3.6 Operation PrecautionsThe operation precautions for ensuring correct operations are as follows:

l Do not modify the system time when the T2000-LCT is running. You need to set it beforethe T2000-LCT installation.To modify the system time of the server, exit the T2000-LCT server and restart it after themodification.To modify the system time of the client, exit the T2000-LCT client and restart it after themodification.

l Avoid modifying the name and IP address of the T2000-LCT server computer.l In Windows, you must log in as the user you chosen during T2000-LCT installation. Do

not change the user and password of Windows.l The data created on the NE is consistent with that on the T2000-LCT. When an NE is

configured and runs normally, you can keep the data on the NE and that on the T2000-LCT consistent through manual or automatic synchronization.

l Back up the T2000-LCT database periodically to minimize loss caused by systemabnormity.

l It is recommended to query the latest data from NE before setting parameters.l Usually, when a hazardous operation is performed, the T2000-LCT will ask for

confirmation.

A.1 BackgroundThis section describes the service ports used by management systems.

To ensure the network security, you can take measures on the customer's network. The followingare the two cases that affect the network security:

l Security filtering settings such as routers or firewalls are configured in the networkenvironment where the NMS runs. When carrying out the project, avoid the service portsused by the NMS being filtered by those security filtering settings.

l Some service ports providing system services are closed to prevent network or virus attacks.Note that the service ports used by the NMS should not be closed, and otherwise the NMSwill not run properly.

A.2 Notes and PrecautionsIn the practical communication process, the source (the server) and the sink (the client) userelevant ports. Usually you only need to specify the source port, and the sink port is dynamicallycreated.

Note the following during the project implementation:

l The service ports used by the NMS should not be closed.l If there are routers or firewalls between the source and the sink, then check all ports used

by the source and the sink to make sure that they can be opened, and the source cancommunicate with the sink.

Alarm hold-off time Alarm delay includes start delay and end de-lay. An alarm is not regarded as being gener-ated until the NE has been detecting it for aperiod of time, and this period of time is thealarm start hold-off time. An alarm is not re-garded as being cleared until the NE has beendetecting the ending of it for a period of time,and this period of time is the alarm end hold-off time. Setting the hold-off time can avoidthe generation of unnecessary alarms due tomisreport or jitter.

Alarm severity According to ITU-T recommendations, thealarm is classified into four severities: Criti-cal, Major, Minor, Warning.

Alarm A visible or an audible indication to notify theperson concerned that a failure or an emer-gency has occurred. See also Event.

ATM protection group An ATM protection group refers to the logi-cally bound ATM VP network or subnetworkconnections that share the same physicaltransmission channel. In the VP group(VPG), a pair of VP connections (workingconnection and its protection connection) isused for monitoring the automatic protectionswitching, called monitoring connections(APS VPCs). If the monitoring connectionsswitch over, the whole VPG will switch overto quicken the ATM protection switching (asquick as the protection switching of the SDHlayer.

B

Binding In virtual concatenated payload configura-tion, designating one binding number to iden-tify the VC4s of the same virtual concaten-ated payload is called "bind". If a fault occursto one of the bound services, all bound serv-ices will switch as a whole.

Board View The Board View displays the ports and thepaths in different colors depending on theircurrent status, with legend and description il-lustrated aside.

Bound path The VC Trunk refers to the 2 M paths whichare bound together to transmit Ethernet data.The VC Trunk is an entity between the Ether-net port and the 2 M path.

C

Client A kind of terminal (PC or workstation) con-nected to a network that can send instructionsto a server and get results through a user in-terface. See also server.

Configuration data The data that configures the NE hardware forcoordination between this NE and other NEsin the entire network and operation of speci-fied services. Configuration data is the in-struction file of NEs, and it is the key forefficient network running. The typical con-figuration data includes board configuration,clock configuration and protection relation-ship.

Configure To set the basic parameters of an operationobject.

Connection point A reference point where the output of a trailtermination source or a connection is boundto the input of another connection, or wherethe output of a connection is bound to the in-put of a trail termination sink or another con-nection. The connection point is character-ized by the information which passes acrossit. A bidirectional connection point is formedby the association of a contradirectional pair.

Connection A "transport entity" which consists of an as-sociated pair of "unidirectional connections"capable of simultaneously transferring infor-

mation in opposite directions between theirrespective inputs and outputs.

Cross-connect slot To perform GE ADM, an OTU board withthat function has to be in a cross-connect slot.Several successive cross-connect slots form across-connect unit group. You can only con-figure cross-connections within a cross-con-nect unit group.

Current alarms Alarms that do not clear, or has cleared but isnot acknowledged.

Current performance data The performance data stored in the currentregister is called current performance data.The current 15-minute or 24-hour register(only one for each) is applied to collect theperformance data in the current monitoringperiod. It changed within the monitor period.

D

DCC Within an STM-N signal there are two DCCchannels, one is the 192 kbit/s DCC-R chan-nel composed of bytes D1–D3, and the otheris the 576 kbit/s DCC-M channel composedof bytes D4–D12. All NEs can communicatewith one another through the DCC-R. TheDCC-M is not the regenerator section over-head and does not support communicationsamong regenerators, and it is used to supportcommunication channels of more universalpurpose. For example, it supports TMN as aphysical channel of ECC.

E

ECC Embedded Control Channel. An ECC pro-vides a logical operations channel betweenSDH NEs, utilizing a data communicationschannel (DCC) as its physical layer.

EMU Environment Monitoring Unit. As one type ofpower and environment monitoring unit,EMU is installed on the top of the OptiX155/622H equipment cabinet to monitor theenvironment variables, such as the powersupply and temperature. With external signalinput through the relay, fire alarm, smokealarm, burglary alarm, and so on can be moni-tored as well. Displayed on the T2000-LCT,the change of environment can be monitoredtimely and accurately.



F

Failure The fault cause persisted long enough to con-sider the ability of an item to perform a re-quired function to be terminated. The itemmay be considered as failed; a fault has nowbeen detected.

Fault A fault is the inability of a function to performa required action. This does not include aninability due to preventive maintenance, lackof external resources, or planned actions.

G

Gateway NE The NE that communicates with the NMSthrough an Ethernet line or a serial port line.The non-gateway NE communicates with thegateway NE through ECC and communicateswith the NMS through the gateway NE. Thegateway NE is a communication route that theT2000-LCT must pass through when manag-ing the entire network.

H

History alarms Alarms that have cleared and been acknowl-edged.

History performance data The performance data stored in the historyregister and the auto-report performance datastored on the T2000-LCT are called historyperformance data in a unified way.

I

IP address In the TCP/IP protocol, it is used to uniquelyidentify the address of the communicationport, which consists of four bytes in decimaldigits, for example, 129.9.161.55.

L

Label A mark on a cable, a subrack, or a cabinet foridentification.

Layer A concept used to allow the transport networkfunctionality to be described hierarchically assuccessive levels; each layer being solelyconcerned with the generation and transfer ofits characteristic information.

LCT Local Craft Terminal. The LCT provides theuser with single-layer management network



solutions to the transmission network of up tofive NEs to realize integrated management ofmulti-service transmission network. Usuallyit uses the cross-over cable or serial port cableto connect one NE, so as to configure andmaintain a single NE. See also T2000-LCT.

M

MSP Multiplex section protection. The nodes on-line achieve protection switching through theK1 and K2 bytes in the multiplex section, in-cluding linear 1+1 MS protection switchinglink, linear 1:n MS protection switching link,dedicated MS protection ring and shared MSprotection ring.

N

NE Explorer NE Explorer is the main operation interfaceof the T2000-LCT. For easy navigation, theNE Explorer window presents an expandabledirectory tree (Function Tree) in the lower leftpane. The configuration, management andmaintenance of the equipment are accessedhere.

NE Panel NE Panel displays subracks, boards, and portsin different colours depending on their status.In the T2000-LCT, most equipment configu-ration, monitoring, and maintenance are per-formed in the NE Panel window.

NE Network Element. NE includes the hardwareunit and the software running on it. Usually,one NE has at least an SCC (system controland communication) board which responsiblefor the management and monitoring of theNE. The NE software runs on the SCC board.

NM Network Management. In the telecommuni-cation network management architecture, theT2000-LCT is an element management sys-tem that supports all functions at the elementmanagement layer. See also T2000-LCT.

NNI Network Node Interface. NNI identifies theinterface between the ATM network nodes.See also SDH NNI.

Non-revertive In non-revertive switching, there is a workingand protection line, board and so on. Servicesremain on the protection line or board if the



switch requests are terminated; that is, whenthe fault that caused them to switch to theprotection line or board is cleared.

OWSP Optical Wavelength Shared Protection.OWSP is a bidirectional ring, where eachnode is equipped with an OWSP. There aretwo channels (λ1 and λ2) in the main opticalpath on the internal and external rings in eachspan on a ring. The fibre and the OWSP onthe main optical path are connected with theoptical ports inputting λ1 and λ2 on the mux/demux board (unnecessary to be connectedwith the OTU), and thus λ1 and λ2 can beadded and dropped at every node.

P

Pane A major separate area of a window or dialogbox, usually used for display rather than dataentry.

Path protection The working principle of path protection:When the system works in path protectionmode, the PDH path uses the dual-feed andselective-receive mode. Through the tributa-ry unit and cross-connect unit, the tributarysignal is sent simultaneously to the east andwest lines. Meanwhile, the cross-connect ma-trix sends the signal dually sent from theopposite end to the tributary board throughthe active and standby buses, and the hard-ware of the tributary board will selectivelyreceive the signal from the two groups ofbuses automatically according to the AISnumber of the lower order path.

Path A trail in a path layer.

Performance register Performance register is the memory space forperformance event counts, including 15-mincurrent performance register, 24-hour currentperformance register, 15-min history per-formance register, 24-hour history perform-ance register, UAT register and CSES regis-ter.



Performance threshold Performance events usually have upper andlower thresholds. When the performanceevent count value exceeds the upper thresh-old, a performance threshold-crossing eventis generated; when the performance eventcount value is below the upper threshold fora period of time, the performance threshold-crossing event is ended. In this way, perform-ance jitter caused by some sudden events canbe shielded.

PMU One type of power and environment moni-toring unit.

Private line Both communication parties are connectedpermanently.

Procedure A generic term for an action.

Process A generic term for a collection of actions.

Protection service A specific service that is part of a protectiongroup and is labelled protection.

Protection subnet The resources that form a protection subnet-work include NEs and fiber cables. The cre-ation of the protection subnetwork actuallymeans that corresponding logical system isconfigured for each NE by means of creatingthe protection subnetwork, the optical inter-faces (or VC4) of each board are mapped intothe logical system, and then these independ-ent logical systems are connected with oneanother to form a complete network structure.

R

ROADM Reconfiguration Optical Add/Drop Multi-plexing. ROADM helps you to terminate orpass through any one wavelength at everynode without affecting the existing services.At the same time, ROADM can change wave-lengths through the T2000-LCT remotely, toadjust wavelengths added or dropped in aquick and convenient manner. In addition,ROADM enables power equalization at pathlevel through a built-in power equalizationfunction, and thus adjusts power for pass-through paths in a better way than a band-based dynamic gain equalizer (DGE) does.

Route The IP route selection is in table drivingmode. In each host and each router of the In-



ternet, there is a routing table that containsinformation about how the service is trans-mitted from the source to the sink, providinga basis for route selection. Ethernet staticrouting in ET1 refers to the mapping relation-ship between the Ethernet port and the boundpath. Its routing type includes port routingand VLAN routing. Port routing: It meansconfiguring a route between the Ethernet portand the bound path port, which is usually usedfor point-to-point networking communica-tion; VLAN routing: It means configuring aroute between the Ethernet port and the boundpath port based on the VLAN service. It canbe used flexibly in point-to-point, point-to-multipoint or multipoint-to-multipoint com-munication. The implementation is to divideand converge the data stream according to theVLAN flag of the packet. As a VLAN flagcan be added to the Ethernet port, the equip-ment can be applied more flexibly.

S

SDH NNI SDH Network Node Interface. It is applied tobuild communications connection with theequipment beyond the T2000-LCT manage-ment area. Usually, the NM creates an SDHNNI by creating a logical system on the portof an idle line board, and the NE must be aTM without protection and fiber connection.

Section A trail in a section layer.

Settings Parameters of an operation that can be selec-ted by the user.

Severity See Alarm Severity.

SF Signal Fail. A signal indicating the associateddata has failed in the sense that a near-enddefect condition (not being the degraded de-fect) is active.

Shortcut menu A menu that is displayed when right-clickingan object' s name or icon. Also called a con-text menu.

Spread type The spread type of ATM service includespoint-to-point (p2p) and point-to-multipoint(including p2mpRoot and p2mpLeaf). Thep2p spread type supports real-time bi-direc-tional communication service. The two com-



munication parties are in the same status andparticipate the session actively. p2mpRootand p2mpLeaf belong to the point-to-multi-point spread type. It supports point-to-multi-point multicast service. During the creation ofa point-to-multipoint (multicast) connection,a connection to identify this group of connec-tions is necessary. This connection is ap2mpRoot connection, while other connec-tions are p2mpLeaf connections. If there is ap2mpLeaf connection in a group of connec-tions, the p2mpRoot cannot be deleted. Tocreate a multicast connection, the p2mpRootconnection must be created before the crea-tion of p2mpLeaf connection.

Subnet mask Also referred to as the network mask off code,it is used to define network segments, so thatonly the computers in the same network seg-ment can communicate with one another, thussuppressing broadcast storm between differ-ent network segments.

Subnet number Subnetwork numder is used to differentiatethe different network sections in the sub-net-work conference. Actually it is the first sev-eral digits (one or two) of the user phonenumber. An orderwire phone number is com-posed of the sub-network number and the usernumber.

Subnet Sub-network is the logical entity in the trans-mission network and comprises a group ofnetwork management objects. A sub-networkcan contain NEs and other sub-networks. Asub-network planning can better the organi-zation of a network view.

T

T2000 The T2000 is a subnetwork management sys-tem (SNMS). In the TMN architecture, theT2000 is located between the NE level andnetwork level, which can supports all func-tion of NE-level and part of the network-levelmanagement functions. See also NM.

T2000-LCT A lite version of T2000. It is an element levelmanagement system for the optical transmis-sion network. It can manage SDH, DWDM



and Metro optical transmission equipment.See also LCT.

TDA clock source TDA is short for Tone Data Access. For the2500+ NE equipment, it can be installed withthe external TDA board for which the clocksource must be set so that the TDA board canswitch according to the set clock source se-quence when clock source switching occurs.

TMN Telecommunications Management Network.The entity which provides the means used totransport and process information related tomanagement functions for the telecommuni-cations network.

Tributary loopback A fault can be located for each service pathby performing loopback to each path of thetributary board. There are three kinds of loop-back modes: No loopback, Outloop and In-loop.

U

UAT Unavailable Time. A UAT event is reportedwhen the monitored object generates 10 con-secutive severely errored seconds (SES) andthe SESs begin to be included in the unavail-able time. The event will end when the biterror ratio per second is better than 10-3 with-in 10 consecutive seconds.

Upload Report all or part of the configuration data ofthe NE to the NM and overwrite the config-uration data saved in the NE layer on the NMside.

User The user of the T2000-LCT client, and theuser and his/her password define the corre-sponding authority of operation and manage-ment of the T2000-LCT.

V

VC4 loopback The fault of each VC4 path on the optical fibercan be located by setting loopback for eachVC4 path of the line. There are three kinds ofloopback modes: No loopback, Outloop, In-loop.

VCI The VCI, shorted for Virtual Channel Identi-fier, occupies 16 bits in both NNI cell or UNIcell. It indicates the virtual channel in the



path. The VPI and VCI together indicate avirtual connection.

VLAN ID Namely, it is the virtual LAN identifier. OneEthernet port can support 4K VLAN routes,and one NE can support up to 8K VLANroutes.

VPI The VPI, shorted for Virtual Path Identifier,occupies 12 bits in the NNI cell, and 8 bits inthe UNI cell.

W

Wavelength protection group The wavelength protection group is importantto describe the wavelength protection struc-ture. Its function is similar to that of theprotection sub-network in the SDH NE. Thewavelength path protection can only workwith the correct configuration of the wave-length protection group.

WDM cross-connection Internal GE cross-connections for OTUboards with GE ADM function, the sourceand sink of which are optical ports at theWDM side and the client side. The level forWDM cross-connection is channel.

WDM service The WDM service is accessed at the clientside of the OTU board that can access SANservices.
