Tellabs 6300 Network Manager 1 Getting Started with the Craft Terminal
1 Getting Started with the Craft Terminal
Overview This introduces you to the Tellabs 6300 Craft Terminal and Tellabs 6300 Ex-
tended Craft Terminal. It gives some background information about the Tel-
labs NM2100 Craft Terminal, Tellabs 6300 Craft Terminal, and Tellabs 6300
Extended Craft Terminal. It also describes how to physically connect a Tellabs
6300 Craft Terminal to an NE. The following is discussed:
1.1 What is a Craft Terminal? on page 15
1.2 User Access with the Craft Terminal on page 19
1.3 Configuring a PPP Connection on page 21
1.4 Viewing which Version of Craft Terminal Software your Computer is
Running on page 63
1.1 What is a Craft Terminal?
The difference between Tellabs 6300 Craft Terminal is composed of both the Tellabs NM2100 Craft
craft terminal and Terminal software and the Tellabs 6300 Craft Terminal software, which run on
network manager a PC or laptop computer. The craft terminal connects directly to a network el-
ement (NE) in a network, and it is typically used to configure the NE that it is
connected to. You can also use the craft terminal to communicate remotely
with other NEs in a network by specifying the NSAP address of the NE in
question.
MA336 Rev. O1 15
The figure illustrates the difference between a craft terminal and a network
manager, as they relate to the individual network elements in the network.
The craft terminal connects directly to one of the NEs and regards that NE as
the local NE while all of the other NEs in the network are remote NEs. To
the network manager, all NEs in the network are equal (that is, they are all re-
mote).
Note: When you connect to an NE with a craft terminal, tell the Network
Management users that a craft terminal is connected and active, be-
cause the craft terminal overrides configurations that come from the
Network Management.
Tellabs 6300 Extended The Tellabs 6300 Extended Craft Terminal lets you manage multiple NEs at
Craft Terminal the same time. It helps manage small networks, with a maximum of 50 NEs.
While the Tellabs 6300 Craft Terminal connects directly to NEs with a man-

1.2 User Access with the Craft Terminal
Overview It is possible for the system administrator of the Tellabs 6300 management sys-
tem to restrict the amount of access the individual user has to the NE when
using the craft terminal. The system administrator gives each user an access
level setting, which requires password access. These issues are described in
the topics listed below:
1.2.1 Providing Security in the Craft Terminal on page 19
1.2.2 Changing the User Password on page 20
1.2.1 Providing Security in the Craft Terminal
Built-in Security Each craft terminal installation comes with a built-in security function. This
security function can be either active or inactive. The decision about whether
MA336 Rev. O1 19
this security function is active or inactive must be made when the craft termi-
nal software is installed.
Note: If the craft terminal security function is not active but is required at a
later time, then it is necessary to install the craft terminal software
again.
The craft terminal security enables the system administrator to give the users
one of 3 different access levels. These access levels determine what the user
can actually access within the craft terminal application.
When the craft terminal security is active, each user must log in using a user
name and password.
Craft terminal user When the craft terminal security is active, each user is given an access control
access (AC) level. This access control level determines which parts of the craft termi-
nal application the user can access. The access control levels are:
Access Control Level Description
Administrator Users with this AC level have access to all win-

dows in the craft terminal application. In addi-
tion to this, they are also able to create new users,
edit access levels for existing users and remove
users using the User Manager window. User man-
agement is described in [17].
Manager Users with this AC level have access to all win-

dows in the craft terminal application.
Guest Users with this AC level have read-only access to

certain windows in the craft terminal application.
Note: Users with this AC level cannot start the
NM2100CT application.
1.2.2 Changing the User Password
To change your When the craft terminal security function is enabled, you must type in your
password to log in to the user name and password each time you start the craft terminal. This user
craft terminal
20 MA336 Rev. O1
name and password is for the T6300NM system and not for the PC. This pro-
cedure describes how to change your own password.
Step Action
1 Depending on which application you are using, do one of the follow-

ing:
Select Start Tellabs Extended Craft Terminal Change Password.
Select Start Tellabs Craft Terminal Change Password.
The Change Password window appears.
2 Use the following steps to change your password:

a) Type in your user name in the User Name field.
b) Type in current password in the Old Password field.
c) Type in the new password you want to use in the New Password
field.
Note: This password is case sensitive and must contain at least 6
characters.
d) Type the new password again in the Confirm New Password field.
Note: The name in the Host field must be the name of the PC that is
hosting the craft terminal application, unless you are connected to a
TeMIP server. When you are connected to a TeMIP server, then the
server host name can be selected.
3 Click OK to make the password changes and close the Change Pass-
word window.
Note: You will need to use the new password the next time you log in
to the craft terminal.
1.3 Configuring a PPP Connection
Overview After you install the Tellabs 6300 Craft Terminal you must create a PPP con-
nection to communicate with some NEs. These procedures describe how to set
up a PPP connection, according to which Windows operating system the Tel-
labs 6300 Craft Terminal is running on:

4.2 Connecting to a Remote Network Element
What is a remote NE? You can communicate with a remote network element through a locally at-
tached network element using the DCN. Such an NE is called a remote NE.
Communicating with a Communication with a remote NE is performed by transporting management

remote NE information from the NE that you are physically connected to, through the
network to the remote NE. The remote NE is identified by a unique address
called the NSAP address. See 4.6 NSAP Address on page 112.
Transporting Tellabs 63xx NEs connect through the OSI DCN. Management traffic travels
management information between NEs via a channel called the Embedded Control Channel (ECC). The
ECC can be contained in the DCCR or DCCM bytes of the SDH section over-
head or a 2 Mbit/s tributary unit (TU-12), depending on how the NE is con-
figured. It is important that the ECCs of neighboring NEs are configured sim-
ilarly. The figure shows how a craft terminal communicates with NEs in an
STM-<n> ring via the ECC.
Tellabs 6315 nodes, ETEX mapping NEs and ETEX switching and mapping
NEs connect through the IP DCN. Management traffic (SNMP-based) travels
in the same network as the payload traffic. This means that management traf-
fic and user traffic share the same capacity. Refer to [15] and [16] for more in-
formation about DCN management traffic.

4.6 NSAP Address
Overview The address of a Tellabs 63xx NE or Tellabs 7200 NE is called an NSAP ad-
dress and must be unique. This address makes it possible for the Tellabs 6300
Craft Terminal to communicate directly with, and therefore manage, the re-
mote NE in question. The following is described:
4.6.1 Description of the NSAP Address on page 112
4.6.2 Changing an NSAP Address on page 113.
4.6.1 Description of the NSAP Address
Structure of the NSAP NEs are assigned the default NSAP address 490001<System/Node ID>01 dur-
address assigned during ing production. You can change this default value, as described in

112 MA336 Rev. O1

Note: With tellabs equipment, the default Area Address 490001 and the Selec-
tor Field part 01 of the NSAP address are always the same, only the Sys-
tem/Node ID part is different:

Where to find the unique The central management module for the NE has a label attached to its side. On
MAC address of an NE this label you can read the unique MAC address (Ethernet address) given to
the module during its production. The MAC address is printed after the letters
"EA=" (which stands for Ethernet address).
4.6.2 Changing an NSAP Address
Changing an NSAP The NSAP address of an NE can be changed by pre-configuring the network
address element using the Tellabs 6300 Craft Terminal. It is important that NSAP ad-
dresses fulfil certain requirements. An NSAP address consists of a number of
bytes, where each byte is written as a pair of hexadecimal digits (0 9, A, B, C,
D, E, F), some of which the user can choose.
To change the NSAP You can change the NSAP address of an NE as described in this procedure.
address of an NE For a description of the NSAP address and its format, see 4.6.1 Description of
the NSAP Address on page 112.
Warning: An NSAP address should not be changed unless network planners
have authorized the change. In this case, you should know exactly
which NSAP address to type during the following procedure. You
should be especially aware of the consequences of changing the area
address part of an NEs NSAP address. If the area address part of an
NEs NSAP address is changed, it could render the NE and many
other NEs unreachable from the management center. For example,
MA336 Rev. O1 113

if the NE in question has a gateway function in the data communi-

cation network, all other NEs in the ring will be unreachable.
Step Action
1 Physically connect to the NE in question.

2 Establish communication with the NE using the craft terminal.

3 Do one of the following:

In Tellabs NM2100 Craft Terminal, select
Configuration Equipment NE Address... in the craft terminal
menu.
In Tellabs 6300 Craft Terminal, select
Craft Terminal Equipment NE Address... in the craft terminal
menu.
The NE Address window appears, with an Information window in
front of it. This window informs you about the use of the NE Address
window.
114 MA336 Rev. O1

Step Action
4 Click OK in the Information window.

The NE Address window becomes active.
For NEs that do not support IP DCN, the window is similar to the
one below.
For NEs that support IP DCN, the window is similar to the one be-
low.
The Current NSAP field shows the NEs current address.
5 Select the lower User Defined check box if it is not already checked.
The lower Area and Node ID fields become active.
6 Type the NEs new NSAP address in the Area and Node ID fields.
Note: Please note the following:
490001 is the default area address given to Tellabs equipment.
Read the warning in the introduction to this procedure before
changing this value.
The area address is followed by the System/Node Identifier,
which is always 12 digits in length. All Tellabs equipment is given
a default System/Node Identifier, which is the same as the NEs
<MAC address>.
Up to 10 last-used NSAP addresses can be stored in the drop-down
lists in this window. However, these previously used addresses are
lost when the craft terminal is shut down.
MA336 Rev. O1 115

Step Action
7 Write the new NSAP address in your records.

If this address is not recorded, or if it is recorded incorrectly, it may
be necessary to read it directly from the NE using a local craft termi-
nal.
8 This step is valid only for NEs that support IP DCN management.
For example, Tellabs 6345 FP3.1 or higher and Tellabs 6350 FP3.1 or
higher, only.
If this NE uses CLNS tunnels, contains an ETEX module or you want
to use IP DCN instead of OSI DCN, you must do the following:
a) If you want to manage the NE via IP DCN, select Enable IP Ac-
cess to Node.
b) If IP traffic destined for a CLNS tunnel is arriving on the manage-
ment port, select Enable Management Ethernet Port for IP Traffic.
c) If you have selected one or both of the options in the steps above,
type in the IP address for the management port and the correct
subnet values for the network in the IP Address field and Subnet
Mask field, respectively.
d) If there is a router between your management port and the net-
work management system, in the Default Gateway field type in the
IP address of the gateway to access the management system.
9 This step is valid only for NEs that support IP DCN management.
Decide how you want the network manager and/or extended craft
terminal to communicate with the NE.
In the Registered Address Type in Manager group box, select one of
the following:
NSAP - this address is used by the management system to com-
municate with the NE.
IP - this address is used by the management system to communi-
cate with the NE.
10 Click OK.
Warning: The new NSAP address is sent to the NE. However, a Reset
NE operation must be performed before the new NSAP address re-
places the old one in the NE.
Note: Some NEs will reset the NE automatically. Some of the older
NEs require that the NE is reset manually. If a manual reset is re-
quired, go to Step 11.
11 In Tellabs NM2100 Craft Terminal, select Configuration Reset NE...

in the craft terminal menu.
Or, in Tellabs 6300 Craft Terminal, select Craft Terminal Operation
and Test Reset NE... in the craft terminal menu.
The Reset NE window appears.
Warning: A reset operation can take up to 3 minutes. As the craft ter-
minal will not be able to communicate with the NE during the reset,
a communications alarm unavailable will be generated by the NE.
116 MA336 Rev. O1

Step Action
12 Click OK in the Reset NE window.

The new NSAP address replaces the old one in the NE.

6 Managing Tributary Subracks from a Craft Terminal
Cable trace identifiers When the inter-subrack cables between main and tributary subrack NEs are
(CTIs) connected to the equipment, cable trace identifiers (CTIs) can be configured
manually when using a Tellabs 6300 Craft Terminal.
CTIs are configured for each end of the cables used to connect the main sub-
rack and the tributary subracks (that is to say, a CTI number is defined for
each iSTM-4 interface). CTIs are used to identify the cable connections and to
protect against misconnections. The usage and the concept of CTIs are very
similar to TTIs (trail trace identifiers). Each iSTM-4 interface transmits a CTI.
This is received by the iSTM-4 interface at the other end of the cable. The re-
ceived CTI is compared to the CTI that the interface expects to receive. Any
mismatch between the expected and the received CTI will result in generation
of an alarm.
To configure and/or view This procedure describes how you use a Tellabs 6300 Craft Terminal to con-
the inter-subrack cabling figure and/or view the cabling between the subracks of the NEs in a cluster.

Showing NE with many When the Equipment View window is opened initially, all racks and subracks
racks are visible and no scroll bars are used. If the IDs of the actual and expected
rack or subrack are different, two racks or subracks will be shown, one with
each ID.
If the amount of equipment causes the objects inside the subracks to be too
small to be shown individually, the objects are hidden, and the subracks ap-
pear as single components. To see the details of the equipment, you can use
the zoom function or open separate rack and subrack views.
Showing actual and As illustrated in the figure, the graphical representation of modules allows
expected modules you to easily distinguish between actual and expected equipment.
Modules that are both actually present and expected, are shown as lifelike
modules with an indication of module type and slot position.
Tool tips When the cursor floats over a section of the Tellabs 6300 Craft Terminal, a tool
tip appears. The tool tip gives information about the location and state of a
network element, rack, subrack, cable, protection unit or module. When you
select the particular section, the information that appears in the tool tip also
appears in the status bar.
11.3 Operating in the Equipment View Window
Activating a selected When a specific object (NE, rack, subrack, slot or module) is selected in the
object equipment view area, you can manage the object either via the relevant main
224 MA336 Rev. O1

menu, via the objects own pop-up menu, or by double-clicking on the object
or pressing Enter.
When you double-click or press Enter, the default action for the selected object
is activated. The default action is the first enabled action in the objects pop-
up menu.
Using the tabulator to Using the tabulator key (Tab), you can select the objects in the equipment view
select area in the following order:
Network element
Rack
Subrack
Fan module (01)
Modules (02 09) in subrack
By using Shift + Tab, you can navigate backwards in the object hierarchy.
Using the arrows to You can also navigate between the NE, racks, subracks, slots, modules, con-
select nectors and protection arrows using the arrow keys (alone or in combination
with Alt) and Page Up and Page Down.
The arrow keys are used to move the selection at a specific level (rack level,
subrack level or module level). For example, when you are at the module lev-
el, pressing an arrow key moves you from one module to the next. If you use
the arrow keys in combination with Alt, the movement is limited to the parent
of the current object type.
Page Up and Page Down are used to move between levels. For example, when
a module is selected, pressing Page Up will select the subrack that contains the
module.
Scrolling in the When scroll bars are present in the equipment view area (because of zoom-
equipment view area ing), the visible area will scroll automatically during selection with the tabu-
lator key or with the arrow keys, to ensure that the selected object is visible.
You can also scroll the view by using the control key (Ctrl) and the arrow keys.

The Deploy window The Deploy window enables you to align the AFC profile settings, IP DSCP
mapping, Queue Scheduling details and Ether Type information (for release 3
only). When an ETEX NE has access to a network management server, the val-
ues present in the NE are aligned with those values saved on the server. If ac-
cess to a network management server is not present, for example when using
a Tellabs 6300 craft terminal, then the values in the NE are aligned with values
that are saved locally on the PC.
Note: The quality of service settings must be saved locally on the Tellabs 6300
craft terminal before the deploy function can be used (see [1]).
MA336 Rev. O1 305

To deploy QoS settings This procedure describes how to deploy the QoS settings stored either in the
server or locally on the Tellabs 6300 craft terminal to the individual ETEX NE.
Note: For this procedure to be successful, when you are not connected to a
T6300NM server (Tellabs 6300 craft terminal), the files containing the
QoS settings must be saved in the following location:
C:\T6300ECT\CT\config\user\qualityofservice for an extended craft termi-
nal
C:\T6300CT\CT\config\user\qualityofservice for a Tellabs 6300 craft termi-
nal.
Step Action
1 Select Tools Deploy in the pop-up menu of the NE icon.

The Deploy window appears.
2 Click OK to align the QoS settings in the NE with the ones stored on
the server or locally on the Tellabs 6300 craft terminal.

Tellabs 6300 Network Manager A Quality of Service and AFC Profiles
A Quality of Service and AFC Profiles
Overview Tellabs 6300 Extended Craft Terminal uses bandwidth profiles and AFC pro-
files in the management of Ethernet traffic and quality of service (QoS). The
bandwidth profiles define a set of bandwidth classes for the individual AFC
profile. The following topics describe how to configure bandwidth profiles,
AFC profiles and the other elements used for QoS:
Note: Using Tellabs 6300 Craft Terminal, it is only possible to use the Save
and Load functions. Although you are able to view all windows, you
cannot change any of the QoS settings.

A.4 Configuring and Viewing the IP Priority Map on page 314
A.5 Configuring and Viewing AFC Profiles on page 315
A.6 Configuring and Viewing Bandwidth Profiles on page 319
A.7 Loading QoS Parameter Settings on page 322
A.8 Saving the QoS Parameter Settings on page 323
Warning: If you use a Tellabs 6300 manager, you must not use the craft termi-
nal to change any of the QoS settings described in these procedures.
Using these procedures will cause inconsistent QoS settings be-
tween the NE and the server.
A.1 The Quality of Service Window
Quality of Service The Quality of Service window and its sub-windows are used for defining and
window viewing the parameters specifying the quality of service delivered to the cus-
tomer.
The window contains five tabs. The Bandwidth Classes tab is preselected
when you open the window.

A.2 Configuring and Viewing Bandwidth Classes
Bandwidth classes A maximum number of 512 bandwidth classes can be defined. A bandwidth
class consists of an ID, a label, a bandwidth and a burst size. A bandwidth of
the specified size will be guaranteed, but the customer is allowed to send burst
traffic up to the specified burst size. However, traffic sent at a rate which is
higher than the guaranteed bandwidth but still below the burst size, is not
guaranteed. The bandwidth classes are grouped according to the following
types:
Bandwidth Type Description
CIR This type of bandwidth is always available to the

traffic.
PIR This type of bandwidth is only available when

unused bandwidth (not used by CIR) is available.
CIR + PIR This type of bandwidth guarantees a specified

amount of bandwidth. If additional bandwidth is
required, then the available additional band-
width is shared between the traffic using PIR.
Note: Different bandwidth classes are already available by default.

Note: CIR classes are used when Fixed is selected in Queue Scheduling. PIR
classes are used when Free is selected. CIR + PIR classes are used when
both Fixed and Free are selected. See A.3 Configuring and Viewing
Queue Scheduling on page 312.
To create a new This procedure describes how to create a new bandwidth class.
bandwidth class
Note: If you have Guest user access rights, then you are able to view all the
information in the Quality of Service window, but you cannot change
any of the values.
Note: If you try to create a new bandwidth class with a combination of param-
eters that are identical with the parameters of an existing bandwidth
class, the new class will be rejected and a message will inform you
about the ID and label of the existing bandwidth class,
Step Action
1 Select Operations Quality of Service... in the menu bar of the extend-

ed craft terminal.
The Quality of Service window appears, showing the Bandwidth
Classes tab.
A table with six columns is shown, in which you can view the speci-
fications of the defined bandwidth classes. The table displays an au-
tomatically assigned ID for each bandwidth class, the unique label
assigned to each class, the bandwidth and/or peak rate in kbit/s,
and the burst size and/or peak burst size in kbytes.

A.3 Configuring and Viewing Queue Scheduling
Queue scheduling Queue scheduling defines which class of service each queue in the system
supports. Each type of queue is given one or more type of bandwidth. Fixed
and/or Free. Fixed uses CIR settings and Free uses PIR settings (see Band-
width classes on page 309). The queue is also given a priority value: High,
Normal or Low. These settings determine how the traffic is handled by the
bandwidth available. There are, by default, four different classes.
Class of Service Description
Real Time Committed (fixed), high priority

A real-time traffic class for VoIP and other
traffic that needs a constant flow with very lit-
tle jitter.
Business Data with Burst Committed (fixed) with burst (free), normal
priority
A class for customers who want a guaranteed
bandwidth, but also need to be able to send
bursts of traffic.
Business Data Committed (fixed), normal priority

A class for packet-emulated Ethernet connec-
tion service.
Best Effort Limited (free), normal priority

A low-cost traffic option for customers who
do not need a guaranteed bandwidth.

A.5 Configuring and Viewing AFC Profiles
AFC profiles A maximum number of 16 AFC profiles can be defined. An AFC profile con-
sists of an ID, a label and a priority mapping table. The priority mapping table
contains 8 different priorities each associated with a queue number and a drop
precedence level. When you create an LSP that spans several network ele-
ments, the same AFC profile must be selected in all network elements. This
means that the definition of AFC profiles is a network-wide operation and not
a network element specific issue.
The set of default AFC profiles consists of 6 AFC profiles, where 5 of the pro-
files map to only one queue each and therefore 4 have the same names as the
relevant queue (see Queue scheduling on page 312) and DCN (Data with
Burst) uses Business Data with Burst. The last default AFC profile (Multi Ser-
vice) uses all queue types.

AFC profile are active. However, when Multi Service is selected all
the drop-down lists are active.
Note: When the Business Data with Burst attribute is active, the list of
possible values includes all the Business Data with Burst bandwidth
classes and the complete list of CIR bandwidth classes. In this situa-
tion, PIR values = 0, which gives an unlimited peak information rate.
The values in this list are required when you upgrade the embedded
software your ETEX modules from 2.x to 3.x.
