Getting started Operating Manual (OMN)
2 Getting started
This chapter provides basic information to start working with the Local Craft Terminal
(LCT). It also describes how to establish a connection to the Network Element (NE).
2.1 Working with the GUI

This sub-chapter provides general operating information for the Graphical User Inter-
face (GUI), which is Microsoft Windows based.
2.1.1 Using the mouse

Both the left and the right mouse button are used when working with the GUI. The left
mouse button may be used for the following actions:
• Select a function using the features available in a window (buttons, selection menus
etc.)
• Select a menu item
• Select a toolbar button
• Confirm an action (e.g., Apply)
• Double-click an item in a list to open the corresponding window
The right mouse button may be used to select a specific object in a window, and open
the corresponding context menu.
A great number of operations can only be invoked via context menus. The context menu
displays a selection of menu items which are relevant for the selected object in the given
situation.
The available menus, context menus and menu items depend on the user’s access
rights. The unavailable context menus or menu items, appear dimmed.
g Unless the text states otherwise, always use the left mouse button for clicking and
double-clicking.
2.1.2 Using the keyboard

Since the user interface is driven by context menus it is not advised to operate without
a mouse. Therefore, this manual refers to mouse control, i.e., it is presumed that the
user usually works with a mouse.
However, it is possible to use the keyboard to open the main menu or execute the
toolbar items. Hold down the <Alt> key and press the underlined letters to open the cor-
responding menu or execute the toolbar item. After opening a menu, select the under-
lined letter for the desired menu item or use the arrow keys to navigate through the
menus/submenus.
It is also possible to use the keyboard to perform the standard operations. Table 4
describes a selection of standard keyboard operations that are supported.

External interfaces Operating Manual (OMN)
3 External interfaces
This chapter provides an overview of non-optical external interfaces of an NE. It also
describes how these interfaces can be used and configured via the LCT.
3.1 Configuring MDI/MDO

The MDI/MDO interfaces are located on the SI-E card.
The MDI/MDO provides the following signals:
• 8 MDI: Usually configured to activate upon the occurrence of particular events at the
site, e.g., fire alarm, over-temperature alarm, door-open alarm, etc.
• 8 MDO: Normally employed to provide remote control of various devices at the site.
The MDI/MDO are connected via an Ethernet cable to the RJ 45 connectors on the SI-
E card. The other end of the cable is ready for wire-wrapped connections for the devices
to be monitored/controlled by the MDI/MDO to the proper connector pins.
For detailed information of pin designation of MDI/MDO connectors and cables, refer to
the SURPASS hiT 7080 Interconnect, Configuration and Mechanical Assembly (ICMA).

Operating Manual (OMN) Operation tasks
4 Operation tasks
This chapter provides task descriptions and additional information within the scope of
operating the SURPASS hiT 7080 system.
4.1 Performance management

The following sub-chapters describe performance management tasks.
The Performance Monitoring (PM) and signal quality analysis provide information to
detect and alert a potential problem that could lead to degraded performance before a
failure is declared.
Performance management provides the following monitoring functions for the SDH
cards:
• PM (processing and reporting) of parameters.
• Inquiry of current and historical values of the parameters.
• Supervision of parameter thresholds.
For the Ethernet cards, performance management only provides the first two monitoring
functions.
The performance parameters are monitored as follows:
• Current and previous values: 15 minute period and 24 hour period
• Historical values: 16 records for 15 minute periods, 1 record for 24 hour period
For Ethernet performance monitoring, 5-second current data is also supported.
The monitoring functions are accessed and configured via the LCT.
Performance monitoring parameters

Depending on the supported protocols of the transponder, the following performance
monitoring parameters are supported:
• SDH: supports the following regenerator section and multiplex section performance
parameters, counted according to G.829:
– Background Block Error (BBE)
– Consecutive Severely Errored Second (CSES)
– Errored Second (ES)
– Out of Frame Second (OFS)
– Point Justification Count Negative (PJCN)
– Point Justification Count Positive (PJCP)
– Severely Errored Second (SES)
– Unavailable Second (UAS)
No far-end PM parameters are defined for the SDH Regenerator Section.
• Ethernet performance monitoring supports the following parameters:
– Received Total Byte
– Received Total/Good/Bad/Unicast/Multicast/Broadcast/Fragment Packet
– Received Dropped/Undersize/Oversize Good Packet
– Receive Good Pause Packet
– Received 64 byte/65-127 byte/128-255 byte/256-511 byte/512-1023 byte/1024-
1518 byte Packet
– Transmit Total Byte
– Transmit Total/Unicast/Multicast/Broadcast Packet
A42022-L5977-A053-01-7619 33
Operation tasks Operating Manual (OMN)
– Transmit Good Pause Packet
Impact of other settings on performance management

Besides the specific performance management settings, the following settings must be
considered since they also affect PM:
• Operational state: if the operational state of a shelf/card/port is different from
Enabled, all corresponding 15-minute and 24-hour PM processing is stopped:
– the current 15 minutes values are cleared;
– the current 24 hours values are not cleared but are frozen;
– no action is done on previous or historical data.
After switching the operational state to Enabled the PM processing will re-start auto-
matically.
• NE time: if the internal time of the NE is modified by the Network Time Protocol
(NTP) or manually, the 15 minutes/24 hours periods are adjusted with the new time,
i.e., the length of the period becomes shorter or longer. In case the NE time is
changed, the current 15-minute and 24-hour performance data will always be con-
sistent with each other.
• Deleting an object: if a monitored object is deleted, its complete 15-minute and 24-
hour PM processing is stopped immediately. The corresponding history data files
remain in the database.
• Card rebooting: if a card or the system is performing warm reboot or cold reboot, the
performance monitoring registers will be reset to zero. After the reboot, the perfor-
mance monitoring will be resumed.
• The performance monitoring for a TP can be suspended (called as Non-monitor) or
resumed (called as Monitor). The default mode is Non-monitor.

4.5.8 Managing Link Aggregation Group

Link Aggregation or Port Trunk is a method of combining physical network links into a
single logical link for increasing bandwidth. With Link Aggregation the system can
increase the capacity and availability of the communications channel between devices
(both switches and end stations) using Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet. A set of
parallel physical links between devices is grouped together called an aggregated link.
The aggregated links also provide redundancy and fault tolerance if each of the aggre-
gated links follows a different physical path.

4.5.9 Managing GARP VLAN Registration Protocol

There are two kinds of VLAN membership configuration:
1. Static configuration of VLAN membership information via Management mecha-
nisms, which allow configuration of Static VLAN Registration Entries.
2. Dynamic configuration and distribution of VLAN membership information by means
of the GVRP. GVRP is a specific instance of GARP, thus the protocol processing for
GVRP is based on the GARP.
The purpose of the GARP is to provide a generic framework where devices are in a
bridged LAN. For a bridged LAN, the active topology is normally that created and main-
A42022-L5977-A053-01-7619 63
tained by the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). The VLAN register/deregister and VLAN
declare/withdraw procedures are controlled by the GVRP State Machine.
There are several concepts that need to be illustrated first:
• Registrar: The Registrar has a single timer, the leave timer, and three states.
• Join timer: The Join Period Timer controls the interval between transmit Packet
Data Unit (PDU) events that are applied to the Applicant State Machine.
• Leave timer: The Leave Period Timer controls the period of time that the Registrar
State Machine waits in the LV state before transiting to the MT state. An instance of
the timer is required for each state machine that is in the LV state. The Leave Period
Timer is set to the Leave Time value when it is started or restarted.
• Leave all timer: The Leave All Period Timer controls the frequency with which the
Leave All state machine generates Leave All PDUs.
To configure the GVRP, complete the following steps:
1 In the LCT chassis view, right-click a Layer 2 Ethernet card and select the GVRP
Management menu item from the context menu.
The “GVRP Management” window is opened.
Bridge Address: Enter a MAC address.

Join Timer (ms): Click the spin box to adjust the join timer.

• filter mode: When the data enters a port, its destination MAC address and VLAN
ID are checked in databases to see which port can lead to its destination. In the
filter mode, the frame will be dropped if the destination address belongs to the
local port. If the destination address is not found in the address database, the
frame is broadcasted to all ports belonging to the same VLAN except the
incoming port.
• forward mode: When the data enters a port, its destination port MAC address
and VLAN ID will be checked. If both of them are found, the frame is forwarded
to the port and queued for output.
Select the desired ACL mode and click Apply to confirm the setting.

4.5.13 Managing Internet Group Management Protocol Snooping

A Layer 2 switch supporting Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) snooping can
passively snoop on IGMP Query, Report, and Leave packets transferred between IP
Multicast Routers/Switches and IP Multicast hosts to learn the IP Multicast group mem-
bership. It checks IGMP packets passing through it, picks out the group registration
information, and configures multicasting accordingly. Without IGMP snooping, multicast
traffic is treated in the same manner as broadcast traffic, that is, it is forwarded to all
ports. With IGMP snooping, multicast traffic of a group is only forwarded to ports that
have members of that group. IGMP Snooping generates no additional network traffic
and therefore significantly reduces multicast traffic passing through the switch.
To configure IGMP, complete the following steps:
66 A42022-L5977-A053-01-7619
1 In the LCT chassis view, right-click a Layer 2 Ethernet card and select the IGMP
Snooping menu item from the context menu.

aging time should be between 100 s to 2000 s.
The IGMP Snooping is now configured.
4.5.14 Configuring Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol

If there is only one VLAN in the network, a single STP works appropriately. If the network
contains more than one VLAN, the logical network configured by a single STP would
work, but it is possible to make better use of the redundant links available by using an
alternate spanning tree for different (groups of) VLANs. Multiple regions and other STP
bridges are interconnected using one single Common Spanning Tree (CST) regardless
of the number of VLANs. The idea is that several VLANs can be mapped to a reduced
number of spanning tree instances because most networks do not need more than a few
logical topologies. The Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) enables VLANs to be
grouped into MST Instances (MSTI), with each instance having a spanning tree topology
independent of other spanning tree instances. This architecture provides multiple for-
warding paths for data traffic, enables load balancing, and reduces the number of
spanning tree instances required to support a large number of VLANs. A collection of
interconnected switches that have the same MST configuration comprises an MST
region. The configuration of MST controls which MST region each switch belongs to.
The configuration includes the name of the region, the revision number, and the MST
VLAN-to-instance assignment map.
Configuring CIST

This chapter provides task description and additional information within the scope of
administrating the SURPASS hiT 7080 system.
6.1 Data Communication Network management

The DCN system implements a TCP/IP based inter-NE communication system. It
provides an embedded network communication infrastructure for the MSTP system’s
management system. It is an embedded sub-network of SDH network, which is indepen-
dent to the service traffic carried by SDH.
Figure 6 DCN structure

In Layer 2, PPP and MP are used.
PPP provides a standard method for transporting MP datagrams over point-to-point
links. PPP is comprised of three main components.
1. A method for encapsulating MP datagrams.
2. A Link Control Protocol (LCP) for establishing, configuring and testing the data link
connection.
3. A family of Network Control Protocols (NCPs) for establishing and configuring differ-
ent network layer protocols.
Multi-link PPP supports the ability to extend the bandwidth between two NEs by allow-
ingmultiple parallel point-to-point links to be bundled together into a single virtual high-
bandwidth pipe, which increases the effective bandwidth between the NEs and reduces
the latency.
In Layer 3, OSPF protocol is used. OSPF is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) used to
distribute routing information within a single Autonomous System (AS). The Regenera-
tor Section (RS) bytes D1, D2, D3, and the Multiplex Section (MS) bytes D4, D5, D6 to

Operating Manual (OMN) Administration tasks
D12 are standard Layer 1 DCC in SDH frame structure. High Capacity Overhead
Channel (HCOC) bytes 9/27 are also used in this product.
6.1.1 Configuring NE IP and Ethernet IP

Each NE has two types IP addresses:
• NE IP: which is assigned to all DCC interfaces.
• Ethernet IP: which is assigned to manage the Ethernet interface.
In the network, four related parameters are defined:
• NE IP address: also named as Node IP address.
– It is used as the global unique IP address of an NE, which represents the NE and
can be accessed by the LCT through DCC network.
– A virtual DCC interface IP address. All PPP interfaces will share this IP address.
• Ethernet IP address:
– Used to communicate with LAN attached network devices.
– The management interface IP address.
• Ethernet IP subnet mask: The Ethernet management interface IP subnet mask.
• NE gateway: It is the IP address of the router interface which is used for the default
NE routing.
Modifying NE IP address

6.1.2 Configuring NE trap destination

The SNMP is an application layer protocol that facilities the exchange of management
information between network devices. It enables network administrators to manage
network performance, find and solve network problems, and plan for network growth.
SNMP traps enable an agent to notify the management station of significant events by
way of an unsolicited SNMP message.
The NE trap destination in the SURPASS hiT 7080 network allows the system adminis-
tration client to communicate with the NEs.

6.1.5 Configuring OSPF

In OSPF there are several concepts that need to be introduced first.
1. Link State Algorithm (LSA) and Shortest Path Algorithm (SPA): OSPF uses the Link
State to describe the whole network. The state of the link is a description of that inter-
face and of its relationship to its neighboring routers. A description of the interface
includes, for example, the IP address of the interface, the mask, the type of network
it is connected to, the routers connected to the network and so on. The collection of
all these link states forms a link state database.
2. Areas, Area Border Routers (ABR) and Autonomous System Border Routers
(ASBR): OSPF introduces the areas concept to avoid link state packets flooding in
A42022-L5977-A053-01-7619 81
all networks. Routers, which belong to different areas are called ABRs, act as a
gateway between OSPF and other routing protocols or other autonomous system
are ASBRs.
3. Neighbors and adjacencies: Before a router accepts any routing information from
other OSPF routes, they have to build an adjacency on their interfaces between the
routers. When the adjacency is built, the two routers are called neighbors. Neighbor
is a special relationship between the two routers. The two routers which are neigh-
bors should have the same parameters such as: area ID and type, hello, and dead
interval.
g Only when the DCC Mode is Normal and the DCC Protocol is PPP or IP over
OSI(OSI Tunnel) for the corresponding card, then the OSPF settings are available
to be modified.

interface for configuration. The GRE Tunnel feature enables network elements to trans-
port CLNS traffic over an IP network. A CLNS over IP enhances interactions with IP net-
A42022-L5977-A053-01-7619 85
works, allowing ESIS protocol packets in GRE encapsulation to be tunneled through the
IP address to connect the CLNS based networks over an IP overlay network.
The GRE tunnel includes two types of tunnels. One is IP over OSI tunnel and the other
is IP over IP tunnel.
g Only when the DCC Mode is Normal and the DCC Protocol is OSI over IP(GRE
Tunnel) of the corresponding card, will the GRE settings be available to be modified.

6.1.8 Configuring IP route

A route entry is used for IP packet forwarding, with an interface and gateway to use in a
packet/destination address, based on the next hop. The primary purpose of the route
table is to define routes from temporary or permanent gateway NEs to routers, TNMS
systems, or File Transfer Protocol (FTP) servers in the customer IP network:
• Static routes must be manually created from a permanent gateway NE when the
customer IP network has a router between the DCN and the TNMS system. Other-
wise,no static route is necessary (i.e., the TNMS system and the permanent
gateway NE are in the same IP network).
• When accessing a specific NE in the DCN via a gateway NE (permanent or tempo-
rary), a route entry to the TNMS system/LCT (destination) is automatically created
in the specific NE via that gateway NE (next hop).
• Route entries can also be used for reaching SNMP trap receivers via a permanent
gateway NE.

6.2.6 Managing synchronization

Synchronization information is transmitted through the network via synchronization
network connections. These synchronization network connections are in different syn-
chronization levels. Each synchronization network connection is provided by one or
more synchronization link connections, each supported by a synchronized primary or
secondary rate of SDH multiplex section trail. The timing references are those that have
been selected from the clock source as candidates for the basis of the system timing.
These references are prioritized and monitored on their quality, and they take part in the
synchronization switching procedure.
There are three Quality Levels (QL) of synchronization clocks defined by ITU-T. They
are listed below from the highest level to the lowest level.
• Primary Reference Clock (PRC): It is using single clock frequency supplied by the
clock signal source to operate all NEs in the SDH network. It has the highest level
priority.
• Enhanced Synchronization Supply Unit (SSU): It has the second level priority.
• SDH Equipment Clock (SEC): It has the lowest level priority.
The synchronization management includes four parts:
Modifying timing source reference properties
Configuring global settings
Modifying the station clock settings
Modifying the system clock settings

• Modifying the system clock settings

The NE's clock circuit can be used as an independent clock source. There are three
modes for this operation:
– Normal mode: This mode is synchronized with external timing input or SDH Line
timing. The system traces the timing reference source from one of the reference
sources.
– Holdover mode: When the clock circuit operates in a slave mode, all parameters,
such as frequency, phase etc., are memorized. When the circuit loses the refer-
ence source, for example by line failure, the stored data are used for continuous
and seamless operation. Thus, transmission disturbances caused by abrupt
change of frequency and phase can be avoided.
– Free running mode: The internal clock which runs without a reference source will
be used when no reference source is available.
To modify the system clock settings, complete the following steps:
