status, or a combination of any preceding items.
Alarm Acknowledging
Alarm Synchronization
The U2000 LCT supports the ability to synchronize NE alarms automatically and manually. You can manually synchronize NE alarms by performing operations through GUI or set an
automatic synchronization policy. When the U2000 LCT restarts or the communication with an NE recovers, the NE sends an alarm to the U2000 LCT. This implements the automatic
alarm synchronization on the U2000 LCT, as shown in Figure 1.
Manual synchronization
You can manually synchronize NE alarms by performing operations through GUI.
Automatic synchronization
You can set an automatic synchronization policy. After the U2000 LCT restarts, its communication with an NE recovers, the NE sends an alarm to the U2000 LCT. This
implements the automatic alarm synchronization on the U2000 LCT.
If an alarm is cleared on the NE but uncleared on the v, the alarm on the U2000 LCT is cleared.
If an alarm exists on the NE but does not exist on the U2000 LCT, the alarm is added to the U2000 LCT.
NE Alarm Suppression
U2000 LCT supports the ability to suppress NE alarms. If you set the status of an alarm to Suppressed, the NE does not report the alarm.
The difference between NE alarm suppression and NMS alarm masking is as follows: If you enable alarm masking, an NE still reports an alarm but the U2000 LCT does not receive
the alarm. If you enable NE alarm suppression, the NE does not report an alarm, as shown in Figure 2.
Alarm Jumping
The U2000 LCT supports the alarm locating function. This function helps to jump to the topology object that generates the required alarm. In addition, this function helps to quickly
locate a network fault, which improves the efficiency of alarm locating.
The alarm handling link is provided for the alarm jumping function. You can click Details to display the alarm reference of the online help for detailed alarm causes and handling
procedures

Perform intelligent power adjustment (IPA): In the case of a fiber cut, the optical amplifier board detects signal loss at the local station. The local station reports an event to
the U2000 LCT. After the event is confirmed, the optical amplifier boards at the upstream and downstream stations reduce their output power to a safe value to protect fiber
maintenance engineers from being injured by the laser emitted from the cut fiber. After the fiber is reconnected, the optical signals are restored and the optical power of
each optical amplifier board automatically returns to a normal value.
Perform automatic power equilibrium (APE). If the optical power of channels detected by the MCA board at the receive end is abnormal, an event is reported to the U2000
LCT. After the event is confirmed, a command is issued to the optical attenuation adjustment board at the upstream station to adjust the optical power of the corresponding
channels. In this manner, the optical signal noise ratio (OSNR) of each channel at the receive end is equalized.
Perform ROADM optical power equalization. After ROADM is enabled for dynamically configuring WDM services, the WDM equipment outputs multiplexed wavelengths.
The optical power between each channel, however, may be greatly different, especially for new add wavelengths. To avoid negative impacts on transmission performance,
the ROADM optical power equalization mechanism is provided. This mechanism first determines whether the wavelengths are pass-through wavelengths or add
wavelengths. Then, optical power adjustment starts. The DWC/WSS adjusts the optical power of pass-through wavelengths, and the optical attenuation adjustment board
adjusts the optical power of add wavelengths based on wavelength labels.
Dispersion Compensation
Perform dispersion compensation with DCM board configured on optical NEs for each band to achieve dispersion equalization.
In the submarine system, use a separate dispersion compensation board, such as the TDC1 or TDC2, to perform dispersion compensation for signals on the line side of an
OTU board.

the U2000 LCT. After the event is confirmed, the optical amplifier boards at the upstream and downstream stations reduce their output power to a safe value to protect fiber
maintenance engineers from being injured by the laser emitted from the cut fiber. After the fiber is reconnected, the optical signals are restored and the optical power of
each optical amplifier board automatically returns to a normal value.
Perform automatic power equilibrium (APE). If the optical power of channels detected by the MCA board at the receive end is abnormal, an event is reported to the U2000
LCT. After the event is confirmed, a command is issued to the optical attenuation adjustment board at the upstream station to adjust the optical power of the corresponding
channels. In this manner, the optical signal noise ratio (OSNR) of each channel at the receive end is equalized.
Configure pre-alerts for optical power at ports.
Dispersion Compensation
The G.652 and G.655 fibers have positive dispersion coefficients and positive dispersion slopes in 1550 nm window. After an optical signal is transmitted over a certain
distance, the accumulation of positive dispersion broadens the optical signal pulse and seriously affects the transmission performance. To minimize this effect, a negative
DCM is used on networks. It uses negative dispersion to compensate the positive dispersion of fibers, so as to maintain the original signal pulse.
The OEQ NE can apply dispersion compensation to each band to reach dispersion equalization.
Wavelength Monitoring
Wavelength monitoring uses the wavelength supervisory unit to monitor the wavelengths that are transmitted from the WDM-side optical interface of the OTU board (including the
service convergence unit) and to control the wavelength drift. This function ensures stable wavelengths.

The MC LAG supports the ability to share load between aggregation group devices.
The U2000 LCT supports configuring the following LAG/MC LAG attributes:
MSTP Configuration
The MSTP can be used to clear loops in a network. The MSTP uses a specific algorithm to block some redundant trails and change a loop network to a non-loop tree network. This
function prevents packet increase in a loop network and generation of broadcast storms in an endless cycle. Different from the STP and RSTP, the MSTP can forward data according
to VLAN packets and realize load balance of VLAN data.
The U2000 LCT supports configuring the following MSTP attributes:
IGMP Snooping is the multicast constraint scheme that runs on the Layer-2 equipment, and is used to manage and control multicast groups.
The U2000 LCT supports the ability to configure IGMP snooping for E-LAN services and provides the following functions:
BFD Configuration
Bidirectional forwarding detection (BFD) can be used to check the Ethernet link status.
BFD is a simple Hello protocol. It is similar to the neighbor check of those famous protocols in many aspects. A pair of systems periodically sends detection packets on the channel on
which session between the two systems is created. If a system does not receive any detection packet from the opposite end in a specific time, the system regards that a failure occurs
in some part of the bidirectional channel to the adjacent system.
The U2000 LCT supports the functions of performing the BFD detection on IP/GRE tunnels and the inter gateway protocol (IGP).
LPT Configuration
LPT is used to return the remote-end link status to the near end. The near-end equipment performs operations depending on the remote-end link status. When the intermediate
transmission network of the services becomes faulty, the LPT informs the access equipment at both ends of the transmission network to enable the backup network. That ensures the
normal transmission of the important data.
In the application scenario of dual-homing, the status of the peer equipment needs to be obtained either for the MC LAG or for the cross-MC LMSP. Meanwhile, the actions on both
sides need to be negotiated based on different fault cases. With the method of adding information of the peer end, a channel is established for control status synchronization with the
peer end. In this manner, the control packets can be transmitted and received through the channel and link fault detection can be performed.
Linear MSP protection contains 1+1 linear MSP and 1:N linear MSP. They use the protection channel to protect services that are transmitted on the working channel. When the
working channel fails, services are switched to the protection channel. The linear MSP applies to the POS interface and structured STM interface.
The multi-chassis (MC) LMSP can implement the LMSP among NEs.
The U2000 LCT supports the following functions of LMSP/MC LMSP configuration:
QoS Configuration
QoS indicates the performance of the data flow that travels through a network. The QoS is used to ensure end-to-end service quality. The QoS cannot increase the bandwidth, but it
can minimize the delay and jitter in the network by reasonably allocating and monitoring network resources. In this way, the quality of important services is ensured.
The DiffServ (DS) domain consists of a group of network nodes that enable the DiffServ function, that is, DS nodes. In a DS domain, all DS nodes use the same service provision
policy to realize the same per-hop behavior (PHB). The DS nodes are classified into edge DS nodes and internal DS nodes. The edge DS nodes usually perform complex flow
classification on the traffic that enters the DS domain. Traffic of different types is marked with different PHB service types. For internal DS nodes, you need to perform only simple flow
classification based on PHB service type.
The U2000 LCT supports the following QoS functions:
To simplify the operation and share some common QoS configuration parameters, the U2000 LCT supports creating QoS function point policy. The function point policies
are as follows: port policy, ATM policy, V-UNI ingress policy, V-UNI egress policy, PW policy and QinQ policy. By using these function point policies, you can bind the CAR
configuration attribute, shaping configuration attribute, flow classification configuration attributes, WFQ schedule policy, WRED policy and color blindness mode attributes.
The MPLS tunnel is the tunnel defined in the MPLS protocol. Independent from the service, the MPLS tunnel realizes end-to-end transmission and carries the PWs related to the
service.
See Figure 1. Unicast MPLS tunnel is mainly used to transparently transmit point-to-point PWE3 services.
The U2000 LCT supports configuring the following functions of the MPLS tunnel on a per-NE basis:
The U2000 LCT provides the following functions of configuring an MPLS tunnel protection group:
Create an MPLS tunnel 1+1 protection group and an MPLS tunnel 1:1 protection group, containing the switching mode, revertive mode, wait-to-restore (WTR) time, and
hold-off time.
MS PW Configuration
By creating multi step (MS)-PW to transmit services, you can save tunnel resources and transmit services over different networks.
As a network protection mechanism, PW automatic protection switching (APS) is intended to protect the services on the working PW with a protection PW. That is, when the working
PW is faulty, the services on the working PW are switched to the protection PW. In this manner, the services on the working PW are protected.
By using the MC PW APS function, you can implement the PW APS protection among NEs.
You can perform the following PW APS/MC PW APS functions on a per-NE basis:
If the equipment at the two ends of an IP network does not support MPLS tunnel, PWE3 services can pass through the IP network by using the IP tunnel or GRE tunnel.
IP tunnel and GRE tunnel mainly applies to the Offload scenarios of mobile communication.
The U2000 LCT supports configuring bidirectional IP tunnels and GRE Tunnels on a per-NE basis.
CES is mainly used for service transparent transmission of TDM trail switching data in the PTN network.
See Figure 2. The 2G/3G stations or Intranet line accesses the PTN equipment by using the E1/ channelized STM-1 line. The equipment divides the E1 signals into pieces,
encapsulates the pieces into the Ethernet, and transmits the E1 signals to the opposite end by using the PW.
The U2000 LCT provides the following configuration functions for CES service creation:
ATM emulation service is mainly used to transparently transmit ATM services in the PTN.
See Figure 3. The 3G station accesses the PTN equipment by using the ATM IMA group. The equipment encapsulates the ATM cells into the Ethernet, and transmits the ATM cells to
the opposite end by using the PW.
The U2000 LCT provides the following configuration functions for ATM service creation:
The E-line service is a point-to-point Ethernet service. The equipment transmits user packets from the user side to the network side based on Port or Port+VLAN. In this way, user data
can be transparently transmitted in a point-to-point manner.
See Figure 9-4. Company A has branches in City 1 and City 3. Company C has branches in City 1 and City 2. Branches of Company A or Company C that are in different cities have
data communication requirements. The PTN equipment can provide E-line services for Company A and Company C, to meet their communication requirements. In addition, the
service data can be completely isolated.
The U2000 LCT supports the following functions of configuring E-line services on a per-NE basis:
The E-Aggr service is a multipoint-to-point Ethernet service. The equipment uses several ports to access services from the V-UNI side, and converges the services into one PW at the
network side for transmission. In this way, user data from multiple points can be converged into one point.
See Figure 5 and Figure 6. One carrier wants to construct a 3G network. Services of each Node B are converged and transported to the RNC. The data between each Node B and RNC
is regarded as one service. At the convergence point, the QoS parameters such as the overall bandwidth are specified.
The U2000 LCT supports the following functions of configuring E-Aggr services on a per-NE basis:
Configure the service and the QoS of the corresponding PW when creating an E-Aggr service.
The E-LAN is a multipoint-to-multipoint Ethernet service. It connects to multiple V-UNI and NNI access points. It realizes packet forwarding and interconnection by using the MAC
address self-learning scheme of layer 2.
See Figure 7. The HQ of Company A is in City 3. Company A has Branch A in City 1, City 2, and City 3, and has Branch B in City 1 and City 2. Branch A and Branch B do not have
business with each other. Hence, the data should be isolated between the two branches. The HQ has requirements of communicating with each branch and accessing the Internet.
Different VLANs are used to identify service data of different branches by using the E-LAN service. In this way, data is shared within a branch and is isolated from other branches. The
Internet data of the HQ is also isolated from the internal service data by using the VLAN.
The U2000 LCT supports the following functions of configuring E-LAN services on a per-NE basis:
Configure the service and the QoS of the corresponding PW when creating an E-LAN service.
Configure the V-UNI and NNI interfaces of an E-LAN service.
In the case of the service mirroring, all packets that enter a certain port are duplicated and then duplicated packets are transmitted through an observation port. In this manner, the
normal service is scarcely affected when packets of the mirrored service are captured and analyzed.
You can configure the service mirroring as follows:
MPLS OAM is an OAM function of the MPLS network. This function can check the quality of LSPs in an MPLS network. The MPLS OAM scheme can effectively check, acknowledge,
and locate a defect inside the network at the MPLS layer. It can report and handle a defect. When a fault occurs, the MPLS OAM provides trigger scheme of protection switching.
The U2000 LCT provides the following functions of configuring MPLS OAM:
Ethernet service OAM is an end-to-end OAM function for services. This function can check the quality of Ethernet links that pass through multiple NEs. The Ethernet service OAM
checks an Ethernet link by sending OAM packets. The OAM packet is handled only at the MAC layer. As a low rate protocol, the OAM protocol uses very small network bandwidth.
Hence, this function does not affect services carried by the link.
The U2000 LCT provides the following functions of configuring Ethernet service OAM:
Create maintenance domains (MDs), maintenance associations (MAs), maintenance end points (MEPs), and maintenance intermediate points (MIPs).
Perform a CC check.

ATM OAM is an end-to-end OAM function for ATM services. This function can check the quality of ATM links that pass through multiple NEs. The ATM OAM function checks an ATM
link by inserting some OAM cells of the standard cell structure to the user cell flow.
The U2000 LCT provides the following functions of configuring ATM OAM:
After the IP address of the NMS is configured on the gateway NE, all the managed non-gateway NEs can automatically go online after being powered on.
Power-Off Notification
The PTN equipment sends a power-off notification to the U2000 LCT before it is totally powered off. According to this notification, the U2000 LCT determines whether the failure to
manage the equipment is caused by a power failure or a DCN fault such as a fiber cut.
PTN equipment supports the adjustment of inter-frame gaps for ports, which can be used for the wire speed of ports.
When a faulty board is replaced, related indicators on the U2000 LCT will blink.
When the OSS obtains alarm and performance data from NE over SNMP, you need to configure IP address and permission control parameters of OSS on the U2000 LCT.
In a DCN that packets travels on the control plane, DCN and service packets share the same forward channels. Therefore, you need to set the control plane DCN packet priority and
bandwidth.
Network-wide PRBS tests can determine network services function properly based on the bit error rate (BER) and the test results are displayed in a table or chart. The test results help
maintenance engineers learn the QoS over the current service channel in time.

Character Set
This topic describes the GBK, ISO-8859-1, and UTF-8 character sets of the U2000 LCT and the precautions for setting character sets.
Setting or Modifying Character Sets
If the character set that an NE transfers to the U2000 LCT is different from the character set of the internal data (NE source file) on the U2000 LCT, the data transferred to
the U2000 LCT is displayed as garbled characters. The data that the U2000 LCT applies to the NE is also displayed as garbled characters, resulting in failure in reading the
NE. The U2000 LCT provides the function of querying or modifying character sets of NEs to help users manage the NE data.
If the character set that an NE transfers to the U2000 LCT is different from the character set of the internal data (NE source file) on the U2000 LCT, the data transferred to the U2000
LCT is displayed as garbled characters. The data that the U2000 LCT applies to the NE is also displayed as garbled characters, resulting in failure in reading the NE.
GBK Chinese character set which indicates that the NEs support only Chinese
characters.
ISO-8859-1 Latin character set which indicates that the NEs support only western-
Europe characters.
UTF-8 Unicode encoding mode which indicates that the NEs support Chinese,
English, Spanish, Russian, German, Portuguese, Italian, French, and
Arabic characters.
Modifying character sets is not allowed. Character sets are set only when garbled characters are displayed. The setting rules are as follows:
Chinese GBK
English ISO-8859-1
Spanish UTF-8
Russian
German
Portuguese
Italian
French
Arabic
If the character sets on an NE are changed, the U2000 LCT refreshes the character sets in real time so that the character sets on the U2000 LCT are the same as those of
the NE. At the same time, the U2000 LCT notifies the user that the NE character sets are changed by means of an event.
In the case of a new NE, if the data on the U2000 LCT is displayed as garbled characters or the language changes, you can query and modify the character set attribute of a
single NE or NEs in batches in the NE Character Set Management window.
In the case of an old NE, the character set cannot be modified because an old NE does not have the character set attribute interface. In the NE Character Set
Management window, if the queried NE is an old NE, the related record is dimmed.
NOTE:
Modifying character sets is not a commonly performed operation. Generally, it is not allowed to modify character sets. If there is a definite multi-language requirement and the
character set needs to be changed to UTF-8, convert the original character sets according to the guide for related NEs to ensure that the original data is normally displayed.
Generally, in user manuals, the description of the restrictions on entering characters in text boxes is specific to English characters. For the restrictions on other languages, see the
following table and calculate the occupied bytes of each language.

Context
Current alarm is the display of merged current alarm logs. The rules for merging alarms are as follows:
The alarm logs whose alarm ID, alarm location information, and alarm source are the same, and maintenance status is Maintenance are merged into a current
alarm record.
The alarm logs whose alarm ID, alarm location information, and alarm source are the same, and maintenance status is not Maintenance are merged into a
current alarm record.
For a newly reported alarm log, if the current alarm contains the record that meets the alarm merging rule, the alarm log is merged into the previous record in the current
alarm regardless of the acknowledgment and clearance status of the record. After mergence, the frequency of the record is added by 1. The displayed acknowledgment
and clearance status of the record is subject to that of the latest alarm log. After the alarm log reaches the life cycle (for details, see Setting the Lifecycle of the Current Alarm),
the frequency recorded by the current alarm is reduced by 1.
You can query details of each alarm log in the Browse Alarm Logs window.
Alarm log records all the alarms received by the U2000 LCT. In the alarm log, each alarm is displayed as a record.
Acknowledged and cleared alarms become historical alarms after you set the lifecycle. All non-historical alarms are called current alarms. For details on how to set the
lifecycle, see Setting the Lifecycle of the Current Alarm.

Context
In the Preferences dialog box, select Show main window when terminal locked in the Locking Settings area. Thus, after the client is locked, the main window of the
client is visible.
Procedure
The following table describes how to set the client to be locked manually or automatically.
Automatically After you set the client to be locked automatically, the client is automatically locked if it does not receive
any operation instructions in the specified period. To set the client to be locked automatically, see Setting
Auto-Locking of a Client.
Manually To ensure U2000 LCT system security, if you do not perform operations on the U2000 LCT client for a
period, you can lock the client to prevent others from performing illegal operations on the U2000 LCT
client. You can lock the client manually by using the following method:
Prerequisites
The user name and password of the user who locks the client are available.
Context
Unlocking a client as user admin indicates to enter the user name and password of user admin on the locked client to unlock it. After the client is unlocked as user admin,
the original login user is logged out. The system returns to the login interface. The settings and data that the original user do not save are lost. Generally, unlock the client
as user admin only when the user name or password of the user who locks the client is unavailable.
To maintain the settings and operations of the user who locks the client, ask user admin to initialize the password of the user, and then unlock the client by using the user
name and initialized password.
If you unlock your own account, the U2000 LCT becomes operable after the account is unlocked.
If the user enters incorrect password for three consecutive times, the account will be locked for Auto unlock (minutes).
To unlock the admin user, the user can only enter the correct password when the unlocking time arrives. You cannot unlock the admin user if you forgot the password, so
the password is very important and must be kept carefully.
Procedure
2. In the unlocked dialog box, enter the user name and the password, and then click OK.

Background
This section describes the service ports used by management systems.
Notes and Precautions
In the practical communication process, the source (the server) and the sink (the client) use relevant ports. Usually you only need to specify the source port, and the sink
port is dynamically created.

How to Query Service Ports
This section describes how to query the service ports.
1.5.1 Background
This section describes the service ports used by management systems.
To ensure the network security, you can take measures on the customer's network. The following are the two cases that affect the network security:
Security filtering settings such as routers or firewalls are configured in the network environment where the NMS runs. When carrying out the project, avoid the service ports
used by the NMS being filtered by those security filtering settings.
Some service ports providing system services are closed to prevent network or virus attacks. Note that the service ports used by the NMS should not be closed, and
otherwise the NMS will not run properly.
If there are routers or firewalls between the source and the sink, then check all ports used by the source and the sink to make sure that they can be opened, and the source
can communicate with the sink.
0~1023: Identifies some standard services, such as FTP, Telnet, and Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP).
1024~49151: Assigned by Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) to the registered applications.
32768~65535: Private port numbers, which are dynamically assigned to any applications.
U2000 LCT service ports are classified into the following types:
Usage scenario
As diversified U2000 LCT installation schemes are available, the port list to be opened varies according to components selected for installing the U2000 LCT. The complete
U2000 LCT port list is provided here. You can use the port list customization tool to generate a proper port list for the deployment package. Only mandatory ports need to
be configured for firewalls.
After the U2000 LCT server is installed and deployed, you can run the port list generation tool to generate an accurate port list to determine the ports to be opened for
configuring firewalls.
Usage method
During installation of the U2000 LCT server, the port list generation tool is automatically installed in the U2000 LCT installation path. The path for the port list generation tool
is as follows:
Windows
C:\HWENGR\engineering\tool\installcheck\InstallCheck.bat
You can generate a port list in the tool script path only by running a tool script. The port list is in .html format and named VxRxCxPortList.html. For details, please do as
follows:
Windows
Navigate to C:\HWENGR\engineering\tool\installcheck and double-click InstallCheck.bat.
Solaris OS

1.6 Glossary
Alarm hold-off time Alarm delay includes start delay and end delay. An alarm is not regarded
as being generated until the NE has been detecting it for a period of time,
and this period of time is the alarm start hold-off time. An alarm is not
regarded as being cleared until the NE has been detecting the ending of it
for a period of time, and this period of time is the alarm end hold-off time.
Setting the hold-off time can avoid the generation of unnecessary alarms
due to misreport or jitter.
Alarm severity According to ITU-T recommendations, the alarm is classified into four
severities: Critical, Major, Minor, Warning.
Board View The Board View displays the ports and the paths in different colors
depending on their current status, with legend and description illustrated
aside.
Bound path The VC Trunk refers to the 2 M paths which are bound together to transmit
Ethernet data. The VC Trunk is an entity between the Ethernet port and
the 2 M path.
Configuration data The data that configures the NE hardware for coordination between this
NE and other NEs in the entire network and operation of specified
services. Configuration data is the instruction file of NEs, and it is the key
for efficient network running. The typical configuration data includes board
configuration, clock configuration and protection relationship.
Connection point A reference point where the output of a trail termination source or a
connection is bound to the input of another connection, or where the
output of a connection is bound to the input of a trail termination sink or
another connection. The connection point is characterized by the
information which passes across it. A bidirectional connection point is
formed by the association of a contradirectional pair.
Cross-connect slot To perform GE ADM, an OTU board with that function has to be in a cross-
connect slot. Several successive cross-connect slots form a cross-connect
unit group. You can only configure cross-connections within a cross-
connect unit group.
Current alarms Alarms that do not clear, or has cleared but is not acknowledged.
Current performance data The performance data stored in the current register is called current
performance data. The current 15-minute or 24-hour register (only one for
each) is applied to collect the performance data in the current monitoring
period. It changed within the monitor period.
DCC Within an STM-N signal there are two DCC channels, one is the 192 kbit/s
DCC-R channel composed of bytes D1-D3, and the other is the 576 kbit/s
DCC-M channel composed of bytes D4-D12. All NEs can communicate
with one another through the DCC-R. The DCC-M is not the regenerator
Failure The fault cause persisted long enough to consider the ability of an item to
perform a required function to be terminated. The item may be considered
as failed; a fault has now been detected.
Fault A fault is the inability of a function to perform a required action. This does
not include an inability due to preventive maintenance, lack of external
resources, or planned actions.
History performance data The performance data stored in the history register and the auto-report
performance data stored on the Web LCT are called history performance
data in a unified way.
IP address In the TCP/IP protocol, it is used to uniquely identify the address of the
communication port, which consists of four bytes in decimal digits, for
example, 129.9.161.55.
LCT Local Craft Terminal. The LCT provides the user with single-layer
management network solutions to the transmission network of up to five
NEs to realize integrated management of multi-service transmission
network. Usually it uses the cross-over cable or serial port cable to
connect one NE, so as to configure and maintain a single NE. See also
Web LCT.
NE Explorer NE Explorer is the main operation interface of the Web LCT. For easy
navigation, the NE Explorer window presents an expandable directory tree
(Function Tree) in the lower left pane. The configuration, management and
maintenance of the equipment are accessed here.
NE Network Element. NE includes the hardware unit and the software running
on it. Usually, one NE has at least an SCC (system control and
communication) board which responsible for the management and
monitoring of the NE. The NE software runs on the SCC board.
Online help An indexed collection of information on all aspects of the Web LCT. They
can be accessed at any time from the Help menu or by pressing the F1
key.
Pane A major separate area of a window or dialog box, usually used for display
rather than data entry.
Performance register Performance register is the memory space for performance event counts,
including 15-min current performance register, 24-hour current
performance register, 15-min history performance register, 24-hour history
performance register, UAT register and CSES register.
Performance threshold Performance events usually have upper and lower thresholds. When the
performance event count value exceeds the upper threshold, a
performance threshold-crossing event is generated; when the performance
event count value is below the upper threshold for a period of time, the
performance threshold-crossing event is ended. In this way, performance
jitter caused by some sudden events can be shielded.
Protection service A specific service that is part of a protection group and is labelled
protection.
Route The IP route selection is in table driving mode. In each host and each
router of the Internet, there is a routing table that contains information
about how the service is transmitted from the source to the sink, providing
a basis for route selection. Ethernet static routing in ET1 refers to the
mapping relationship between the Ethernet port and the bound path. Its
routing type includes port routing and VLAN routing. Port routing: It means
configuring a route between the Ethernet port and the bound path port,
which is usually used for point-to-point networking communication; VLAN
routing: It means configuring a route between the Ethernet port and the
bound path port based on the VLAN service. It can be used flexibly in
point-to-point, point-to-multipoint or multipoint-to-multipoint communication.
The implementation is to divide and converge the data stream according to
the VLAN flag of the packet. As a VLAN flag can be added to the Ethernet
port, the equipment can be applied more flexibly.
SF Signal Fail. A signal indicating the associated data has failed in the sense
that a near-end defect condition (not being the degraded defect) is active.
Shortcut menu A menu that is displayed when right-clicking an object' s name or icon.
Also called a context menu.
Subnet mask Also referred to as the network mask off code, it is used to define network
segments, so that only the computers in the same network segment can
communicate with one another, thus suppressing broadcast storm
between different network segments.
Subnet number Subnetwork numder is used to differentiate the different network sections
in the sub-network conference. Actually it is the first several digits (one or
two) of the user phone number. An orderwire phone number is composed
of the sub-network number and the user number.
Support The frame on the bottom of a cabinet, when installing the cabinet on the
antistatic floor.
Tributary loopback A fault can be located for each service path by performing loopback to
each path of the tributary board. There are three kinds of loopback modes:
No loopback, Outloop and Inloop.
UAT Unavailable Time. A UAT event is reported when the monitored object
generates 10 consecutive severely errored seconds (SES) and the SESs
begin to be included in the unavailable time. The event will end when the
bit error ratio per second is better than 10-3 within 10 consecutive
seconds.
VC4 loopback The fault of each VC4 path on the optical fiber can be located by setting
loopback for each VC4 path of the line. There are three kinds of loopback
modes: No loopback, Outloop, Inloop.
VLAN ID Namely, it is the virtual LAN identifier. One Ethernet port can support 4K
VLAN routes, and one NE can support up to 8K VLAN routes.
Wavelength protection group The wavelength protection group is important to describe the wavelength
protection structure. Its function is similar to that of the protection sub-
network in the SDH NE. The wavelength path protection can only work
with the correct configuration of the wavelength protection group.
WDM cross-connection Internal GE cross-connections for OTU boards with GE ADM function, the
source and sink of which are optical ports at the WDM side and the client
side. The level for WDM cross-connection is channel.
WDM service The WDM service is accessed at the client side of the OTU board that can
access SAN services.
Web LCT It is an element level management system for the optical transmission
network. It can manage RTN and NG WDM serial optical transmission
equipment. See also LCT.
Working path A specific path that is part of a protection group and is labelled working.
Working service A specific service that is part of a protection group and is labelled working.
WTR time A period of time that must elapse before a - from a fault recovered -
trail/connection can be used again to transport the normal traffic signal
and/or to select the normal traffic signal from.
WTR Wait to Restore. This command is issued when working channels meet the
restoral threshold after an SD or SF condition. It is used to maintain the
state during the WTR period unless it is pre-empted by a higher priority
bridge request.
