In this window, the last switch information can be retrieved.

Click <Refresh> to get latest information.

Select <New Command> in the drop-down menu and click <Apply> to perform new command.

The available commands have:

<manual switching ring>: This command performs the ring switch for the normal traffic from the working channels to the protection channels for the span between the node at which the command is initiated and the adjacent node to which the command is destined. This switch occurs if the protection channels are not in an SD condition and are not satisfying an equal or higher priority bridge request (including failure of the protection channels).

<forced switching ring>: This command performs the ring switch for normal traffic from the working channels to the protection channels for the span between the node at which the command is initiated and the adjacent node to which the command is destined. This switch occurs regardless of the state of the protection channels, unless the protection channels are satisfying a higher priority bridge request.

<lockout protection>: This command prevents the ring wraps anywhere for any protection activity and prevents using ring switches anywhere in the ring. If any ring switches exist in the ring, this command causes the switches to drop. If there is a span switch for this span, it is dropped. Thus, all ring switching is prevented (and pre-empted), and span switching is prevented only on the locked-out span.

<clear>: This command clears the externally initiated command and WTR at the node to which the command was addressed. The NE-to-NE signaling following removal of the externally initiated commands is performed using the NR code.

The latest launched command is listed in <Last Command> field. The execution result of the latest command is shown in the <Status of last command> field.

There are two types of command execution results:

<Command Successful> — launched command succeed

<Command denied> — launched command failed for some reason

16 Performance Monitoring Management

16.1 Overview of Performance Monitoring

16.1.1 SDH Performance Monitoring

16.1.1.1 PM in Regeneration Section (G.829)

Definitions

Block: for STM-N (N=1, 4, 16, 64), the N× BIP-8 contained in the B1 bytes pertains to N blocks. Thus, the signal structure of an RS in an STM-N comprises N blocks within a frame.

Errored Block (EB): A block in which one or more bits are in error.

Errored Second (ES): A one second period with one or more errored blocks or at least one defect.

Severely Errored Second (SES): A one-second period which contains →=X% errored blocks or at least one defect. SES is a subset of ES.

Constant Severely Errored Second (CSES): Period with consecutive SES.

Background Block Error (BBE): An errored block not occurring as part of an SES.

Unavailable Second (UAS): Ten consecutive SES seconds will cause the UAS to increase. Ten consecutive error free seconds will stop the UAS from increasing.

Out of Frame Second (OFS): A one-second period with one or more wrong frames.

UnAvailable Period (UAP): Timestamps indicating the beginning and end of an Unavailable Period. A period of unavailable time begins at the onset of ten consecutive SES events. These ten seconds are considered to be part of unavailable time. A new period of available time begins at the onset of 10 consecutive non-SES events. UAP is independent from 15m or 24h UAS. Even if the UAS was manually reset, UAP should retain its value.

Note: There is no mechanism for collecting far-end performance data for the RS layer.

Anomalies

An error on the whole block is indicated by the EDC (Error Detection Code).

Definitions

MS: The N× 24 BIP-1s contained in the B2 bytes of an SDH MS in an STM-N (N=1, 4, 16, 64) pertains to N× 24 in different blocks. Thus, the signal structure of a generic MS comprises N× 24 blocks within a frame.

MS Far End: The count contained in the M1 bytes (M1 and M0 bytes for STM-64) of an SDH MS in an STM-N (N=1, 4, 16, 64) pertains to one block (total of N × 24 different received blocks). Thus, the signal structure of a generic MS (far end) comprises 1 block within a frame.

16.1.1.4 PM for Pointer Justification Counts at Administrative Unit (G.707)

The AU pointer is contained in H1, H2 and H3 bytes, which are associated with, but not part of, the SDH Multiplexing Section Overhead. The N bits (bits 1-4) of the pointer carry the New Data Flag which allows an arbitrary change of the pointer value if that change is due to a change in the payload. The last ten bits (bits 7-16) of the H1 and H2 bytes carry the pointer value that designates the location of the byte where the VC-n begins. The H3 is the pointer action byte. The AU pointer provides a method of allowing flexible and dynamic alignment of the VC within the AU frame.

During normal operation, the NDF is disabled and set to "0110", and the pointer locates the start of the VC-n within the AU-n frame. If there is a frequency offset between the frame rate of the AUG and that of the VC-n, the pointer value will be incremented or decremented by one as needed, accompanied by a corresponding positive or negative justification byte or bytes. This operation is indicated by inverting five I-bits or D-bits of the pointer. The positive


A42022-L5966-B 53-1-7619139 139

justification bytes appear immediately after the last H3 byte in the AU-n frame and the negative justification bytes appear in the H3 bytes in the AU-n frame.

If there is a change in the payload, NDF is enabled by inversion of the N-bits to "1001". The new location of the VC-n begins at the first occurrence of the offset indicated by the new pointer. For AU-4 concatenation, the AU-n pointer is set to Concatenation Indication, "1001" in bits 1-4 and ten "1"s in bits 7-16.

Currently PPJC and NPJC can be monitored only at AU-4.

Definitions:

PPJC - Positive Pointer Justification Count.

NPJC - Negative Pointer Justification Count.

Defects:

LOP - Loss of Pointer.

17 Alarm and Event Management

17.1 Overview of Alarms There are five alarm severity level values defined: Critical, Major, Minor, Warning, and Cleared.

• Critical—Service-interrupting alarms.

• Major—Service-affecting alarms.

• Minor—Non-Service-affecting alarms that could potentially become service-affecting. The user needs to inspect the system faults and provide fixes in order to prevent the alarm from deteriorating to Major.

• Warning—Non-Service-affecting. Information is presented to the user for the purpose of maintenance.

• Cleared—the alarm severity level is Cleared.

There are five types of failures in the system:

• Transmission Failure—Failures related to transmission status, such as LOS, LOF, LOP, and LOM.

• Quality of Service Failure—Failure related to system performance, such as response time too long, threshold crossing, and performance degradation.

• Equipment Failure—Failures related to hardware equipment.

• Processing Error Failure—Failures related to software or the fault processing, such as memory overflow, version incompatibility, software errors, program illegal interruption, NE configuration errors an inaccessible NE, AIS, TIM, REI, RDI, PLM, and UNEQ.

• Environmental Failure—Failures related to environment changes, such as unacceptable temperature and humidity, ventilation or cooling system faults, excessive vibration, and door open or closed.

Click <Print> to export all the events listed in the window to a file or print it. The detailed steps of exporting events are the same as those of alarms. (Refer to Chapter 17.4) Note: alarms are shown in several pages and one page can display at most 2000 alarms.

17.7.1 Interpreting the Node Event Log

There are three types of events defined in the system: Management, Hardware, and Software. The SURPASS hiT 7020 time-stamps every event and logs the event to a log file. TNMS-M SURPASS hiT 7020 LCT displays the system events through Event/Alarm Manager. Events listed in the event log detail the time and date the event occurred, the name of the event, the type of event, and a short description of the event. The Event about the communication between NE and LCT is recorded by LCT itself rather than getting from NE.

Events are purely informational and indicate a change in the status of the system related to managing and administrating the system, such as a user logging onto the node or a change to a configuration option.

17.7.2 Management Events

The attributes of the management events shall at least include: Event name, Timestamp, User name and privilege level, and Description.

19.6 Creating SNCP Between Two NEs Using Two Ports of MainBoard Sub-Network Connection Protection (SNCP) provides protection for a single VC-N circuit on the level of channel. In the transmission end, service is connected to two directions to send signals simultaneously. In the receiving end, NE selects best signal to receive. There are two channels used to transmit singles. One is working channel and another is protection channel.

When the working channel is failed, system will switch to the protection SNCP channel to receive services. For example, SNCP protection group is composed of four NE in Fig. 19.32. The channel through NE A, D and C is main path for VC-12 working channel, and the channel through NE A, B, and C is protection channel for this service.

Fig. 19.32 SNCP Example

To implement SNCP in the ring, follow the steps below to configure each NE:

Create bi-directional VC-12 level cross connection between a certain E1 unit port and a certain TU12 of LC2 port of NE A.

Create bi-directional VC-12 level cross connection between the TU12 of LC1 port and the TU12 of LC2 port of NE D.

Create bi-directional cross connection on the level of VC-12 between a certain E1 unit port and the certain TU12 of LC1 port of NE C.

The following example is provided to create SNCP protection group using TNMS-M SURPASS hiT 7020 LCT:

Step1：Select <Configuration>→<SNCP Management> from the main menu, The <SNCP Management> window will appear. (See Fig. 19.33)


206 A42022-L5966-B 53-1-7619

Fig. 19.33 SNCP Management

Step2: Click <Create>, then the <Create and Config SNCP> window will appear. Click the drop-down menu of the lattice of capacity, select VC-12; Select bi-directional in service direction; Set No Revertive in Restore Mode; Set working card in the part of working TP to #1<MainBoard(S1)>; set working port to P01 and TU12 (#01,#02<112>). In fact, working TP is the slot of the cross connection line port of working channel in NE A. Set the value of protection TP to #1<MainBoard(S1)>, working port to P02 and TU12 (#01,#01<111>).


A42022-L5966-B 53-1-7619207 207

Fig. 19.34 Create and Config SNCP

Step3: Click <Apply>, the SNCP is created successfully. For NE A, the original bi-direction cross connection has the function of channel protection. NE A sends single to the line ports of LC1 and LC2 simultaneously and selects better single of LC1 and LC2 to receive. (See Fig. 19.35)

Fig. 19.35 SNCP Protection in NE A

Step4: Setup NE-D Cross-Connect configuration, NE-D CC config is almost same as step 2, just select the corresponding TU12 of LC1 port and the TU12 of LC2 port of NE D; the number of TU12 of NE-D should same to that of NE-A.

Step5:Setup NE-C Cross-Connect.

Note: The way to create channel protection of NE-C is almost same as that in NE-A, the difference is the working TP and protection TP is opposite to those of NE-A.

After creation of SNCP protection group, click <Query> in <SNCP Management> window (See Fig. 19.33) to view the existed SNCP protection group. Select the corresponding protection group, and click <Switch>. The <SNCP Switch> window will appear (See Fig.
