3.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the procedures for logging in and logging out
of the Tejas Network Element (NE). It also provides the structure
and functionality of the craft application or Web User Interface
(WUI) for the Tejas Network Element Software (TejNES).
3.2 System Requirements

The system used as the craft application should have a minimum of
256 Mb RAM. The operating systems that can run the craft
application are:
• Windows XP
• Windows 2000
• Windows NT
• Linux 2.4, 2.6
The browsers that can be used for accessing the WUI are:
• Mozilla v1.6, v1.7 on Red Hat Linux and HP-UX.

• FireFox 1.0 on Red Hat Linux 7.x
• IE 6.x on WinXp or Win2K
To ensure proper operation of the alarm monitoring pages, the

caching mechanism in the user’s web browser should to be set to
search for a newer versions of alarm monitoring page.

6 Browser Based User Interface
The following procedure describes the steps to set the caching

mechanism to search for newer pages in Internet Explorer.
Step Action
1 Click Tools on the menu bar of Internet Explorer.

2 In the drop-down menu click Internet Options. The Internet
Options dialog box is displayed.
3 In the Temporary Internet files section of the Internet
Options dialog box, click Settings. The Settings dialog box is
displayed.
4 In the Settings dialog box, select Automatically for “Check
for newer versions of stored pages” and click OK. The
Settings dialog box is closed.
5 Click OK in the Internet Options dialog box to close it. the
browser is now set to display the latest versions of all the web
pages.
3.3 User Interface Layout

• System Operation
• System Configuration
• Diagnostics
• Maintenance Operations
• Software and Configuration Management
• User Administration
TJ100CPr4
The default view of the WUI is divided into four separate areas. The
four areas are as follows:
• Alarm Banner
• Title area
• Navigation menu
• Input/Output area
Figure 3-1 shows the default view of the TejNES web user interface.
Figure 3-1
Sample User Interface Layout - Page 1

3.3.1 Title area

The Title area occupies the top frame in the WUI. It displays the
following:
• IP address of the NMS port of the network element

• Logout option
• Tejas logo
• Name of the network element
Figure 3-2 shows the elements of the Title area.
Figure 3-2
Title area
3.3.2 Alarm Banner

The Alarm Banner displays the active alarms on the network element
along with their severity levels.
Alarm Banner displays a check box, which provides the option to

enable/disable auto refresh. The auto-refresh is enabled by default.
Auto-refresh is disabled on selecting the check box. The Alarm
banner also displays the last refresh time of the network element.
When automatic refresh is disabled, the counters are not updated and
count change due to declaration of new alarms or clearing of existing
alarms are not reflected on the banner. Disabling the automatic
refresh will affect only the current WUI and will not affect the refresh
functionality for other users or alarm notification to NMS
applications.
TJ100CPr4
The question mark above the alarm banner indicates the order in
which the alarms are displayed (Critical Major Minor Deferred
Warning) when mouse is brought over it.
The color code for the alarms are as follows:
• Red - Critical, Major

• Orange - Minor
• Yellow - Deferred, Warning
3.3.3 Navigation menu

The Navigation menu displays the menu items for accessing the
various network element WUI applications.
3.3.4 Input/Output area

The Input/Output area displays the respective pages when the
menu items in the navigation menu is clicked. The pages displayed in
the Input/Output area displays the parameters to configure the
network element as desired.
3.4 Working with the Network Element User Interface

The main menu in the navigation tree can be expanded to access the
submenus. The submenus launch a specific application, when clicked.
Each application provides access to different operations depending
on the access privileges of the user.
The WUI prompts for a confirmation when a user deletes, modifies

or provisions any feature. The changes are applied only after a
confirmation from the user. During confirmation, the Cancel button
is selected by default to avoid inadvertent submission of changes as
some web browsers automatically submit the form when Enter key is
pressed on the key board.
On confirming a change, you will be indicated about initiating a

reboot and traffic disruption. The software reboots without affecting
the commissioned traffic (warm reboot). Reboot is necessary when
the IP address or the Router ID of the network element is changed.
Connectivity to the network element software is lost while rebooting.

A Reset button is provided in each provisioning and editing page,

which when clicked, restores the original values for the modified
parameters.
3.5 Logging In
The craft application or the WUI of a network element can be
accessed remotely using DCC. To access a network element in a
network remotely, you need to add the IP address of the gateway
network element in the network as route in your system.
To access the WUI, connect an Ethernet interface of the craft

PC/terminal to the Network Management System (NMS) port on the
Processor, Cross-connect, Aggregate and Tributary card (PXAT).
Note 1: An Ethernet cross cable is used for direct connectivity between the Ethernet
interface of the PC and the NMS port on the PXAT card of the network element.
Note 2: An Ethernet straight cable is used to connect the network element and the PC
terminal, when connected through an Ethernet hub/switch.
To log into the network element, open a web browser session and
enter the following Universal Resource Locator (URL):
http://192.168.1.254:20080/
Note 3: The URL http://192.168.1.254 is the default factory setting. After the system
is commissioned the network element is assigned the element specific URL.
TJ100CPr4
Note 4: If the URL is not accessible, the following can be a possible reason:
• Ethernet connectivity to the network element is improper.
• Type of cable used is different (straight/cross).
• Ethernet interface on the PC/terminal is not provisioned.
• Incorrect URL entered to access the network element.
• Malfunction of the network element software.
• Route to the subnet IP, http://192.168.1.254:20080, is not present
on the terminal.
Note 5: Ensure that the computer has Netscape Navigator, version 4.75 onwards or
Internet Explorer, version 5.0 onwards for setting up the network element
software.
If the URL is accessible, login to the WUI with the User Name as
tejas and Password as j72e#05t. On successful log in, the NE
Information page is displayed.
The user authentication screen is shown in Figure 3-3.

Figure 3-3
TejNES user login screen

Note 6: Change the initial password of the default user account on the network
element. The default user accounts and passwords are widely known.
Note 7: The performance of the craft application is reduced with the increase in the
number of sessions.
Note 8: The “Save this password in your password list” should not be checked if the
craft application is used from a shared PC. Also after finishing the work, the
user should logout of the application and close the browser.
CAUTION
Multiple administrative and diagnostic logins
During multiple administrative and diagnostic logins, ensure that
actions performed do not affect the work of other users. The
command implementations are on first-come-first-serve basis.
3.6 Logging Out

A LOGOUT link is provided on the right side of the Title Area (refer
to Figure 3-1). On clicking LOGOUT, the user exits from the
application and a logout page is displayed. To login again, the user has
to enter the password and login. To login as a different user, click the
Change User button and retype the user name and password.

for date and time, the NTP server address and synchronization
interval for the network element should be set. Usually, the NMS
server is nominated as the NTP server.
CAUTION
In case the network elements in a network are synchronized to more
than one NTP server, ensure that the NTP servers are synchronized
to a common wall clock. Non-synchronous NTP servers may result in
frequent reset of internal clock in the network elements, which may
lead to incorrect performance bining.
Note 1: Upto 5 NTP servers can be nominated on the network element.
Note 2: Timing server nominated must be of stratum level of 14 or less than 14. The
network element will not synchronize to the server if the stratum level is not
within the range.

Protection 1-
8.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the protection feature for a network element.
The linear protection switching mechanism is coordinated by the K1
and K2 bytes in the Line Overhead. Protection switching comes into
effect in case of:
• Signal failure
• Signal degradation
• User initiated request
In the Protection menu, you can view information on the following:
• Connections
• Timing Manager
8.2 Connections
Sub-Network Connection Protection (SNCP) is path protection
switching that is initiated in the path terminating equipment when the
network element is in SDH mode.
In SNCP, protection is initiated on a failure in the path. It is required

to create two paths for each circuit—one work and one protection.
Traffic in the source network element is bridged on both the working
and the protection paths, so that the destination network element
selects the best of the signals from the working or protection paths.

34 Protection
SNCP is a dedicated protection mechanism and operates in a

unidirectional protection switching manner. SNCP is a protection
scheme, which can be applied on an individual basis to VC-n (both
HOVC and LOVC) signals. The entry and the exit network elements
are designated at connection provisioning time. A network element
can be both entry and exit network element in case of bidirectional
SNCP ring connection. SNCP ring groups are formed from
unprotected facilities. When SNCP ring connections are provisioned
on these facilities, all intermediate nodes have pass-through
connections.
SNCP can be provisioned only if there is availability of minimum

bandwidth on both the working and protection port. For example, to
provision SNCP for add/drop E1 cross-connect, there should be at
least one TU12 available on the working and protection ports.
SNCP configuration is supported on STM-1 interfaces. SNCP can be

provisioned in revertive and non-revertive mode. In revertive mode,
traffic switches back to the work path once the fault condition has
cleared, after the WTR period has elapsed. In non-revertive mode,
traffic remains on the protect path until switched back to the work
path manually, after the fault is cleared. Table 8-1 lists the maximum
number of connections supported in the SNCP configuration for
STM-1 interfaces.
Table 8-1

connections for STM-1

Note : In Tejas systems, SNCP is provisioned while configuring protection for

creating/editing cross-connects.

The Connections menu allows you to execute external commands on

SNCP provisioned cross-connections.
In the Connection menu, you can,
• prevent the traffic from switching to the protection port (Lockout

Protection)
• force switch the traffic to the protection path
• force switch the traffic to the working path
• manual switch the traffic to the protection path
• manual switch the traffic to the working path
• clear active switch requests on the protection path
Note 1: When there is a signal fail on the protect path, then a manual switch to the
protect path will fail.
Note 2: You cannot perform a protection switch if a higher-priority switch is already

active on the protection path.
Note 3: The manual switch command is successfully executed only if the working or
the protection path to which the traffic is being switched is error or alarm free.
Note 4: The Source Protection, Source Revertive, Source Protection Status,

Provisioned Source External Command, Source Switch Status fields are not
applicable for VCG port.
Note 5: SNCP protection for card failure can be provided by provisioning work and
protect port/time slot on different card packs in the network element.

9.11 DCN
DCN is an ECC (Embedded Communication Channel) on the Tejas
network element. The TejNES can be provisioned to act as an OSPF
router for ECC in remote management. It can exchange and maintain
the routing information on both the ECC and LAN to which it is
connected using the NMS port. The network element processes the
router information on the NMS port, if the OSPF Ethernet
parameter is enabled. Similarly, the routing information on the Data
Communication channel is processed.
The network element has the capability to use either IP or OSI as

Layer 3 protocol for routing the data communication packets from
the element management system.
DCN also supports overhead tunneling. Using overhead tunneling

you can transfer transparently the overhead data belonging to a
different network element across the STM-1 ports.
TJ100CPr4
Configuration 99
The network elements also support the remote management using the
embedded communication channel (ECC) to allow the remote
EMS/NMS to communicate to the network element for OAM&P
applications.
TejNES supports provisioning of ECC over the following bytes/sets

of bytes:
• DCC-R/SDCC
• DCC-M/LDCC
• F1
• F2
• F3
• F2F3
Each SDH frame includes two Embedded Communication Channels
(ECC) called Regenerator Section and Multiplex Section ECC for
transporting management messages between network elements and
management systems. These in-band data communication channels
enable service providers Operation Support Systems (OSS) to
manage SDH network elements without the need for an expensive
out-of-band data communication network.
E1/VC12 management channel can be used to transport

management communications between network elements and
management systems. These management channels enable service
providers to manage SDH network elements without the need of
expensive out-of-band data communications network.
Note : If the ECC_bytes are enabled on the STM-1 port, then the corresponding bytes
cannot be used for tunneling.

9.12 OSPF
The Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) is an interior gateway routing
protocol based on the shortest path first or link-state algorithm.
Routers use link-state algorithms to send routing information to all
nodes in an internetwork by calculating the shortest path to each node
based on a topography of the internet constructed by each node.
Each router sends that portion of the routing table (keeps track of
routes to particular network destinations) that describes the state of
its own links, and the complete routing structure (topography). The
advantage of shortest path first algorithms is that it results in smaller
and more frequent updates everywhere. The converge is quick, thus
preventing problems like routing loops and count-to-infinity (when
routers continuously increment the hop count to a particular network)
which results in a stable network.
The OSPF feature enables monitoring neighbors of a network

element and debugging the routing information for In Band
Communication (IBC). The OSPF parameters can be configured for
all embedded control channel interfaces and for the LAN port to
enable routing between these interfaces.
OSPF as a routing algorithm is used to route IP packets through the

shortest path. For this to happen, the routers need to properly
establish the adjacency and then exchange their routing database with
each other.
OSPF authentication is used to avoid any malicious intentions of

establishing adjacency, thereby avoiding any malicious intentions of
knowing routing database of a network. The password configured in
OSPF authentication mode is sent in OSPF packets. This is used to
establish adjacency where the same password needs to be configured
on both interfaces connected to each other.
OSPF network can be divided into sub-sections called areas. An area

is a group of OSPF networks, routers and links that have the same
area identification. It helps in reducing the size of the router database,
as router only possess information about network topology that is
within the area. The default area parameter is 0.0.0.1. Any valid IP
address is an acceptable area parameter.

9.13 Static Route
Static route is an entry in network element routing table that specifies
how to reach an IP address through a particular gateway (network
element or Interface). Static routes are used to provide static
connectivity between routers, meaning the routes do not change
automatically unlike routing protocols. A static route allows the user
to access a network element in any network. The user can do this by
adding a destination network IP address and the IP address of next
hop network element. Thus a user can establish a link.

9.15 Serial Port

Serial communication between two network elements is possible due
to the serial port. Once the serial port has been properly configured,
the serial port can be used to send and receive data. There are three
applications for the serial port on the Tejas network element—User
Data Channel (UDC), or Terminal Server network. For UDC
application, overhead byte F1 is used for data communication
purpose. Serial communication requires that you specify the
transmission baud rate and application.
Terminal server helps in connecting to a remote node using telnet in

the absence of Diaguser provision in the network element.
In the Serial port menu, you can

9.16 Synchronization
The Synchronization feature provides the timing and synchronization
management functionality for the network element.
All the SDH network elements in a network are synchronized to the

same highly accurate clock called the Primary Reference Clock (PRC).
PDH signals can be transported on an SDH frame, but they are
multiplexed independently of the SDH timing.
The frequency of the primary reference clock is passed on to the

network elements through the traffic signal or through any external
means like Global Positioning System (GPS) or via the Building
Integrated Timing System (BITS).
The BITS clock input/output is at 2.048MHz and can be nominated

as a reference for node synchronization. Loss-of-Signal (LOS) is
detected on the clock input and this alarm is used as a trigger to
change over to the next synchronization reference.
The timing Synchronization sources depends on:
• user or automatic timing protection switch requests in the network

element
• validity of the nominated sources (synchronization status values)
• priorities assigned to the source (user provisionable)
• quality of the available signal on the nominated source (ppm offset
less than or equal to 17ppm)
9.16.1 Viewing and editing the synchronization status

The Synchronization state page displays the synchronization state
of the network element. The SSM timing alarms are displayed in the

Performance 1-
12.1 Introduction
Performance Monitoring (PM) refers to the in-service, non-intrusive
monitoring of transmission quality.
Performance Monitoring (PM) is the process that monitors the

performance of a facility through performance data collection and
analysis without interruptions to service.
The functions of performance monitoring include:
• collection of PM counts
• reporting of PM counts
• storage of PM counts
• threshold crossing alerts when PM counts exceed their threshold
settings
The network element monitors performance parameters for working
and protection facilities separately.
You can use performance monitoring to section and isolate

intermittent faults without interrupting service.
SDH performance monitoring is based on block error measurement.

If one or more of the parity bits indicate a parity error when the BIP,
BIP-8/BIP24xN or BIP-2 byte is checked, then only one block error
is counted.

146 Performance
The network element monitors the performance parameters and

records the data for
• Current Interval – The Current interval statistics displays the

performance statistics for the current time interval, previous 15
minutes, current day and the previous day.
• 15min intervals – The Interval statistics displays the performance
statistics for 32 previous 15-minute intervals.
• Previous day – The Previous day’s history displays the
performance statistics for previous day.
The performance monitoring parameters are categorized as follows:
• STM performance monitoring parameters - You can monitor the

performance of Regenerator section-Multiplex section, path,
Tributary unit and Transceiver performance attributes.
• PDH performance monitoring parameters - You can monitor the
E1/E3 line and path performance attributes
• Ethernet performance monitoring parameters
• VCG performance monitoring parameters
The Reset options are provided to reset the performance counter at
the near and far end network elements. A value of 1 in the Interval
Valid column indicates that there has been no interruption in the
performance counter during the 15 minutes, current day or 24 hours
interval. A value of 0 indicates that there has been an interruption in
the performance counter such as a the network element software
restarting, facility administered down, reset, card being jacked out, etc.

Cards need to be rebooted in case of FPGA upgradation or when
alarms are not reported properly on the card. Cards can be rebooted
in the following two ways:
• Warm reboot - Warm reboot does not affect traffic on the card.
• Cold reboot - Cold reboot disrupts traffic on the card for the
period while the card is rebooting.

14.5 Loop-Backs
Loopbacks are performed to check the continuity on SDH, PDH or
Ethernet ports. The ports can be configured for facility loopback and
terminal loopback. The exact location of failure can be detected using
loopbacks. You can perform facility and terminal loopbacks to test
the electrical (E1/E3) and optical (STM-1) connectivity of the
network element. When a facility loopback is operated on E1 and
optical ports, AIS is sent downstream.
Facility loopback tests traffic connections to and from E1/E3/DS3

port connections on the network element and are generally
performed on site.
Figure 14-1 shows a facility loopback for testing the E1/E3 port
connections at network elements 1 and 2.

CAUTION
Traffic affecting process
Facility loopback and terminal loopback are traffic affecting.
Application of facility or terminal loopback on the near end port (with

respect to NMS server) of a remotely managed node will result in loss
of connectivity with the node and the downstream network. Hence,
while applying loopbacks, the node should be provided with IBC
protection or should have a personal placed at the site of the node to
avoid loss of connectivity.
Figure 14-3 shows the connectivity of the nodes to the NMS server.
Facility or terminal loopbacks can be created at the near end ports of
Node A without loss of connectivity due to presence of Ethernet
connectivity. But, provisioning loopbacks at the near end and far end
ports of Node B and Node C will lead to loss of connectivity to the
downstream network.

14.8 Configuration Management
The user interface provides options for configuration backup and
storing it on a selected server.
Backup configuration is used for saving the network element

configuration. This command copies the existing snapshot of the
configuration and stores it to the server mentioned using the FTP
protocol. In case of backup failure, a backup operation failure alarm
is raised.
Restore configuration is used for restoring the configuration to the

network element when the configuration data gets corrupted. This
command obtains the configuration, using the FTP protocol from a
remote server, performs checks and accepts the configuration if
applicable to the network element. In case of failure, a restore failure
alarm is raised.
Restoring the configuration can be done by either restoring from

remote machine via FTP or from the local machine using HTTP.
The network element gives an error message for the cause of the
failure. The messages may be due to one of the following reasons:
• Username, password authentication failure

• Unable to reach the server IP address.
• Incorrect permissions to transfer file.
TJ100CPr4
The network element can recover from restoration operation failures

due to network unavailability by using FTP timeout of 15 seconds.
The network element verifies the validity of the restored

configuration. The activation of restored configuration shall be
non-service affecting for the unaffected configuration. If the
verification fails, the restored configuration is rejected and
configuration restore failure alarm is raised.
The network element raises an alarm on detecting configuration

corruption or version mismatch without affecting traffic.
Note : It is recommended to perform a network element database backup on a daily

basis.
14.8.1 Taking backup of configuration data
