Colours of The Network Element Icons According to its operational state, the NE icon inner box can be represented with one of the colours below. The colour definition is compliant with ITU/T recommendations Z.323 and Z 322. Magenta The system is discarding alarms from the NE, thus the NE icon colour does not match the real equipment alarm state. Red The communication between EM and NE is active. One or more critical alarms are currently active on the NE. Orange The communication between EM and NE is active. One or more major alarms are currently active on the NE. Yellow The NE is communicating with the EM. One or more Minor alarms are currently active on the NE. Blue The NE is communicating with the EM. One or more Warning alarms are currently active on the NE. Green In Service state. The NE is communicating with the EM. No active alarms are present. Sea Green The NE is communicating with the EM. The Parking State has been set in the NE. Grey Isolated.The NE is not communicating with the EM. Brown (white icon foreground) The NE Family is unavailable (stopped). A user has manually stopped the processes relevant to that plug-in. Black (white icon foreground) The NE is unavailable (stopped). A user has manually stopped the relevant NE communication processes. White The communication to the NE is being started. The duration of this state can depends on the performance of the network. At the system start-up the NEs get this state.
Note (*)
For MHC, MTN and MSI, once started a NE, there are three situations for which such NE becames white: •
There is an authentication error (i.e. the SNMP password is not the right one)
•
The ne type is not right.
•
There are communication errors with the NE.
When a NE becames white, the following events take place: •

ServiceOn Microwave Element Manager - Operator Guide 2BElement Management User Interface
The Logical Operators are: “=,,=,Like, Not Like”. The use of relational operators in the Inventory Data Filter is the classic one, while ‘Like’ and ‘Not Like’ Operators must be used with ‘*’ as jolly character. Examples of researches on Networks:
NOTICE
•
Begin with ‘NA’, write “NetName Like ‘NA*’”
•
Does not begin with ‘NA’, write “NetName Not Like ‘NA*’”
•
Ends with ‘NA’, write “NetName Like ‘*NA’ ”
•
Does not end with ‘NA’, write “NetName Not Like ‘*NA’ ”
•
Contains ‘NA’ , write “NetName Like ‘*NA*’ ”
•
Not contains ‘NA’ , write “NetName Not Like ‘*NA*’ ”
Do not type ‘_’ and ‘%’ as last characters before ‘*’ jolly character, since they are interpreted as jolly characters too.
Clicking on OK and Apply buttons saves filter. Operator can enable filters by selecting Enabled item in View->Physical Inventory Filter menu. As soon as the item is selected the window is reloaded (tree and minimal Inventory data) and data is filtered according to configured choices. In the status bar additional panels are showed in order to inform operator on the levels at whose filters have been configured.

The third frame can be shown only if the system is set to "Trusted Mode" and the SAH_ENABLE variable, within $NCS/data/NCS_INSTALL file, is set to 1. In the fourth frame each alarm severity (Critical, Major, Minor, Warning) has got two counters: one for the total alarm number, the other for not acknowledged alarms; counters refer to the visible alarms (according to user settings). ALERT
Please close and restart the RTM after every port label realignment, in order to have correlation between new alarms and new port label names.
Real Time Monitoring window has the following components: Button Bar Set of push buttons to perform alarm clearing, alarm acknowledgement, to set a filter on the alarm presentation, to configure and save the default layout for the RTM window as well.
Columns Each column gives particular information about alarms and events. A single click on the column heading arranges the relevant information in alphabetic order according to the subject. One column can be hidden or displayed as well as moved toward left or to right side in custom different position. The layout obtained can be saved and applied as a default

See Also: Meaning of the Fields 4.1.1.1
BBE Background Block Errors. A cumulative count indicating the number of errored blocks of a performance data reporting period.
4.1.1.2
BBER Background Block Error Ratio. The EM calculates the ratio in the following way: BBER = BBE/(p - SES) where 'p' value is: (900 - UAS) for 15m performance (86400 - UAS) for 24H performance If the (p - SES) value is equal to 0 the division is indeterminate and in this case for the BBER value is displayed: "Unavailable (UAS = full period)"
4.1.1.3
CSES Consecutive Severely Errored Seconds. When the number of consecutive SES exceeds the CSES threshold then CSES is increased. Value range is from 2 to 9.
4.1.1.4
EFS Error Free Seconds.
4.1.1.5
ES Errored Seconds. A cumulative count indicating the number of seconds during which block errors have been detected.
4.1.1.6
ESR Errored Seconds Ratio. The EM calculates the ratio in the following way: ESR = ES/p where 'p' value is: (900 - UAS) for 15m performance (86400 - UAS) for 24H performance
