OPS-360 - Introduction

OPS-360 System FunctioningThe OPS-360 is the DTX-360 operator station, a SUN-based system designed toprovide the operator with state-of-the-art tools for managing the DTX-360.

The OPS-360 provides the following functions:

Fault Management - Alarm surveillance, event logging and display, fault location,and fault alert facilities.

Configuration Management - Manipulation of all aspects of the DTX-360.

Accounting Management - Produces reports as required.

Performance Management - Monitoring, control, and analysis of the concurrentcommissioning, operation and maintenance of multiple terminals.

Security Management - Authorization and authentication of users, audition ofoperator actions, access control management, and multiple-operator control.

The OPS-360 system enables you to perform the following tasks:

Monitoring the system, page 1-2

Configuring maps, page 1-2

Producing reports, page 1-3

1-2 92050005-04

Monitoring the SystemMonitoring the system is the most frequently performed task on the OPS-360. TheOPS-360 is designed to help identify potential problems in the communication flowand prevent or solve them as quickly as possible, keeping telephone users satisfied.In order to identify potential problems throughout the system, the user must be ableto view and access information from the global level down to the most detailed levelwith flexibility and speed.

For this purpose, the OPS-360 displays the status of its components at all levels, asseen in:

The Control Panel which displays the highest alarm level of the site.

The Site Window which displays the status of each cluster at the site.

The Cluster window which displays the status of each terminal in the cluster. Fromthis window, additional information and controls are available to manage theDTX-360 terminals.

Configuring MapsIn the OPS-360 system, a map is a set of system parameters that determines how thelocal terminal will function facing a terminal in a remote site.

While map configuration is probably the least frequently performed task on the OPS-360, it may be the most critical one. Improper configuration – such as maps that arenot synchronized with the far end – may prevent the system from working. To avoidthis, parameters should be set in conjunction with the far end. Proper communicationflow is completely dependent on a correctly tuned "handshake" of the terminals onboth sides of the wire. The map defines this "handshake".

92050005-04 1-3

For maintenance and protection purposes, maps are stored on three levels:

In the Map Library. All the maps, except the Background/Foreground maps, arestored here. Maps in the library may be edited and downloaded to any terminal asbackground maps.

As a background map stored in the terminal. The background map is a stand by map,ready for use when changed with the foreground map.

As a foreground map used by the terminal. The foreground map is stored in theterminal and used to determine how the terminal operates. To change the mapparameters, edit the background map and then change between foreground andbackground maps.

You can view and edit maps. If a given map is being edited by one user, it becomes"read-only" for other working OPS-360s in the network.

Producing ReportsYou can use the OPS-360 system to generate and produce various reports for:

Routine information such as traffic and system statistics.

Malfunction handling for listing and diagnosing problems.

Configuration Map Library

IntroductionA Configuration Map is a set of system parameters that determines how a near-endDTX-360 terminal will function facing a far-end terminal.

The Configuration Map Library is a data bank, containing all the named mapsassociated with each DCME site. To access the Configuration Map Library for editing orviewing, click the Config Lib tool icon on the Control Panel.

This will bring you to the Map Library window. This window enables you to store, loadand delete maps.

You can also edit a configuration map by specifying category parameters. Categoriesinclude Map Identification, Mode (DCME and N/W), Trunk Bit Streams and so on.

Note: Other Configuration Map operations, such downloading a configuration map to theBackground, editing background maps and enabling map exchanges between Foreground andBackground are accessible through the Cluster window, see Chapter 5. A Foreground Map is theconfiguration map used by a terminal. A Background Map is an alternate map, kept in the terminal tofacilitate a fast Configuration Map exchange with the Foreground Map.

This chapter describes the following topics:

The Map Library window , page 4-2, describes the window and its functions.

Editing a Configuration Map , page 4-7, describes the Configuration MapCategories window, editing conventions and the map categories provided.

A message box, below the Terminal Status displays, provides additionalinformation, such as Link Down and Out of Configuration .

When there is a map mismatch condition, a Map Mismatch (Background - Bg,Foreground - Fg or both) indication is displayed. An orange indicator is a warning that maps stored in the OPS-360 database are not identical tothe respective maps in the terminal’s flash memory. Mismatches may occur for theFg map, Bg map, or both maps. Mismatches are resolved by loading the requiredmaps to the terminal.

Note: When using the Switch Map option in the Map menu to exchange the Fg map with the Bg map,the Map Mismatch indicator will appear again following the operation. This is resolved byDownloading a library map into the terminal’s Bg map.

Note: To clear the Map mismatch message from a redundant terminal, all 18 maps (two for eachterminal) should be downloaded to the terminal. See “Synchronize Maps ”, page 5-25

When a terminal is Out of Configuration , its color changes to gray.


5-8 92050005-04

Note: A burst of events from a specific terminal may fill the input queue in the FM process to capacity.When this occurs, the OPS-360 option displays this terminal with a grid (net) on top of the alarmstatus color. This is called Reduced Monitoring mode.

When a terminal is in Reduced Monitoring mode:

• Request replies are fully processed.

• State change notifications of the terminal are fully processed.

• Statistic reports are fully processed

• No other event reports are processed. Instead, these events are written to anoutside text file and not logged in the event log.

File ManagementThe DBF files generated by the OPS are stored at a pre-defined directory at the OPS-360 station. The directory name may be set through the dbfConfig application.

DBF files are collected from the OPS-360 station by the third party system, throughFTP, for example. DBF files must be removed periodically (according to the settime interval) in order to save disk space.

Note : While the OPS-360 writes information to DBF files, these files cannot be accessed. Allinaccessible DBF files will carry the extension *.pre , indicating that they are currently being prepared.The database files may be accessed once the extension changes to *.dbf .

File StructureEach report has its own set of DBF files. Each DBF file includes the report recordsfrom the specified time interval at all the terminals at the site. The number ofrecords per report within the time interval depends on the STI value defined for theterminal configuration.
