3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 77/3021824 7390 LT software overview4.1 General informationThe purpose of this chapter is to present the different screens of the 7390 LT software supplied withthe Base Station. The following chapters will make reference to this presentation each time the userneeds to access the software for a particular action (commissioning, maintenance or evolution of theconfiguration). The same screen may apply for several types of action.4.1.1 FunctionalitiesThe 7390 LT software enables:–supervision of both the system assembly as a whole (the NE (Network Element)), and of its sub-assemblies (BS, NT);–configuration of the sub-assemblies (DBS, RBS, etc.) (used when Commissioning, Chapter 5Commissioning the Base Station (7390BS));–setting up services (E1 leased lines, T1 and X21, ISDN, IP cross-connection including VoIP, circuitemulation), (used when Commissioning, Chapter 6 Operation and maintenance);–downloading, NE configuration back-up and restoration (used in Maintenance, Chapter 6 Opera-tion and maintenance);–display of the system redundancy state;–management of external points.–radio performances.Note: the 7390 LT software exchanges no information with the radio part of the terminal station (7390RT). These generate no alarms, and therefore require no other configuration apart from the ins-tallation configuration.4.1.2 Principles of the Man-Machine Interface (MMI) of the 7390 LTThe user of the 7390 LT software is expected to be familiar with the operation of software in theWindows NTMT environment. There follows a description of some of the basic principles of theWindows NTMT MMI along with others, more specific to the 7390 LT.4.1.2.1 Opening, closing and resizing a windowHere is a reminder of how the boxes at the top right of an active window are used:Click on... To.........minimize the active window to place the application on the taskbar.Click on the taskbar icon to restore the window....maximize the window to full-screen size....restore a window which was in full-screen size to its original size....close the active window.

3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 87/3021824.4 Supervision PrinciplesThe 7390 LT can be used for supervising the whole A7390 Network Element (NE) system.The NE comprises of:–a Base Station (7390BS) which mainly includes a Radio unit (RBS) and a MODEM rack (DBS),–one or more Terminal Stations (7390TS) which mainly include a Radio unit (RT) and a User con-nection unit (NT). Nevertheless the 7390 LT software does not manage RT units.The display allows system control; alarms are activated in particular to signify any intervention.The supervision items themselves are,by definition, grayed out and therefore unmodifiable, whereasthose reserved for configuration can be configured by the user: they will be used in the followingchapters concerning commissioning (Chapter 5 Commissioning the Base Station (7390BS)),maintenance (Chapter 6 Operation and maintenance) and configuration evolution (Chapter 7 Changesof configuration). For the modifications to be taken into account, writing should be enabled: see §4.4.2 Local access requests.4.4.1 Data retrievalAccording to the same principle as for starting up the 7390 LT (automatic data retrieval followingconnection), this update can be carried either for whole NE, or for each equipment: BS or NT.To reach the Data retrieval function, two ways are possible:Note: These operations may take quite a long time (in particular for the NE) since they depend on theconnection between NE and manager and on the round trip delay and the NE composition.4.4.2 Local access requestsThe general status bar (cf. § 4.1.2.6 Title, menu, button and status message bars) displays in its centralpart the messages concerning write access rights on the NT configuration: "Local Access : Denied /granted". Where there are different system managers, these access rights are allocated by the OSmanager, write access is authorized for the 7390 LT (local access set to granted) when no OS manageris connected to the NE (local access set to granted) when no OS manager is connected to the NE.4.4.3 Administrative statusesLocking the administrative status of sub-assemblies allows the maintenance operator to disable thesub-assembly manifesting an anomaly without disturbing the system.Unlocking sub-assembly administrative status frees service use for the end user.Operator is not able to modify the administrative state assembly. He can only change the ports andcross-connections.–open the Database pull-down menu and choose the first item: NE MIBUpload,–or click on one of the buttons in the screen of the equipment in question:Click on...... To.........activate the data recovery function for the NE, BS, and NT respectively.
88/302 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 011824.5 Base Station SupervisionWhen the LT is started up for the first time, the Manager has to define the type of polarization used, inthis «Co-polarization» type must be selected AFTER CLICKING ON THE «APPLY» BUTTON, A WARNING WINDOW WILL APPEAR SINCE THIS PROGRESS IS IRREVERSIBLE, EXCEPT THROUGH AN ANT RAM-REINITIALIZATION.

3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 89/3021824.5.1 Base Station SupervisionTo Start or Stop the supervision of the Base Station:BS supervised means that the agent sends to the manager all the events related to the Base station.When the BS is supervised the «Start BS Supervision» button is disabled.When the BS is not supervised the «Stop BS Supervision» button is disabled and a red message inthe status bar indicates to the operator that the equipment is not supervised. Besides, not supervisedstatus implies that no action can be performed on the BS from the LT manager. Therefore, if the BS isnot supervised then no alarm is sent to the BS element. So, not supervision state implies alarms notallowed (the «Allow BS Alarms» button is disabled).To Allow or Inhibit the alarms of the Base Station:BS Alarms allowed means that all the alarms present in the BS equipment will be reported to the LTmanager.When the BS alarms are allowed, the «Allow BS Alarms» button is disabled.When the BS alarms are inhibited, the «Inhibit BS alarms» button is disabled. Moreover, all the statusled boards in the BS appears in grey colour to indicate that it is unknown if the boards have or do nothave alarms present.Click on the icon to start the supervision of the Base Station.Click on the icon to stop the supervision of the Base Station.Click on this icon to allow receiving the alarms of the Base Station.Click on this icon to inhibit receiving the alarms of the Base Station.

98/302 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 011824.5.4 Clock synchronization parametersThere is one default synchronization source (internal oscillator) and six configurable sources: ATM,external clock and the four TNT boards. The TNT boards have 16 ports and 4 can be used assynchronization ports: these are ports 1, 5, 9 and 13.–Priority principle:•the order of priority numbers take precedence, followed by the channel numbers, in in-creasing order of appearance.•an order number must be single (one specific number per sub-assembly).•Order number one is for the highest level of priority.Note: Two sources cannot be assigned the same order of priority (the «Apply» button is not available).Note: In the screen shown in the above example, the warning message under TNT card N°2 is dis-played because the type of input for the TNT 2 card has been set to ATM (see § 4.5.3.2 TNTboard screen), this board is thus in Circuit Emulation mode.To access the synchronization parameters, click on the button shown here (in the buttonbar of the BS Details screen).This involves defining the setup rules for the synchronization sources used.

That means for one active entity, there is one stand-by entity and when the activeentity has failed, the switch over to the stand-by entity provokes a temporary service cut.Redundancy applies to the management part (ANT board) and to the radio part (radio links) of thesystem.4.5.8.2 Access to redundancy state displayThe screen below is displayed: Note: The place of the boards into the DBS is directly linked to their role in redundancy (see § 4.5.8.3Board and location in the cabinet according to their role in redundancy).Note: The disponibility state on line corresponds to an active entity.To access consultation of the system redundancy state, click on the icon shown here,that is in the button bar of the BS Details screen (§ 4.5 Base Station Supervision).Operational state of the entities (enable / disable) See § 4.5.3.1 (ANT)Availability state of the entity (on line / off duty / failed / not installed)Click here on the first tab to display the redundancy state of the first radio link (up to 4 radio links) Operational state of the entities (enable / disable): see § 4.5.3.3 (AMD), 4.5.3.5 (IBS) and 4.5.7 (RBS) Redundancy on the radio partSet of radio link: AMD board + IBS board + radioClick here to close this consultation window and return to the BS Details screen Symbol of the active entityRedundancy on the management part (ANT board)
102/302 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01182Comments on radio link 2 as shown in the previous example:Radio link 2 initially consists of the AMD 2 (slot 8), IBS 2 (slot 18) and RBS 2 triplet.The redundancy capability of radio link 2 comes with the installation of the AMD 6 (slot 12), IBS 6 (slot22) and RBS 6 triplet.The BS Details screen (§ 4.5 Base Station Supervision) allows the boards inserted in the cabinet andassociated RBSs to be displayed, and also their role in redundancy. The operating entities may also bedisplayed with the operation symbol (double-arrow).In the example, the AMD 2 card has been removed; it is thus reported as a critical alarm (red) (see §4.10.1 Alarms). Triplet 1 is no longer operational: consequently, switch-over was to triplet 2, this isconfirmed by the presence of the operation symbol on AMD 6 and IBS 6 cards and on RBS 6.This information is grouped on the Redundancy screen (§ 4.5.8.2 Access to redundancy state display):–operational state of the AMD2 card reported "disabled", (card withdrawn)–availability of triplet 2= "Not installed",–availability of triplet 6= "On line" with operation symbol present.Conclusion: radio link 2 is available and operating via triplet 6.

3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 113/3021824.7.3 On-demand Service management4.7.3.1 IntroductionRadio resources management consists of distributing system resources, for each upstream anddownstream channel of each radio link, according to customer services to be created.Customer services are available according to two types of radio traffic: dynamic (dynamic IP) and static(leased lines, static IP).The bit rate available for each radio channel is given by the bandwidth defined in the RadioConfiguration screen (see § 4.7.1 Radio configuration).Radio resources management is carried out according to two operating principles (that can be jointlyimplemented): system self-management (default configuration) and pre-configuration (carried out bythe operator).–System self-management:In this case, the system automatically manages the radio part according to the following princi-ples:;•by default, overbooking limit is 1. That means no overbooking is allowed.•CAG = Guaranteed MCR.•RRM Devices Enabled = Policing.Note: Circuit emulation always requires a leased line. Radio resources are implicitly dedicated to circuitemulation via the leased line.4.7.3.2 Access to the radio pre-configurationSTATIC SERVICES CONFIGURATION MAY CAUSE DYNAMIC IPSERVICES TO BE SHUT DOWNTo access on-demand services management and proceed with radio pre-configuration, click on the button shown here (in the button bar of the BS Detailsscreen).

3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 115/302182–Upstream channelsCall Admission Control Strategy:–Guaranteed MCR, allows the CAC to deny connection to an RRM port if the current sum of theconnected RRM ports does not allow to accept the new RRM port without exceeding the dynamicresources.Degraded MCR allowed:–allows the CAC to accept every connection request. In this case, congestion event may happenand the RRM scheduler will need to degrade the MCR contract parameter of each connectedRRM port, up to its "maximum degraded MCR".4.7.4 Bandwidth allocationThe 7390LT offers the capacity to display radio resources reserved for traffic and therefore potentiallyavailable to create customer services.Nota : The system always runs in self management mode, but pre-configuration is possible to avoidshutdown during static service creation; thus the system automatically returns to self manage-ment mode if the capabilities are exceededTHE RADIO RESOURCES DISPLAYED CORRESPOND TO BANDWIDTH ALLOCATION AND NOT TO THE CURRENT TRAFFIC ONTHE SERVICES CREATED.To view reserved radio resources, click on the button shown here (BS Details screentoolbar).
116/302 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01182Meaning of the colors used to show the different parts of the bandwidth:The blue zone represents the bit rate allocated to leased lines (LL) type services.The yellow zone represents the bit rate allocated to static IP (IPstat) type services.The light grey zone represents the proportion of bit rate still available to create new static services(FreeS) without disturbing the dynamic zone.The dark grey zone represents the proportion of bit rate still available to create new dynamic services(FreeD).The green zone represents the bit rate allocated to the dynamic IP (IPdyn) type services, as thephysical limit of the system reserved to the dynamic services has not been reached (OF<1).Once the bandwidth is filled, (maximum bit rate authorized by the system’s physical limits), the zone isdisplayed in orange to warn the operator of the risk of dynamic service unavailability.When the bit rate allocated to the dynamic services exceeds the booking factor limit (OFL), the zonechanges to red.The whole bandwidth is represented on a scale from 0 to 100%.It is divided into three zones: the static LL zone, the static IP zone and the dynamic IP zone.The static zone represents the portion of the bandwith allocated to static services, with display of bothbit rate types: leased line (LL) and static IP (ATM) bit rate.The dynamic zone represents the portion of the bandwidth allocated to the dynamic services: thedynamic IP services.IF THE ZONE IS ORANGE, CHECK THAT SIZE OF THE REMAINING DYNAMICZONE IS GREATER THAN THE LARGER DYNAMIC CROSS-CONNECTIONIF IT’S NOT THE CASE THIS CONNECTION WILL BE UNAVAILABLE.Click on these tabs to display the radio resources of the other channels
3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 117/302182Note : The available bit rate depends on the traffic type allocated: leased lines, static or dynamic IP.Note : The dynamic zone is the zone remaining available, corresponding to the total bandwidth minusthe static zone; the static zone corresponds to the static IP service bit rate.The overbooking factor limit (OFL) is a value defined by the operator (until 10 as maximum) and canbe modified at any time depending on radio resource requirements: if the operator wishes to offer moreservices than the system can physically provide simultaneously on the available bandwidth, he definesthis value which will represent a risk level of dynamic degraded service.Note : When OFL = 1 (default value), it corresponds to the system physical limit assigned to the dyna-mic zone (= width of bandwidth).If OFL = 2, double the dynamic zone physical bandwidth can be used for dynamic IP services.IP traffic is measured according to «ATM» Rate = 66.5 Kbps, whereas LL is measured with rate = 64 KbpsOverbooking limitCurrent overbooking (orange zone): < 1 means that there is no overbooking
118/302 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 3CC12424AAAA TQ BJA 01182When the dynamic traffic (green color) is overbooked, green is changed to orange (see next screen).4.8 NE managementAs soon as the 7390LT is connected to the NE, it keeps a log of all the events taking place between theAgent (NE) and the Manager (7390 LT) for the corresponding part of the supervised NE.
