2.3 Network Element Stability Management 2.3.1 Introduction to Network Element Stability Management The NetNumen U31 system collects the stability events from all managed Network Elements (NEs), stores the collected events in the database of the system, and generates statistical report as required. The collected events also include those occurring during the maintenance of NEs. Users can add the information of the maintenance plan to exclude the events during maintenance from the stability report because they cannot reflect the actual stability of NEs. l
Stability Event An NE collects the events occurring in all its boards and sends the collected event information to the alarm mail box of the NetNumen U31 system. The stability management application of the NetNumen U31 system listens this alarm mail box in real time. The NetNumen U31 system determines the weight of an event according to its board type weight and board redundancy weight. à
Board Type Weight The system sets the weight of an event according to the type of the board where the event occurs. Boards in an NE can be classified into two types: interface board and processing board. The weight of a processing board is higher than an interface board.
à
Board Redundancy Weight The system sets the weight of an event according to the redundancy mode of the board where the event occurs, as well as the quantity of redundant boards, board type, and bandwidth. The board redundancy weight varies with the redundancy mode, such as no redundancy, 1+1 backup, or load sharing.
l
Maintenance Plan If a maintenance plan is made for an NE, you need to specify the information of this plan in the system, including the start time, end time, involved NE type, maintenance operations, and maintenance objects, to exclude the stability events occurring during the maintenance. After that, the system does not involve the events occurring during the maintenance for the statistics of stability events when generating a stability report.
To start the management of stability events, select Configuration > Wireless Config Application > NE Stability Management on the menu bar of the client window.

2.4 Base Station Status Management 2.4.1 Introduction to Base Station Status Generally, a base station works in either of the following four status. l
Normal status The base station is operating properly.
l
Testing status The base station is under test or maintenance. In this status, large amounts of alarms are generated. The alarm and performance data generated during the test or maintenances is not reported to the network element management system because such data does not make sense for performance analysis of the base station. The testing status does not influence the report of configuration data.
l
Fault Management (FM) testing status The base station in FM testing status does not report all or part of its alarm data to the EMS.
l
Performance Management (PM) testing status The base station in PM testing status does not report all or part of its performance data to the EMS.

2.6 Inventory Management 2.6.1 Introduction to Inventory Management NetNumen U31 provides the inventory management functions for managing and maintaining the information of boards and software versions uploaded from the managed Network Elements (NEs). The prerequisite of inventory management is the normal communication between NetNumen U31 and the managed NEs. In addition to the uploaded inventory information, some inventory information that cannot be obtained from the managed NEs can be manually added into the system. However, the added inventory information is subject to the actual data of the NEs. That means the manually-added inventory information will be overwritten if NetNumen U31 gets the corresponding information from the NEs. The synchronization of inventory information is recommended to ensure the data consistency between NetNumen U31 and the managed NEs. Before inventory management operations, select Configuration > Wireless Config Application > Inventory Management on the menu bar in the client window to open the Inventory Management dialog box.

2.10 Consistency Check of User Labels 2.10.1 Introduction to User Label Relation Management A local cell may be referred to as an external cell by a base station. In this base station, the user label of the external cell is identical to that of the local cell. If a user modifies the user label of the local cell or the external cell, an inconsistency occurs in two user labels. In this case, the function of managing user label relations can be used to overwrite the user label of the external cell with the local one when the consistency of user labels is required between a local cell and corresponding external cell. In addition, the NetNumen U31 system can show the user labels of all local cells of a managed element and those of corresponding external cells, and highlight the local cells with inconsistent user labels.
2.10.2 Checking Consistency of User Labels Abstract This section describes how to check the consistency between the user labels of local cells in a base station and the user labels of these cells when they are configured as external cells in other base stations. 2-60 SJ-20110823134613-010|2011-09-23(R1.0)

2.12 Configuration Data Collection 2.12.1 Introduction to Configuration Data Collection The NetNumen U31 system provides a configuration data collection tool for collecting configuration data from Operation & Maintenance Modules (OMM) of managed Network Elements (NEs). It generates a file for each type of configuration data and stores all configuration data files on the server. You can get these files from the server, and view the contents in the files on the client.
Note: NetNumen U31, that is, the network Element Management System (EMS), can only successfully complete the configuration data collection when the OMMs also support the collection of configuration data.
Before collecting configuration data, you need to create a template to specify the configuration data you want to collect.
