3CC12426AAAA TQ BJA 01 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 129/3462344 – 7390LT software overview4.1 – General informationThe purpose of this chapter is to present the different screens of the 7390LT software supplied with theBase Station. The following chapters will make reference to this presentation each time the user needsto access the software for a particular action (commissioning, maintenance or evolution of theconfiguration). The same screen may apply for several types of action.4.1.1 – FunctionalitiesThe 7390 LT software enables:– supervision of both the system assembly as a whole (the NE (Network Element)), and of its sub-assemblies (BS, NT);– configuration of the sub-assemblies (DBS, X-Pol RBS, etc.) (used when Commissioning, Chapter5 – Commissioning the Base Station (7390BS));– setting up services (E1 leased lines, T1 and X21, ISDN, IP cross-connection including VoIP, circuitemulation), (used when Commissioning, Chapter 6 – Operation and maintenance);– downloading, NE configuration back-up and restoration (used in Maintenance, Chapter 6 – Ope-ration and maintenance);– display of the system redundancy state;– management of external points;– radio performances.Note: the 7390LT software exchanges no information with the radio part of the terminal station(7390RT). These generate no alarms, and therefore require no other configuration apart from theinstallation configuration.4.1.2 – Principles of the Man-Machine Interface (MMI) of the 7390LTThe user of the 7390LT software is expected to be familiar with the operation of software in theWindows NTMT environment. There follows a description of some of the basic principles of theWindows NTMT MMI along with others, more specific to the 7390LT.4.1.2.1 – Opening, closing and resizing a windowHere 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.
130/346 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 3CC12426AAAA TQ BJA 012344.1.2.2 – Entry fields4.1.2.3 – Confirmation, closing a window, canceling an entryIn 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:4.1.2.4 – Sorting and searching in a listSome screens contain lists which may contain many lines; a sort and/or search tool is therefore availablevia the MMI, in order to facilitate data management:4.1.2.5 – Selecting lines on a listTo 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 thelast 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 desiredelements.The grayed out fields are for consultation only: their content cannot bemodified.The fields on a white background can be modified: left-click to make thecursor appear inside the field, then enter the character string required.According to the same principle, the buttons, icons and items in the pull-downmenus become grayed out when they are inactive.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.
3CC12426AAAA TQ BJA 01 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 131/3462344.1.2.6 – Title, menu, button and status message barsThe various information and functionalities of the 7390LT are accessible in several forms of MMI:4.1.2.7 – Dynamic keys4.1.3 – Rearrangement of active windowsDuring the use of the 7390 LT software, several windows may be active simultaneously. The MMI allowsyou to rearrange them to optimize their visibility, in classic Windows fashion.Access this function by opening the Windows pull-down menu:Title bars (at the top of the main window): for information only; this is thetitle 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, thenclick 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 alsodirectly accessible by clicking on the buttons displayed at the top of thewindow.Message bar (at the bottom of the active window): messages linked tocurrent events are displayed on the fly in certain windowsStatus bar (at the bottom of the 7390 LT main window), divided into 2areas:– on the left: global user's messages (states of progress, error mes-sages, 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 (seealarm color codes, § 4.10.1.2 – Alarms color code).Each time the cursor will stay a few seconds on a button (and on specificfield), a textual key on a yellow background defining this button (or field)is displayed.

3CC12426AAAA TQ BJA 01 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 135/3462344.3 – Connection and Disconnection4.3.1 – NE ConnectionThe NE connection process consists partly in the NE "Agent" identifying the "Manager" and partly in theretrieval of data for the NE assembly on the 7390 LT software by manual request: this involves theupdating of site information.There are two possible ways of accessing the NE Connection:The following screen is displayed:In case several interface boards are installed in the PC, the window offers you a choice of board.ONLY ONE LT SESSION IS OPERATIONAL ON ONE NE. FOR EXAMPLE,A LOCAL LT CONNECTION AND A REMOTE LT CONNECTION AT THESAME TIME ON THE SAME BS IS NOT POSSIBLE– 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.IP Address of the NE to be connected: click in a byte field to modify the 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 BSNetwork 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 Click here to return to the previous screen
136/346 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 3CC12426AAAA TQ BJA 01234By 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 runningin the PC. Windows NT includes a FTP service that is, by default, desactivated; if it were activa-ted, 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 theUploadThruFTP value, it must be: UploadThruFTP=No. Throughout the update, an animated displayindicates to the user that data transmission is underway, with on-screen indication of the progress of theprocessed files. In this case, the next screen would be displayed:
3CC12426AAAA TQ BJA 01 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 137/346234Note: While updating, if the database versions at the Manager and Agent sides are not identical, theanimation stops and an error message is displayed to notify it. (cf. corrective actions in appendixA.6.1 – Error messages for 9900LT software).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).
138/346 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 3CC12426AAAA TQ BJA 012344.3.2 – Disconnecting the NE assemblyThe NE disconnection process consists in closing the current session relating to a given NE in order toconnect to another NE of the system.A confirmation screen is displayed:To access the NE disconnection function, open the Management pull-downmenu then select the item: Disconnect NE. Click here to confirm the disconnection Click here to cancel the request to disconnect and return to the previous window
3CC12426AAAA TQ BJA 01 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 139/3462344.4 – Supervision PrinciplesThe 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 (X-Pol RBS) and a MODEM rack(DBS),– one or more Terminal Stations (7390TS) which mainly include a Radio unit (X-Pol RT) and aUser connection unit (NT). Nevertheless the 7390 LT software does not manage X-Pol 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, whereasthose reserved for configuration can be configured by the user: they will be used in the followingchapters 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 retrievalAccording to the same principle as for starting up the 7390 LT (automatic data retrieval followingconnection), 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:Note: These operations may take quite a long time (in particular for the NE) since they depend on theconnection between NE and manager and on the round trip delay and the NE composition.4.4.2 – Local access requestsThe general status bar (cf. § 4.1.2.6 – Title, menu, button and status message bars) displays in its centralpart 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 OSmanager, write access is authorized for the 7390 LT (local access set to granted) when no OS manageris connected to the NE (local access set to granted) when no OS manager is connected to the NE.4.4.3 – Administrative statusesLocking the administrative status of sub-assemblies allows the maintenance operator to disable thesub-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 andcross-connections.– open the Database pull-down menu and choose the first item: NE MIBUpload,– or click on one of the button in the screen of the equipment in question:Click on...... To.........activate the data recovery function for the NE, BS, and NT respectively.
