The Opti-Trace OTS Shelf Management (OTS) with system3000.mib v1.33, is a Microsoft® Windows-based
application.
Aurora Networks OTS program is a Graphical User Interface (GUI) application that can be loaded on a PC
running Windows 2000/XP® operating system.
This application monitors and controls applicable Aurora Networks plug-in modules installed in any CH3000
chassis, using SNMP protocol over your network. The following graphic depicts a CH3000 chassis with an
installed CX3001 Communications Module connected to an operator’s PC.
&;W\SLFDOO\UHVLGHVLQ
VORWRIWKH&+FKDVVLV
Once installed, the OTS can be used to monitor and control network elements installed in the CH3000 Chassis
(or shelf). The OTS communicates with the hardware layer (via 10BaseT and RJ45 interface) using the SNMP
agent residing in an Aurora Networks CX3001 Communications Module.
The OTS complements monitoring of Aurora Networks’ optical transmission platforms and associated network
elements through higher-level management systems. It allows for quick configuration via SNMP and supports
diagnostic functions in the event that alarm conditions are detected in any of the monitored platforms.
Being an SNMP-based application, OTS allows you to monitor and control all active modules on the shelf in an
IP-based network. Similar to Aurora Networks’ Craft Management System (CMS), OTS provides access to
selective alarm and configuration information from external broadcast transmitters and fiber nodes.
This guide covers specifically the OTS application. For details concerning the EMS application,
see the “EMS Installation and Configuration Guide” (TM 87-10048).

you will see the following popup window. As a result, some of the necessary support files will not be copied onto
your system.
For successful installation on your company’s particular system, you as the user must be logged in as
“administrator”. If your company has special policies regarding the downloading of executable files, contact
your IT department.
The following shows an example of the Opti-Trace Shelf desktop shortcut icon.
Except for these three scenarios, the OTS installer should be able to update MIB files.
If the OTS installer is prevented from updating the MIB files, the solution is to manually delete the existing MIB
files from the system and perform a reinstall. (For the web-based version, simply re-run the downloaded
installation program. For the CD-based version, insert the CD and select the “Repair” option from the installation
menu.
Click either the OTS icon if displayed as a desktop icon or locate the Opti-Trace Shelf executable in the Program
Files folder or where locally stored on your PC.
Upon opening the GUI for the first time, the OTS application attempts to connect to a module with an IP address
of 127.0.0.1 (default address used by OTS).
As a result, a popup window will display as shown indicating that the connection to the host failed. Remember
and as described in Chapter 1, in order to establish a successful connection to the module/chassis, you must
determine a valid IP address. For a brief overview of the connection process, see the following steps and for a
detailed description, see Section 5.2.
Upon clicking OK, the OTS interface displays with the following banner:
127.0.0.1 - Aurora Opti-Trace Shelf - Connection Failed.
The last IP address entered upon a successful connection prior to closing the application brings
up or uses that IP address when re-opening the OTS.
You may use the CMS application or the front panel of the power supply to view the currently
assigned IP address of the CX3001 Communications Module.
To learn how to determine a valid IP address and details pertaining to connecting to a chassis, see Section 6.
This graphic illustrates the hoverable capabilities of OTS when you mouseover a module icon. This graphic
also shows as an example, that a power supply (PS3002N) resides in Slot 16 and is in normal operating
(green-colored icon) condition.
This graphic shows a preconfigured view of the shelf with all View submenu commands enabled (default) and

This chapter demonstrates how to use the four standard GUI tabs to access critical module information, namely
the:
• Status Tab (default window)
• Alarms Tab
• User Setup Tab
• Module Info Tab
The number and types of tabs are dependent upon the type of module; for example, the NI3000
Network Interface Module contains a fifth tab (the Ethernet Tab) and the DR3002 Digital
Receiver also contains a fifth tab (the RF Control Tab).
As examples, this chapter uses the CX3001 Communications Module and the DR3002 Digital
Receiver to demonstrate the use of tabs.
See Section 7 Additional Chassis Module Examples for examples of tabs and screens associated with other
modules that may be installed in the CH3000 Chassis. Chapter 7 specifically highlights the DR30002 Digital
receiver and the FA3524S Fiber Amplifier.
For details concerning the information presented on the Status, Alarms, User Setup, and Module Information
tabs for particular types of modules, see the associated hardware technical manual and application note.
If you see a red, yellow, or blue ALARMS heading at the top of any tabbed screen, click the
module’s Alarms tab to see alarm details associated with this particular module.
All MAJOR alarms are service affecting. All MINOR alarms are non-service affecting.
The following screen is an example of a textual alarm report for the CX3001 which lists in tabular form the
severity level (MAJOR) and (MINOR) alarms for this module.
You can also use OTS to configure your system to receive notifications (audible sounds and/or emails) when a
trap event occurs.
After opening a module, simply click the Alarms Tab.
The following graphics depict the Alarms screens for two representative modules (a CX3001 Communications
Module and a DR3002 Digital Receiver).
One of the most important aspects of this graphic is alarm information for Receiver 1 and Receiver 2.
For all three of the above-mentioned alarm controls, the user must have Operator privileges.

Module.
The Trap Receiver List window is divided into three major groups:
• Device Info (IP Address of the specified device, Device Name and Slot number)
• Trap Receiver Setup (add/delete a device)
• Generic Trap Setup (Enable SNMP Cold Start Trap and Enable SNMP Authentication Failure Trap)
In this example, the operator set up three workstations/PCs to receive traps: Station#1, 10.10.101.54; Station#2,
10. 10.100.44; and Station#3, 10. 10.100.33. This host table represents a table of recipients for traps on the
standard UDP port 162.
After setting up the host lists, any trap will cause an SNMP compliant text message to be sent to every host listed.
2. To add a workstation/PC to receive traps, simply enter a user-friendly Host Name and IP Address,
then click Add Host>Refresh button.
5. To delete one host, select a host from the host list, click the Delete Host(s) button. To delete
multiple hosts, select (highlight) the hosts then press the Ctrl key).The following popup window
displays.
5.11 Setting Shelf Alarm Trap Replay and Transceiver Alarm Summary
The shelf General Options command is typically used for diagnostic purposes.
1. Simply select Options>General from the main menu. The General Options window displays, as
shown.
To disable continuous trap reporting, uncheck the Shelf Alarm Trap Replay checkbox.
In relationship to the Note in the above screen, see the graphic at the end of this section which shows an example
of the receiver’s (DR3002) Alarms tab with special attention to the Transceiver Summary group.
As indicated on the screen, for newer software versions, use the receiver’s Alarms tab. See Section 7.3 DR3002
Alarms Tab.
However, this button changes colors and state when the following conditions occur:
• Blinking red indicates a new trap arrived since the user last opened the Trap View window.
• Steady red indicates that the user has viewed all the received traps in the Trap View window.
• Steady black indicates that no traps are present in the Trap View window.
The Trap View button remains red (steady state) until you perform a Clear All or Delete. After performing a
Clear All or Delete, the Trap View button turns back to black (steady state).
The OTS provides several different trap notification methods besides a blinking red Trap View button. You can
also configure your workstation/PC to receive trap alert messages and/or sounds. See the following section,
Section 5.12.1 Configuring Alerts and Sounds for Incoming Traps for details on how to set up your system
to receive trap notifications.
If you want continuous shelf summary trap replay, select Options>General menu.
Only one running application can receive traps on any particular PC. See the following screen.
The following screen indicates that port 162 (standard UDP port) is being used by another application and
therefore is unable to receive traps.
The Trap View window provides detailed trap information, such as:
• Severity (MAJOR, MINOR, NORMAL, and INFO)
• Source
• Date and Time
• Description
The following Trap View illustrates traps received from several modules and types of severity levels.
1. Simply select Options>Alerts and Sounds... from the main menu. The default Alerts & Sounds
window displays.
2. To enable an alert/sound, check the Enable alert sounds box and then select (highlight) one of the
three choices of traps: MAJOR/MINOR/INFO. You must enable the Enable alert sounds for this
command to take effect.
If you want an alert message an/or sound to notify you when a trap is sent, you must configure each
of the three types of traps (MAJOR/MINOR/INFO) individually.
4. To be alerted by a sound, check the Playing a sound checkbox and then select the Browse button
to select the directory/folder/sound file of your choice.
Upon locating/selecting a sound file, the blank button immediately changes to identify the location of your
selected sound. To easily access your specified sound file or change to a different sound, simply click the file
location button or the Browse button.
The following graphic shows that the user selected “When MAJOR Trap comes” to be alerted by
a popup window and a sound file, in this case pop8.wav.
The following screen illustrates that a MAJOR trap has been received (shown as a message box). While traps are
being received, the Trap View button blinks red in color, as shown.
The following screen shows using a popular email application, a sent trap associated with the NI3000 Network
Interface Module. Note information such as the IP address, severity level of the trap, date and time and
description is listed.
To clear the entire trap view window, simply select a single trap, then select the Clear All or Delete command
from the drop down menu.
The following graphic specifically depicts a continuous group of selected traps to be deleted.
When you close the OTS application, you will lose all data displayed in the Trap View window.
The log file significantly increases in size. Therefore, creating and using log files is recommended
only for tracking a small number of SNMP transactions to aid in troubleshooting.
At the Trap Log screen you can perform the following:
• Refresh the log history
• Clear the log history
• Save the log(s) to a file
The trap log shows only the history of traps in a single chassis, i.e., 10.10.100.123.
As another example, the following graphic shows the Trap Log. Notice that log #117 shows a red-colored
MAJOR alarm, and log #116 shows a green-colored NORMAL alarm icon, representing normal module
operation, and log #112 shows a blue-colored INFO alarm icon, representing an information-only alarm. Also
note that the logs listed are associated with the CX3001 and the AR3002 modules.
To save the trap log to a file, simply select the Save To File... button. The saved log file will be saved as a .csv
file, in a comma separated values format.
After clearing the trap log, if you wish to view incoming trap logs, simply click the Refresh button and you will
see the latest incoming logs.
To clear all current logs (without displaying the final trap log), simply uncheck the Shelf Alarm Trap Replay
checkbox in the Options>General menu prior to clicking the Clear History button. A progress bar displays
indicating that this process has been initiated and an INFO log displays indicating that the entire trap log was
cleared, as shown.
The OTS must first be configured to receive traps (as described in Section 5.10 Setting Up Trap
Host List) prior to sending emails.
To configure OTS to send emails pertaining to traps, simply select Tools>OTS Email Configuration from the
main menu then select the Enable e-mail feature checkbox, as shown.
You can configure each email recipient to receive traps dependent on the following severity levels as listed in the
Trap Selection:
• Major
• Minor
• Info
• Normal
xxxx.xxx.com
The OTS Email Configuration window consists of the following major groups:
• Recipient Email Addresses and To, Cc, and Bcc drop-down list
• Sender Email Configuration
• Trap Selection (Major, Minor, Info, Normal)
• Email Statistics
5.14.1 Adding a Recipient’s Email Address
Under the Recipient Email Addresses group:
1. Enter the recipient’s name and email address in the Recipient Name and Recipient Email Address
box.
At Trap Selection , check the trap types (Major, Minor, Info, Normal) that you would like to
send.
3. Click the Add Recipient button. The recipient’s name and email address will display in the
Recipient Email Addresses box.
4. Click OK.
1. Simply highlight the recipient’s name in the Recipient Email Address box and then select the
Delete Recipient button.
2. Select Yes to remove the specified recipient from the Recipient Email Addresses list.
3. Enter the Subject Field Test (Re:), for example OTS Traps.
4. Check the Enable e-mail feature checkbox. (This is an OTS global command and must be
enabled.)

If sending an email fails, the Email Statistics group displays the following attributes associated with the emails:
• Sent Email Count (the number of emails sent)
• Failed Email Count (the number of failed emails sent)
• Last Failed Reason (contains a text message, such as “Could not connect to SMTP Server.
Error: 10022”.)
A reason why the above message may display is that there is no SMTP server on that device.
To clear the counters to zero, (reset the Sent Email Count and Failed Email Count), simply select the
Clear Counters button.
• Monitors any single device external to the chassis that is capable of RS-232 communications and for which
the communications protocol (handshaking, command and message formats) has been determined. The
RS-232 serial interface communications port on the CX3001 provides this type of communication. The only
device that currently supports monitoring through the CX3001’s serial port is the AT1550 analog broadcast
transmitter and the CX3001 can only monitor a single AT1550 transmitter.
• Monitors the chassis mid-plane alarm line that can be driven by any active module when a service-affecting
(MAJOR) alarm occurs.
• Supports Normally Closed (NC), Normally Open (NO), and Common (COM) contacts that can be used to
drive external alarm sensing equipment whenever a chassis alarm is detected through the mid-plane alarm
line.
• Provides a 12V DC backup power interface connector that can be used to connect to an optional external
backup power source to the CH3000 shelf.
The CX3001 Communications Module maintains an SNMP trap log that is time stamped based on the system
clock time. This module is factory-programmed for GMT time. However, the time is user-configurable, therefore
an operator can set the system time to their local time.
The CX3001 Communications Module Status window is divided into the following four major groups:
• Module Information
• System Up Time
• Input Port
• Output Port
Attributes Definition
Module Info
12V, 5V, 3.3V DC Displays the current measured DC voltage levels.
System Up Time Indicates how long the system has been running in days, hours and minutes. Example: 14
days, 1 hour, 4 minutes.
Fan Speed Provides fan status. NOTE: The fan can only be replaced by an Aurora Network’s technical
support representative.
Shelf Backup When detected by the CX, indicates if a shelf power supply backup unit is present in this
shelf/chassis. Values are Present or Absent.
Ext 12V on CX Indicates if an external 12V power supply is connected to the CX. Values are Present or Not
Present.
Shelf Alarm Status Indicates that the CX’s shelf alarm status is either Active or Inactive. Active shelf alarm
status is monitored from the Alarms tab when the alarm(s) are enabled.
6.5.1 RF Alarm, Backup Power Alarm, and Clear Alarm History Configuration
Also at the CX3001 Alarms screen, you can enable/disable the RF Alarm and Backup Power Alarm (backup
power supply).

Aurora Networks defines private branches that include managed objects for Opti-Trace applications in a custom
branch.
Listed below are the three MIB files you will have on your system after downloading OTS:
• mib_ii.mib
• smi.mib
• system3000.mib (Aurora Enterprise MIB)
The most important MIB files is the system3000.mib because the following components rely on the data supplied
by this MIB:
• shelf/chassis
• third party vendors
• latest version number required by customers
When you install OTS from your CD, the latest version of the sys3000.mib also is installed in the same location
as the application.
The following example is a partial listing of the system3000.mib file.
