In case of transmission < 32 TS, the TNT port has to be structured.
4.12.2.5– Port selection on the NT side
On the E1 cross-connection screen (see § 4.12.1.3 – Presentation
of the E1 link management screen),
Click on the arrow to scroll down the NT list declared, then select
the NT concerned by the cross-connect.
There is no particular configuration to define the X21 ports.
4.12.2.6– Cross-connect
In the case of an X21 "cross-connection", the cross connect is performed between an NT X21 port and
a TNT board E1 port.
IN THE CASE OF STRUCTURED CROSS CONNECT, ALL THE TIME SLOTS MUST BE
CONSECUTIVE ON THE NT SIDE
As the TNT/NT ports cross connection principle is the same as that of the E1 leased lines, refer to §
4.12.1.6 – Cross-connect.

4.12.3– Leased lines T1
A T1 cross-connection is a link between a TNT board of the BS linked to the TDM network (or ATM if
the CES is used: see § 4.12.6 – Circuit emulation (CES)) and the NT terminal (E1 port) linked to the user
peripheral devices.
The maximum flow offered on a T1 link is 1.544 Mbit/s.
4.12.3.1– Creation procedure of a T1 link
The implementation stages for a T1 cross-connection are as follows:
1. Selection and configuration of the ports for cross-connect: BS side (TNT board) (see § 4.12.3.4 –
Ports configuration of TNT board (BS));
2. Selection and configuration of the ports for cross-connect: NT side (see § 4.12.3.5 – Configuration
of NT ports);
3. Cross-connect between time-slots of selected ports: (see § 4.12.3.6 – Cross-connect);
4. Creation of a T1 link: (see § 4.12.5 – Principles of management common to all types of leased lines).

4.12.5.5– Locking / Unlocking of a cross-connection
It is possible to lock or unlock a cross-connection:
– unlocking authorises traffic on the link,
– locking blocks traffic on the link.
This action is carried out by modifying the administrative status of the cross-connection.
When a link is created, its administrative status is locked by default, which prevents the system from
being blocked during cross-connection, in the event of equipment problems.
FOR A SUBSCRIBER TO HAVE ACCESS TO TRAFFIC, THE CROSSCONNECTION MUST BE UNLOCKED FOR CREATION OF CLIENT SERVICES.
THIS OPERATION IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE TELECOMS OPERATOR.
The locking operation may then be implemented on the cross-connection for reasons of maintenance
or for freezing services during disputes between end user and telecoms operator.
Note: The administrative status of the cross-connections is not correlated with that of the ports. This
makes it possible to manage the "grooming" capacity at the TNT board ports (see § 4.12.1.7 –
Grooming) where several cross-connections to different NT ports can be cross-connected to the
same port of a TNT board.
IF A PORT IS LOCKED / UNLOCKED, ALL THE CROSS-CONNECTIONS
INVOLVING THIS PORT WILL BE RESPECTIVELY LOCKED/UNLOCKED
To lock / unlock a link, select the cross-connection concerned on the E1 cross-connection screen (see
§ 4.12.1.3 – Presentation of the E1 link management screen) and:
– click on the icon of the toolbar shown here to lock: the administrative status of the
cross-connection switches from "unlocked" to "locked".

To leave out a link: select the link in the cross-connections list (see § 4.12.1.4 – Ports
configuration of TNT board (BS)), then click on the button shown here (in the button bar
of the screen).
Note: an unlocked cross-connection cannot be suppressed (see § 4.12.1.1 – Procedure of creation of
an E1 link (E1 cross-connection)).
4.12.6– Circuit emulation (CES)
Circuit emulation allows leased lines (E1, X21, T1, ISDN) to be implemented on the ATM network (and
no longer TDM).
It deals with the creation, in addition to the standard leased line link, of a second "cross-connection"
between the TNT board and the ANT board which is linked to the ATM network. The CES processes the
signal to recreate it on the TNT board, which therefore emulates a direct "cross-connection" between the
ATM network and the TNT board.
This operating mode notably allows a single connection cable on the BS for all types of client services.
Note: a TNT board (and therefore all its ports) can operate only in a given mode: either local (TDM
network) or ATM..
BEFORE PERFORMING CIRCUIT EMULATION, YOU MUST CONFIGURE THE
INPUT / OUTPUT TYPE OF THE TNT BOARD IMPLEMENTED IN ATM MODE AND ALSO
THE CHARACTERISTICS LINKED WITH SYNCHRONIZATION, USED TO RECREATE
THE FRAMES ON THE TNT BOARD (SEE 4.5.3.2 –).
BEFORE CREATION OF A CES LINK, ASSOCIATED TNT PORTS MUST BE LOCKED.
4.12.6.1– CES link creation procedure
The steps to implement a CES "cross-connection" are as follows:
1. Selection of the implemented TNT board;
2. Selection of the selected TNT board ports;
3. Choice of the ATM link Vci on the ANT board;
4. Creation of the CES link.
Note: There is only one type of CES link. Indeed, there is no correlation between the TNT port type
(E1, T1,ISDN and their G703, G704 (SF, ESF) configurations and the CES "cross-connection".

4.13– Client services: IP links
An IP cross-connection is a link between an ATM input of the BS linked to the network and an Ethernet
port of the NT terminal linked to the user peripheral devices.
The maximum bit rate offered on an IP link is 8512 Kbps in downlink (BS to NT) and 7448 Kbps in uplink
(NT to BS).
There are 2 types of TS link: the static IP service and the dynamic IP service.
4.13.1– Creation procedure of an IP link
The implementation stages for an IP cross-connection are as follows:
1. ATM board configuration at the BS: see § 4.9.1 – ATM;

4.14.3– Downloading
DO NOT RENAME FILES OR DIRECTORIES.
Downloading, mainly used during maintenance, or on first commissioning, replaces or upgrades the
component software of the NE (BS + NTs).
AMD boards must be configured with their radio settings prior to starting downloading. NE downloading
must always come before any 7390 LT update if this update is included in the software upgrade.
During the download of a new software, the IP Traffic can be degraded to about 10-3 .
Downloading can be carried out via Ethernet (10 BT) or ATM.
On ATM, the max. bit rate authorised is 10 Mbps.
To access the downloading function:
– click on the button (provided it is active, see § 4.1.2.2 – Entry fields) on
the main menu button bar (shown here),
or else,
– open the Management pull-down menu and choose the item: Software

4.14.3.1– Downloading steps
– pre-requirement: AMD boards should be configured (mandatory).
There are two possible cases in point, influencing how the downloading steps should proceed: i.e.,
whether or not the MIB versions (databases modelling the equipment) are different for the manager and for the agent. Once downloading is run, the system detects automatically any discrepancy
between the MIB versions, and realigns where necessary.
Note: The About 7390 LT window gives the database version (see § 4.2.2 – Accessing and running
7390 LT).
The downloading steps are as follows:
1. Select the file describing the software configuration (action in Software Management screen)
(§ 4.14.3.2 – Object and destination of the software to be imported),
2. Select the software storage zone on the BS (action in Software Management screen) (package 1
or 2),
3. Load the software (action in Software Management screen) (§ 4.14.3.4 – Software import),
4. Rendering MIB compatibility: (in the case of divergent MIBs) (automatic in other screen)
( § 4.14.3.6 – Rendering compatible the MIBs),
5. Referencing of the software (action in Software Management screen) (§ 4.14.3.7 – Referencing
software),
6. Activate the selected software configuration (action in Software Management screen) (§ 4.14.3.8 –
Activation of data),
7. Updating the statuses on the 7390 LT: wait for 10 minutes approximately (action in Software
Management screen, § 4.14.3 –),
8. Start again Loading the same package on the other software storage zone (without activating nor
referencing it) to enable automatic update of the new NTs coming in the network.
Note: Each software package must be individually exported via NFS Server (see A.2.6.2 – Installation
of NFS server)

Check on the rack represented in the BS supervision screen that the physically present subassemblies are taken into account by the LT.
Running the 7390LT software automatically retrieves the serial number for each board, their modification index and their software version. Check the
conformity of the data against the delivery slip.
4.5 –
Synchronization
This involves defining the priority rules for the possible timing sources for the station. Priority 1 of
course relates to an external source, since this
allows the station to be immune to user error.
For the moment, it is not possible to select one of
the channels (1, 5, 9 or 13) of the TNT board present since they are not yet defined. You should
come back to this step VI when at least one has
been configured.
. Operational Status: the effective presence of a
signal used for synchronization is signaled by the
wording "Enabled".
If no signal is valid, the station uses its internal
clock.

• One free time slot of the selected TNT port in ISDN configuration can be cross-connected to
the signalling time-slot on the NT side.
• It is not possible to create a B-channel ISDN cross-connection if there is not created first a
signalling cross-connection.
• It is possible to cross-connect up to 8 free time-slots of the selected port and up to 8 Bchannels of the 4 ISDN-BA user port, but just 1 cross-connection by NT port. Then, it is possible to have 4 B-channel cross-connections by port.
• 2 cross-connections cannot coexist over the same NT port. So, if there is a B1 cross-connection and the user wants to do a B1+B2 cross-connection, he has to remove the B1
cross-connection before creating the B1+B2 cross-connection.
Note: In the case of modifying the amount of enabled BRA-ISDN port at any WW-NT\ISDN, its existing
cross-connection for B-channels transport has to be removed and a new one has to be created
according to the new condition. This could even cause other cross-connections to be re-allocated (removed-created) in order to provide for enough bearer capacity in consecutive time slots at
a certain GXDI E1 link.
Note: A 7390 platform identifies n*64 Kbits/s transport services, not presenting any link with ISDN related resources (i.e. OWSA-channels, B channels).

6.3 – Preventive maintenance
Preventive maintenance is carried out by:
– permanent monitoring of the system provided by the supervision function,
– periodic inspection of the equipment to ensure that:
•
the link cables between the NE elements are not damaged,
•
the external equipment is properly assembled,
•
the internal equipment is correctly in place.
After stopping the BS or resetting an ANT board (deliberately or not), DO NOT forget to
download again the same software on the available package (1 or 2) without activating nor
referencing it, to re-create the NFS assembly point so as the new NTs that come in the
network can perform automatic download.
6.4 – Corrective maintenance
6.4.1 – Alarms processing
Knowledge of the implicitly induced alarms may be necessary for the operator to be able to carry out
maintenance and estimate the quality of the services offered by the 7390NE. This is why the present
document offers, in this chapter, a basic knowledge to the operator of the alarm correlation.
6.4.1.1 – Checking alarms for each equipment management function
The "alarms control" functions of each board's equipment management for a given type of element are
responsible for supervision, clearing and masking of alarms for this element. Each of its functions is
responsible for notification to the SNMP agent of the starts and ends of alarms that it controls.
The ANT board is in addition responsible for the processing of alarm indicators ("Critical", "Major" and
"Minor" indicators).
The AMD board implements an equipment management function for each of the following types of
element:
– the AMD itself
– the IBS
– the X-Pol RBS
– the NT
– the static cross-connects on the radio link.
The TNT board implements an equipment management function for each of the following types of
element:
– the TNT itself
– the E1-G703 port of the TNT
The NT implements an equipment management function for each of the following types of element:
– the E1-G703 port of the NT
– the E1-G704 port of the NT
– the Ethernet port of the NT

6.4.1.2 – Terminology relating to the alarms
Active alarm: an alarm is active as soon as the start of this alarm is notified to the ANT board, and
remains so as long as its end is not notified
Anomaly: discrepancy between the intended and real characteristics of an item. An anomaly may or
may not affect the capacity of this item to carry out a required function. Several successive anomalies of
the same type are generally considered a fault.
Defect: limited interruption of the capacity of an item to carry out the required function. A defect may or
may not necessitate maintenance action.
Alarm clearance: clearing an alarm initiation by notifying its end.
Board alarm function: for AMD, TNT, IBS, X-Pol RBS or NT boards, the alarm function is the totality of
the "Alarms control" functions of the elements that they manage.
Alarm masking: Storage of an alarm without immediate notification of alarm initiation. Masking allows
the seriousness of the alarms for a given element to be hierarchically ordered: masking is carried out
when a higher order alarm appears. If on unmasking (carried out at the end of the higher order alarm)
the alarm which was masked is still present, an alarm initiation must be notified.
6.4.2 – Definition of 7390NE alarms
6.4.2.1 – Alarms relating to boards
The actions described are not necessarily controlled by the management software (they can be
controlled by the equipment itself).
In the tables below, the term "board" may related to any part of the DBS (ANT, TNT, AMD, IBS, CPL, XPol RBS, PSU, Fans), or to an NT.

Internal NE actions: depends
on the functionalities and use of
this board in the 7390NE.
2. When the alarm object is the
BS, it means that a load module
(i.e.: a bus adaptative board,
connected at the bottom of the
rack) is physically absent.
3.This alarm also occurs for NT
creation, when the radio link is
not established with the BS.

"Board" element (redundant
ANT; TNT, AMD, IBS, CPL, cooling unit, power supply unit) is
not set up or is lost.
When the alarm object is an NT,
it may mean a durable loss of
radio link.
Internal NE actions: reset
(automatic or controlled) of the
"Board" element if the board is a
TNT or AMD board or an NT.
No impact if the Board is an IBS
or X-Pol RBS board: these two
elements can continue to
function without their
management link.
The setup or re-establishment of
the connection requires the
complete (re)configuration of
this element. This procedure of
(re)confguration is automatic
and internal to the BS (as long
as all the element configu-ration
parameters are valid).
Operator action: no action.

6.4.2.3 – Functional alarms
The 7390NE functions, for which the "Alarm" function of the ANT board manages the alarms, are as
follows:
– Time management of the 7390NE
– Synchronization of the 7390NE
– Security
– Activation of leased line cross-connects.
The table below provides the list of alarms specific to the functions of the 7390NE, along with their
definition. It also describes two types of actions:
– the automatic internal actions to the 7390NE - NR2.1, caused by the presence of each of these

For the AMD,TNT, IBS and CPL boards, the color
of their graphic representation in the BS
supervision screen changes from white to grayedout.
However, in the case of a module or ventilation
block, the color of the graphic representation
remains unchanged.
In the alarms list, the extracted board appears with
"Board_missing" alarm (for the AMD, TNT, IBS
and CPL boards), or "Comm_loss" alarm.
In the specific case of the AMD board, the IBS and
X-Pol RBS boards associated with it give rise to a
"Comm_loss" alarm.
The red "F" LED on the front edge of the board
remains lit throughout the initialization and selfconfiguration phase of the board, then is
extinguished.
The alarms then disappear from the alarms table.
In the specific case of the AMD board, not only do
the alarms relating to it disappear, but those of its
associated IBS and X-Pol RBS boards can also
appear.
In addition, the NTs attached to it are automatically
(re)integrated in the network and the E1 or IP
services become automatically accessible.
In the current Alarm table, check that there is no
Version mismatch alarm for the re-inserted board;
otherwise, restart a download with neither referencing nor activation (see § 7.3.12 –).

7 – Changes of configuration
7.1 – Interventions required by system evolution
Evolution of the transmission network may require changes being made to equipment configurations in
order to meet new needs. The A7390 equipment has sufficient flexibility to satisfy these scalability
requirements. Modifications can be carried out by changing the software configuration with or without
modifying the hardware configuration of the equipment, as the case may be. The 7390 LT may itself be
subject to changes.
Two intervention modes may be distinguished:
– remotely for modifications involving only the software configuration of the equipment, carried
out using the 7390LT software,
– on site for hardware configuration modifications, possibly complemented by software configuration modifications.
System evolution interventions, that can be carried out remotely, using simply the 7390LT software
applications, are as follows:
– alarm filtering for NT and alarm filtering for BS,
– modification of service parameters (name, flow), see § 7.3.3 – Modification of service parameters;
– modification of the transmit power level of the X-Pol RBS, see § 7.3.4 – Change of power level
(X-Pol RBS);
– modification of the IP addresses of the equipment, see § 7.3.5 – Changing the IP address of the
equipment;
– modification of the channelling, see § 7.3.6 – Change of channelling;
– modification of the channel frequency in the same sub-band, see § 7.3.11 – Change of frequency in the same sub-band.
– equipment upgrading, see § 7.3.12 – Upgrading the equipment.
– inhibition of IP data traffic on upstream, see § 7.3.7 – Inhibition of Dynamic traffic on upstream.
– desactivation of upstream, see § 7.3.8 – Desactivation of upstream.
– inhibition of automatic time setting, see § 7.3.9 – Inhibition of automatic time setting .
– modification of CES parameter of a TNT board, see § 7.3.9 – Inhibition of automatic time setting.
System evolution requiring modification of the hardware (and possibly software) configuration to be
carried out on site, is as follows:
– modification of the channel frequency in another sub-band, see § 7.4.1 – Change of frequency
in a different sub-band or band;
– addition of a radio sector, see § 7.4.2 – Addition of a radio sector;
– addition of a network interface, see § 7.4.3 – Network interface;
– updating of the 7390LT software, see § 7.4.4 – Updating the 7390LT software;
– redundancy setting of the ANT board, see § 7.4.5 – Setting ANT board redundancy;
– redundancy setting of a radio sector, see § 7.4.6 – Radio sector redundancy corresponding to
the addition of AMD/IBS and backup X-Pol RBS boards;
– change network interface 34 Mbit/s to 155 Mbit/s, see § 7.4.3.2 – Change of a network interface
(34 to 155 Mbit/s).

Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04
279/346
302
Note: Change network interface 155 Mbit/s to 34 Mbit/s is not possible.
7.2 – Recommendations
For carrying out work of any kind on boards (disassembly/assembly, configuration
modification), the operator must be equipped with a grounding strap (e.g., a
"Disposable Wrist Strap" 3M, reference 2209).
THESE OPERATIONS ARE ONLY TO BE CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED TECHNICIANS
AUTHORISED BY ALCATEL.
UPDATE THE REFERENCE DOCUMENTS AND LABELS IN ORDER FOR
THEM TO COMPLY WITH THE NEW CONFIGURATION.
The presence of the symbol
at the start of the description of an intervention indicates
that this involves the temporary interruption of the link.
