4 – 7390LT software overview
4.1 – General information
The purpose of this chapter is to present the different screens of the 7390LT 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 sub-
assemblies (BS, NT);
– configuration of the sub-assemblies (DBS, X-Pol 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 – 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 the
installation configuration.
4.1.2 – Principles of the Man-Machine Interface (MMI) of the 7390LT
The user of the 7390LT 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 7390LT.
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.
130/346 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 3CC12426AAAA TQ BJA 01
234
4.1.2.2 – Entry fields
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:
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.
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.
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.

234
4.1.2.6 – Title, menu, button and status message bars
The various information and functionalities of the 7390LT are accessible in several forms of MMI:
4.1.2.7 – Dynamic keys
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:
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 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 (see
alarm color codes, § 4.10.1.2 – Alarms color code).
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.

4.3 – 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.
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 THE
SAME 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.

136/346 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 3CC12426AAAA TQ BJA 01
234
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 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 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:
3CC12426AAAA TQ BJA 01 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 137/346
234
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
A.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).

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.
A confirmation screen is displayed:
To access the NE disconnection function, open the Management pull-down
menu 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

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 (X-Pol RBS) and a MODEM rack
(DBS),
– one or more Terminal Stations (7390TS) which mainly include a Radio unit (X-Pol RT) and a
User 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, 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:
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.
– open the Database pull-down menu and choose the first item: NE MIB
Upload,
– 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.
