startup, the time zone frequency display, and several general options for your desktop.
Alarm Severity Threshold

Used to set the threshold for alarm display. Alarms with severities above and equal to the
threshold are included in the alarm summary displayed in the cards. Alarms with severities
below the configured threshold are excluded from the alarm summary displayed in the cards.
For example, if critical is selected, only critical alarms are indicated in the cards. If major is
selected, critical and major alarms are displayed.
By default, the threshold warning is set which means that all alarms are included in the alarm
summary.

A42022-L5957-C255-1-7619
33
Operation
The syntax is not case sensitive.
Script statements:
ObjectInstance (addressing of object instances) . Action (Parameters);
ObjectInstance (addressing of object instances) . Set (Attribute, Parameters);
// <Comment> or /* <comment> */
An object instance is clearly identified by the following values:

ObjectClass
subrackNumber
slotReference
containerIndex
objectIndex
The ObjectClass is always given as a symbolic keyword followed by the remaining 4
values enclosed in brackets.
Example:
IFQ2G5(1, 306, 1, 1);
refers to the IFQ2G5 card in slot # 306.
A SET invoke operation on an attribute can only be invoked with an objectInstance. The
keyword "Set" is used in the statements to configure values of attributes. The syntax for
performing a SET invoke is:
objectInstance.Set (Attribute, Value).
Example:
IFS2G5(1, 303).Set(EnableTransferHistoryFileAfterStartup,enabled);
An action can only be invoked with an objectInstance. The keyword "Action" is used in
the statements to perform action invokes. The syntax for performing an ACTION invoke
is:
objectInstance.Action (Parameters);
Example:
EquipmentManager(1,211,1,1).ConfigureRequiredEquipping(((1, 306),
CardEquipped((IFS10G,"MspProtection"))));
The "Wait" command allows the user to specify a certain amount of time that the script
configuration execution procedure must hold before executing the next command or
commands. The syntax for the Wait command is:
Wait(<time interval between 1 to 10000 seconds>);
Example: Wait(1000);
The "Loop" command allows the user to specify blocks of instructions that must be
repeated a certain number of times. It adds to the scripting functionality the support of
execution cycles. The syntax for the Loop command is:
Loop(<number of times to repeat the block between 1 to 10000 or * to repeat until a
user stop>);
<Qst command 1>;
...
<Qst command n>;
EndLoop;
Examples:
Loop(50);
ne(1,254,1,1,1).Set(powerSupplyDuplication,enabled);
EndLoop;
Loop(*);

Syntax for the complex QST types:

SEQUENCE
(element 1, element 2, ... element n)
SEQUENCE OF BYTE
(byte 1, byte 2, ... byte n) or (<text>)
Example for ACTION:
ethernetLinkage(1,511).createReachableAddressEthernet(("SIEMENSAG"),
0x1, external, (0x11, 0x22,0x33,0x44,0x55,0x66), enabled);
SET OF
(element 1, element 2, ..., element n)
CHOICE

Operation
7.6 SF2G5/SF10G Limitations in the Single-row Subrack
SF2G5 / SF10G - 2Mbit Connection - Slot 301

The LO switch fabric cards SF2G5 / SF10G must be inserted at slot 301 to allow cross
connections to the 2-Mbit/s ports of the IF2M cards (slots 202, 205, 208, 211)
In case the LO switch fabric card SF2G5 / SF10G is inserted at another traffic slot, VC12
cross connections are possible but no 2-Mbit/s port of the IF2M cards (slots 202, 205, 208,
211) can be cross connected.
Workaround:
For connecting the 2 Mbit/s ports of the IF2M cards (slots 202, 205, 208, 211), insert and
configure the LO switch card SF2G5 / SF10G always at slot 301 of the SURPASS hiT 7070
SC subrack.
For cross connecting VC12 signals only, the LO switch card SF2G5 / SF10G can be inserted
and configured at any other traffic slot.
SF10G - VC4 Connection - Slot 301

Limitation:
In case the LO switch card SF10G is used at Slot 301 the VC4 containers #49, #50, #51 and
#52 are invisible.
Reason:
Those four VC4 containers are used for the fixed connection of 2-Mbit/s ports 1 - 252 (4 x 63
ports = 4x VC4) to the slot 301, so that the 2-Mbit/s cross connection can be done.
Workaround:
If all 64 VC4 containers will be needed the LO switch card SF10G has to be inserted at
another traffic slot but not on slot 301.
SF2G5/SF10G - Card Protection - Slot 301/302

In case the LO switch card SF2G5/SF10G on slot 302 shall be used as Card Protection (CP)
it has to be configured during first commissioning. Changing the card type of the LO switch
card SF2G5/SF10G on slot 302 from "working" to "protection" is not possible if cross
connections already exists.

8 Timing
8.1 Synchronous Equipment Clock Configuration
This window is accessible via the Module View, by using the context menu of the NE symbol > SEC...
In this window, you can configure timing sources that are used for synchronization. Each
timing source besides internal timing can be configured according to priorities. Internal timing
always has the lowest priority. The timing source, when available, with the highest priority is
used for the timing derivation.
A green hook or red cross symbol next to the T0 Prio field indicates the lockout state. If a
timing source is locked out (red cross), it is generally not available as a synchronization
reference.
A42022-L5957-C255-1-7619
69
Operation
You can toggle the lockout state by clicking this lockout symbol separately for each T1 and T3
timing source.
Currently selected timing sources for the clock pulses T0 and T4 are displayed by means of
an arrow. The arrow displays the mode as set in the T0 and T4 configuration windows. For
further information, see below ("Forced").
The SA bit used for SSM evaluation / insertion is configurable independently for T3 and T4.
The SA bit configuration is only effective with 2-Mbit/s mode operation.
Note:
T4 Clock (T4C): The T4C output transmits a 2048 kHz signal and is squelched in case of:
Reference source is not available in fource mode
None of the configured reference sources is available in automatic or manual mode
Manually by the operator command "OFF"
In the mode "forced T0" if T0 is in holdover or free running mode
QL enabled (use SSM for selection) and the quality of the reference clock is lower than
the configured threshold; selectable thresholds are: 2-PRC, 4-SSU_T, 8-SSu_L, 11SEC, 0-off
T4 Data (T4D): The T4D output transmits a 2048 kbit/s signal (CRC4) and will be squelched
in the same cases as T4C too. For the squelch state, the clock will be diverted from T0, and
"DNU" will be inserted into the SA-bit (SA=FFh).
The modes involved are as follows:

Auto:
The system selects from the configured timing sources, according to the assigned priority, the
best clock pulse. For the same quality, the value of the set priority is decisive (1 = very good/6
= very bad/do not use).
Forced:
You can determine which timing source is used. If the selected timing source fails, a second
arrow displays Selected in the Holdover field. The Forced arrow remains on the selected
timing source. If the timing source can be used again, the second arrow disappears after
expiry of the Wait to Restore Time. Here assigned priorities have no meaning.
The jump from higher timing quality to lower timing quality is accepted immediately.
The jump back from lower timing quality to higher timing quality is only accepted after expiry
of the time set in the Wait to Restore Time box. This applies to the modes Forced and Auto.
If an existing synchronization with a configurable set of reference clock pulse sources is no

longer available, the SEC switches from synchronous operation to the Holdover mode.
If the SEC cannot be synchronized with any external clock pulse source, it changes to the
Free Running mode.

VC4 Trail Trace tab:

The Trail Trace tab is used to display and configure the trail trace identifier. The three types
transmitted, expected and received TTI are displayed.
TTI Processing
There are two modes:
Enabled:
Received TTI (Path trace) is supervised and the TIM alarm will raise in case of received TTI is
not equal
with the expected TTI or the received trace is not an ASCII text.
Disabled:
Received TTI is monitored but in case of TIM, no TIM alarm will raise.
TIM Consequent Actions
Enabled:
TIM will cause a traffic interruption with insertion of AIS into all LO VCs of this VC4. For ETH
cards, the AIS insertion causes a remote insertion towards the ETH port (Tx).
TIM will suppress the alarms RDI or SD, if two alarms at the same time occur.
There is no influence for RDI/REI insertion.
There is no influence to PM counters.
Disabled:
TIM will not interrupt the traffic.
TIM will not suppress RDI or SDI, if two alarms at the same time occur.
Transmitted / Expected
ASCII: The configurable character string of the AP ID consists of 7-bit ASCII characters within
the range 20h to 7Eh (32DEC to 126DEC). This includes the required subset of characters
according to G831. Any remaining characters (which are not typed by the operator) are
automatically filled in with binary zero values. The 1st byte HEX field contains the CRC-7

not used ports.
Port Monitoring State/Port Operation State

Displays the enabled or disabled port monitoring state/port operation state.
If the supervision mode is automatic, the monitoring state goes enabled, as soon as a signal
at the ETH input is present. Subsequently the state stays enabled, independent whether the
ETH signal is present.
Asymmetric Flow Control (to link partner)

If the asymmetric flow control is enabled, pause frames will be generated and transmitted to
the link partner if
- ETH Rx traffic exceeds the configured bandwidth in the ETH-GFP assignment table of the
"GFP Assignment" window,
- ETH Rx traffic exceeds the configured VC capacity in the GFP-SDH assignment table of the
"GFP Assignment" window,
- with subchanneling, when the sum of Rx traffic exceeds the VC capacity.
Notes: Incoming pause frames (send by the link partner) will be dropped. Hence the NE will
not reduce the speed.
Attention: If 2 ETH ports of the SURPASS hiT 7070 are connected with each other, then the
following will occur:
A42022-L5957-C255-1-7619
153
Operation
In case of excessive ETH traffic inputs, both partners will send pause frames, but neither will
react to these pause frames. Therefore, frames may be lost with high bit rate und different
admission control or VC capacity.
Auto-negotiation (only with IFQGBE, IFQGBEB, IFOFE-E or IFOFES-E card)

Normal position is "On advertised 10 Mbit/s or 100 Mbit/s". Only for older LAN / WAN
equipment which didnt support an "Automatic Negotiation Control" the setting should be "Off
Forced 10 Mbit/s" or "Off Forced 100 Mbit/s".
Remote Fault Indication

Enabled:
Remote fault will be inserted into the outgoing ETH signal, if the SDH route is disturbed, or
the ETH port at the other end of the route receives Remote. If Remote is inserted, the ETH
link partner raises Remote alarm.
Furthermore, in case Remote fault is to be inserted into the outgoing ETH signal, the MAC on
the cards will get disabled completely. Therefore no Ethernet packets are sent any longer in
both directions (i.e. neither in receive nor in transmit direction). As a consequence also the
packet performance counters in ingress direction (i.e. ETH -> SDH) will not count any longer.
Note:
If more information about faults in the SDH link are to be required, it is advisable to enable the
SSF and RDI fault indication on the Ethernet cards.
The SSF will indicate an SDH problem on the egress direction (SDH --> ETH) which will
consequently lead to the remote fault indication to the client port.
Furthermore RDI will be inserted in the SDH TX direction that will indicate the original sending
card that the downlink direction has a problem.
Disabled:
The Tx output signal will be switched OFF, if the SDH route is disturbed, or the ETH port at
the other end of the route receives Remote. If the port is switched OFF, the ETH link partner
raises LinkDown. This feature is useful if the link partner is a router which considers a
physical link down as one of the criteria for starting a re-routing process (e.g. a redundant
path is available).

P12 Mapping Supervision

Port Connection Supervision
disabled = no supervision
enabled = supervision on SD, EXC and LOF in mapping direction
The supervision is only relevant, if the port monitoring is enabled.
If the incoming 2-Mbit/s signal is used as timing source for the clock pulses T0 and
T4, the signal must be framed and the port connection supervision must be enabled.
CRC-4 Monitoring
This attribute allows to enable/disable the CRC monitor function in mapping direction.
If the switch is
disabled, no CRC-4 communication alarm will be generated. The CRC processing is
only relevant, if the port connection supervision and the port monitoring are enabled.
P12 Demapping Processing

Supervision/Retiming
This attribute allows to enable the retiming function for outgoing 2 Mbit/s signals. If enabled,
the 2-Mbit/s signal in mapping direction is synchronized to the T0 clock. The signal is then
supervised on AIS, EXC and LOF. If disabled, the outgoing 2-Mbit/s signal is not supervised
and is transmitted transparently.
The retimed signal can have frame slips, these slips depends on the frequency offset
between the origin PDH signal and the T0. If retiming is enabled, the T0-configuration of the
SEC-configuration is not to be configured as "Free Running" or "Holdover" mode. So a
reference clock source must be available. If not the outgoing 2-Mbit/s signal will have AIS.
CRC-4 Insertion/Monitoring
This attribute allows to enable/disable the CRC processing function in demapping direction. If
the checkbox is Disabled, no CRC-4 communication alarm will be generated. The CRC
Processing attribute is only relevant, if the retiming Switch Demapper NE and the termination
port monitoring are enabled. The supervision of AIS, EXC and LOF is only relevant, if the
termination port monitoring is enabled.

23.1 VLAN Functionality
General remarks on VLAN functionality

VLAN functionality is supported by the IFQGBEB (optical) and IFQGBEB-E (electrical) cards.
These card types can be configured in 3 different modes.
1. Point to point mode (P2P)

All 4 ETH ports working P2P like IFQGBE /-E cards.
2. VLAN C mode
Cards are running with 2 independent VLAN Concentrators:
VLAN C1 on gigabit ETH port #1
VLAN C2 on gigabit ETH port #3
ETH ports #2 and #4 are switched OFF in this mode.
There is a fixed relation between Concentrator -- GFP Group -- VC as follows:
ETH port #1 - VLAN C1 -- GFP group #1 - #8 -- 8x AU4 channels of range 1-16.
ETH port #3 - VLAN C2 -- GFP group #9 - #16 -- 8x AU4 channels of range 17-32.
3. Mixed Mode
Cards are running with 2 ports point to point (P2P) mode and one port with VLAN
concentrator functionality as follows:
ETH port #1 and #2 - P2P mode -- GFP group #1 or #2 -- AU channels of range 1-16
ETH port #3 - VLAN C2 -- GFP group #9-16 -- 8x AU4 channels of range 17-32
ETH port #4 - switched OFF
Change between the 3 different modes requires a deconfiguration of the already applied
card configuration.
Uplink and Downlink functionality

On VLAN modes it is distinguished between uplink and downlink.
Uplink is related to the gigabit ports ETH #1 and #3 of IFQGBEB /-E, that the concentrators
C1 and C2 are internally connected to.
Downlink is related to the VCs, that they can be assigned to the concentrators GFPs.
These VCs carrying ethernet frames through GFP encapsulation can be crossconnected via
the SDH network to the so called downlink port on other ethernet cards.
Basic functionality of the concentrators from downlink VCs to uplink port (upstream
direction):
Receiving ethernet frames on assigned VCs with GFP encapsulation
Determination of VLAN ID for received frame according to user defined table (Add VLAN
ID Assignment)
A42022-L5957-C255-1-7619
243
Decapsulating ethernet frame (removal of GFP header)
Inserting of VLAN Tag in ethernet frame
Sending out tagged frame on gigabit uplink
Processing of up to 8 GFP groups
Processing of up to 8 subchannels per GFP group
Operation
Basic functionality of the concentrators from uplink port to downlink VCs (downstream
direction):
Receiving of VLAN tagged frame on gigabit uplink port
CRC and VLAN tag present check
Determination of downlink VC - GFP channel for received tagged ethernet frame

according to user derfined table (Add VLAN ID Assignment)
Removal of VLAN tag
Removal of ETH frames with not determined VLAN tag
Encapsulating of ethernet frame into GFP frames
Mapping GFP encapsulated ethernet frame in assigned downlink VC
Note: On the downlink VC, only VC3 or VC3-2v can be assigned.

Regarding the Concatination Config for VLAN modes its therefore recommended to use
template 18 in case of VLAN C mode and template 19 or 20 in case of Mixed mode.
Tag interpretation in VLAN modes

VLAN Tag format accoding to 802.1q:
Type Field
Ethertype 0x8100 will be inserted in upstream direction and is expected for tagged
frames received on gigabit uplink port towards downstream
Priority Field
not interpreted in downstream direction (untagging)
set to zero in inserted VLAN tag in upstream direction (tagging)
CFI Field
not interpreted in downstream direction (untagging)
set to zero in inserted VLAN tag in upstream direction (tagging)
244
A42022-L5957-C255-1-7619
Operation
VLAN ID
1 ... 4094 freely configurable
Stacked VLANs or VLAN tunneling is supported, but there is no support for structured VLANs
(i.e. 4095x4095 VLAN IDs for interpreting two subsequent VLAN headers in one Frame).
Downstream VLAN tagged frames received on the gigabit uplink port which are shorter than
68 bytes (64 ... 67 Bytes including VLAN tag) will be extended to 64 byte length again after
the removal of the VLAN tag in the concentrator (padding). This extension is done by adding
a maximum of 4 bytes at the end of the frame before the FCS bytes.
Mutual influence of downstream speeds through flowcontrol on gigabit upstream port

Ports of IFQGBEB and IFQGBEB-E cards belonging to a VLAN concentrator domain do not
support admission control like IFQGBE and IFQGBE-E and the Point to Point (P2P) mode of
VLAN cards do. This means that an incoming VLAN stream on the gigabit uplink port
assigned to a downstream capacity of VC3 or VC3-2v cannot be limited by means of
admission control. Therefore care has to be taken at the device connected to the gigabit
upstream port, to not overrun the assigned downstream VCs. This goal can be reached
through limiting the data rate of such a stream on the router / server site according to the
assigned downstream VC capacity.
If a downstream VC is overrunned, two scenarios have to be considered:
Asymmetric Flow Control is enabled on the gigabit uplink port.

MAC control frames (Pause) will be send out on the gigabit port. Since pause frames
cannot be classified all the VLAN streams of the device connected to the gigabit uplink
port will be slowed down to the speed of the overrunned downstream VC.
Asymmetric Flow Control is disabled on the gigabit uplink port.

Frames in downstream direction will be discarded in case the assigned downstream VC
capacity is exceeded.

23.2 VLAN C Traffic Flow
an IFQGBEB card symbol -> Configuration -> Card... -> VLAN Concentrator Functionality
State : VLAN C -> Apply
In the port list by using the context menu of the IFQGBEB port symbol -> Subview...
This window shows the VLAN C traffic flow and gives an overview of the assigned VCs to
GFP relation. Context menues of the ETH port (ETH Configuration), VLAN C IDs (Assigned
VLAN IDs Information), GFP groups (GFP Frames Performance) and assigned VCs (VC4
Selection with PF2G5 or ETH Cards) can be directly accessed from here. The dotted line
between GFP group and VC symbol indicates that for this GFP group no VC assignment has
yet been done. The GFP groups are fixed assigned to the VLAN concentrator -> no dotted
line. Each VLAN concentrator has a separate traffic flow window.
Note for VLAN operation:

The VLAN functionality only makes sense if more than one stream/VLAN are used. For these
point-to-multipoint applications QoS provided by an external (egress) traffic shaper at the
uplink port is mandatory. Therefore the L2 service multiplexer function requires external (i.e.
BRAS, Router) traffic shaping. This means it is absolutely MANDATORY that for the VLAN
concentrator application egress traffic shaping per VLAN including max. burst size is
implemented in the uplink device (i.e. a BRAS in case of the DSL-scenario). This will avoid
head-of-line blocking in case of multiple VLAN-streams sharing the common GbE interface.
If this is not done, then an overflow of the sending GbE VLAN card's ingress buffer as well as
the egress buffers of a receiving FE card may happen. By this packet loss will not be
avoidable (depending on the situation):
246
A42022-L5957-C255-1-7619
Operation
Packet loss may happen if flow control on the GbE VLAN card is disabled and the
connected BRAS does not implement the rate shaping on its egress side. The reasons
for this frame drop are FIFO overflows of the sending GbE VLAN card's ingress buffer
as well as the receiving FE card's egress buffer.
Packet loss may happen if flow control on the GbE card is enabled and the connected
BRAS does not implement the rate shaping on its egress side. Here only overflows of
the receiving FE card's egress buffer may happen. Nevertheless the enabled flow
control has influence on all eight GbE VLAN ingress buffers (one buffer for each of the
possible 8 downlink ports): If for one VLAN queue the ingress buffer overflows, the
activated pause frame mechanism will stop all other queues as well (i.e. also the
incoming frames to be sent in other FIFOs).

The subchannelling column determines if the GFP frame will have an extension header. An
extension header is required if the GFP group contains at least 2 ports.
Note: Sink and source must have the same configuration, otherwise all frames will be
dropped.
On VLAN C mode GFP group #1- #8 are fixed assigned to VLAN Concentrator 1 on ETH
uplink port #1.
GFP group #9 - #16 are fixed assigned to VLAN Concentrator 2 on ETH uplink port #3.
On VLAN uplink port #1 (GFP group #1 - #8) VC3 or VC3-2v of AU4 channels 1 - 16 can be
assigned.

Operation
On VLAN uplink port #3 (GFP group #9 - #16) VC3 or VC3-2v of AU4 channels 17 - 32 can

If subchannelling is enabled each GFP subchannel will be tagged in upstream direction with
its respective VLAN ID as configured in the Assigned VLAN IDs Information window.
In VLAN C mode with 8 GFP groups per concentrator and a maximum of 8 VC subchannels
per GFP group, up to 64 (8x8) downlinkports can be assigned to one VLAN concentrator.
These downlinkports are VLAN tagged and multiplexed on the gigabit uplink port #1 or #3
(uplink direction). In the down link direction the same principle applies with untagging and
mapping frames on the max. 64 downstream VCs.
Note: In VLAN concentrator admission control (bandwidth limitation) can not be configured as
in IFQGBE /-E cards or P2P mode.
Therefore care has to be taken on the gigabit uplink (port #1 or #3) in downstream direction to
not overrun the downstream VC capacity or the speed of the downlink port on the other end of
the VC.

ETH-GFP Assignment
Through this table, an Ethernet port is assigned to a GFP group which can consist of one or
more GFP channels. Subchanneling is implemented if several Ethernetports are assigned to
a single GFP group.
Assign ETH ports to the GFP groups (if provided) and enter the Bandwidth for each ETH port.
The value range depends on the port type:

1...10 Mbit/s in 1-Mbit/s steps.
Fast Ethernet 100Base-TX:
Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base-SX/LX:
Notes:
The IFOFES-E card does not support admission control (bandwidth limitation). This can be
done by adding or removing VC12 containers of a virtual concatenation group (2 Mbit/s
granularity).
The sum of the bandwidths of all ports assigned to one GFP group must not exceed the
capacity of the assigned Virtual Container (VC).
Approx. values: VC3: 50 Mbit/s, VC3-2v: 100 Mbit/s, VC4: 155 Mbit/s, VC4-4v: 622 Mbit/s,
VC4-7v: 1000 Mbit/s.

Window Timer [5..1009]/10s
The Window timer specifies the maximum time between windows updates used for this
connection. The window timer therefore is used to send AK TPDU when there is no activity on
the transport connection, in order to avoid a premature disconnection by the peer entity. This
parameter also controls the inactivity timer. If no acknowledgement PDUs from the opposite
station are received for a time computed as the product of the Window Timer and the
Maximum No. of Transmissions, Layer 4 quits the connection.

planning.
Note:
The NSAP address has to be unique.
System ID
The System ID is 6 Bytes long.
Note:
The System ID as part of the NSAP address has to be planned by the DCN planning team.

SURPASS hiT 7070.
Column
Description
Index
Unique identifier of the interface.

This index must be used also for identification
of unnumbered links in OSPF configuration.
(Identifier = SNMP-index)
Interface
Interface name.
Possible Interface names are :
eth0:
for Ethernet Interface
(unnumbered index 2)
A42022-L5957-C255-1-7619
335
Operation
lo:0:
for Local loopback interface
(unnumbered index 1)
dcc:
Point-to-point interface over DCCM or DCCR.
Each device could be configured as
numbered or unnumbered interface
IP Address
The local IP address of the interface.

The default value for the interface is 0.0.0.0 in
this case the interface is not configured.
Once a local loopback address has been
defined in the SURPASS hiT 7070, it is not
possible any more to reset a configured IP
address back to 0.0.0.0. If the address 0.0.0.0
is assigned, the NE assigns the address of
lo:0 to this device. If the IP address of an
interface is equal to the address of the local
loopback interface lo:0 this interface is treated
as unnumbered interface. If the IP address is
not equal to the address of lo:0 or to the
address of any other interface this interface is
called a numbered interface. Every time that
the operator tries to disable an IP interface by
configuring its IP address to 0.0.0.0, the local
loopback IP address will be set.
+ to disable IP on the interface set this
interface to OSI only, using the "Linkage
Config" window.
For Ethernet interface: SCOH symbol ->
Configuration -> MCF -> Ethernet ->
Configuration, then select OSI.
For DCC interfaces: SCOH symbol ->
Configuration -> MCF -> DCC, then select a
DCC interface and press the right-handmouse button, select "Configuration", then
select OSI.
Subnet Mask
Subnet mask associated with the IP address

of this interface.
It defines the network that this interface
belongs to. If OSPF is enabled on this
interface the subnet mask has to be the same
as set for the connected peer interface(s).
Dest IP Address
The destination IP address of the interface

referenced by the Index.
For the Ethernet interface the destination has
to be the same as the source. For DCC links
normally it is not necessary to enter any data
in this field. The destination address will be
learned via PPP protocol.

Multicast Frames
Pause frames which are triggered by the flow control, are counted as well.
Bad Frames CrC Error Rx
Corrupted frames which enter the port.
Dropped Frames Tx
Frames which are coming from the SDH side, and are being dropped. This may have the
following reasons:
The port is set to multichannel, the opposite side sends without being set to multichannel
mode, or vice versa.
The GFP Assignment ID (Extension header) is wrong.
Frames coming from SDH side are corrupted because of signal degrade.
Invalid VLAN or Untagged Frames (in case of IFQGBEB or IFQGBEB-E in VLAN modes)
Frames received at the gigabit port in downstream direction tagged with a VLAN ID not
assigned (unknown) to any downlink GFP channel or that are untagged.

39.2 NMS NE Password
This window is accessible via the Main Menu -> Security -> Change Password...
The NE stores 3 individual passwords for the operating systems:

OS, LCT and NCT.
Each system can change its assigned password, i.e. OS can change only the OS password in
the NE, LCT can only change LCT password and NCT can only change the NCT password in
the NE. In addition, every operating system can reset the other passwords inside the NE to
the default password.
For all OS, LCT and NCT the default password is: NEPASSWORD
As usual, when changing the current password, the operator must enter the current password
and type the new password twice.
Password build rule:
The password must have 8 ASCII printable characters at minimum and 15 at maximum.
Independently if it is successful or not, each attempt to connect and to change a password will
be written into the Activity Log. This Activity Log can be requested by the operator.
Note:
When changing the OS (NMS) password via the LCT, the operator has to update the new
password manually in the DCN properties of the Network Element Controller (NEC).
If this is not done, any new initialization of NEC will fail.

42.7 How to Configure ETH Cards and Debugging
Configuring ETH cards:

1. Set the dedicated MUX structure (only IFOFES-E):
Select the card -> Configuration -> VC4 Subview... -> VC4 (Mux) #n -> Subview -> VC4
-> Configuration -> Mux Preparation.
2. Set the concatenation (only IFOFES-E):
Select the card -> Configuration -> Concatenation...
3. Select a template (not with IFOFES-E):
You should think before, which VCs (capacity) are being used and then set a template,
cause a belated modification is only possible with traffic interruption of all ports.
Select the card -> Configuration -> Concatenation...
Note: Adjacent VC4-4v can be changed over, via "Modify Template", to VC4-2v.. VC46v. The total sum must be always 8 VC4.
4. Setting of Bandwidth and Subchanneling:
Select the card -> Configuration -> GFP Assignment.
5. Switching the VCs:
E.g. for a VC12-5v, 3 VC12 are switched via one SDH card/port and the other 2 VC12
via another SDH card/port. Therefore, not a VC12-5v must be selected, but the
particular VC12s in the cross connection window.
6. Concerning LCAS:
For all involved VCs, LCAS must be activated.
ETH traffic is not running:

1. Is the ETH link o.k.?
Check the ETH Configuration window.
2. Check the "Signal Label" and the "TTI" with the VC4 Configuration window.
When virtual concatenation is configured, check all single VCs (if o.k. the SDH
connection is sure).
3. Both partners must have the same subchanneling entries (on or off). See GFP
Assignment window.
4. If subchanneling is configured, check that channel ID is identical with both partners.
5. Are VCAT groups at both partners configured the same way (both with LCAS activated
or not; no mixed way)?
6. With the Ethernet Packet Performance window, you can see, wether port traffic is
coming/going (Rx/Tx). If all is dropped at Tx, then probably the subchanneling or the
subchannel ID is wrong configured (Sink and Source port is not the same).

2. To remove the complete protection group, right-click the IF2M (CP) card -> Card
Protection -> Remove Group.
Right-click the slot number symbol and select Empty or Empty-Auto.
Note: Avoiding IF2M Traffic loss during exchange of an IF2M card in the card protection
scheme
Before plugging a "new/replaced" card into a working slot of an existing IF2M card protection
scheme, this card needs to get "deactivated". This means the operator needs to remove this
card from the required equipping. By this the card will be switched off. A switched-off card will
not perform an optimistic startup, so this card cannot destroy traffic in a protection group. A
deactivation can be done by one of the following methods:
a) If the card has to be transferred and was already plugged into an NE, the current slot shall
be set to "empty" while the card is plugged. By this action the card gets switched off (i.e.
deactivated).
b) If the card was not plugged into an NE before (coming from the spare), it shall be put into
the respective working slot, it needs to get plugged into another free slot first, which is
configured to "empty" (not "auto-empty" !!). Also by this the card gets switched off (i.e.
deactivated).
If this is still not acceptable, then the only advise is, that the card shall not be put into the
respective working slot. Instead of this it shall be plugged in the protection slot and have it
started-up here. By this no traffic hits will occur because an optimistic startup in the protection
slot will not cause any traffic hits.
If you have to do this, please make sure that there are no faults on the Protection
group!

51.1 How to Replace an MMC and/or the SCOH
The MMC must be exchanged in case of an Flash SW alarm at the SCOH card, see SCOH,
CLU, NE and Subrack Fault Clearance
The replacement of a defect MMC by a new one (with no data), must be done with an
operating SCOH.
The current NE-VCDB is being copied automatically to the new MMC.
The password data, license and subrack label are not automatically transformed to the MMC.
To adopt these data to the new MMC, they must be inserted via the LCT again.
If an SCOH is replaced, the old MMC (placed at the front panel of the SCOH) must be
adopted before the new SCOH is inserted. The MMC data belongs always to the subrack!
Passwords, license and subrack label are set to default after an SCOH reboot.
Also the NE-VCDB is being lost after a Power Off (pulling out the SCOH).
Note:
The SCOH contains a backup battery. See the ITMN manual how to activate and handle that
battery.
