TN Telecommunication Network This network is made of interconnected NEs . It represents the physical media ensuring the transmission
function (e.g.: STM16 ring made of 1660SM OMSNs). EML Element Management Layer The whole NE configuration can be managed from this layer on an individual basis: hardware, cross-
connections, synchronisation, protections, alarms, performance... The Alcatel EML layer is made of 1353NM (centralised system)
NML Network Management Layer The system belonging to this layer allows the operators to manage connectivity, routing (trails and paths)
and the relevant protections in various topologies. Furthermore the NML is in charge of Network Alarms and Performance Monitoring. The Alcatel NML layer is made of 1354R (centralised system) .
TMN Telecommunication Management Network This management network is made of 5 layers. Only EML and NML are referred in this document.

The NEs are managed from the 1353NM via EML IM The EML IM is responsible for maintaining a consistent view of the NE
configuration and status. It is responsible for managing NEs of different types and releases There are several EML IM classes per 1353NM (see notes). Each EML IM classes can have several instances, created during the system installation and configuration

The 1353NM acts as a pass-through for messages from/to 1354RM to/from Q3 NEs. Each single configuration request from the 1354RM does not require mapping in the 1353NM, and only this configuration request is sent to the Q3 NE (not the configuration tables, including unchanged information, as in the NR3.x). This improves 1354RM performance with the NEs. Consistency checks on the required operation are performed by the NE itself. So the 1353NM does not need to know all the implementation details of all NE types and releases.

AVA formats. The EOS can ask for the current alarm list, and then receive alarms in unsolicited way.
Performance monitoring The Ioo is able to export Performance Monitoring data (through a socket based ASCII interface or FTP)
using either CSV or AVA formats. The Ioo interface can export
• The list of TPs where PM has been activated • The actual PM measurements data. Network directory The Ioo is able to export the list of Network Elements managed by the 1353NM product, together with their
main attributes and states. Remote Inventory The Ioo is able to export the Remote Inventory of Network Elements managed by the 1353NM product.

Hardware-Architecture
Alcatel 1353 NM may run on a scalable set of computers ranging from small to large servers, providing the best cost performance ratio depending on the managed network size.
Access to the system is provided using PCs through “Go-Global” software.
High Availability
In order to provide high service availability, different levels of resilient configurations can be provided on servers, ranging from simple disk mirroring, cold standby systems, warm active/standby systems and remote crash recovery centre.

From the software point of view, the 1353NM is composed of two
subsystems:
User Service Manager (USM) This
subsystem interacts with the user, processing his requests and issuing them to the appropriate IM subsystem.
Information Manager (IM) This
subsystem handles the logical functional data processing and its persistency
This subdivision is reflected in the installation (Master and Presentation
servers)

The Master Server (IM)
2 types of architecture can be chosen to install the TMN system: 1
server where many “instances” of 1353NM and 1354RM can coexist.( for example 1 1353NM and 1 1354RM) 1 server for each instance.
The Presentation server (USM)
A Presentation server can provide the presentation instances for 1353NM and 1354RM.
1353NM rel.7.3 and rel. 7.4 co-hosting
Due to QB3* dismission in Release 7.4, 1353NM rel. 7.3 and 7.4 master and presentation instances shall be able to run over the same HW platform. In
this way, there is no need to add new TMN HW dedicated to QB3* management when migrating to NM7.4.

The NE creation form gives the operator the
opportunity to select himself a particular EML-IM. To do that, the fields “Supervision Area” and “EML Domain “ have to be used. The “Process Monitoring” analysis of the system can be helpful to make such a choice. To display the list of the existing EML-IMs, open the Process Monitoring window as follow:
Supervision Area (primary)
From TMN-OSs Management window, select 1353NM
icon then click on the Process Monitoring Icon In the Process Monitoring window , expand the tree structure up to the Retix stack and the EML-IM list. Identify the processes which can be in charge of the NE to be created.
The Retix stack sub processes suffix suggest the Supervision EML domain (100 or 101) Area EML domain must be chosen among the “EMLIMADMQ3” ones

IP over OSI tunneling is a technique that consists in the insertion (encapsulation) of the IP packets in OSI traffic. Starting from 1353NM, SNMP messages carrying the IP address of the target ISA board are encapsulated in OSI packets and then sent through the OSI tunnel to the OMSN hosting the target ISA board. The OSI tunnel is terminated, into the OMSN, by the “Point to Point” IP address belonging to its Equipment Controller. From here, the IP packets are routed to the proper local ISA board. By means of the “IP Tunnel Provisioning GUI”, the user can configure and activate the IP over OSI tunnels on the 1353NM. The tunnels are then managed by the system by means of the “IP Tunnel Engine”, working on the IP tunnel list. The Tunnel driver encapsulates the IP packets into OSI and forwards the packets to the tunnel engine

The ositunneling process and the EML IM (EMLIMCORBASNMP_xxx) linked to the ISA board must be associated to a “virtual” supervision area. Check with the system administrator. The same ositunneling process instance can support more than one tunnels towards different NEs. It means that with a single ositunneling process, different ISA boards located in different OMSN can be supervised.

Generalities 2 - 2 - 56
Graphical Interfaces - Network Topology
The Alcatel 1850 Transport Service Switch (TSS) (a.k.a. 4G NE) is a multi-service
transport platform able to support any mix of traffic from 100% TDM to 100% data. This is achieved by a technology independent (universal) switch that is capable of switching packets or circuits in their native format and transport them as they are. The Alcatel 1850 TSS platform comes in five sizes, according to different transport switching capacities: 1850 TSS-15, TSS-40, TSS-100, TSS-320 and TSS-640. In NR 8.1 (1353NM Rel7.4) only TSS-40 and TSS-320 are supported. 1850 TSS-40 is seen by the network management as a pure SNMP NE, so please refer to the chapter dedicated to the SNMP NE creation and addressing further on in this chapter 1850 TSS-320 is an integrated TDM/Data platform that can be configured as: Pure TRansport Platform (PTRP), providing pure TDM and WDM transport capability Multi-Service Provisioning Platform (MSPP), providing the capability of integrated
transport of TDM and data traffic. Carrier Ethernet Transport Platform (CETP), or Full Data, providing data traffic transport capability.

In this configuration, both the Q3 and the SNMP communication sessions need to be established between the 1353NM and the 1850TSS NE. Therefore, the DCN must support both the protocols. This can be achieved in two ways: A DCN able to transport contemporarily both the Q3 and the SNMP traffic (OSI/IP DCN) A Q3 DCN over which an IP over OSI tunnel must be instantiated (OSI DCN)

2.5 NE Autodiscovery
Principles 2 - 2 - 112
Graphical Interfaces - Network Topology
NE-autodiscovery is a feature that makes automatic the procedure of
creating a new NE in the NM database. The following cosiderations apply: The NE must first be created in the Craft Terminal and the following parameters
must be set-up by the CT:
node name networking set-up (NE/OS addresses, routing protocols, tunnels, etc.)
Furthermore, DCN interconnecting the NE to the 1353NM must be up and
running NE Autodiscovery procedure must be launched first by the CT after all the local transmission tests have been carried out, and the node is considered ready to support live traffic NE-autodiscovery procedure (bottom-up) is anyway compatible with the traditional top-down method, where new NEs are manually created on 1353NM

2.5 NE Autodiscovery
Principles [cont.] 2 - 2 - 113
Graphical Interfaces - Network Topology
The Discovery messages pass the following information: NE type & release NE name and location NE address OS address (Q3 only)
The Discovery message is directly sent over the appropriate Layer 3 (CLNS
– also for ISA Boards - or IP). No application session is established between the NE and 1353NM. Since the messages go through the node, they exploit the same DCN routes available to 1353NM when it will request the node supervision The procedure is different if the NE to be discovered is or not a 4G NE

The procedures for creating NE’s which have been previously presented add an entry in the database of the IM process and adds an icon to the current submap (USM). This icon is linked to the entry in the IM database. Several icons, even icons belonging to different maps, can be linked to a given database entry (i.e. an NE). For NEs already created in the database, one more related icon can be added to any submap at any time. To do this, the operator has to work from the “Global Inventory” (See next page).

5 Addressing NEs with IP tunnel:OSI over IP
Principle 2 - 2 - 152
Graphical Interfaces - Network Topology
OSI over IP tunneling is a technique that consists in the insertion (encapsulation) of the OSI traffic in IP packets. The extremities of the tunnels are typically a 1353NM server and an NE. The DCN connecting the 1353NM and the NE will carry IP packets. The NE and the 1353NM server need to support the OSI and IP protocols, the routers only need to support the IP protocol.

The OSI-over-IP can be used to: 1. Interconnect the 1353NM to a GNE through an IP network. In this case, the connectivity is provided
also with all the other NEs reachable from this GNE (e.g. using OSI protocol on DCC). 2. Interconnect the 1353NM to a Router through an IP network. In this case, 1353NM will be able to
manage all the NEs reachable via that router using OSI protocol. 3. Interconnect two NEs one to each other, e.g. one of them being located at customer premises and not
being reachable using DCCs, or one NE with a Router. In this scope, the OSI-over-IP feature of 1353NM is not used. Warning: SH: max 32 tunnels per LAN I/F Tunnels give important processing load to terminating nodes Take care of L2 backbone design

A distributed map is marked by the system as “Locked” by the user who has retrieved it last. It is kept Locked until this map is displayed by the Map Management. As soon as the user select a new empty map or retrieves another map, the Locked attribute is reset. If another user (user2) issues the retrieving of a distributed map while it is Locked by another user (user1), user2 must “Unlock” the map. This triggers two actions: user1 is adviced that the map has been unlocked by user2 The map is marked as locked by user2

Alignment state: Misaligned: The NE MIB and its image in the OS are not identical. Typically, the NE is in this state
when: • The Supervision state is “Not supervised” • In case of Q3 or SNMP NE, when the communication link between the 1353NM and the NE is down (Communication state = Disabled) • In case of 1850TSS-320 MSPP NE, when the primary (Q3) or the secondary (SNMP) or both the communication links are down - N.B.: In case only one of the communication links are down, the Communication state stays in Enabled During the alignment phase, (Aligning up or down or Auditing), the shown Alignment State is still
“Misaligned”. It turns into “Aligned” when the alignment phase is finished Aligning Up: The system is performing a “MIB Align Upwards” operation. No operation can be done
on the NE Aligning Down: The system is performing a “MIB Align Downwards” operation. No operation can be
done on the NE Auditing: The NE is under OS supervision and the system is comparing the NE MIB with its image in
the OS Aligned: the system becomes aligned when all the operations for synchronizing the 1353NM with the
NE are fully completed. The synchronization procedure involves the alarms, the PM and NE. In Config: The NE is being configured and no alignment has been undertaken yet

The NE simulator is NE software which runs on the 1353NM. The availability of the NE simulator depends on the type and version of the NE. The NE simulator is started up (and stopped) manually by the 1353NM operator. The system never automatically starts or stops the NE simulator.

The FT Scheduler can also be started from: TMN-OS Window: issue Actions 1353NM Admin NE Administration FT Scheduler
The FT Scheduler updates the MIB configuration in the simulator. In order to restore a MIB backed-up with the FT scheduler, the « Simulator Align down » command must be issued to the NE. Therefore, scheduling a MIB backup makes sense only for those NEs that support the simulator. If the NE doesn’t support the simulator, the MIB backup can be scheduled, but then there is no way to restore it

The NE Event Log is not persistent after a NE restart The 1353NM gives the possibility to save on a persistent file the Q3 and the SNMP Events selected by the operator. This operation must be performed in two steps:
1. Configure the Log: the operator can select a subset of notifications that wants to
store into the persistent file 2. Retrieve the archived event notification
The administrator can then manage the Event Log File to produce a text file with event fields translated like ELB application.
The log file creation is allowed only to Administrator user in order to avoid log files proliferation and because only Admin can run a text editor on NM machine.

2 Alarm Debouncing
Principles 4 - 1 - 20
Maintenance Applications - Alarm Management
Alarm Debouncing consists in holding the Clear events (no propagation to
AS and upper Managers) for a given period, to check whether a new Raise of the same Probable Cause on the same NE resource is generated. If the alarm is raised again, the Clear notification is not propagated to upper managers, and the record in the AS is kept with Repetition Counter attribute increased by one If the alarm is not raised within the hold period, the Clear event is normally propagated. The Clear Time is kept according to the NE timestamp. Alarm debouncing reduce the number of records stored/displayed in the AS CAL and the related traffic to upper managers (1354RM, 1354BM etc)

Maintenance Applications - Alarm Management
The Historical Alarm List (HAL) contains former current alarms that have
been archived through one of the following processes (if these alarms match the archiving filter): auto-purging manual purging overflow acknowledged and cleared alarms synchronisation
Alcatel 1353NM Alcatel 1353NM rel. 7.4 Operation
All rights reserved © 2006, Alcatel
Auto-purging these alarms have never been inserted in the Current Alarm List (CAL).
Manual purging an AS operator has manually removed one or more selected alarms from the CAL.
Overflow Maximum size of the CAL has been reached and alarms are removed from it
Synchronisation Alarms that are not confirmed on a synchronisation command are automatically cleared by the
application. Among them, those which were previously acknowledged are forwarded to the HAL

You can store a set of alarms (put together by selecting from the Main List or any sublist) in a user- defined file. You can then retrieve alarms from this file instead of from the HP-Log or Public Archive, or in conjunction with this source.

of alarms) and the criteria by which the alarms are to be deleted (these alarms are archived in the historical list). Automatic purge According to the filter criteria, some incoming alarms may be immediately archived, without going
through the current state, that is without being displayed in the current alarms part of Alarm Supervision. Automatic acknowledgement According to the filter criteria, the operator may decide to acknowledge some alarms automatically
when they enter the CAL. Automatic trouble ticket creation According to the filtering criteria, the operator has a way of automatically requesting the creation of
trouble tickets in an external ARS application when the alarms appear in the CAL. Selective archiving mechanism According to the filter criteria, the operator can prevent some alarms from being archived in the
historical list. By default, the system plans to archive all the alarms. If this filter is changed, the alarms that are not archived are lost. Synchronisation Because the CAL, for any reason, may become out of step with the network alarms situation, the
operator can provoke a synchronisation mechanism which performs a global refresh of the CAL checking all the resources involved. All rights reserved © 2006, Alcatel 3FL41020ACAAWBZZA Edition 1.00 Section 4 - Module 1 - Page 68

Introduction to SDH performance monitoring [cont.] 4 - 2 - 11
Maintenance Applications - Performance Management
The performance counters are linked to TPs to count transmission errors. The operator can initiate performance monitoring on one or more subsets
of counters for each TP. Data is collected automatically and periodically by the OS. The main performance management functions are: configuring the counting period (15 min and/or 24 hours) for each of the NE's
performance points, configuring quality thresholds, collecting performance data, displaying performance data.

TP: Termination Point The history files are date-and-time-stamped by the UTC (as for alarms). The measurement intervals begin at 00 : 00 (UTC) for 24 hour periods and at xx : 00, xx : 15, xx : 30 and xx : 45 for 15-minute periods. Data collection takes place at 00h02 for 24-hour periods and every two hours for 15-minute periods. Thresholds The thresholds can be defined separately for 15 minute and 24 hour counters. If threshold values are exceeded for a TP, a Threshold Crossing Alarm (TCA) is generated by the NE.

EB A block with one or more errored bits.
ES A period of one second with one or more errored blocks.
SES A period of one second which contains more than 30% errored blocks, or at least one Severely
Disturbed Period (SDP). An SES is also counted as an errored second.
CSES A sequence of X consecutive SES, in which X can be configured.
UAT A UAT period which begins on the occurrence of ten consecutive SES events. These 10 seconds are considered to be part of an unavailable time period. A new unavailable time period begins when ten consecutive non-SES events occur.
UAS A UAS is a second that is part of an unavailable time period.

On
WDM equipment, some transponder boards also support PM at FEC layer: FEC is inserted by the transponder on the coloured transmission side,
and the receiving transponder is able to detect errors and possibly correct them while decoding the FEC. PM on FEC layer gives information about the signal quality between the transmitting transponder coloured output and the receiving transponder coloured input PM on WDM signal (FEC)

Counters are sampled with 1h (or 15 min, see notes) and 24h granularity period All counters are free-running: this means that they are not reset at the end of the sampling period. This lead easily to an unfriendly GUI representation. For this reason, reports on Ethernet counters are available in 1353NM showing deltas with respect to the previous measurement.

ISA-ES1/4, starting from Rel 1.3 on, and ISA-ES16, starting from Rel. 2.2 on, support PM granularity period of either 1h or 15min (please note that ALL cards on the same NE must be configured with the same granularity period, i.e. either15min or 1h). For these kinds of board, 1353NM support the two granularity type, with the following configuration notes and constraints: The desired granularity is settled in the configuration file of the EMLIM supporting the NE
(EMLIMCORBASNMP) during the system configuration (see details in the Administration handbooks and Training Manuals): EMLIMs then set the monitoring granularity on the NE at the Start Supervision. Due to the fact that the configuration file is unique for all the EMLIMCORBASNMP instantiated in the system, the consequence is that the selected granularity should apply to the ISA-ES board of the whole network supervised by the 1353NM. • Mixed networks where some ISA-ES provide 15min and some others ISA-ES provide 1h data are not supported When the supervision is started by the 1353NM on a ISA-ES with a different monitoring granularity
period, the PM points of then NE all switch to the granularity configured in the 1353NM
