l The T2000 V200R006C01 and V200R006C03 can be directly upgraded to V200R007C03


by using the upgrade wizard.
l In the Veritas hot standby and warm standby schemes, the version of the Veritas software
is changed from 4.1 to 5.0.
l In the case of the HA system (Veritas hot or warm standby), the T2000 supports a quick
installation of the Solaris operating system and its patch, and the HA software.
l In the Veritas hot standby scheme, the VCS no longer directly monitors the NMS processes.
The VCS monitors only the NMSServer and NMSAgent processes. With the NMSServer
process, you can start and stop the T2000, and monitor the status of the T2000 server. With
the NMSAgent process, you can ensure that the T2000 is shut down during the automatic
switching triggered by a T2000 failure. The service processes of the T2000 are monitored
on the System Monitor.
NOTE

With the preceding changes, the only difference between the operations on the T2000 for single server
and HA system schemes is in the operations to start and stop the T2000. The other operations to start
and stop the service processes of the T2000 between the two schemes are the same.
l In the function of backing up the NMS information (include the deployment information
about the T2000 and the database of the T2000). After the backup operation, the backup
data is saved simultaneously in the backup directory on the client of the NMS maintenance
suite.
l In the function of restoring the NMS information (include the deployment information
about the T2000 and the database of the T2000). In addition, cross-operating system, cross-
scheme (HA scheme or single server scheme) restoration is supported. In this case,
however, only the deployment information about the T2000 can be restored. The data of
the database cannot be restored.
l The T2000 supports the ability to import and export script files by subnet.
l The networkwide maintenance status indicator is optimized. When the maintenance status
indicator is on, no query is performed before a specific status category is specified for query.
l The T2000 supports the ability to manage DC user login.
l The T2000 supports the ability to modify the NE ID on the T2000.
l The T2000 supports the ability to configure the equipment to automatically enable LCT
access rights after the communication between the equipment and T2000 stops.

of accessing multiple clients. The server and client computers can be PCs or workstations. The
display of the T2000 screen on different operating systems is exactly the same.

NOTE

Client/server structure
The client/server structure refers to a structure where multiple terminals are connected with the server through
LAN or WAN. Users can operate on the clients, while a set of data saved on the server is shared networkwide.
The client of the T2000 implements the workstation function (WSF) of TMN for users to operate and manage
the transmission network.
The server of the T2000 implements the operating system function (OSF) of TMN, saving network data and
providing various management functions for the transmission network.
WSF and OSF
WSF is a concept related to the TMN architecture and enables conversion of the TMN information so that it can
be understood by users.
OSF is a concept related to the TMN architecture and enables the processing of telecom management
information, to monitor and control telecom functions (including the management function).

T2000 Client 1
...... T2000 Client N

T2000 Server

A maximum of 100 clients can access one server and be operated on at the same time. The
number of clients accessed to one server is related to not only the authority assigned by license
but also the hardware of the server. For the maximum number of clients connected to different
servers, refer to Table 7-2.

NOTE
The recommended number of clients for configuration should not be more than five, and other clients
should be mainly used for monitoring, to lower the probability of operation conflict among multiple clients.
l For operations on a per-NE basis, when different clients operate on different NEs, the number of clients
that can operate at the same time depends on the number of clients defined in the license only. For
operations of monitoring and querying, such as alarm monitoring, the number of clients that can operate
at the same time depends on the number of clients defined in the license only, and the maximum possible
number is 100.
l For operations at the network level, such as trail searching, trail creation, configuration data uploading,
consistency check of configuration data, and networkwide alarm synchronization, when one client
operates, the operated network resource is locked and other clients cannot perform the same operation
at the same time. In this way, data consistency is ensured.

5.1.2 Software Structure


The T2000 adopts an open software architecture and a modular structure.

The user can choose any client to log in to any server. The user can also query, configure, and
maintain the subnets managed by the server. By selecting the server to log in, the user has a
broad range in which to view and manage networks.
It should be noted that by using this method (logging in by using a single client), the user cannot
simultaneously log in to two or more servers to query or manage subnets managed by the servers.
Therefore, if the user needs to manage a network with a broad range, hierarchical network
management scheme should be used.

5.2.2 Software Structure


The T2000 adopts an open software architecture and a modular structure.
Figure 5-4 shows the architecture of the main modules. Table 5-13 briefly describes the name
and function of each main module.

5.3.4 Principles of Switching


This section describes the principles of switching the T2000 HA system (Veritas hot standby).
Normally, only the Sybase database application and T2000 application of the active workstation
are started, while those on the standby T2000 server are not. By using the VVR software,
unidirectional and real-time data replication at the memory device layer is realized between the
databases of the active and standby servers. That is, any data variation in the database of the
active server will be copied to the standby server in real time.
When the active server fails, VCS and GCO automatically start the Sybase database application
and the T2000 application on the standby server, and switch the active server to the standby one.
When the active server is restored to normal, VCS and GCO do not automatically start the Sybase
database application and the T2000 application on the active server. If you want to switch back
to the active server after the active server is restored to normal, you need to manually switch the
Sybase database application and the T2000 application from the standby server back to the active
server.

5.4.4 Principles of Switching


This section describes the principles of switching the T2000 HA system (Veritas warm standby).
Normally, only the Sybase database application and T2000 application of the active workstation
are started, while those on the standby T2000 server are not. By using the VVR software,
unidirectional and real-time data replication at the memory device layer is realized between the
databases of the active and standby servers. That is, any data variation in the database of the
active server will be copied to the standby server in real time.
When the active server fails, the switch to the standby server has to be manually performed.

5.5.4 Principles of Switching


This topic describes the protection switching principles of the T2000 HA system (Huawei 1:N
cold standby).
Huawei 1:N cold standby logically divides a secondary site to N virtual computers to create
redundancy for multiple primary sites, by using the remote data backup function of the T2000
database management tool and the remote file synchronization function of the network

Issue 01 (2009-06-30) Huawei Proprietary and Confidential 5-27

5 System Architecture Product Description for SDH

management system maintenance suite, in combination with the Zones function provided by the
Solaris 10 operating system. In this way, the standby function of Huawei 1:N cold standby is
achieved. On normal conditions, a primary site backs up the database to the secondary site by
using the T2000 management tool at the scheduled time. When you perform deployment
operations on the primary site, the network management system maintenance suite automatically
synchronizes files to the secondary site.

In the HA system (Huawei 1:N cold standby), data is not backed up in real time and switching
is also performed manually. When a fault occurs on a primary site, you need to manually switch
the primary site to the secondary site. On the secondary site, by using the T2000 database
management tool, you can restore database backup files to the databases of the secondary site
and start the T2000 of the secondary site. The HA system (Huawei 1:N cold standby) is in the
switching state at this time. In this case, other primary sites still allow backup of data and files,
but do not allow switching. When the faulty primary site restores, you need to immediately
switch the application back to the primary site. Hence, the secondary site provides the
redundancy service for the primary site normally.

If faults occur in two or more primary sites, you need to specify the primary site to switch
according to the priorities of services.

5.6 External Interfaces

Product Description for SDH 5 System Architecture

MML
The MML interface, one of the interfaces for NE-level NM and network-level NM, provides
functions such as information report, query and management of various operations. Based on
TCP/IP, MML interface takes the binary byte stream as the carrier, and the syntax format is the
unified command line format of Huawei. The MML interface provided by the T2000 is used to
connect with the T2100.
With least overhead, the MML interface is easy to use, but the disadvantage is that it is a supplier-
specific standard and not an industry standard.
The T2000 with a standard configuration provides MML interface for information report, query
and management of various operations.

CORBA
The CORBA interface is one of the universal standard interfaces in the telecommunication field.
Through the CORBA interface, the EMS and NMS of different manufacturers can be
interconnected to implement the management function.
TMF multi-technology network management (MTNM) defines the CORBA based interface
between NMS and EMS, and has been recognized by more and more equipment vendors.
The northbound CORBA interface provided by the T2000 is in compliance with the TMF513,
TMF608, and TMF814 recommendations.

SNMP
The simple network management protocol (SNMP) is one of the standard interfaces used in the
industry. Through the SNMP interface, the iManager T2000 can connect to the upper level
management system of the carrier or another vendor. The T2000 provides the alarm reporting
function.
The SNMP interface provided by the T2000 is compliant with the SNMP V1, V2 and V3
standards.

Product Description for SDH 6 Reliability

6.1 HA System
The high availability (HA) system helps you improve the running reliability of the T2000 server.

For better stability and risk resistance capability, the server uses a 1+1 or 1:N standby scheme.
If the active server fails, the T2000 can be switched to the standby server so that the T2000
application is not interrupted. Such a T2000 structure is called an HA system.

The protection mechanism of an HA system has two aspects:

l Database synchronization and backup between the active and standby servers
l Switching the application software between the active and standby servers

The HA system for the T2000 consists of the following schemes:

l HA system (Veritas hot standby): for remote hot standby, featuring automatic switching.
l HA system (Veritas warm standby): for remote warm standby, featuring manual switching.
l HA system (Huawei 1:N cold standby): for HA system cold standby, featuring manual
switching.

6.2 Distributed System


A distributed system consists of the master server and slave servers, which compose a site to
implement the functions of the T2000 server.

To lower the CPU usage and memory occupancy of the master server, the T2000 server can
adopt the distributed system structure. The master server is the core of a distributed system,
because the database server and the core subsystems of the T2000 are running on the master
server. The non-core subsystems of the T2000 are running on the slave server. In this way, the
CPU usage and the memory occupancy on the master server are lowered and the load is balanced
between the master server and slave servers.

The distributed system helps to improve the management capability of the T2000 server and is
mainly used in the following two scenarios.
l You can dynamically add blade servers to improve the management capability of the
T2000 server.
l By using the existing computers with lower configuration, you can create a distributed
system to manage a large-scale network.

The T2000 provides the following distributed system schemes:


l Distributed system (Solaris single server system): It is used for the distributed deployment
of the single server system that is installed on Solaris.
l Distributed system (SUSE Linux single server system): It is used for the distributed
deployment of the single server system that is installed on SUSE Linux and the blade server
is used.
l Distributed system (Veritas hot standby system): It is used for the distributed deployment
of the remote HA system (Veritas hot standby).

6.3 DCN Protection


You can use a DCN to connect the T2000 to a standby GNE. This improves the reliability of the
communication connection between the T2000 and equipment.

NEs communicate with the T2000 through the GNE. Active and standby GNEs can be preset
for every NE on the T2000. When communication between the active GNE and the T2000 fails,
the T2000 automatically switches to communicate with the standby GNE to ensure that the
communication between the NE and the T2000 is not interrupted. When communication is
restored, whether the active GNE is used again is determined according to the restoration mode
preset.

Figure 6-1 shows the networking of DCN protection.

Figure 6-1 Networking of DCN management network


T2000
Primary GNE Standby GNE

DCN

The T2000 communicates with the standby GNE through internal communication in the
transmission network, or through other DCNs. For example, 2 Mbit/s private line, digital data
network (DDN) private line, ISDN, PSTN, or Ethernet.

NOTE

l The recommended number of non-gateway NEs (including non-gateway NEs that connects to the GNE
by using the extended ECC) that connect to each GNE is fewer than 50. Once the limit is exceeded,
the number of GNEs should be increased.
l Each T2000 supports a maximum of 2000 GNEs. Once the limit is exceeded, the number of GNEs
should be decreased.

6.4 Disk Mirroring


The disk mirroring function helps you improve the reliability of disk data on the T2000 server.
If the server is a Sun workstation with more than two hard disks, disk mirroring can be installed
together with the T2000. The T2000 uses Sun's Solaris Volume Manager software to provide
the disk mirroring scheme. Any change in data can be updated to two disks simultaneously.
Solaris Volume Manager automatically monitors the running status of the disks. If the working
disk fails, the T2000 is switched to the protection disk using a command, to ensure data storage.
Then, replace the faulty working disk, and perform the re-mirroring of the working disk.

6.5 Data Backup


The data backup function helps you improve the reliability of important T2000 data.
The security of network data is a concern for users. The T2000 provides the following solutions

7.2 Management Capability


The management capability of the T2000, on the basis of satisfying the prescribed performance
indexes, can be measured by the maximum number of NEs it manages.
Currently, a set of the T2000 can manage a maximum of 15000 Equivalent NEs. This conclusion
is drawn after the test under a certain environment and reflects the actual ability of the T2000.
For the network construction of various NEs, the management capability of the T2000 has a
certain conversion relationship with the data mentioned above. Specifically, the conversion
considers the following aspects into account.
l The size of databases depends on the number of fibers of various NEs, and the volume of
service on the fibers.
l Different hardware platforms inevitably affect the management capability of the T2000.
Generally, both the T2000 server and the T2000 client are affected.
l If the T2000 server and the client run at the same computer, the T2000 management
capability is reduced by 50%. Therefore, it is recommended to run the client and the server
separately. In this case, it is unnecessary to consider the effect of the client on the
management capability of the server.
Considering the factors stated above, the formulas for the management capability of the T2000
are as follows:

AIS insertion If there are excessive errors in a channel, AIS can be inserted in this
channel to indicate it is unavailable. For a line board, you can set
whether to insert AIS when there are excessive errors in the B1, B2
and B3 bytes. For a tributary board at the E1 or T1 level, you can set
whether to insert AIS when there are excessive errors in BIP-2. For a
tributary board at the E3 level or higher, you can set whether to insert
AIS when there are excessive errors in the B3 byte.

AIS Alarm Indication Signal. A signal sent downstream in a digital


network if an upstream failure has been detected and persists for a
certain time.

Alarm correlation In the case alarm2 is raised within five seconds after alarm1 is raised,
analysis and alarm2 complies with the conditions defined in the alarm
correlation analysis rule, you can either suppress the alarm2 or raise
its severity level according to the behavior defined in the alarm
correlation rule. Such a process is called alarm correlation analysis.

Alarm reversion For the port that has already been configured but not actually loaded
with services, this function can be used to avoid generating relevant
alarm information, thus preventing alarm interference.

Alarm severity According to ITU-T recommendations, the alarm is classified into


four severities: Critical, Major, Minor, and Warning.

Alarm suppression The suppressed alarm of a specific object is not reported. The object
here may be the networkwide equipment, a specific NE, a specific
board and even a specific function module of a specific board.

Alarm A visible or an audible indication to notify the person concerned that


a failure or an emergency has occurred. See also Event.

ATM protection An ATM protection group refers to the logically bound ATM VP
group network or subnetwork connections that share the same physical
transmission channel. In the VP group (VPG), a pair of VP
connections (working connection and its protection connection) is
used for monitoring the automatic protection switching, called
monitoring connections (APS VPCs). If the monitoring connections
switch over, the whole VPG will switch over to quicken the ATM
protection switching (as quick as the protection switching of the SDH
layer.

ALS Automatic Laser Shutdown. ALS is turned on when the optical


interface board does not carry services or the optical fibre is faulty.
Its service life can be prolonged by decreasing the duration during
which laser is on.

Attribute Property of an object.

Automatic switching When the active board or path fails, the standby one can automatically
take over the job of the active one.

Binding In virtual concatenated payload configuration, designating one


binding number to identify the VC4s of the same virtual concatenated
payload is called "bind". If a fault occurs to one of the bound services,
all bound services will switch as a whole.

Bit error alarm When the bit error reaches a specific limit, the equipment will report
threshold an alarm. This limit is the bit error alarm threshold. The threshold can
be divided into crossing threshold and defect threshold.

Check alarms The check feature compares one (or more) uncleared alarm on the
T2000 with that on the NE. If an alarm is included in the current alarms
on the NE, it is kept on the T2000. If not, it will be removed from the
T2000.

Client A kind of terminal (PC or workstation) connected to a network that


can send instructions to a server and get results through a user
interface. See also server.

Clock View The Clock View provides a visible platform to enable:1. NE clock
settings2. Networkwide clock synchronisation status query3. Clock
tracing and search functions

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.

management configuration resources, including relevant configuration of NMS or
SNMS, NE, subnet, links, SNC, route, TP, edge point, equipment, and
so on. Real-time inventory change report can also be provided through
this resource, it will be timely reported to the upper NMS to notify
the carrier of the current network operation status and ensure data
consistency of the upper NMS or SNMS.

Configure To set the basic parameters of an operation object.

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.

Connection A "transport entity" which consists of an associated pair of


"unidirectional connections" capable of simultaneously transferring
information in opposite directions between their respective inputs and
outputs.

Current alarms Alarms that do not clear, or has cleared but is not acknowledged.

Current performance The performance data stored in the current register is called current
data 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- channel composed of bytes D4-D12. All NEs can
communicate with one another through the DCC-R. The DCC-M is
not the regenerator section overhead and does not support
communications among regenerators, and it is used to support
communication channels of more universal purpose. For example, it
supports TMN as a physical channel of ECC.

DNI Dual Node Interconnection. The protection mode defined in G. 842


Recommendation for the inter-ring service . By using the
recommended protection modes, the protection of the interconnecting
service between two ring networks composed of the devices from
different manufacturers and in different protection modes can be
realised. Moreover, in case of fibre failure or node failure, services
can also be protected.

Domain The domain of the T2000 specifies the scope of address or functions
which are available to a certain user.

EMU Environment Monitoring Unit. As one type of power and environment


monitoring unit, EMU is installed on the top of the OptiX 155/622H
equipment cabinet to monitor the environment variables, such as the
power supply and temperature. With external signal input through the
relay, fire alarm, smoke alarm, burglary alarm, and so on can be
monitored as well. Displayed on the T2000, the change of
environment can be monitored timely and accurately.

Equipment set An aggregate of multiple managed equipment. Equipment set


facilitates the user authority management on equipment in the
management domain of the T2000. If some operation authorities over
one equipment set are assigned to a user (user group), these operation
authorities over all equipment of the equipment set are assigned to the
user (user group).

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.

Forced switch This command performs the ring switch from working channels to the
protection channels. This switch occurs regardless of the state of the
protection channels, unless the protection channels are satisfying a
higher priority bridge request.

History alarms Alarms that have cleared and been acknowledged.

History performance The performance data stored in the history register and the auto-report
data performance data stored on the T2000 are called history performance
data in a unified way.

switching through the K1 and K2 bytes in the multiplex section,
including linear 1+1 MS protection switching link, linear 1:n MS
protection switching link, dedicated MS protection ring and shared
MS protection ring.

NE database There are three types of database on NE SCC board as following: (1)
DRDB: a dynamic database in a dynamic RAM, powered by battery;
(2) SDB: a static database in a power-down RAM; (3) FDB0, FDB0:
permanently saved databases in a Flash ROM. In efficient operation,
the NE configuration data is saved in DRDB and SDB at the same
time. Backing up an NE database means backing up the NE
configuration data from SDB to FDB0 and FDB1.

NE Explorer NE Explorer is the main operation interface of the T2000. 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.

NM Network Management. In the telecommunication management


network structure, the T2000 is located between the NE level and
network level, which can supports all functions at NE level and part
of the network level management functions. See also T2000.

NNI Network Node Interface. NNI identifies the interface between the
ATM network nodes. See also SDH NNI.

Online help An indexed collection of information on all aspects of the T2000.


They can be accessed at any time from the Help menu or by pressing
the F1 key.

Path protection The working principle of path protection: When the system works in
path protection mode, the PDH path uses the dual-fed and signal
selection mode. Through the tributary unit and cross-connect unit, the
tributary signal is sent simultaneously to the east and west lines.
Meanwhile, the cross-connect matrix sends the signal dually sent from
the opposite end to the tributary board through the active and standby
buses, and the hardware of the tributary board will selectively receive
the signal from the two groups of buses automatically according to
the AIS number of the lower order path.

Path A trail in a path layer.

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 Performance events usually have upper and lower thresholds. When
threshold 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.

PMU One type of power and environment monitoring unit.

Private line Both communication parties are connected permanently.

Procedure A generic term for an action.

Process A generic term for a collection of actions.

Protection path A specific path that is part of a protection group and is labeled
protection.

Protection strategy In case the service route provides multiple service protections,
different protection strategies can be selected as required. Protection
strategy refers to the protection mode given the priority in use for the
trail: protection, no protection, and extra traffic. Of the above, the
protection preference is divided into trail protection and sub-network
connection protection.

Protection subnet The resources that form a protection subnetwork include NEs and
fiber cables. The creation of the protection subnetwork actually means
that corresponding logical system is configured for each NE by means
of creating the protection subnetwork, the optical interfaces (or VC4)
of each board are mapped into the logical system, and then these
independent logical systems are connected with one another to form
a complete network structure.

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.

Script file It is the text file describing the physical information and configuration
information of the entire network, including the NE configuration file,
port naming file, end-to-end configuration file, NE physical view
script file, NM information file and service implementation data script
file.

Script A list of instructions for performing a specific task or action, written


in a scripting language.

SDH NNI SDH Network Node Interface. It is applied to build communications


connection with the equipment beyond the T2000 management area.
Usually, the NM creates an SDH NNI by creating a logical system on
the port of an idle line board, and the NE must be a TM without
protection and fibre connection.

Section A trail in a section layer.

Settings Parameters of an operation that can be selected by the user.

Severity See Alarm Severity.

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 number 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.

Subnet Sub-network is the logical entity in the transmission network and


comprises a group of network management objects. A sub-network
can contain NEs and other sub-networks. A sub-network planning can
better the organisation of a network view.

Support The frame on the bottom of a cabinet, when installing the cabinet on
the antistatic floor.

Synchronise NE time Send the system time of the T2000 server to NEs so as to synchronise
all NEs with the server.

T2000 The T2000 is a subnetwork management system (SNMS). In the TMN


architecture, the T2000 is located between the NE level and network
level, which can supports all function of NE-level and part of the
network-level management functions. See also NM.

T2100 The T2100 is a network level management system for the optical
transmission network, and is located in the network management layer
(NML) in the telecommunication management network (TMN)
architecture.

TDA clock source TDA is short for Tone Data Access. For the 2500+ NE equipment, it
can be installed with the external TDA board for which the clock
source must be set so that the TDA board can switch according to the
set clock source sequence when clock source switching occurs.

TMN Telecommunications Management Network. The entity which


provides the means used to transport and process information related
to management functions for the telecommunications network.

Topology The T2000 topology is a basic component of the man-machine


interactive interface. The topology clearly shows the structure of the
network, the alarms of different NEs, sub-networks in the network,
the communication status as well as the basic network operation
status.

Trail management A network level management function of the T2000. Through trail
function management, you can configure end-to-end services, view graphic
interface and visual routes of a trail, query detailed information of a
trail, filter, search and locate a trail quickly, manage and maintain
trails in a centralised manner, manage alarms and performance data
by trail, and print a trail report.

Trail A trail is a kind of transport entity, mainly engaged in transferring


signal from the input of the trail source to the output of the trail sink,
and monitoring the integrality of the transferred signal. According to
the different levels of the trail, the trail includes various types (OTS,
OCH, OMS, SPI, RS, MS, VC4 server trail, VC4, VC3 and VC12).
Among them, OTS, OCH and OMS represent the trails in a DWDM
layer network. For the ADM and TM equipment in the SDH network,
each optical fibre connection corresponds to an SPI, RS or MS trail,
and a trail is the general name for service carriers, including SDH and
PDH services.

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.

UNI UNI is the abbreviation for User Network Interface. It identifies the
interface between the user and the ATM network node.

Unprotected Services transmitted through an ordinary way, once a failure or


interruption occurs, the data cannot be restored for lack of protection
mechanism.

Upload Report all or part of the configuration data of the NE to the NM and
overwrite the configuration data saved in the NE layer on the NM
side.

User group User set refers to the set of NMS users with the same management
authorities. The default user group includes: system administrator,
system maintainer, system operator and system supervisor. The
attributes of user set include name and detailed description.

User The user of the T2000 client, and the user and his/her password define
the corresponding authority of operation and management of the
T2000.

VC4 loopback The fault of each VC4 path on the optical fibre can be located by
setting loopback for each VC4 path of the line. There are three kinds
of loopback modes: No loopback, Outloop, Inloop.

VC4 server trail The path rate of the VC4 server trail is 150.336Mbit/s. The VC4 server
trail provides transparent channels (that is, circuit group) for circuit-
layer network nodes (for example, a switch) in a path-layer network,
and acts as the basic unit of inter-office communication path. When
the VC4 server trail is configured, only the higher order cross-
connection of VC4 is generated in the intermediate NE, but no cross-
connection is generated at the two ends, that is, no service is added/
dropped. Therefore, the VC4 server trail is not a traditional service.
It is only the basis for VC3 and VC12 trail creation.

VCI The VCI, shorted for Virtual Channel Identifier, occupies 16 bits in
both NNI cell or UNI cell. It indicates the virtual channel in the path.
The VPI and VCI together indicate a virtual connection.

Virtual fibre A virtual fibre is created between SDH equipment that has WDM
equipment in between. From SDH equipment perspective, creation of
virtual fibres disassociates its fibre connection with WDM equipment
and prevents impact on the auto fibre search function, ensuring
independence of SDH trail management.From WDM equipment
perspective, its service bearer layer is a virtual fibre instead of a true
one after the virtual fibre is created. Deletion of the true fibre does
not affect trail management.

Virtual NE Like a common NE, a virtual NE is also displayed with an icon on a


view, but it is only an NE simulated according to the practical
situation, which does not represents an actual NE. Therefore, the
actual status of this NE cannot be queried and its alarm status cannot
be displayed with colours. Usually, when the trail management
function is used for the NEs or sub-networks the T2000 cannot
manage, or the equipment is interconnected with other vendors’ NEs
for service configuration, the end-to-end service configuration
method and the trail management capability are provided.

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.

VPI The VPI, shorted for Virtual Path Identifier, occupies 12 bits in the
NNI cell, and 8 bits in the UNI cell.

Web LCT In the TMN architecture, the Web LCT is located in the NE
management level, which can manage the RTN series and NG WDM
series equipment.

Working path A specific path 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.
