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 l
Avoid modifying the name and IP address of the T2000-LCT server computer. In Windows, you must log in as the user you chosen during T2000-LCT installation. Do not change the user and password of Windows. 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. Back up the T2000-LCT database periodically to minimize loss caused by system abnormity. It is recommended to query the latest data from NE before setting parameters. Usually, when a hazardous operation is performed, the T2000-LCT will ask for confirmation.

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. 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 l
The service ports used by the NMS should not be closed. 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.

A Alarm hold-off time
Glossary
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. According to ITU-T recommendations, the alarm is classified into four severities: Critical, Major, Minor, Warning. A visible or an audible indication to notify the person concerned that a failure or an emergency has occurred. See also Event. 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. Property of an object.

D DCC Within an STM-N signal there are two DCC channels, one is the 192 kbit/s DCC-R channel composed of bytes D1D3, and the other is the 576 kbit/s DCC-M channel composed of bytes D4D12. 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.
E ECC Embedded Control Channel. An ECC provides a logical operations channel between SDH NEs, utilizing a data communications channel (DCC) as its physical layer. Environment Monitoring Unit. As one type of power and environment monitoring unit, EMU is installed on the top of the OptiX 155/622H equipment cabinet to monitor the environment variables, such as the power supply and temperature. With external signal input through the relay, fire alarm, smoke alarm, burglary alarm, and so on can be monitored as well.

F Failure The fault cause persisted long enough to consider the ability of an item to perform a required function to be terminated. The item may be considered as failed; a fault has now been detected. A fault is the inability of a function to perform a required action. This does not include an inability due to preventive maintenance, lack of external resources, or planned actions.
Fault
G Gateway NE The NE that communicates with the NMS through an Ethernet line or a serial port line. The non-gateway NE communicates with the gateway NE through ECC and communicates with the NMS through the gateway NE. The gateway NE is a communication route that the T2000-LCT must pass through when managing the entire network.
H History alarms History performance data Alarms that have cleared and been acknowledged. The performance data stored in the history register and the auto-report performance data stored on the T2000-LCT are called history performance data in a unified way.
I IP address In the TCP/IP protocol, it is used to uniquely identify the address of the communication port, which consists of four bytes in decimal digits, for example, 129.9.161.55.
L Label Layer A mark on a cable, a subrack, or a cabinet for identification. A concept used to allow the transport network functionality to be described hierarchically as successive levels; each layer being solely concerned with the generation and transfer of its characteristic information.

solutions to the transmission network of up to five NEs to realize integrated management of multi-service transmission network. Usually it uses the cross-over cable or serial port cable to connect one NE, so as to configure and maintain a single NE. See also T2000-LCT. M MSP Multiplex section protection. The nodes online achieve protection switching through the K1 and K2 bytes in the multiplex section, including linear 1+1 MS protection switching link, linear 1:n MS protection switching link, dedicated MS protection ring and shared MS protection ring.
N NE Explorer NE Explorer is the main operation interface of the T2000-LCT. For easy navigation, the NE Explorer window presents an expandable directory tree (Function Tree) in the lower left pane. The configuration, management and maintenance of the equipment are accessed here. NE Panel displays subracks, boards, and ports in different colours depending on their status. In the T2000-LCT, most equipment configuration, monitoring, and maintenance are performed in the NE Panel window. Network Element. NE includes the hardware unit and the software running on it. Usually, one NE has at least an SCC (system control and communication) board which responsible for the management and monitoring of the NE. The NE software runs on the SCC board. Network Management. In the telecommunication network management architecture, the T2000-LCT is an element management system that supports all functions at the element management layer. See also T2000-LCT. Network Node Interface. NNI identifies the interface between the ATM network nodes. See also SDH NNI. In non-revertive switching, there is a working and protection line, board and so on. Services remain on the protection line or board if the

O Online help An indexed collection of information on all aspects of the T2000-LCT. They can be accessed at any time from the Help menu or by pressing the F1 key. Optical Wavelength Shared Protection. OWSP is a bidirectional ring, where each node is equipped with an OWSP. There are two channels (1 and 2) in the main optical path on the internal and external rings in each span on a ring. The fibre and the OWSP on the main optical path are connected with the optical ports inputting 1 and 2 on the mux/ demux board (unnecessary to be connected with the OTU), and thus 1 and 2 can be added and dropped at every node.
OWSP
P Pane A major separate area of a window or dialog box, usually used for display rather than data entry. 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. A trail in a path layer. Performance register is the memory space for performance event counts, including 15-min current performance register, 24-hour current performance register, 15-min history performance register, 24-hour history performance register, UAT register and CSES register.

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. One type of power and environment monitoring unit. Both communication parties are connected permanently. A generic term for an action. A generic term for a collection of actions. A specific service that is part of a protection group and is labelled protection. The resources that form a protection subnetwork include NEs and fiber cables. The creation of the protection subnetwork actually means that corresponding logical system is configured for each NE by means of creating the protection subnetwork, the optical interfaces (or VC4) of each board are mapped into the logical system, and then these independent logical systems are connected with one another to form a complete network structure.

R 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. The IP route selection is in table driving mode. In each host and each router of the In-

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 SDH NNI SDH Network Node Interface. It is applied to build communications connection with the equipment beyond the T2000-LCT management area. Usually, the NM creates an SDH NNI by creating a logical system on the port of an idle line board, and the NE must be a TM without protection and fiber connection. A trail in a section layer. Parameters of an operation that can be selected by the user. See Alarm Severity. Signal Fail. A signal indicating the associated data has failed in the sense that a near-end defect condition (not being the degraded defect) is active. A menu that is displayed when right-clicking an object' s name or icon. Also called a context menu. The spread type of ATM service includes point-to-point (p2p) and point-to-multipoint (including p2mpRoot and p2mpLeaf). The p2p spread type supports real-time bi-directional communication service.

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. 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. Sub-network is the logical entity in the transmission network and comprises a group of network management objects. A sub-network can contain NEs and other sub-networks. A sub-network planning can better the organization of a network view.

For the 2500+ NE equipment, it can be installed with the external TDA board for which the clock source must be set so that the TDA board can switch according to the set clock source sequence when clock source switching occurs. Telecommunications Management Network. The entity which provides the means used to transport and process information related to management functions for the telecommunications network. A fault can be located for each service path by performing loopback to each path of the tributary board. There are three kinds of loopback modes: No loopback, Outloop and Inloop.

U UAT Unavailable Time. A UAT event is reported when the monitored object generates 10 consecutive severely errored seconds (SES) and the SESs begin to be included in the unavailable time. The event will end when the bit error ratio per second is better than 10-3 within 10 consecutive seconds. Report all or part of the configuration data of the NE to the NM and overwrite the configuration data saved in the NE layer on the NM side. The user of the T2000-LCT client, and the user and his/her password define the corresponding authority of operation and management of the T2000-LCT.
