3.6 Operation Precautions The 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 before the T2000-LCT installation. To modify the system time of the server, exit the T2000-LCT server and restart it after the modification. To modify the system time of the client, exit the T2000-LCT client and restart it after the modification.

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 T2000LCT consistent through manual or automatic synchronization.

l

Back up the T2000-LCT database periodically to minimize loss caused by system abnormity.

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 Service Ports Description

A.1 Background This section describes the service ports used by management systems. To ensure the network security, you can take measures on the customer's network. The following are the two cases that affect the network security: l

Security filtering settings such as routers or firewalls are configured in the network environment where the NMS runs. When carrying out the project, avoid the service ports used 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 NMS will not run properly.

A.2 Notes and Precautions In the practical communication process, the source (the server) and the sink (the client) use relevant ports. Usually you only need to specify the source port, and the sink port is dynamically created. 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 can communicate with the sink.

Alarm hold-off time

Alarm delay includes start delay and end delay. An alarm is not regarded as being generated until the NE has been detecting it for a period of time, and this period of time is the alarm start hold-off time. An alarm is not regarded as being cleared until the NE has been detecting the ending of it for a period of time, and this period of time is the alarm end holdoff time. Setting the hold-off time can avoid the generation of unnecessary alarms due to misreport or jitter.

Alarm severity

According to ITU-T recommendations, the alarm is classified into four severities: Critical, Major, Minor, Warning.

Alarm

A visible or an audible indication to notify the person concerned that a failure or an emergency has occurred. See also Event.

ATM protection group

An ATM protection group refers to the logically bound ATM VP network or subnetwork connections that share the same physical transmission channel. In the VP group (VPG), a pair of VP connections (working connection and its protection connection) is used for monitoring the automatic protection switching, called monitoring connections (APS VPCs). If the monitoring connections switch over, the whole VPG will switch over to quicken the ATM protection switching (as quick as the protection switching of the SDH layer.

Configuration data

The data that configures the NE hardware for coordination between this NE and other NEs in the entire network and operation of specified services. Configuration data is the instruction file of NEs, and it is the key for efficient network running. The typical configuration data includes board configuration, clock configuration and protection relationship.

Configure

To set the basic parameters of an operation object.

Connection point

A reference point where the output of a trail termination source or a connection is bound to the input of another connection, or where the output of a connection is bound to the input of a trail termination sink or another connection. The connection point is characterized by the information which passes across it. A bidirectional connection point is formed by the association of a contradirectional pair.

mation in opposite directions between their respective inputs and outputs. Cross-connect slot

To perform GE ADM, an OTU board with that function has to be in a cross-connect slot. Several successive cross-connect slots form a cross-connect unit group. You can only configure cross-connections within a cross-connect unit group.

Current alarms

Alarms that do not clear, or has cleared but is not acknowledged.

Current performance data

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

D DCC

Within an STM-N signal there are two DCC channels, one is the 192 kbit/s DCC-R channel composed of bytes D1–D3, and the other is the 576 kbit/s DCC-M channel composed of bytes D4–D12. All NEs can communicate with one another through the DCC-R. The DCC-M is not the regenerator section overhead and does not support communications among regenerators, and it is used to support communication channels of more universal purpose. For example, it supports TMN as a physical channel of ECC.

Path protection

The working principle of path protection: When the system works in path protection mode, the PDH path uses the dual-feed and selective-receive mode. Through the tributary unit and cross-connect unit, the tributary signal is sent simultaneously to the east and west lines. Meanwhile, the cross-connect matrix sends the signal dually sent from the opposite end to the tributary board through the active and standby buses, and the hardware of the tributary board will selectively receive the signal from the two groups of buses automatically according to the AIS number of the lower order path.

Path

Performance threshold

Performance events usually have upper and lower thresholds. When the performance event count value exceeds the upper threshold, a performance threshold-crossing event is generated; when the performance event count value is below the upper threshold for a period of time, the performance thresholdcrossing event is ended. In this way, performance jitter caused by some sudden events can be shielded.

ROADM

Reconfiguration Optical Add/Drop Multiplexing. ROADM helps you to terminate or pass through any one wavelength at every node without affecting the existing services. At the same time, ROADM can change wavelengths through the T2000-LCT remotely, to adjust wavelengths added or dropped in a quick and convenient manner. In addition, ROADM enables power equalization at path level through a built-in power equalization function, and thus adjusts power for passthrough paths in a better way than a bandbased dynamic gain equalizer (DGE) does.

Route

ternet, there is a routing table that contains information about how the service is transmitted from the source to the sink, providing a basis for route selection. Ethernet static routing in ET1 refers to the mapping relationship between the Ethernet port and the bound path. Its routing type includes port routing and VLAN routing. Port routing: It means configuring a route between the Ethernet port and the bound path port, which is usually used for point-to-point networking communication; VLAN routing: It means configuring a route between the Ethernet port and the bound path port based on the VLAN service. It can be used flexibly in point-to-point, point-tomultipoint or multipoint-to-multipoint communication. The implementation is to divide and converge the data stream according to the VLAN flag of the packet. As a VLAN flag can be added to the Ethernet port, the equipment can be applied more flexibly. S

munication parties are in the same status and participate the session actively. p2mpRoot and p2mpLeaf belong to the point-to-multipoint spread type. It supports point-to-multipoint multicast service. During the creation of a point-to-multipoint (multicast) connection, a connection to identify this group of connections is necessary. This connection is a p2mpRoot connection, while other connections are p2mpLeaf connections. If there is a p2mpLeaf connection in a group of connections, the p2mpRoot cannot be deleted. To create a multicast connection, the p2mpRoot connection must be created before the creation of p2mpLeaf connection. Subnet mask

Also referred to as the network mask off code, it is used to define network segments, so that only the computers in the same network segment can communicate with one another, thus suppressing broadcast storm between different network segments.

Subnet number

Subnetwork numder is used to differentiate the different network sections in the sub-network conference. Actually it is the first several digits (one or two) of the user phone number. An orderwire phone number is composed of the sub-network number and the user number.
