS. N.B. The key symbol icon on the management states of the NE view indicates whether the NE is managed by a craft terminal or by the OS. Local Craft Terminal access is denied on recovery phase after a loss of communication of the NE. When the communication with the NE is lost, the OS automatically recovers the communication and forces the state existing before the loss of communication (therefore, Craft Terminal access can be denied or granted).

N.B.

27.2 Restart NE
The RESTART operation is a software reset and can be executed in normal traffic conditions. From the Supervision cascading menu, select the Restart NE option.

Fig. 121. Tx Protection Commands (Main #1) The operator by the Craft Terminal can modify the state of the switch through commands Lockout, Forced and Manual. Lockout has higher priority than Forced: the activation connects to the antenna Transmitter 1 (default transmitter), independently of the possible active alarms. This command activates signaling ABN. Forced has higher priority than the automatic operation: the activation of this command connects to the antenna Transmitter 0, independently of the possible active alarms. This command activates signaling ABN. Automatic Switch is the normal operation condition: the position of the switch depends on the commands generated by the logic. Manual has the lowest priority: it is performed only if there are no alarms that can activate an automatic switch. It cannot be performed if Lockout or Forced commands are already activated. If this command is active, it will be removed by an incoming alarm. This command does not activate signaling ABN. Tab. 7. Command priority list Command Lockout Forced Automatic switch

211 PERFORMANCE MONITORING


This chapter describes the functions to provide Performance Monitoring management. It explains the procedures that the operator must perform in order to activate a PM process.

All rights reserved. Passing on and copying of this document, use and communication of its contents not permitted without written authorization from Alcatel.

211.1 General information on the performance monitoring process


The performance monitoring (PM) gives indication on the quality of the service. Quality of service PM is performed in accordance with G.826 and G.784. It is assumed that the quality of the single tributary (E1, DS1, ) can be derived from the quality of the aggregate signal, therefore no dedicated quality of service PM is foreseen on the single tributaries. Considering one section (see below), one current register is for 15 min report and one for 24 h report; 96 history data can be stored for 15 min report and 8 history data for 24 h report. N.B. The 15 min Performance Monitoring data are stored in the History Data report only if errors have been occurred. The 24 h Performance Monitoring data are always stored in the History Data report.

The radio section monitored is: Radio Hop Section: the section between two radio stations inside the protection section Radio Link Section: the section identifying the protected section.

32.3 Troubleshooting organization


The troubleshooting procedure is carried out with the help of some tables, reported hereinafter. Anyway this method does not deal with the following issues (which are to be dealt with otherwise): faulty electronic alarm indication, processing and detection circuits faulty wiring (backpanel, connectors, etc.)

The following interfaces are present on the equipment for troubleshooting purposes: Ethernet interface for the Telecommunication Management Network ( TMN ) F interface for the Craft Terminal (Local or Remote) LEDs located on the NEs units.

Usually, maintenance is firstly done via software (TMN or Remote Craft Terminal) to locate the faulty equipment and the faulty unit or the faulty path and then on site to physically correct the trouble.

Maintenance can be done: from a TMN network management center from a Remote Craft Terminal (RCT) management center on site.

TMN network management center: by means of the TMN, the maintenance technician can see the alarms generated by each equipment of the managed network (see the relevant TMN handbooks). Remote craft terminal: the operator, connected to a local NE, can remotely manage and troubleshoot a network composed of max 128 NEs, including itself. This handbook applies. On site : the operator is on site in case : 1) 2) 3) 4) the equipment is not managed by a TMN or by a Remote Craft terminal (RCT). the equipment is not reachable by the remote manager (TMN or RCT) and therefore is isolated. link problems are present. the trouble has been located and a physical replacement is necessary.

In cases 1 ) , 2 ), 3 ), the alarmed equipment is checked by means of the local Craft Terminal.

The NE is provided with LEDs which indicate: Centralized Equipment Alarms:


All rights reserved. Passing on and copying of this document, use and communication of its contents not permitted without written authorization from Alcatel.

All alarms detected on the units are collected by the MAIN unit, which delivers centralized indications (by means of LEDs on the front coverplate). Specifically: Red LED: detection of a MAJOR (URGENT) alarm. Red LED: detection of a MINOR (NOT URGENT) alarm. Yellow LED: alarm condition ATTENDED. Red LED: detection of a LDI (problem in the local equipment). Red LED: detection of an RDI (problem in the remote equipment).

In the case of a MAJOR or MINOR alarm, after locating the alarmed unit, the alarm condition can be attended by pressing the alarm storing push button on the front panel of the MAIN unit. This condition causes on the front coverplate: yellow LED ATTENDED to light up red LEDs MINOR and MAJOR to turn off (free to accept other alarms) If both LEDs are on, the Attend command should be given twice : one to attend the MINOR alarm and one to attend the MAJOR alarm.

The troubleshooting operation is done by means of the Craft Terminal, and of the optical indicators (LEDs) present on the NE. The Craft Terminal is connected to the relative connector on the front coverplate (F interface) of the MAIN unit. The Craft Terminal applications provide detailed information on the alarm state thus facilitating fault location and subsequent removal as indicated in para. 32.4 on page 224. To correctly execute the troubleshooting operations the technician must know the equipment configuration (see Equipment applications on the Craft Terminal). The following tables should be also consulted when the unit LEDs flash; as a matter of fact, the flashing condition might be due to external alarm causes usually, related to line problems.

32.4 Troubleshooting by means of the Craft Terminal


Troubleshooting proceeds by checking the detailed information on the NE alarm by using the Craft Terminal. The information on the NE alarm will be mainly obtained by means of the Craft Terminal through the Alarm tab panel data. The troubleshooting procedure is the following. a) Look at the active alarms on the Control Panel always present on the window (which summarizes all the NE alarms). Tab. 11. on page 225 describes the meanings of these alarms/statuses and its respective maintenance actions. In case of alarm, access the Alarm tab panel for troubleshooting. Para 32.4.2 on page 226 explains how to see the alarms.

b)

MAJOR alarm indicates a severe alarm that could affect the current traffic (interrupt or degrade). Hence, a prompt intervention is necessary to restore the regular operating condition of the equipment.

This for EC: 1) The functionality of automatic EPLD download (GAIA and GAIA_AE) has been removed, because it has been verified that, for GAIA components, the reading of EPLD version (made by IDUSW during restarts and after board poweron) creates impacts on traffic. To avoid strictly dependencies to HW codes, it has been changed the algorithm used to enable/disable the automatic FPGA/EPLD download and to enable/disable ATTENDED button (based on remote inventory contents): for this reason, to avoid unexpected behavior, before activate new SW package 2.0.1h it has to be kept attention on remote inventory of the boards. The automatic FPGA/EPLD download and the attended button are DISABLED ONLY on boards ED.2 and on boards ED.3, and, as consequence, they are ENABLED in ALL OTHER CASES. These editions are recognized by means of UNIT PART NUMBER (stored in remote Inventory); the automatic FPGA/EPLD download it is DISABLED ONLY when the contents of UNIT PART NUMBER is one of the following: MULDEM MAIN: 3DB06395AAAA MULDEM EXTENSION : 3DB06404AAAA The download can be anyway disabled putting the file NOAUTOSWDW under /home/admlcng/debug folder, but the management of the attended button CANNOT be disabled and using boards without the right management of this button there could be misalignment on alarm management (both on NMS and on leds). It has been also changed the algorithm used to recognize different GAIA components (GAIA/GAIA_AE): it is retrieved idCode directly from GAIA and this information is used to select the right file image to download. 3) 4) Inserted filter of EarlyWarning alarm in case of nearend E3/DS3 loopback presence Updated HBER threshold values (FENICE) in ANSI configurations (4/8/16DS1 and DS3) with the same values used for ETSI market. It has been inserted a check on backup contents (during restore operation) to verify if the configuration saved is compatible with SW key: for this reason it has been changed the database and backup made with previous prerelease are no more compatible if it is used a SW KEY different from FULLFLEXIBLE. 6) Inserted new management in case of change of ETH rate 10/100 or 100/10 This behavior can be disabled putting the file noMedusaSpeed in /home/admlcng/ debug folder (the file is read ONLY during EC startup) Inserted filter of EarlyWarning alarm in case of IDU cable loopback presence Inserted modifications on versions check for FPGA/EPLD automatic download A modification in EC database has been made; for this reason in case of downgrade to previous EC version there could be some problems related to NOT ENABLED pointToPoint interfaces: after downgrade all pointToPoint are enabled (they can be deactivated by CT/NMS).

In case of Loss of Signal on tributary #1 and #9 a check on exar register #0 contents is done: in case the content is not the expected the register is reconfigured and a specific trace is inserted on SWTrace log file. After a card fail (both HW or SW) the board is completely reconfigured . Inserted traces in SWTrace log file to trace all card fail detection. 17 ) Resolved problem in management of CONF_SW_RPS_KO pin on Gutturnio after EXTENSION switchoff/disconnection and connection with EXTENSION powered off. 18 ) Resolved problem related to usage of addresses 0.0.0.x in OSPF . 19 ) Alignment to Ominx Scalable 1+0 and 1+1 ANSI files Ed.2 20 ) The automatic FPGA/EPLD download HAS BEEN ENABLED ONLY ON BOARD ED.4 The edition is recognized by means of UNIT PART NUMBER (stored in remote Inventory): MULDEM MAIN : 3DB06395AAAB MULDEM EXTENSION : 3DB06404AAAB The download can be disabled putting the file NOAUTOSWDW under /home/admlcng/ debug folder. 21 ) Added management of new GAIA/GAIA_EXT image files (for new Altera components): new components are mounted ONLY on boards ED.4 and are recognized by means of ICS (stored in remote inventory): ICS y 2 identify new GAIA/GAIA_EXT components 22 ) Added alarm notification during FPGA/EPD download 23 ) Enabled ATTENDED button management only on boards ED.4 This remove the restriction present in previous prereleases and in release 2.0 (It has been temporary inhibited the management of Attended button) 24 ) Added management of Clock 39Mhz alarm as CARD FAIL root 25 ) Updated management of CONF_SW_RPS_KO pin: EXT card missing alarm and fail on CYPRESSHITLESS configuration are taken into account. 26 ) Inserted management of specific forcing commands for EPS and HST protection: these commands are used during maintenance operation on MAIN MULDEM board (pin MAIN3 and MAIN4).

A.1 : Functions and configurations


ULS NE has the aim to multiplexer/demultiplexer the main tributaries (up to 16xE1 / 16xDS1 or 1xE3 / 1xDS3) with different modulation formats. The following Tab. 16. resumes the relation among market, tributaries and modulation. Tab. 16. Markets, tributaries and modulations forecasted Market Tributary 2xE1 4xE1 ETSI 8xE1 16xE1 1xE3 4xDS1 8xDS1 ANSI 16xDS1 1xDS3 Modulation 4QAM 4QAM / 16QAM 4QAM /16QAM 4QAM / 16QAM 4QAM / 16QAM 4QAM 4QAM /16QAM 4QAM / 16QAM 4QAM / 16QAM

The main functions performed by IDU and ODU of ULS equipment are the following: Multiplexer/Demultiplexer The multiplexer function receives main tributaries (see Tab. 16. above) and generates a PDH frame. The demultiplexer function receives a PDH frame and generates main tributaries. Signal Protection switch (if any) The function provides one protection channel for the main signal against channelassociated failures for both hardware failures and temporary signals degradation or losses due to propagation effects (e.g. rain) according to equipment configuration. Radio Physical Interface The function converts a radio frequency signal into an internal logic level signal, and vice versa (RPPI). Specifically, the following functions are performed: Modulation and Tx functions in the transmit side Demodulation and Rx functions in the receive side

ULS NE can be composed by: one radio channel (1+0 configurations); two radio channels (1+1 configurations). The 2+0 configuration is not supported.

A.2.4 : Remote Inventory Management The Remote Inventory feature allows to store the information useful to identify the components of the product. From management point of view the Remote Inventory data are provided by the following equipment types: Main Unit (M24S, M4860S) Extension Unit (E24S, E4860S) Ethernet plugin (P2DATAS) PDH Tributary optional plugsin (P8E1DS1, P1E3DS3) ODU unit (ODUE, ODUA) For all the other equipment types the remoteInventoryStatus columnar object assumes the value unavailable. The RI data of each subcomponents unit (i.e. MONOM in the IDU, MILOU in the ODU) cannot be seen at SNMP management interface but only by means of factory tools. Also the information about the equipment type can be read from the remote inventory data (Unit mnemonic field). All the units must be provided in its own remote inventory data this type of information. It is used to identify the actual equipment type and then, eventually, to provide an equipment mismatch alarm, if the equipment type read from remote inventory data is different from the equipment expected provided by the managers. If it is not possible to read the Remote Inventory information, a Card Fail alarm is declared.

This equipment local software comprises programs and configuration data. Programs and data are managed differently from each other: a) SW resident in Equipment Controller and Flash Card Whole Equipment SW (programs and configuration data) is contained in the Flash Card housed in MAIN units PQ/ECRC subunit (the Flash Card contains also the software (programs and configuration data) relevant to the peripheral units, i.e., in the figure RTs). See Fig. 164. and Fig. 165. on page 259. This flash card is removable (i.e. replaceable), and the programs can be overwritten by a SW download from CT (through F interface) or Network Management Operation System (through Ethernet interface) to the MAIN unit. More precisely, as shown in Fig. 167. on page 267, the Flash Card contains two independent instances of the Equipment SW programs (one active, the other standby), so that the above cited SW download is actually done toward the standby instance, while equipment goes on working with the SW programs of the active instance. Swapping between the two instances is done only under Operators request. b) SW resident in Peripheral Units The Peripheral units (RTs) contain their own local SW (programs and configuration data), housed in a local Flash Eprom (physically not removable). The programs in this local Flash Eprom can be overwritten by means of a SW download from the Equipment Controller with the same activestandby duplication described before for the Equipment Controller. c) Equipment Configuration Data The whole equipment configuration data (together with programs) are stored in the MAIN unit PQ/ECRC subunit Flash Card. Refer to point B.2.3 on page 267 for details.

SW instances

MIB NE Data Base configuration NE network routing data

Fig. 167. Flash Card content [1] SW instances The SW COMMIT VERSION is that used by the system. The SW STANDBY VERSION instance is created the first time a SW download from ECT to the NE is carried out. A new SWP download is envisaged whenever a new SWP package version or release (new with respect to that presently loaded in the system) is supplied to Customer (*). (*) for the meaning of SWP package version and release refer to para.E.3.2 on page 294. As supplied by Alcatel factory: usually only the SW COMMIT VERSION is present unless differently required by Customer, the SWPversion downloaded in Factory is the most recently released at the date of Flash Card delivery to the Customer.

The management of these SW instances is described in Chapter 212 Software Management on page 209. [2] NE data N.B. as shown in Fig. 167. above, differently from SW instances, NE data are present as single instances in the Flash Card. Base configuration It is defined by Flash Card P/N. It is not changeable, but with Flash Card upgrade (see chapter 14 on page 73).

b)

MIB Most (but not all) configuration data set is named MIB (Management Information Base). Such data are defined by Craft Terminal and can be changed only within the limits (Base configuration) implicitly defined by the employed Flash Card type. As supplied by Alcatel factory: if the Flash card is supplied together with 9400AWY equipment, NE configuration data are consistent with the actual HW configuration if the Flash card is supplied alone, usually and unless differently required by Customer, NE configuration data are set to default values MIB can be saved as a file in the Craft Terminal environment, as well can be restored in the Flash Card retrieving this file from the Craft Terminal, as described in detail in Chapter 213 MIB Management on page 213.

c)

NE network routing data Defined by Craft Terminal, they are: 1. Local configuration Systems local address 2. NTP server configuration 3. 4. Interface configuration IP configuration NMS configuration Ethernet configuration IP Static Routing configuration OSPF AREA configuration

All those listed parameter are NOT stored into the MIB file because considered unique to a particular system in a network and are NOT meant to be reproduced on other systems in the same network because will cause conflicts in the supervision network centre. As supplied by Alcatel factory: if, before delivery, Customer communicates the NE network routing data values, they are stored in the supplied Flash card by Factory otherwise, the NE network routing data are set to default values. [3] System restart The system restart (reloading of all RAMs present in the system with information stored in the Flash Card) is without traffic interruption and is carried out: after the activation of a new SWP after power off/on after EC/OC reset (manual of after new SWP activation) after plugin insertion [4] FPGA download As a whole, the correct performance of a certain SWP is granted if the system software works together with the FPGAs SW versions specifically required by the SWP itself. When a new SWP is loaded into the NE, the SW versions present in the equipped FPGA may not be consistent with those expected, so FPGA upgrade could be necessary. When a new SWP is loaded from ECT into the ULS NE, also the SW images of FPGAs are loaded into the PQ/ECRC. Each of these SW images is downloaded automatically toward the relevant FPGA only in case the FPGA version currently running is lower than that made available by the new SWP. The FPGA version comparison and the possible FPGA download are without traffic interruption and are launched every time a system restart is carried out.

B.3.1 : Interfaces (see Fig. 163. on page 259): The NE can be controlled by the OS (e.g. Alcatel 1353SH) through the Ethernet interface. ECT (Equipment Craft Terminal, briefly Craft Terminal) can be connected to the MAIN unit through a RS232 interface (F interface). This connection can be: local (ECT) through a suitable cable supplied with the equipment, or remote (RECT) as explained in following para.B.3.3 and B.3.4 on page 269 remote through a ECTequipment connection via public switched telephone network, as explained in Appendix D on page 275.

B.3.2 : OperatorEquipment Interaction 1) The Local Operator can manage the Equipment software programs and most configuration data through the Equipment Craft Terminal 1320CT connected to the F interface (see Fig. 166. on page 260 and Fig. 163. on page 259). The Craft Terminal characteristics (computer configuration) are listed in chapter 42 on page 237. The Craft Terminal is a project in charge of the local management of single network elements, providing ITU compliant Information Model Interface to the Network Element. Multiple NE management up to 128 Network elements is possible obtaining a remote Craft Terminal application. The general information on the Craft Terminal is presented in the: 1320CT Basic Craft Terminal Operators Handbook (REF.[G] on page 292)

that the operator has to read before this Handbook. In this Handbook is given the general description regarding use, navigation, rules, etc., common to all the NE using the same Craft Terminal. Furthermore, the same handbook contains the detailed description of common operations as Installation and common screens as Network Element Synthesis view. The Network Element Synthesis view is the first view presented to the operator entering the application. Starting from this view it is possible to login to the NE and then to enter the EMLULS views. This Operators Handbook deals with the EMLULS views of the Craft Terminal, which directly allows to manage the Network Element. A detailed description of the 9400AWY EMLULS screens is given in the dedicated Section of this handbook: SECTION 2: NE MANAGEMENT on page 75

B.3.3 : ECT

9400AWY Rel.2.0 Line Up Guide (REF.[C] on page 291)

ALCATEL TMN management products 1320 CT called Craft Terminals (CT) consists of a compatible personal computer and application software specially developed for monitoring transmission equipment. The CT designed to monitor a single transmission equipment is called Equipment Craft Terminal (ECT) or 1320CT. For each 9400AWY station an ALCATEL proprietary SWP (SoftWare Package) is employed, which depends on the productrelease and the NE (Network Element) associated to the specific configuration. B.3.4 : RECT The Remote Equipment Craft Terminal is a feature only present in the Single NE Link architecture which allows the local operator, using an ECT connected to the F interface of the NE, to zoom and perform a complete set of management operations on all the reachable NEs in the network. The Remote NE can be physically reached through the NMS channels or Ethernet LAN. RECT can be connected to any NE pertaining to the same area of the local NE and to any NE pertaining to different areas (assuming that the DCN network has been correctly designed and hence interarea communication is possible from networking viewpoint). Of course, due to the limitation of the physical resources in the Equipment Controller of the NE, some network design constraints must be taken into account as the total number of managed NEs (128). The RECT features and limitations are briefly the following: 1) 2) The RECT function provides a remote login facility similar to those offered by an OS to manage several configured NEs, included the local one. The contemporaneous presence of the RECT function and an OS is possible. The access disable flag avoids access conflict between the OS and both RECT and ECT on some operations as configuration modification and remote control with access filtering. The NE which may be remotely controlled by a RECT must be configured and must be loaded with the same SW version supporting the RECT function. A NE not supporting RECT function shall refuse the incoming association issued by a RECT and the ECT displays only local information. Only three RECTs shall be active at a time over one NE. The coexistence of ECTs and RECTs in the whole network is guaranteed since the conflict in configuring the NEs is solved locally by the NE itself. The operator, through the RECT function, is able to see the alarm synthesis of the whole network . In a network the maximum number of NEs equipped with the RECT function are 128. This value identifies what it is understood as small network for which the RECT function may replace the Element Manager.

Network Element already configured with the more recent SWP version and Craft Terminal already available. NE ECT ECT release = NE release A.B.c A.B.c ECT version = NE version This is the typical situation of new installations: the Network Element SW configuration matches the available Craft Terminal SWP version, so that the NE can be loggedin and the Operator can carry out the required operations, without any preliminary actions.

2)

Network Element already configured with the more recent SWP version, but the Craft Terminal is not available or has a version older with respect to that of the Network Element(s). NE ECT ECT release = NE release A.B.d A.B.c ECT version < NE version In this case, carry out SWP installation in Craft Terminal environment as explained in Chapter 11 on page 21. After that, the situation is equal to that of point 1 ) above.

3)

Both Network Element and Craft Terminal already configured with a SWP version older than that made available by the a new SWP version (SAME RELEASE) ECT A.B.c NE running release = SWP release SWP CDROM A.B.d

A.B.c

running version < SWP version

This could be the typical situation of installations already running with A.B SWP package (e.g.2.0.0), in the case a newer version of the same A.B SWP package has to be installed (e.g.2.0.1). Refer to Chapter 13 on page 72. After that, the situation is equal to that of point 1 ) above. N.B. Please refer to para.E.3.2 on page 294 for the meaning of SWP Release, Version and Patch Level.

D.4 : Modem setting


D.4.1 : Setting of Sportster Flash Modem & 3Com 56K Faxmodem This modem requires only a SW setting via serial port. There is a little difference between local and remote modems setting (refer to Fig. 169. on page 275 for the distinction between local and remote), relevant to the autoanswer option that must be set in the remote modem and not set in the local modem. LOCAL MODEM SETTING To set the local modem, proceed as follows: 1) Only for external modem: connect the local modem to the PC/ECT with the cable of Fig. 170. on page 277. Only for external modem: Power and switch on the local modem. On the PC, activate program HyperTerminal and configure the PCModem serial line with the following parameters: * Bits per second: 38400 * Data Bits: 8 * Parity: None * Stop Bit: 1 * Flow control: None 4) Execute and store the modem setup, writing the following commands in the HyperTerminal program window: AT&F1<Return> ATT<Return> ATX3<Return> AT&W0<Return> 5) (Best PC default configuration recall) (Tone Dialling instead than Pulse Dialling) (Second Signal disabling, avoids problems with PABX) (Configuration store in NVRAM 0)

2) 3)

Now, setting has been completed. External Modem can be switched off and disconnected, if necessary.

D.7 : Changing the ECTequipment connection speed


D.7.1 : Introduction This feature is meant to use modems with speed different from that documented in previous paragraphs, giving the possibility to configure the ECT connection through modem (speed values: 9600, 19200, 38400, 56000) with automatic management of modem setup and phone call at ECT startup. As a matter of fact, this feature is not enough to set up the desired configuration. To make change operative, the following operations should be necessary: at equipment side, special pshell text commands must be forwarded through a special cable to be plugged inside the equipment at PC side, the configuration must be setup as explained in the following para.D.7.2 on page 284.

All rights reserved. Passing on and copying of this document, use and communication of its contents not permitted without written authorization from Alcatel.

The default speed is 38400 and must not be changed by Customer ! Customers who need the change of modem speed must require the operation to be performed by the Technical Assistance Center (TAC) of relevant Alcatel Selling or Supporting Unit.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THIS FEATURE WITHOUT TAC ASSISTANCE. YOU COULD CAUSE UNRECOVERABLE ECT INACCESSIBILITY.

E.3 : General on Alcatel Customer Documentation


This paragraph describes in general the Alcatel Customer Documentation system, details the association between the product levels and the associated documentation, and explains Customer Documentation characteristics as well as the policies for its delivery and updating. This paragraph is fully applicable to the 2nd generation Radio Product families of Alcatel WTD (Wireless Transmission Division) only.

All rights reserved. Passing on and copying of this document, use and communication of its contents not permitted without written authorization from Alcatel.

E.3.1 : CustomerIndependent Standard Customer Documentation a) Definition Standard Customer Documentation, referred to hereafter, must be always meant as plantindependent and is always independent of any Customization. Plantdependent and/or Customized documentation, if envisaged by the contract, is subjected to commercial criteria as far as contents, formats and supply conditions are concerned N.B. b) Plantdependent and Customized documentation is not described here.

Aims of standard Customer Documentation Standard system, hardware and software documentation is meant to give the Customer personnel the possibility and the information necessary for installing, commissioning, operating, and maintaining the equipment according to Alcatel Laboratory design and Installation Dept. choices. In particular: N.B. the contents of the handbooks associated to the software applications focus on the explanation of the manmachine interface and of the operating procedures allowed by it; maintenance is described down to faulty PCB location and replacement. No supply to Customers of design documentation (like PCB hardware design and production documents and files, software source programs, programming tools, etc.) is envisaged.

E.3.2 : Product levels and associated Customer Documentation See Fig. 175. on page 295. a) Products A product is defined by the network hierarchical level where it can be inserted and by the whole of performances and services that it is meant for. E.g. 9400 AWY is a product. b) Product-releases A product evolves through successive productreleases, which are the real products marketed for their delivery at a certain productrelease availability date. A certain productrelease performs more functionalities than the previous one. E.g. Rel.1.0 and Rel.2.0 are two successive productreleases of the same product. A productrelease comprehends a set of hardware components and at least one Software Package (SWP); as a whole, they identify the possible network applications and the equipment performances that the specific productrelease has been designed, engineered, and marketed for. c) Configurations and Network Elements In some cases, a productrelease includes different possible configurations which are distinguished from one another by different Network Element (NE) types and, from the management point of view, by different SWPs. d) SWP Releases and Versions See Fig. 174. herebelow. A SWP is identified by the configuration name and by the version number (tree digits). The versions first digit corresponds to the productrelease number first digit; the second digit identifies, together with the first, the SWP release. The third digit of the SWP version identifies the Patch Level of the SWP Release. SWP version SWP Release Product Releases first digit SWP evolution for bug fixing purposes and/or minor additional features (same SWP Release within same ProductRelease) SWP evolution for main additional features (new SWP Release within same ProductRelease) (N.B. see next page) SWP evolution for additional features (new SWP Release of a new ProductRelease)

E.3.3 : Handbook and CDROM supply to Customers a) Standard supply Handbooks and CDROMs are standard commercial items and are ordered and delivered as any other Alcatel commercial item. Handbooks and CDROMs are not automatically delivered together with the equipment they refer to. The number of handbooks or CDROMs per type to be supplied must be decided at contract level. b) Productdocumentation consistency Equipment description and layout are always general, i.e. they never describe the actual composition of the equipment supplied to Customer (this task is entrusted to plantdependent documentation). Detailed hardware documentation concerns actually supplied units and is coherent with the production issue of such units. Softwareassociated handbooks are coherent with the supplied SWP release. Copies of the handbooks regarding a specific productrelease previously delivered can be required specifying P/N and edition. c) Inadvance supply Whenever handbooks or CDROMs are delivered before the relevant equipment delivery, there is the risk that their contents might not agree with the characteristics of the equipment which will be delivered: the more they are in advance the less are they likely to agree. d) Supplying updated handbooks and CDROMs to Customers Supplying updated handbooks or CDROMs to Customers who have already received previous issues is subject to commercial criteria. By updated handbook delivery, we mean the supply of a complete copy of a new issue of the handbook (supplying erratacorrige sheets is not envisaged). e) Copyright notification The technical information of the handbooks and CDROMs supplied to Customers is the property of ALCATEL and must not be copied, reproduced or disclosed to a third party without written consent. f) Supply to Customers of Customer Documentation source files Presently not envisaged.

APPENDIX G : GLOSSARY OF TERMS


Acknowledgment: When an alarm is taken into account by the application, the operator has to acknowledge it to point out that he has seen it and that he will react in the right way. During alarm configuration it is possible to set a maximum delay for alarm acknowledgement. The operator can decide whether or not the alarm clear has to be acknowledged. Administrator: A user who has access rights to all the Management Domains of the Craft Terminal product. He has access to the whole network and to all the management functionalities. Alarm: An alerting indication to a condition that may have an immediate or potentially negative impact on the state of an equipment or the CT. An alarm is characterized by an alarm begin and an alarm end. Alarm Profile: Function allowing the assignment of severities to the alarms depending on their probable causes. Alarm Status: Identifies the type and severity of an occurring alarm. Board: A board is part of an NE. They are electronic cards that fit into slots in the NE. Compact Disk Read Only Memory: Data saving support from which the information can only be read. Is useful for stocking data due to its available memory space. Craft Terminal: Workstation or Personal computer (PC) from which local address to an NE is possible. It can be used to configure or perform monitoring tasks on the NE. Digital Communication network: Communication Network in which the transmission of data is done in a digitized format. Element Management Layer: This application is responsible for the configuration and management of Network Elements. Equipment Protection Switching: Used to provide protection for cards within an equipment to protect traffic in the event of card failure. Flushing: This deals with logs. When a log is flushed, all its records are deleted. Functional Access Domain: It defines the range of functions which are available to a specified user. Human Machine Interface: It is the graphical user interface application through which the operators interact with the system. History Report: This function enables operators to get information concerning performances, security or alarms on entities composing the network, or on the network itself. The operator specifies the time period for which he requires the report.

International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee: Standard organization for telecommunications. Now called the ITUT (International Telecommunication Union). Kilobits per second: Unit that correspond to the transmission of 103 bits every second. Line Terminal: A line terminal is the end point of a communication link. it is used to transmit or receive signals. They can undertake signal conversion functions (adapting a signal to two different transmission media) or multiplexing/demultiplexing functions. Logs: Logs are files used to store history data concerning the incoming notifications, operator commands and system alarms. The size of the log can be configured. Management Domain: The Craft Terminal product is partitioned into management domains for functional proposes. Each management domain is associated with functionalities that enable the operators to manage the NEs. Megabits per second: Unit that corresponds to the transmission of 106 bits every second. Network Access Domain: Defined as a set of Network Elements. NADs are used to define the set of Network Elements that a user can manage. Network Element: Either a telecommunication equipment or groups parts of a Telecommunication Network. Have characteristics compliant with CCITT recommendations. Network Management Level: Designates the management functions performed on networks elements assembled in a network. Notification: Spontaneous data received by the system concerning an NE. Operation System: A system dedicated to the supervision of NEs in a standard way, using protocols and interfaces. it offers to the operator a set of functions necessary to supervise the NEs. The 1353SH is an Operation System. Operator: The enduser of the Craft Terminal. He supervises a part of the network that is dependant on his user profile. Physical Interface: Electrical or Electrical/Optical transformers that decouple the line signals and adapt the form of signal for further transmission. This functional block also manages clock extraction, signal loss monitoring and loopback functions. Port: A physical point at which the Network Element can be attached to a transmission medium. A port is either a termination point or an origination point.

Telecommunication Management Network: Defines the concept of interoperable management of TNs. They provide an organized network structure to achieve the interconnection of the different components of the TN and the services to process the information. Telecommunication Network: Describes the network to be managed. Provides the transmission, the transport and the switching supports to the interconnected Network Elements. Terminal Point: Describes either the origin or the termination of a signal in an equipment. Is related to a port. Thresholding: This is the assignment of a specified value to monitored parameters ( for example BIt Error Rates) that, when exceeded, generate trouble indications. User Profile: Identifies the functionalities of the Craft Terminal to which a user has access. A finite number of predefined user profiles is determined by a fixed set of FADs. To give user access to Craft Terminal functionality, the administrator must assign a profile to a UNIX user account by choosing one among the predefined profiles installed with Craft Terminal. User Service Manager: These are presentation processes used by the Craft Terminal to manage the Human Machine Interface and facilitate the interaction with the product.
