Thismakes it possible to manage the "grooming" capacity at the TNT board ports (see § 4.12.1.7 –Grooming) where several cross-connections to different NT ports can be cross-connected to thesame port of a TNT board.To lock / unlock a link, select the cross-connection concerned on the E1 cross-connection screen (see§ 4.12.1.3 – Presentation of the E1 link management screen) and:To edit the name of a link, select the link in the cross-connections list (see §4.12.1.4 – Ports configuration of TNT board (BS)), then click on the button shownhere.FOR A SUBSCRIBER TO HAVE ACCESS TO TRAFFIC, THE CROSS-CONNECTION MUST BE UNLOCKED FOR CREATION OF CLIENT SERVICES.THIS OPERATION IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE TELECOMS OPERATOR.IF A PORT IS LOCKED / UNLOCKED, ALL THE CROSS-CONNECTIONSINVOLVING THIS PORT WILL BE RESPECTIVELY LOCKED/UNLOCKED– click on the icon of the toolbar shown here to lock: the administrative status of thecross-connection switches from "unlocked" to "locked".– click on the icon of the toolbar shown here to unlock: the administrative status ofthe cross-connection switches from "locked" to "unlocked".Click here to modify the link nameClick here to confirm a modification
3CC12426AAAA TQ BJA 01 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 211/3462344.12.5.6– Suppression of a leased lineNote: an unlocked cross-connection cannot be suppressed (see § 4.12.1.1 – Procedure of creation ofan E1 link (E1 cross-connection)).4.12.6– Circuit emulation (CES)Circuit emulation allows leased lines (E1, X21, T1, ISDN) to be implemented on the ATM network (andno longer TDM).It deals with the creation, in addition to the standard leased line link, of a second "cross-connection"between the TNT board and the ANT board which is linked to the ATM network. The CES processes thesignal to recreate it on the TNT board, which therefore emulates a direct "cross-connection" between theATM network and the TNT board.This operating mode notably allows a single connection cable on the BS for all types of client services.Note: a TNT board (and therefore all its ports) can operate only in a given mode: either local (TDMnetwork) or ATM..4.12.6.1– CES link creation procedureThe steps to implement a CES "cross-connection" are as follows:1. Selection of the implemented TNT board;2. Selection of the selected TNT board ports;3. Choice of the ATM link Vci on the ANT board;4. Creation of the CES link.Note: There is only one type of CES link. Indeed, there is no correlation between the TNT port type(E1, T1,ISDN and their G703, G704 (SF, ESF) configurations and the CES "cross-connection".To leave out a link: select the link in the cross-connections list (see § 4.12.1.4 – Portsconfiguration of TNT board (BS)), then click on the button shown here (in the button barof the screen).BEFORE PERFORMING CIRCUIT EMULATION, YOU MUST CONFIGURE THEINPUT / OUTPUT TYPE OF THE TNT BOARD IMPLEMENTED IN ATM MODE AND ALSO THE CHARACTERISTICS LINKED WITH SYNCHRONIZATION, USED TO RECREATE THE FRAMES ON THE TNT BOARD (SEE 4.5.3.2 –).BEFORE CREATION OF A CES LINK, ASSOCIATED TNT PORTS MUST BE LOCKED.

This could even cause other cross-connections to be re-alloca-ted (removed-created) in order to provide for enough bearer capacity in consecutive time slots ata certain GXDI E1 link.Note: A 7390 platform identifies n*64 Kbits/s transport services, not presenting any link with ISDN rela-ted resources (i.e. OWSA-channels, B channels).• One free time slot of the selected TNT port in ISDN configuration can be cross-connected to the signalling time-slot on the NT side.• It is not possible to create a B-channel ISDN cross-connection if there is not created first a signalling cross-connection.• It is possible to cross-connect up to 8 free time-slots of the selected port and up to 8 B-channels of the 4 ISDN-BA user port, but just 1 cross-connection by NT port. Then, it is pos-sible to have 4 B-channel cross-connections by port.• 2 cross-connections cannot coexist over the same NT port. So, if there is a B1 cross-con-nection and the user wants to do a B1+B2 cross-connection, he has to remove the B1 cross-connection before creating the B1+B2 cross-connection.

This is why the presentdocument offers, in this chapter, a basic knowledge to the operator of the alarm correlation.6.4.1.1 – Checking alarms for each equipment management functionThe "alarms control" functions of each board's equipment management for a given type of element areresponsible for supervision, clearing and masking of alarms for this element. Each of its functions isresponsible for notification to the SNMP agent of the starts and ends of alarms that it controls.The ANT board is in addition responsible for the processing of alarm indicators ("Critical", "Major" and"Minor" indicators).The AMD board implements an equipment management function for each of the following types ofelement:– the AMD itself– the IBS–the X-Pol RBS–the NT– the static cross-connects on the radio link.The TNT board implements an equipment management function for each of the following types ofelement:– the TNT itself– the E1-G703 port of the TNTThe NT implements an equipment management function for each of the following types of element:– the E1-G703 port of the NT– the E1-G704 port of the NT– the Ethernet port of the NTAfter stopping the BS or resetting an ANT board (deliberately or not), DO NOT forget todownload again the same software on the available package (1 or 2) without activating norreferencing it, to re-create the NFS assembly point so as the new NTs that come in thenetwork can perform automatic download.
268/346 Issue 01 - April 2001 - Draft 04 3CC12426AAAA TQ BJA 012786.4.1.2 – Terminology relating to the alarmsActive alarm: an alarm is active as soon as the start of this alarm is notified to the ANT board, andremains so as long as its end is not notifiedAnomaly: discrepancy between the intended and real characteristics of an item. An anomaly may ormay not affect the capacity of this item to carry out a required function. Several successive anomalies ofthe same type are generally considered a fault.Defect: limited interruption of the capacity of an item to carry out the required function. A defect may ormay not necessitate maintenance action.Alarm clearance: clearing an alarm initiation by notifying its end.Board alarm function: for AMD, TNT, IBS, X-Pol RBS or NT boards, the alarm function is the totality ofthe "Alarms control" functions of the elements that they manage.Alarm masking: Storage of an alarm without immediate notification of alarm initiation. Masking allowsthe seriousness of the alarms for a given element to be hierarchically ordered: masking is carried outwhen a higher order alarm appears. If on unmasking (carried out at the end of the higher order alarm)the alarm which was masked is still present, an alarm initiation must be notified.6.4.2 – Definition of 7390NE alarms6.4.2.1 – Alarms relating to boardsThe actions described are not necessarily controlled by the management software (they can becontrolled by the equipment itself).In the tables below, the term "board" may related to any part of the DBS (ANT, TNT, AMD, IBS, CPL, X-Pol RBS, PSU, Fans), or to an NT.List of the alarms relating to the boards of 7390NE:Probable cause Alarm name Definition ActionsBoard mis-singBoard_missing 1. One of the boards (AMD, ANT, TNT, IBS, CPL), already known to the agent, is physically absent from the 7390NE.2. When the alarm object is the BS, it means that a load module (i.e.: a bus adaptative board, connected at the bottom of the rack) is physically absent.3.This alarm also occurs for NT creation, when the radio link is not established with the BS.Internal NE actions: depends on the functionalities and use of this board in the 7390NE.Operator actions:1. Install the missing board (see § 6.5 –). If the board is inten-tionally withdrawn, its suppression will make the alarm disappear (see 4.5.3)2. Contact the TAC(see page 3)3. No action

The 7390 LT may itself besubject to changes.Two intervention modes may be distinguished:–remotely for modifications involving only the software configuration of the equipment, carriedout using the 7390LT software,–on site for hardware configuration modifications, possibly complemented by software configu-ration modifications.System evolution interventions, that can be carried out remotely, using simply the 7390LT softwareapplications, are as follows:– alarm filtering for NT and alarm filtering for BS,– modification of service parameters (name, flow), see § 7.3.3 – Modification of service parame-ters;– modification of the transmit power level of the X-Pol RBS, see § 7.3.4 – Change of power level(X-Pol RBS);– modification of the IP addresses of the equipment, see § 7.3.5 – Changing the IP address of theequipment;– modification of the channelling, see § 7.3.6 – Change of channelling;– modification of the channel frequency in the same sub-band, see § 7.3.11 – Change of frequen-cy in the same sub-band.–equipment upgrading, see § 7.3.12 – Upgrading the equipment.– inhibition of IP data traffic on upstream, see § 7.3.7 – Inhibition of Dynamic traffic on upstream.– desactivation of upstream, see § 7.3.8 – Desactivation of upstream.– inhibition of automatic time setting, see § 7.3.9 – Inhibition of automatic time setting .– modification of CES parameter of a TNT board, see § 7.3.9 – Inhibition of automatic time setting.System evolution requiring modification of the hardware (and possibly software) configuration to becarried out on site, is as follows:– modification of the channel frequency in another sub-band, see § 7.4.1 – Change of frequencyin a different sub-band or band;– addition of a radio sector, see § 7.4.2 – Addition of a radio sector;– addition of a network interface, see § 7.4.3 – Network interface;– updating of the 7390LT software, see § 7.4.4 – Updating the 7390LT software;– redundancy setting of the ANT board, see § 7.4.5 – Setting ANT board redundancy;– redundancy setting of a radio sector, see § 7.4.6 – Radio sector redundancy corresponding tothe addition of AMD/IBS and backup X-Pol RBS boards;– change network interface 34 Mbit/s to 155 Mbit/s, see § 7.4.3.2 – Change of a network interface(34 to 155 Mbit/s).
