7390 LT software overview 4.1 General information The purpose of this chapter is to present the different screens of the 7390 LT software supplied with the Base Station. The following chapters will make reference to this presentation each time the user needs to access the software for a particular action (commissioning, maintenance or evolution of the configuration). The same screen may apply for several types of action. 4.1.1 Functionalities The 7390 LT software enables: – supervision of both the system assembly as a whole (the NE (Network Element)), and of its subassemblies (BS, NT); – configuration of the sub-assemblies (DBS, RBS, etc.) (used when Commissioning, Chapter 5 Commissioning the Base Station (7390BS)); – setting up services (E1 leased lines, T1 and X21, ISDN, IP cross-connection including VoIP, circuit emulation), (used when Commissioning, Chapter 6 Operation and maintenance); – downloading, NE configuration back-up and restoration (used in Maintenance, Chapter 6 Operation and maintenance); – display of the system redundancy state; – management of external points. – radio performances. Note: the 7390 LT software exchanges no information with the radio part of the terminal station (7390 RT). These generate no alarms, and therefore require no other configuration apart from the installation configuration. 4.1.2 Principles of the Man-Machine Interface (MMI) of the 7390 LT The user of the 7390 LT software is expected to be familiar with the operation of software in the Windows NTMT environment. There follows a description of some of the basic principles of the Windows NTMT MMI along with others, more specific to the 7390 LT. 4.1.2.1 Opening, closing and resizing a window Here is a reminder of how the boxes at the top right of an active window are used: Click on... To...... ...minimize the active window to place the application on the taskbar. Click on the taskbar icon to restore the window. ...maximize the window to full-screen size. ...restore a window which was in full-screen size to its original size. ...close the active window. 3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 77/302 182 4.1.2.2 Entry fields The grayed out fields are for consultation only: their content cannot be modified. The fields on a white background can be modified: left-click to make the cursor appear inside the field, then enter the character string required. According to the same principle, the buttons, icons and items in the pull-down menus become grayed out when they are inactive. 4.1.2.3 Confirmation, closing a window, canceling an entry In the lower part of the windows there may be buttons (which may or may not be active; cf. § 4.1.2.2 Entry fields), the principle of which is as follows: Click on... To...... ...confirm the data entry, while keeping the window open. ...close the active window, thereby cancelling any unconfirmed data entries. ...cancel the data entry, while keeping the window open. 4.1.2.4 Sorting and searching in a list Some screens contain lists which may contain many lines; a sort and/or search tool is therefore available via the MMI, in order to facilitate data management: 4.1.2.5 Selecting lines on a list To select a line, click on it and it is highlighted in blue. To select quickly a zone, click on the first line then select and hold down the 'Shift' key, then click on the last line of the desired zone. The zone becomes highlighted in blue. To select several non consecutive lines, hold down the 'Ctrl' key then select line by line the desired elements. 78/302 182 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01 4.1.2.6 Title, menu, button and status message bars The various information and functionalities of the 7390 LT are accessible in several forms of MMI: Title bars (at the top of the main window): for information only; this is the title of the window. Menu bar (below the title bar): each menu contains items. To access, open the pull-down menu by left-clicking on the title, then click on the desired item (for execution it must be active, cf. § 4.1.2.2 Entry fields). Button bar (below the title bar): certain menu functionalities are also directly accessible by clicking on the buttons displayed at the top of the window. Message bar (at the bottom of the active window): messages linked to current events are displayed on the fly in certain windows Status bar (at the bottom of the 7390 LT main window), divided into 2 areas: – on the left: global user's messages (states of progress, error messages, etc.) – on the right: Local access: information about write access: cf. § 4.4.2 Local access requests – Number of NTs: displays the number of NTs declared in the NE. – Most critical alarm: displays the color of the most critical alarm (see alarm color codes, § 4.10.1.2 Alarms color code). 4.1.2.7 Dynamic keys Each time the cursor will stay a few seconds on a button (and on specific field), a textual key on a yellow background defining this button (or field) is displayed. 4.1.3 Rearrangement of active windows During the use of the 7390 LT software, several windows may be active simultaneously. The MMI allows you to rearrange them to optimize their visibility, in classic Windows fashion. Access this function by opening the Windows pull-down menu: 3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 79/302 182 4.1.4 Printing To print all the elements of the list To print all the elements selected in the list To print the elements non selected in the list Color printing Black and white printing Direction of the page: landscape (horizontal) Direction of the page: portrait (vertical) Note: to know how to select lines in lists, see § 4.1.2.5 Selecting lines on a list. 80/302 182 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01 4.2 Running and quitting the software 4.2.1 Installation of the 7390 LT software The 7390 LT is either loaded on the PC which came with the BS, or comes on an installation medium (e.g., CD-ROM). If you need to install the 7390 LT software, refer to the Appendix 2 – Installation of 7390LT software; otherwise, go directly to the next paragraph to run the already installed software. ON THE ETHERNET PORT IT IS RECOMMENDED TO CONFIGURE ONLY ONE IP ADDRESS 4.2.2 Accessing and running 7390 LT To run 7390 LT, go to the Windows taskbar and left-click on the «Start» button: the Start menu is displayed. Next, select the Programs menu followed by the line Craft_Terminal. or: Click on the icon shown here which is on the Windows desktop. To run the 7390 LT, the following screen is displayed: 7390LT software version. Version of the «Info Model» common exchhange database at the Manager (7390LT) side Version of the «Info Model» common exchange database at the Agent (NE) side, filled in automatically upon connection to the NE Short-cut to the Microsoftw system management function (refer to corresponding documentation) Click here to close the About window and work on the main window of the 7390 LT. You can access it again by selecting the heading About 7390 LT (Craft_Terminal) in the ? menu. Note: After NE connexion (cf. § 4.3.1 NE Connection), the database versions at the Manager and Agent sides must be identical. If the LT session cannot open, check if there is any other LT open session. 3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 81/302 182 On the screen displayed, only one icon is active: the choice of language and the NE connection icon: ...click on this icon to access the NE connection (cf. comments in § 4.3.1 NE Connection) 4.2.3 Quitting the 7390 LT To quit the 7390LT, open the Management pull-down menu and click on» Quit» A confirmation dialog box is displayed: Click here to confirm quitting the 7390LT Click here to cancel the request to quit the 7390LT and return to the previous window This operation includes the NE disconnection (cf. § 4.3.2 Disconnecting the NE assembly). 82/302 182 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01 4.3 Connection and Disconnection 4.3.1 NE Connection The NE connection process consists partly in the NE "Agent" identifying the "Manager" and partly in the retrieval of data for the NE assembly on the 7390 LT software by manual request: this involves the updating of site information. ONLY ONE LT SESSION IS OPERATIONAL ON ONE NE. FOR EXAMPLE, A LOCAL LT CONNECTION AND A REMOTE LT CONNECTION AT THE SAME TIME ON THE SAME BS IS NOT POSSIBLE. There are two possible ways of accessing the NE Connection: – click on the first button (provided that it is active; cf. § 4.1.2.2 Entry fields) of the main menu button bar, or else, – open the Management pull-down menu and select the first item: NE Connection. The following screen is displayed: IP Address of the NE to be connected: click in a byte field value (local IP default address value must be: 192.168.99.1 Connection type: with data upload (default selection) Subject of supervision: NE system or BS Network Type: there are two types of network: local (LAN) or remote (WAN): check the button for the type of network corresponding to the system configuration Click here to run the data update procedure In case several interface boards are installed in the PC, the window offers you a choice of boards. 3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 83/302 182 By default, the update is done via FTP. The next screens will be displayed: Note: In order to start the FTP process, there must not be any other FTP service or application running in the PC. Windows NT includes a FTP service that is, by default, desactivated; if it were activated, the operator must stop it from the Services window through the Control Panel. If there were any problem with the FTP process, the craft.ini file must be opened. Change the UploadThruFTP value, it must be: UploadThruFTP=No. Throughout the update, an animated display indicates to the user that data transmission is underway, with on-screen indication of the progress of the processed files. In this case, the next screen would be displayed: 84/302 182 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01 Note: While updating, if the database versions at the Manager and Agent sides are not identical, the animation stops and an error message is displayed to notify it. (cf. corrective actions in appendix Appendix 6 – Error messages and corrective actions). Once the update is completed, two new windows are displayed: – one screen providing a global view of the base station (cf. § 4.5 Base Station Supervision); – and one screen summarising the current alarms (cf. § 4.10.1 Alarms). 3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 85/302 182 4.3.2 Disconnecting the NE assembly The NE disconnection process consists in closing the current session relating to a given NE in order to connect to another NE of the system. To access the NE disconnection function, open the Management pull-down menu then select the item: Disconnect NE. A confirmation screen is displayed: Click here to confirm the disconnection 86/302 182 Click here to cancel the request to disconnect and return to the previous window Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01 4.4 Supervision Principles The 7390 LT can be used for supervising the whole A7390 Network Element (NE) system. The NE comprises of: – a Base Station (7390BS) which mainly includes a Radio unit (RBS) and a MODEM rack (DBS), – one or more Terminal Stations (7390TS) which mainly include a Radio unit (RT) and a User connection unit (NT). Nevertheless the 7390 LT software does not manage RT units. The display allows system control; alarms are activated in particular to signify any intervention. The supervision items themselves are,by definition, grayed out and therefore unmodifiable, whereas those reserved for configuration can be configured by the user: they will be used in the following chapters concerning commissioning (Chapter 5 Commissioning the Base Station (7390BS)), maintenance (Chapter 6 Operation and maintenance) and configuration evolution (Chapter 7 Changes of configuration). For the modifications to be taken into account, writing should be enabled: see § 4.4.2 Local access requests. 4.4.1 Data retrieval According to the same principle as for starting up the 7390 LT (automatic data retrieval following connection), this update can be carried either for whole NE, or for each equipment: BS or NT. To reach the Data retrieval function, two ways are possible: – open the Database pull-down menu and choose the first item: NE MIB Upload, – or click on one of the buttons in the screen of the equipment in question: Click on...... To...... ...activate the data recovery function for the NE, BS, and NT respectively. Note: These operations may take quite a long time (in particular for the NE) since they depend on the connection between NE and manager and on the round trip delay and the NE composition. 4.4.2 Local access requests The general status bar (cf. § 4.1.2.6 Title, menu, button and status message bars) displays in its central part the messages concerning write access rights on the NT configuration: "Local Access : Denied / granted". Where there are different system managers, these access rights are allocated by the OS manager, write access is authorized for the 7390 LT (local access set to granted) when no OS manager is connected to the NE (local access set to granted) when no OS manager is connected to the NE. 4.4.3 Administrative statuses Locking the administrative status of sub-assemblies allows the maintenance operator to disable the sub-assembly manifesting an anomaly without disturbing the system. Unlocking sub-assembly administrative status frees service use for the end user. Operator is not able to modify the administrative state assembly. He can only change the ports and cross-connections. 3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 87/302 182 4.5 Base Station Supervision When the LT is started up for the first time, the Manager has to define the type of polarization used, in this «Co-polarization» type must be selected AFTER CLICKING ON THE «APPLY» BUTTON, A WARNING WINDOW WILL APPEAR SINCE THIS PROGRESS IS IRREVERSIBLE, EXCEPT THROUGH AN ANT RAM-REINITIALIZATION. ONCE ACCEPTED, THE 7390LT STARTS TO RECEIVE EVENTS FROM THE SYSTEM BS Supervision: cf.§ 4.5.1 Inhibit BS Alarms: cf.§ 4.5.1 Synchronization parameters: cf.§.4.5.4 Radio parameters: cf.4.7.1§ BS UpLoad: cf.§ 4.4.1 Local IP addresses parameters: cf.§ 4.9.2.

Click on the icon to stop the supervision of the Base Station. BS supervised means that the agent sends to the manager all the events related to the Base station. When the BS is supervised the «Start BS Supervision» button is disabled. When the BS is not supervised the «Stop BS Supervision» button is disabled and a red message in the status bar indicates to the operator that the equipment is not supervised. Besides, not supervised status implies that no action can be performed on the BS from the LT manager. Therefore, if the BS is not supervised then no alarm is sent to the BS element. So, not supervision state implies alarms not allowed (the «Allow BS Alarms» button is disabled). To Allow or Inhibit the alarms of the Base Station: Click on this icon to allow receiving the alarms of the Base Station. Click on this icon to inhibit receiving the alarms of the Base Station. BS Alarms allowed means that all the alarms present in the BS equipment will be reported to the LT manager. When the BS alarms are allowed, the «Allow BS Alarms» button is disabled. When the BS alarms are inhibited, the «Inhibit BS alarms» button is disabled. Moreover, all the status led boards in the BS appears in grey colour to indicate that it is unknown if the boards have or do not have alarms present. 3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 89/302 182 4.5.2 General parameters The left side of the BS Details screen shows the characteristics and associated states: Identification No.: 1 for the BS BS name: click to enter the BS name: it will appear in the title bar BS manufacturer No. BS version No. IP address of BS access via 10 BT Eth port IP address of BS access via ATM port BS Location: click to enter the town or geographical sector where the BS is located Last BS time setting (cf.§ 4.5.5) (by default date displayed is 01/01/1970 at 00:00:00) Name of the alarms correspondence base: cf.§ 4.10.2 BS Polarization type Operational state (enabled/disabled): indicates the technical availability status of the equipment with respect to service provision Administrative state unlocked for the BS: indicates whether locked or unlocked for modification at the network management level Supervision state supervised for the BS Alarm report state (only authorized values appear in the system) 90/302 182 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01 4.5.3 DBS The central part of the BS details screen shows the rack and its sub-assemblies as detected by the 7390 LT: Symbol of the working board cf.§ 4.5.3.1 cf.§ 4.5.3.2 cf.§ 4.5.3.3 cf.§ 4.5.3.6 cf.§ 4.5.3.4 cf.§ 4.5.3.5 cf.§ 4.5.3.7 On the BS Detail screen button bar: Click on...

This involves defining the setup rules for the synchronization sources used. There is one default synchronization source (internal oscillator) and six configurable sources: ATM, external clock and the four TNT boards. The TNT boards have 16 ports and 4 can be used as synchronization ports: these are ports 1, 5, 9 and 13. – Priority principle: • the order of priority numbers take precedence, followed by the channel numbers, in increasing order of appearance. • an order number must be single (one specific number per sub-assembly). • Order number one is for the highest level of priority. Note: Two sources cannot be assigned the same order of priority (the «Apply» button is not available). Note: In the screen shown in the above example, the warning message under TNT card N°2 is displayed because the type of input for the TNT 2 card has been set to ATM (see § 4.5.3.2 TNT board screen), this board is thus in Circuit Emulation mode. 98/302 182 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01 4.5.5 Sending time to the Agent ONLY USE THIS UPDATE FUNCTION IF THE SNTP SERVER IS NOT ENABLED: (SEE § 4.14.4) This function allows to update time of the SNMP agent with the LT Windows Operating System (OS) time. It is specially necessary at the first installation, to initialize the time of the system or, when there is a big drift of the NE time in regards to that of the local PC (where the 7390 LT is running): see events log § 4.8 NE management. To synchronize the time of the agent, click on the button of the BS Details screen button bar (see § 4.5 Base Station Supervision) shown here. 4.5.6 Memory initalization THIS FUNCTION, RESERVED TO MAINTENANCE OR FIRST START UP OF BASE STATION, WILL DELETE THE CURRENT CONFIGURATION. This function allows memory initialization by the SNMP agent located in ANT board. The operator has to enter the password (Alcatel 7390), then to click on «OK» to validate this password and start the memory initilization. 3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 99/302 182 4.5.7 RBS On the right of the BS supervision screen are all the RBSs associated with the BS: RBS identification Number Click on the arrows to modify the Transmission power; this value indicates the output power in dBm (+7dBm to +17 dBm, by step of 1 dB) Click on the arrow to open the list and to select the cable type (see note below)(automatic recovery for flat RBS) Click here to close the window and to return to the RBS Details screen Click here to enter the actual cable length (automatic recovery for flat RBS) Click here to take into account the modifications Click here to cancel the modifications Note: Specifications of the available cables in the RBS Details screen: Attenuation calculation is done with: A= K1 x √f + K2 x f (f fréquency in MHz) in dB for 100 m length • Filotex: K1 = 0,418; K2 = 0,004; Lmax = 200 m • 100/302 182 Andrew: K1 = 0,22; K2 = 0,0012; Lmax = 300 m Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01 4.5.8 Redundancy state 4.5.8.1 Principle Redundancy of the A7390 system corresponds to a 1+1 configuration and works in the "cold redundancy" mode. That means for one active entity, there is one stand-by entity and when the active entity has failed, the switch over to the stand-by entity provokes a temporary service cut. Redundancy applies to the management part (ANT board) and to the radio part (radio links) of the system. 4.5.8.2 Access to redundancy state display To access consultation of the system redundancy state, click on the icon shown here, that is in the button bar of the BS Details screen (§ 4.5 Base Station Supervision). The screen below is displayed: Operational state of the entities (enable / disable) See § 4.5.3.1 (ANT) Availability state of the entity (on line / off duty / failed / not installed) Redundancy on the management part (ANT board) Click here on the first tab to display the redundancy state of the first radio link (up to 4 radio links) Operational state of the entities (enable / disable): see § 4.5.3.3 (AMD), 4.5.3.5 (IBS) and 4.5.7 (RBS) Redundancy on the radio part Set of radio link: AMD board + IBS board + radio Click here to close this consultation window and return to the BS Details screen Symbol of the active entity Note: The place of the boards into the DBS is directly linked to their role in redundancy (see § 4.5.8.3 Board and location in the cabinet according to their role in redundancy). Note: The disponibility state on line corresponds to an active entity. 3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 101/302 182 Comments on radio link 2 as shown in the previous example: Radio link 2 initially consists of the AMD 2 (slot 8), IBS 2 (slot 18) and RBS 2 triplet. The redundancy capability of radio link 2 comes with the installation of the AMD 6 (slot 12), IBS 6 (slot 22) and RBS 6 triplet. The BS Details screen (§ 4.5 Base Station Supervision) allows the boards inserted in the cabinet and associated RBSs to be displayed, and also their role in redundancy. The operating entities may also be displayed with the operation symbol (double-arrow). In the example, the AMD 2 card has been removed; it is thus reported as a critical alarm (red) (see § 4.10.1 Alarms). Triplet 1 is no longer operational: consequently, switch-over was to triplet 2, this is confirmed by the presence of the operation symbol on AMD 6 and IBS 6 cards and on RBS 6. This information is grouped on the Redundancy screen (§ 4.5.8.2 Access to redundancy state display): – operational state of the AMD2 card reported "disabled", (card withdrawn) – availability of triplet 2= "Not installed", – availability of triplet 6= "On line" with operation symbol present.

Note: Remember that it is possible to access a given NT rapidly from the list of all NTs via the sort and search functions (cf. § 4.1.2.4 Sorting and searching in a list). 4.6.1 NT Supervision To Start or Stop the supervision of the NT: Click on this icon to start the supervision of the NT. Click on this icon to stop the supervision of the NT. NT supervised means that the system sends to the manager all the events corresponding to that NT. A given NT can be supervised only if the BS is supervised. When a NT is supervised, the «Start NT Supervision» button is disabled. When the NT is not supervised the «Stop NT Supervision» button is disabled. Then, no action can be applied over it, so all the «Apply» buttons are disabled. Therefore it implies that the alarms on this NT are not allowed (the «Allow NT Alarms» button is disabled). To Allow or Inhibit the alarms of the NT: Click on this icon to allow receiving the alarms of the NT. Click on this icon to inhibit receiving the alarms of the NT. NT Alarms allowed means that all the alarms present in the NT equipment will be reported to the LT manager. Allowing or inhibiting alarms on NTs have to be done one by one. It is not possible to allow or inhibit alarms in all the NTs by one action. When the NT alarms are allowed, the «Allow NT Alarms» button is disabled. When the NT alarms are inhibited, the «Inhibit NT Alarms» button is disabled. When the alarms are inhibited on a given NT, the NT appears grey in the NT list screen to indicate that it is unknown if the NT has or does not have any alarm present. 3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 105/302 182 4.6.2 Declaring a new NT To add an NT, click on the button shown here (on the NT screen button bar).

Note 3: NT number: move the mouse pointer onto a progression bar and a tooltip displays the ratio between the number of declared NTs and the max. number of managed NTs for a given channel. Note 4: As long as there is data traffic on the upstream, you cannot deactivate it. IF YOU WANT TO CREATE AN IP SERVICE ON AN NT, THE UPSTREAM USED BY THIS NT MUST BE CONFIGURED. CF. § 4.7.2. 3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 111/302 182 4.7.2 Dynamic Traffic Configuration To access the configuration of the IP data traffic, click on the button shown here (BS Details screen button bar). The Dynamic Traffic Configuration screen is displayed: Maximum bandwidth compatible with the ATM link Minimum free ATM bandwidth needed to use dynamic traffic Progression bar representing the configured bandwidth used by the radio on the ATM maximun bandwidth Click here to enter Yes to allow or No to forbid dynamic IP traffic (cf: notes below) Click here to apply the modifications Click here to cancel the modifications Click here to return to the BS Details screen Note: You can only activate dynamic services (Dynamic Traffic: Yes) if the upstream is activated (Upstream: Yes). (Cf. § 4.7.1 Radio configuration.) Note: The authorization facility for Dynamic IP Traffic on any upstream is provided in order to avoid overloading of the ATM interface: the air bandwidth available to data traffic should never exceed the bandwidth available on the ATM interface ("Maximum Bandwidth" 4 "Configured Bandwidth"). Note: The system controls the configured bandwidth according to the maximum bandwidth of the ATM interface and according to the overbooking configuration.

Customer services are available according to two types of radio traffic: dynamic (dynamic IP) and static (leased lines, static IP). The bit rate available for each radio channel is given by the bandwidth defined in the Radio Configuration screen (see § 4.7.1 Radio configuration). Radio resources management is carried out according to two operating principles (that can be jointly implemented): system self-management (default configuration) and pre-configuration (carried out by the operator). STATIC SERVICES CONFIGURATION MAY CAUSE DYNAMIC IP SERVICES TO BE SHUT DOWN – System self-management: In this case, the system automatically manages the radio part according to the following principles:; • by default, overbooking limit is 1. That means no overbooking is allowed. • CAG = Guaranteed MCR. • RRM Devices Enabled = Policing. Note: Circuit emulation always requires a leased line. Radio resources are implicitly dedicated to circuit emulation via the leased line. 4.7.3.2 Access to the radio pre-configuration To access on-demand services management and proceed with radio preconfiguration, click on the button shown here (in the button bar of the BS Details screen). 3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 113/302 182 Click on these tabs to configure the other channels Click on the arrow to enable Service of RRM. Policing or No Policing Click here to select the strategy of Call Admission Control: Degraded MCR allowed or Guarranteed MCR - (See below) Current Overbooking (Downstream or Upstream) for the selected radio-link(See below) Attribute configurable from the manager that confines the possible overbooking (Us/Ds) to this value for the selected radio-link Click here to take into account the system on-demand services allocation Click here to cancel the ondemand services management modifications Click here to exit the on-demand services management window – Downstream channels Policing: is a buffer management function that implements intelligent discard mechanisms to prevent buffer overflows. Overbooking: – limit = 0 means that overbooking has no sense because in this upstream dynamic traffic is not allowed, – limit = 1 means no overbooking is allowed, – limit > 1 means it is possible to use more bandwidth than the physical one. 114/302 182 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01 – Upstream channels Call Admission Control Strategy: – Guaranteed MCR, allows the CAC to deny connection to an RRM port if the current sum of the connected RRM ports does not allow to accept the new RRM port without exceeding the dynamic resources. Degraded MCR allowed: – allows the CAC to accept every connection request. In this case, congestion event may happen and the RRM scheduler will need to degrade the MCR contract parameter of each connected RRM port, up to its "maximum degraded MCR". 4.7.4 Bandwidth allocation The 7390LT offers the capacity to display radio resources reserved for traffic and therefore potentially available to create customer services. THE RADIO RESOURCES DISPLAYED CORRESPOND TO BANDWIDTH ALLOCATION AND NOT TO THE CURRENT TRAFFIC ON THE SERVICES CREATED. To view reserved radio resources, click on the button shown here (BS Details screen toolbar). Nota : The system always runs in self management mode, but pre-configuration is possible to avoid shutdown during static service creation; thus the system automatically returns to self management mode if the capabilities are exceeded 3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 115/302 182 Click on these tabs to display the radio resources of the other channels Meaning of the colors used to show the different parts of the bandwidth: The blue zone represents the bit rate allocated to leased lines (LL) type services. The yellow zone represents the bit rate allocated to static IP (IPstat) type services. The light grey zone represents the proportion of bit rate still available to create new static services (FreeS) without disturbing the dynamic zone. The dark grey zone represents the proportion of bit rate still available to create new dynamic services (FreeD). The green zone represents the bit rate allocated to the dynamic IP (IPdyn) type services, as the physical limit of the system reserved to the dynamic services has not been reached (OF<1). Once the bandwidth is filled, (maximum bit rate authorized by the system’s physical limits), the zone is displayed in orange to warn the operator of the risk of dynamic service unavailability. When the bit rate allocated to the dynamic services exceeds the booking factor limit (OFL), the zone changes to red. IF THE ZONE IS ORANGE, CHECK THAT SIZE OF THE REMAINING DYNAMIC ZONE IS GREATER THAN THE LARGER DYNAMIC CROSS-CONNECTION IF IT’S NOT THE CASE THIS CONNECTION WILL BE UNAVAILABLE. The whole bandwidth is represented on a scale from 0 to 100%. It is divided into three zones: the static LL zone, the static IP zone and the dynamic IP zone. The static zone represents the portion of the bandwith allocated to static services, with display of both bit rate types: leased line (LL) and static IP (ATM) bit rate. The dynamic zone represents the portion of the bandwidth allocated to the dynamic services: the dynamic IP services. 116/302 182 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01 Note : The available bit rate depends on the traffic type allocated: leased lines, static or dynamic IP. Note : The dynamic zone is the zone remaining available, corresponding to the total bandwidth minus the static zone; the static zone corresponds to the static IP service bit rate. The overbooking factor limit (OFL) is a value defined by the operator (until 10 as maximum) and can be modified at any time depending on radio resource requirements: if the operator wishes to offer more services than the system can physically provide simultaneously on the available bandwidth, he defines this value which will represent a risk level of dynamic degraded service. Note : When OFL = 1 (default value), it corresponds to the system physical limit assigned to the dynamic zone (= width of bandwidth). If OFL = 2, double the dynamic zone physical bandwidth can be used for dynamic IP services. Overbooking limit Current overbooking (orange zone): < 1 means that there is no overbooking IP traffic is measured according to «ATM» Rate = 66.5 Kbps, whereas LL is measured with rate = 64 Kbps 3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 117/302 182 When the dynamic traffic (green color) is overbooked, green is changed to orange (see next screen). 4.8 NE management As soon as the 7390LT is connected to the NE, it keeps a log of all the events taking place between the Agent (NE) and the Manager (7390 LT) for the corresponding part of the supervised NE. This supervision tool is mainly used as a log file to be used for maintenance purpose (see Chapter 6 Operation and maintenance). 4.8.1 NE Supervision To Start or Stop the supervision of the NE: Click on the icon to start the supervision of the NE. Click on the icon to stop the supervision of the NE. Or else, open the NE Supervision pull-down menu and choose the item Start NE Supervision or Stop NE Supervision. NE supervised means that the agent sends to the manager all the events related to the network element. When the NE is supervised, the «Start NE Supervision» button is disabled. When the NE is not supervised, the «Stop NE Supervision» button is disabled. The manager has lost its synchronization with the agent. BS and NT are not supervised and events are not received. Starting the NE supervision implies a total NE upload, because it is the only way to align again the LT 118/302 182 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01 and the MIB agent. To Allow or Inhibit the alarms of the NE: Click on this icon to allow receiving the alarms of the NE. Click on this icon to inhibit receiving the alarms of the NE. Or else, open the NE Supervision pull-down menu and choose the item Allow Alarms NE or Inhibit Alarms NE. NE Alarms allowed means that all the alarms present in the NE equipment will be reported to the LT manager. When the NE alarms are allowed, the «Allow Alarms NE» button is disabled. When the NE alarms are inhibited, the «Inhibit Alarms NE» button is disabled. Moreover, neither alarm window is present in the 7390LT nor alarm code colour is showed in the main window. 4.8.2 Events log Note: the events log (in read only) is presented in reverse chronological order. The most recent event is at the top of the list. The circular list can contain up to 5000 events To access the events log: – click on the button shown here (on the 7390 LT main screen), – or, open the Management pull-down menu and choose View Event Log. 3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 119/302 182 Click here to print the events log on the default printer (see § 4.1.4 Printing) Key of the differents event types (see § 4.8.4 Event log legend) Click here to quit the events list Index: this is the event number: an incremental cyclic counter is activated each time an event takes place. Start date: time-stamping of the event (format: day/month/year, hour/minute/second). Trans ID: transaction number allowing the action which occurred on the system and the different events resulting from it, to be linked; in the example above, the action corresponding to event number 294 corresponds to 5 events (see groups ID Trans. 165). Object: indicates the part of the system affected by the event (format: designation#equipment ID followed by port number). Type: abbreviation (which key is permanently displayed at the bottom of the window) of the event type: alarm, deletion, creation, etc. Alarm ID (if the event type is an alarm): alarm identifier corresponding to its coming out number (chronological). The line is displayed in the color related to the alarm: when the alarm ends, the same line will be displayed (with an incrementing Index) in green to symbolize the end of alarm. Probable cause (field associated with the alarm): description of the cause of the problem from the ASAP (giving the severity for a given probable cause). Request status: request status in the form of abbreviation whose legend is displayed at the bottom of the screen. This is to identify the way a group of events has been terminated (same lD Trans.); the transaction status of the last event of a same group is therefore ok if the action succeeded. Note: ends of alarm are displayed in green. 120/302 182 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01 4.8.3 Historical Event log This function allows all or certain events, listed in the events log since the last connection, to be retrieved. 4.8.3.1 Accessing the historical event log To access the historical event log: – click on the button shown here (in the 7390 LT main screen), – or, open the Management pull-down menu and select the Historical Event Display section.
