EMS Pull-Down Menus Section 7Element Management System (EMS) 4.0 User Manual60The View menu is built at start up and rebuilt whenever calaloging is requested by a user selection of ToolsÞRefresh Catalog. Table 5 describes the selections available on the View menu.4.1.4 Tools MenuThe Tool s menu, shown in Figure 51, has three items, Refresh Catalog, Opmode, and Host Adapt.Table 5: View Menu ItemsMENU ITEM DESCRIPTIONCatalog This item is always present. Selecting it causes EMS to look for and identify all network elements connected and known. Selecting this item also causes the View menu to be rebuilt. For Catalog display, see Topic 4.2 on page 65.Alarm Overview This item is always present. Selecting this item displays an alarm summary with a an alarm status indicator for each known network element and an alarm history indicator for each alarm that has not been acknowledged. The Alarm Overview is described in Topic 4.3 on page 66.NotNamed/NotNamed This item is only present if a host/remote pair seen by EMS have not yet been given site names. You should assign site names as described in Topic 3.4 on page 31.<SiteName/SiteName> (“Askov/Tower,” for example) displays the selected host/remote pair alarm windows. From the alarm windows you can select from the listed information tabs including:• For the Host Unit: Alarms, RF, Host, DC Pwr, Ext Alm, Prg Load, and Config (see Topic 4.4, Host Displays, on page 69).• For the Remote Unit: Alarms, RF, STM, DC Pwr, Ext Alm, Prg Load, and Config (see Topic 4.5, Remote Displays, on page 80).

For a description of the modes, refer to Table 6.CAUTION! Care is needed to prevent damage to the system in Test Mode. Test Mode causes the system to ignore alarms that would otherwise prevent RF sig-nals from being transported.4. Select an operating mode using the pull-down menu after first checking the CAUTION statement above.To stop an operating mode for a host/remote pairStop an operating mode by selecting another mode. (In the end, select Norml mode to return the host/remote pair to normal operation.)Table 6: Host Operating ModesMODE DESCRIPTIONPrgLdFPGALdThese modes happens automatically when a control program or FPGA is being downloaded to a network element as described in Topic 3.14 on page 50.Norml This is the normal operating mode. In this mode RF signals can be transported normally.Stdby This mode can be started by selected Stdby from the pull-down menu. In Standby mode, the host unit stops transporting RF signals and tries to conserve power. Stdby mode can be exited by selecting Norml or Test.Test This mode can be started by selecting Test from the pull-down menu. In Test mode, the host/remote pair keeps transporting RF signals even if an alarm exists that would otherwise stop signal transport. This mode is used during installation to turn up a host unit or remote unit and start it transporting RF signals. Alarms would otherwise prevent RF signals from being transported. Test mode can be exited by selecting Norml or Stdby.CAUTION! Care is needed to prevent damage to the system in Test Mode!
Screen-Based Reference EMS Pull-Down MenusElement Management System (EMS) 4.0 User Manual63Selecting Host Adapt activates a function that can be used to match the host unit band and sub-band with the remote unit.To set the Host Unit Band and Sub-Band to match the Remote Unit1. From the Tools menu, select Host Adapt.2. In response to the warning dialog shown in Figure 53, click on Yes. For nor-mal operation, the host unit and remote unit must be set to the same band and sub-band.NOTE: The only practically possible reason you would ever have to answer No to this dialog is if a new remote unit being installed for an existing system was spec-ified incorrectly and thus does not match the existing system band and sub-band. In such a case, as soon as you hook up the remote unit, you will get a Hardware Mismatch error (see Table 10: Host Major Alarms When Faulted on page 69). Forcing the host unit to adapt to the wrong band and sub-band in this situation would result in loss of some existing values for logical channels such as FCC channel numbers and gain settings.Figure 53. Host Adapt Warning4.1.5 Window MenuThe Window menu, at any moment in time, contains an item for each EMS window currently open, either in displayed or minimized form. Clicking on an item causes the corresponding window to come to the foreground (with respect to other displayed windows).The Window menu always contain two items, NOC-NEM Terminal and Alarm Overview because these windows are always open. Figure 54 shows an example of a Window menu containing an additional item for a host/remote pair. Table 7 describes the menu items.

Screen-Based Reference CatalogElement Management System (EMS) 4.0 User Manual654.2 CatalogThe Catalog window, displayed by selecting ViewÞCatalog, displays a table of all network elements currently known to EMS. Figure 55 shows an example. The table contains one row for each host/remote pair. For a description of the fields, refer to Table 9, below.Figure 55. Catalog Example Table 9: Catalog Fields FIELD DESCRIPTIONHost Node Numeric identifier for a particular host unit. This number is assigned by the system.Host Name User-assigned name for the host unit. Equivalent to the “site name.” Can be entered or changed using the Config tab in the Host display (see Topic 4.4.6 on page 78).Remote Node Numeric identifier for a particular remote unit. This number is assigned by the system based on the host node value.Remote Name User-assigned name for the remote unit. Can be entered or changed using the Config tab in the remote display (see Topic 4.5.7 on page 90).Site Number User-assigned number for the host/remote pair. When a new site number is entered, EMS changes the host node and remote node values. (A ToolsÞRefresh Catalog is required for these new values to be correctly displayed.)
Alarm Overview Section 7Element Management System (EMS) 4.0 User Manual664.3 Alarm OverviewThe Alarm Overview window, displayed by selecting ViewÞAlarm Overview, provides a visual alarm summary for all network elements currently known to EMS. Figure 56 shows an example.As shown, the display divides into two side-by-side sections, with host units in the left section and remote units in the right section. Each side-by-side pair of units is one operational host/remote pair. If EMS finds any unit without a pair, just the found unit is shown; the other half of the row is blank. Figure 56. Alarm Overview Example For each network element, there are two indicators, shown in Figure 57:
Screen-Based Reference Alarm OverviewElement Management System (EMS) 4.0 User Manual67Figure 57. Alarm Overview Indicators•(HOST or REMOTE) ALARM STATUS Indicator—Always displays. Indicates whether an alarm exists for the identified unit: •Red = one or more major alarms exist. A major alarm places the identified unit in standby operating mode (stopping RF functions).•Ye l lo w = one or more minor alarms exist at the network element. A minor alarm allows the unit to continue functioning in normal mode. •Green = no alarms exist at the network element.An alarm status indicator in an alarm state (red or yellow) can only be returned to normal (green) by correcting the associated problem in the host or remote unit.•(HOST or REMOTE) ALARM HIST Indicator—Individually labeled “Hist Ack,” displays for a unit when an alarm is reported for that unit. It remains displayed until the alarm is acknowledged within this same window. An individual alarm is acknowledged by clicking on the HIST ACK indicator (as shown in Figure 58) then clicking on the OK button in the Alarm History Info dialog (shown in Figure 59). Figure 58. Clicking on the Alarm History Indicator

As advised in the info window, however, whenever acknowledging an alarm, you should also check the EMS log file for details on how the alarm was reported. Figure 60 shows a log file display in the internet browser. For instructions on using the browser to view the log file, see Topic 3.15 on page 53.Figure 60. Viewing Alarm Details in EMS Log FileFor more information on specific alarms, refer to Topic Topic 4.4.1, Host Alarms Window, on page 69 for host alarm information or to Topic Topic 4.5.1, Remote Alarms Window, on page 80 for remote alarm information.
Screen-Based Reference Host DisplaysElement Management System (EMS) 4.0 User Manual694.4 Host DisplaysThe EMS “host displays” include seven windows with information available for any operational host connected to the EMS/Host/Remote Comm port. The “host unit” in a Digivance SDR system is the Host PCIx Card in the BTS server.4.4.1 Host Alarms WindowThe host Alarms window, shown in Figure 61, contains alarm indicators returned from the host unit. In general, GREEN indicates okay, RED indicates that a major alarm exists, and YELLOW indicates that a minor alarm exists. A major alarm causes RF functions to be halted; a minor alarm allows RF functions to proceed as normal. The indicators are refreshed about every three seconds. Table 10 lists the indicators and describes each one. For a more thorough description, refer to the user manual for the host unit.Figure 61.
