Chapter 1 Introduction to GUI

1.1 Composition of GUI
The GUI refers to the graphic user interfaces. It is provided by BAM server software, client software, and emergency workstation software. The operation and maintenance system (O&M) of the MSOFTX3000 adopts client/server mode. In this mode, the BAM serves as the server. It works as a database as well as a communication channel between the host of the MSOFTX3000 and the maintenance terminals, which are clients in this mode. The BAM server:
z
The BAM manages and maintains the MSOFTX3000. It receives maintenance commands from a local or remote terminal and sends the commands to a specific host or terminal whose answering messages are processed by the BAM.
The BAM stores and transfers data regarding alarms and service measurement. It can maintain the system from multiple aspects and remote ends.
Clients:
z
Client software can be installed on the BAM server, ordinary workstations and emergency workstations. On clients, operators can perform varieties of operations.

2.2.5 Command Timeout Setting

You need to adjust timeout duration of commands based on the communication status between the client and the BAM. When a time-out occurs and the BAM returns no response, it indicates the delay between the BAM and a workstation is too long or the timeout duration is set too short. In this case, you should re-set the value of command timeout. To do that, proceed as follows: 1) Choose System (S) > Command Timeout Setting (I), the Command Timeout Setting dialogue box is displayed, as shown in Figure 2-15.
Figure 2-15 The Timeout Setting dialog box Enter a value in the MML Command Timeout(s) field.

The value range is 20600. The default value is 180. 2) Click OK.
2.2.6 Save Input Commands

During daily maintenance, you have to frequently query the status of the equipment and the network, such as the board status, the CPU usage, the signaling link status, and the gateway registration status. If you have to enter MML commands one by one to finish the maintenance task, the working efficiency is very low. To promote the working efficiency, the MSOFTX3000 LMT offers the function of saving the entered MML command (including the script), that is, you can save all or part of the entered MML command in text format in the hard disk of the workstation. If carrying out the same or similar operations later, invoke the file by executing the MML command in batch or editing the file by using Notepad.

Step
Action Double-click the M2UA Link node. The M2UA Link Message Trace dialog box displays.
On the M2UA Link Message Trace dialog box, specify parameters for creating an M2UA link message trace task.
z
z z
Parameters (including Module No. and M2UA Link No.): Specify the parameters for the trace task. Combination: Specify parameters according to a task. Time: If it is selected, it means to start a trace task according to the fixed time. You can specify the Start Time and End Time so that a trace task starts at the Start Time and ends at the End Time. If you do not select Time, it means to start a trace task immediately. Auto Save to File: If you select it, trace results are auto saved to the program installation path D:\HW LMT\client\output\main\MSOFTX3000\MSC9880MSOFTX3000V100R0 03CxxBxxx\trace\. The file name is in the format of task type + date + time.tmf.
Click OK. The command for creating a trace task is submitted to the BAM. After the task is successfully created, it will be displayed in the drop-down list of the Window menu. The trace result pane is displayed on the right of the navigation window. By now, the trace task is successfully created.
4.2.2 Checking Trace Messages

After a trace task is successfully created, the BAM sends real-time trace messages to the trace result pane. Table 4-3 shows the steps you need to follow to check trace messages. Table 4-3 Checking trace messages Step Action In the trace result pane, double-click the trace message you want to check.
A window with detailed description of the trace message displays. The window has two panes. The lower pane contains the message contents in binary format. The upper pane contains text description of the message contents.
4.2.3 Saving Trace Messages

If the fault cause cannot be found on site according to trace messages, you need to save them for further analysis. When creating a trace task, if you select Auto Save to File (See section 4.2.1 Creating a Trace Task), all trace messages will be auto saved to the path D:HW LMT\client\output\main\MSOFTX3000\MSC9880 MSOFTX3000V100R003CxxBxxx\trace. During debugging, you can save one message or one segment of a message. Table 4-4 shows the operation steps. Table 4-4 Saving trace messages Step Action In the trace result pane, right-click the message you want to save. From the shortcut menu displayed, choose Save Selected Messages. 1
Note: If you choose Save All Messages, all trace messages in the pane will be saved.
On the dialog box displayed, specify the path and name of the file to be saved. The message saving is now complete.
You can save trace messages to a file in protocol text, text, CSV, or trace message file format. By default, a trace message file (that is, a tmf file) is saved. To read a file in this format, you must use the trace viewer. When you need to send a file containing trace messages to experts to find faults, the experts cannot open the file if they do not have the trace viewer installed. In this case, you can use the Save as function of the tool to save a tmf file in protocol text, text, CSV, or trace message file format. Take saving a tmf file as a text file for example. Table 4-5 shows the operation steps. Table 4-5 Saving a tmf file as a text file Step 1 Action Start the trace viewer and open the trace file in tmf format. In the trace result pane, right-click a message or a segment of a message. From the shortcut menu displayed, choose Save Selected Messages. 2

Chapter 5 Using LMT Alarm Console

5.1 About This Chapter
As the main reference for maintenance, alarms indicate faults that occur during equipment operation. You need to confirm the alarms and solve the problems. The alarm management system monitors the equipment and sends the abnormal information to the LMT once it finds a fault. Then the alarm box generates a visual and audio alarm to notify you of the fault. Alarms of the MSOFTX3000 can be managed in one of the following ways:
z z
Using GUI: It is convenient for operations. This chapter is based on this mode. Using MML: It requires you to be very familiar with the commands related to alarm management and it is also very convenient.
5.2 Basic Concepts

5.2.1 Alarm ID
It identifies an alarm uniquely.
5.2.2 Alarm Serial No.

It is an integral number allocated to each alarm by the BAM according to the sequence by which the alarms are generated.
Note: The serial No. of a cleared alarm is the same as that of its corresponding fault alarm.
5.2.3 Alarm Type

I. Classification of Alarms
There are two types of alarms, fault alarm and event alarm.
II. Fault Alarm

A fault alarm is generated due to failure of hardware or important functions, and it must be cleared. Usually, fault alarms are more severe than event alarms.
III. Event Alarm

An event alarm is generated to indicate an event in the MSOFTX3000. It is an accidental event and a momentary state during the operation of the MSOFTX3000. Event alarms do not need clearing.
5.2.4 Alarm Severity

There are four levels of alarms, classified by severity. Each identifies a different level of impact on service.
z z z z
Critical alarms Major alarms Minor alarms Warning alarms
The descriptions of different alarm severities and handling modes are listed in Table 5-1. Table 5-1 Descriptions of alarm severities and handling modes Alarm Severity Description It refers to a fault alarm or an event alarm that has a global influence and will disable the host, such as the WSMU fault and WCKI fault. It refers to a fault alarm or an event alarm that happens to boards or circuits, such as the MTP link fault. It refers to a fault alarm or an event alarm that shows whether a board or circuit is working well, such as the fault that the MSC resets the BSC. It refers to a fault alarm or an event alarm that prompts an event, such as blocking of the BSC circuit. Handling mode
Critical alarm
It must be processed right away. Otherwise, the system will break down.
Major alarm
It must be processed quickly. Otherwise, some important functions will be unavailable.
Minor alarm
Find out the reason and eliminate the hidden trouble as soon as possible.
Warning alarm
Get knowledge of the running state of the system and handle the problems accordingly.
5.2.5 Alarm Category by Network Management Standards

There are 10 categories of alarm systems according to the network management standards:
z
Power alarm system: Generates alarms about power.

z
Environment

Backing up data refers to backing up data which is extremely important for the running of the system. All configuration data is stored in the BAM database. Therefore, periodic backup of the data is very important. Data in the BAM database and the BAM registry is the most important data to be backed up. The following are two methods to back up the data:
z z
Automatic backup Manual backup
6.4.1 Automatic Backup

At 4:30 in every morning (default time), the system automatically backs up the BAM database and the BAM registry in the F:\MSOFTX3000 path by default. The following requirements must be satisfied for backup of the BAM database and the BAM registry.
Caution:
z z
Ensure that there is enough space in disk F. At least 22 free clean mediums (22 writable and erasable CDs or 22 tapes) must be prepared for backup, in which 6 mediums are used for storing data generated from Monday to Saturday in a week (daily backup); 4 for storing data generated on the latest four Sundays (weekly backup); 12 for storing data generated on the first day of each month in a year (monthly backup).
I. Automatic Backup of the BAM Database

At most the latest 11 files in the BAM databases can be backed up automatically. The backup files of the BAM database include the following:
z
Six backup files, named BamYYYYMMDD.dat, for storing data of the latest continual six days Four backup files, named BamYYYYMMDD.dat, for storing data of the latest four Sundays within 28 days

z
Twelve backup files, named BamMonthBak.dat, for storing data of the first day of a month
II. Automatic Backup of the BAM Registry

Only a latest backup file, named RegYYYYMMDD.dat, is kept when the system automatically saves the BAM registry information in the Window2000 system registry.
Note: You can reset the start time for backing up the BAM database and the BAM registry with the command MOD SUBTSK.
6.4.2 Manual Backup

Before expansion, upgrade and loading, the BAM database and the BAM registry table must be manually backed up. The following are two methods for manual backup:
