ProVision is the Aviat Networks Element Management System.

As a powerful, standards-based Element Management System (EMS) for access and
microwave transport networks, ProVision offers much more than a standard EMS or
generic SNMP manager.

PROVISION FEATURE SUMMARY
• NE count – Highly scalable; up to 9,000 NEs per server

depending on the Server Loading Value for each NE
• Up to 15 simultaneous clients
• High availability – Backup and Redundant server options
• Server OS platform – MS Windows, Oracle Solaris, VM
• Architecture – Java-based server; Oracle MySQL; Java
desktop client; Apple iOs and Android mobile client
• Licensing – NE count based (pay as the network grows)
7 AVIAT NETWORKS
ProVision is ideal for growing networks, and can be deployed for networks for just a few
devices to over 6,000 networking elements, without adding an additional server.
ProVision’s northbound interface (NBI) options also enable it to be integrated with any
third party Manager of Managers (MoM).
ProVision’s intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) and simplified circuit and network
views enable operators to quickly change network configurations, correct defects and
report on network asset health and performance.
Network operators can speed network rollout and simplify operational management
with ProVision’s user-friendly functions and intelligent network controls. All current and
many legacy Aviat microwave and networking platforms are supported by ProVision,
including CTR, WTM, and Eclipse™. In addition, Pro Vision also supports many non Aviat
devices, either natively or through package level support.

SNMP OVERVIEW
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
• Standard for managing network devices via IP
• Quickly replacing older proprietary protocols
• Works on a Manager-Agent Model
• Manager Software resides on Server
• Agent Software resides on managed devices
• Manager and Agent systems communicate by setting values in Management
Information Base (MIB)
• MIB resides on the agent device
8 AVIAT NETWORKS

SNMP OVERVIEW
• Manager Performs Presence and Event (Alarm) polling of each

managed device
• Polling interval varies per device but is typically 2 minutes with
most Aviat devices in Pro Vision
• Traps are unsolicited messages from Agent, typically in response
to an event
• SNMP Gets and Sets are used to Get information from or Set
information to the MIB, such as collecting event or performance
data or altering configuration parameters

DEPLOYMENT OPTIONS – SINGLE SERVER/CLIENT
Server/Client
Same machine
LAN
Network Devices
10 AVIAT NETWORKS
The most simple form of Pro Vision deployment is running the server and a single client on the
same machine. The local client is used for establishing a client-to-server session on the server,
eliminating the need to mount files across the network. This deployment is only recommended
for small installations. Users may access the client directly or even with a remote desktop
session.

DEPLOYMENT OPTIONS – WITH REMOTE LAN CLIENTS
Clients on separate workstations
Server
Machine
LAN
Network Devices
11 AVIAT NETWORKS
Optional ProVision remote LAN client workstations enable multiple concurrent user sessions. The
maximum number of concurrent client user sessions is 15. When running remote clients, server
to client latency must be considered. In a system with multiple clients, slow latency of a single
client can impact the performance of all clients. The recommended latency of any single client is
10 milli seconds with a maximum of 20 milli seconds.

DEPLOYMENT OPTIONS – WAN CLIENT
Server
Machine
LAN
WAN
Server
WAN (E1/T1)
WAN Client
Network Devices
12 AVIAT NETWORKS
Another remote client connectivity option is a WAN connection. WAN connections typically
exhibit higher latency and lower bandwidth when compared with LAN connections. To support
WAN clients, a WAN client server is set up by connecting it to the ProVision server via a LAN
connection. The ProVision client software is installed on the WAN client server. The WAN clients
are set up by installing a Windows Terminal Server (WTS) or an equivalent remote client solution
such as Citrix Presentation Server. More than one WAN client can access the WAN client server,
however, since only one version of the ProVision client is used, all ProVision logging from the
multiple WAN clients are logged onto a single file.

DEPLOYMENT OPTIONS –WITH STANDBY SERVER

13 AVIAT NETWORKS
The most simple form of Pro Vision server redundancy is the standby server option. The Standby
server option offers warm standby server redundancy with manual failover. The active database
is typically backed up once per day, so in the event of an active server failure, some data may be
lost. The standby server only requires a second server with the same Pro Vision licensing as the
main server. No additional software is required.

The redundancy Controller option offers enhanced Pro Vision Server redundancy with hot
standby server redundancy and automated failover. The databases are synchronized in near real
time, so there is minimal data loss. The redundancy controller option requires the same Pro
Vision licensing on each server plus the redundancy controller application software and licensing
on each machine.

SERVER REDUNDANCY OPTIONS
• Standby Server
• Warm standby server redundancy with manual failover
• Active database backed up to standby, typically once per day
• Some data may be lost when active server fails
• Both servers require the same licensing
• Redundancy Controller
• Hot-standby server redundancy with automated failover
• Databases synchronized in near real-time, minimal data loss
• Both servers require the same licensing plus redundancy
controller application license and software
* See Appendix A for detailed instructions for setup
15 AVIAT NETWORKS

LAN CLIENT TO SERVER LATENCY SPECIFICATION
• The performance of the ProVision system is impacted by the
latency between the PV Client and PV Server
communications.
• In a system with multiple Clients, slow latency of a single
Client impacts the performance of all Clients. It’s therefore
critical that the following latency specification be adhered to.
Latency (msec) Notes
Recommended 10 This is the recommended maximum latency for any PV Client
connection to the PV Server
Maximum 20 This is the maximum latency for any PV Client connection to the
PV Server. Exceeding this value will result in poor performance
16 AVIAT NETWORKS

PLANNING NETWORK HARDWARE
When planning a network, it is important to know the number of devices your network will
have, to determine the hardware specification. Some devices place more loading on the
server than others. Calculating a server loading value determines the required system
resources for the devices. Calculate the Server Loading Value (SLV) from the equation:
Server Loading Value = 3A + 2B + C
Where the letters A, B, and C are determined by the type of devices in your network and
are listed in Chapter 3 – Installing ProVision - ProVision Installation and Administration

TREE VIEWER – PHYSICAL AND LOGICAL VIEWER
27 AVIAT NETWORKS
Physical Viewer
In the Physical View option, the entire radio network is represented as a tree of
containers and devices. Each container (for example, a region) is represented as a
parent, with all the devices positioned underneath, as its children
Logical Viewer
The Logical tree viewer displays the logical containers created in ProVision, and the
devices and circuits grouped under each logical container. This tree view supports
severity propagation, with the logical container taking on the highest severity of its
Devices. Network devices that share a common purpose can be grouped together to
form a Logical Container. This grouping allows these devices to be monitored, managed,
and viewed independent of the main network, and at the same time also continue to be
viewed as part of the wider network.

address, and choose Manage
and Class Checking
53 AVIAT NETWORKS
Before deploying CTR 8540 or CTR 8300 devices in ProVision, you must use CLI
commands on the device to enable SNMP and to create a ProVision user account with
root access for the device. This enables communication with ProVision.
When a device is installed, successfully commissioned, Deployed and Managed,

ProVision polls the device and receives events, collects data from devices. When a
device is not deployed or managed, ProVision does not recognize nor receives traps.
A device can be deployed but not managed, if the device is not currently installed or not
reachable through the network. At a later date the device can be chosen to be managed.
Un-Managed devices show a dark blue color in the display. When a device is Un-
Managed, Pro Vision does not waste resources trying to find and manage the device.

SYMBOL
ProVision allows the user to deploy a
Generic object as a Symbol for devices
that do not support IP or are not
accessible from the EMS.
A Symbol is a generic object that does

not contain any IP related configuration
and is thus not managed by ProVision
– there is no presence polling of objects
that are deployed as Symbols.
To deploy symbols, right click on the

Map Viewer, and select Deploy Object
> Generic > Symbol.
71 AVIAT NETWORKS
To deploy a generic device Symbol, the user simply selects the “Symbol” object from the
Generic Family of objects, defines a name for the symbol and selects a custom icon and
subtype for the symbol.
Previously used icons and subtypes can also be used; if no custom icon is selected then
the default icon is used for the object.
Note that the custom icon and type can be modified for an object at any time after
deployment.

This design makes PV able to raise events on a specific NE based on traps received from
the proxy device. It could also support some of the following if supported by the EMS:
Alarm resynchronization
State changes of proxied devices
Automatic deployment of proxied devices (future requirement)
PV server interacts only with the Proxy or EMS via IP or SNMP. Hence the protocol that
proxy uses for contacting NE is completely transparent for PV. As ProVision does not
contact proxied NE directly, the NE state is inherited and managed by proxy.

OPTIONAL LAB MODULE 6: GDS SUPPORT
1. This Lab Requires a GDS Package to be loaded on the

Classroom Training PV Server
2. Each student should Deploy a Generic Device to be Managed
by the installed GDS Package, the type of device will depend
on the GDS Package. Devices can be deployed with a
“dummy” IP address and will not actually be managed.

Circuits Tab displays immediately behind the main Map Tab in the ProVision user
interface. To view details for a circuit, mouse over it in the map view to see a detailed
pop-up. If a circuit's connection information is out of date, a warning message appears.
Double-click the circuit to expand and view all the aspects of the circuit. Traced end-to-
end circuits can be viewed by selection from the tree viewer. Users can highlight specific
circuit paths to view the links and status for that pathway. Users can also apply the Filter
and Search functions to locate specific circuits. The sample below displays a ring circuit.
The Circuit Trace function maps all circuits and circuit bundles, through the network, and
displays them in the Circuit Tree view. The ProVision user can do this at the network
container or the circuit level, using the Global Trace function.
Circuit tracing benefits an Eclipse network by:
Providing user-friendly visibility of circuits, with their status and configurations.
Supporting circuit provisioning during network rollout. For example, users can make a
required circuit capacity change, then verify the changes using Circuit Trace.
Supporting the functionality of self-healing Super-PDH rings by enabling users to view
and retrace circuits, so that, if a path failure occurs, users can identify alternative circuit
routes.

LOADING AND MANAGING CIRCUITS
• There are three steps to loading and managing Circuits:
1. Set up the Circuit Collection Preferences
2. Run the Circuit Trace
3. View and Manage Circuits from the Circuits tab of Tree or Map Viewer
Configuration > Circuit Collection Preferences
99 AVIAT NETWORKS

CIRCUIT TRACE
• ProVision periodically captures the cross-connect configurations
from the radios.
• Circuit configuration changes to the radios will not be recognized
until a new Circuit Trace is completed.
• Circuit tracing:
✓ Locates incorrect circuit cross-connections within the network
✓ Views and manages changes to the network circuit configuration (such as adding
circuit capacity during network rollout).
✓ Views the circuits to use the troubleshooting features of ProVision, such as loopback
and PRBS testing.

ProVision displays identified problems with Eclipse circuits in several ways: in a circuit
tree viewer, in event browsers and submaps, and in the circuit map. For users, these
problems are displayed via icon indicators, color-coding, and events with detailed
information. These diagnostics enable users to identify and fix problems fast, reducing
OPEX by achieving higher network ability.
End-to-end TDM circuit performance diagnostics are also provided through PRBS testing
with G.821 results generation. Users can perform PRBS tests for specific circuits or
circuit segments. Via the Circuit Diagnostics test screen, users set up generators,
detectors, and loopbacks. ProVision then monitors the circuit and presents the results in
real time.

The Circuit Provisioning function enables users to rapidly create or modify end-to-end transport
circuit bundles in a single write operation. This includes the ability to configure the path
(network route), capacity (N x E1 or N x DS1) and circuit naming. The circuit bundle tributary
ports can also be commissioned / decommissioned in a single write operation. Circuit
Provisioning provides the following benefits:
Speed: Users can create or modify end-to-end circuits in minutes, increasing efficiency and
reducing OPEX, whereas node-by-node based configuration often takes hours and is error
prone.
Ensures correctness and consistency: The Circuit Provisioning function verifies correct
configuration and applies consistent naming to all nodes on the circuit path. Incomplete paths
are identified in error reports.
The following steps are involved in creating end-to-end transport circuit bundles:
(1) Object Selection – Select the two radios that will terminate the end-to-end circuit bundle.
(2) Path Selection – ProVision presents the possible network paths, based on the automatically
identified Eclipse network topology. Users then select the network path that best meets their
requirements. If there is an existing circuit bundle for the selected path, the user has the option
to either change the existing bundle, or create a new bundle on the same path.
(3) Capacity Selection – ProVision presents a graphical image of the end-to-end path. Users can
define the circuit capacity, circuit naming, and terminating DAC card ports for both ends of the
path.
(4) Write and Verify – ProVision makes the configuration changes to all the Eclipse nodes on the
path in a single write operation, and then retraces the circuit bundle to verify the changes.
Progress can be traced through the Task Manager function.
Note that circuit provisioning is a licensed feature.

CIRCUIT PROVISIONING
Circuit Provisioning function enables creation of circuits for radios.

• This process defines all possible paths between devices, and allows you to
choose which paths you want to use for circuits.
Note the following:
• To create a circuit, a circuit path must begin and end with a DAC.
• RF links for the involved radios must be discovered before a new circuit can
be created.
• After you create a circuit, you can edit it, increasing or decreasing its
capacity.
• To change the termination points or routing, you must delete and recreate
the circuits.

FCAPS – FAULT MANAGEMENT
AVIAT NETWORKS

PROVISION – SUPERIOR NETWORK EVENT MANAGEMENT
• Network event supervision and management is key to

monitoring network health and improving network availability.
• Reliable event collection mechanism uses SNMP traps &
SNMP polling.
• ProVision provides multiple Event Management features
including Browser, Scoreboards, Pre-filters, Thresholds,
Customization, Notification Profiles, & North Bound Interface
• Event & performance data are correlated.
• Export events to a file / import into a spreadsheet for analysis.
120 AVIAT NETWORKS
ProVision is the Aviat Networks Element Management System. ProVision strengthens

network managers’ ability to quickly manage changes, correct defects, and report on
network health and performance.
One of the most important features of ProVision is Event Management. ProVision
provides superior network event management.
Network event supervision and management is key to containing crises and monitoring
network health
ProVision provides multiple Event Management options, so that users can:
Choose what events are important
View individual details, including recommended fixes
See event impact on overall network health

VIEWING EVENTS IN PROVISION
• Event Browser filters & sorts events by location, status, severity, description, radio name
/ type, raised / cleared time
• Right-click events to view event history, probable cause & repair actions
Score boards can be created by

clicking on this icon
121 AVIAT NETWORKS
The Event Browser lists all events that occur in a network. The events displayed in the
Event Browser view are continually refreshed as events are received from the devices on
the network.
The main Event Browser is the bottom panel of the ProVision user interface and, by
default, displays all unacknowledged, active events on the entire network. A separate
event browser can also be opened, to show events for a specific region, container, or
device.
Users can view an event’s properties to gain information about a specific event. Event
properties allow users to answer the following questions about an event:
Is the event equipment related, or due to weather or site conditions?
Can the user determine if the event is cleared by the device?
Should the user escalate the event to an engineer?
At the radio level, if there is a problem, for example, faulty equipment or an antenna out
of alignment resulting in events being generated and you know a field technician is
going out to the radio to fix the problem, then you can pre-filter for these events for this
radio. However, you must remove the pre-filter once the problem has been fixed.

• Open an event browser from a
scoreboard
126 AVIAT NETWORKS
The Scoreboard is the most convenient way to monitor a group of radios or the entire network. Scoreboard groups provide a
summary of the status of a network in a graphical format. Typically, every radio in the network is displayed on a Scoreboard.
How users set Scoreboard groups up is flexible and is to be based on your business requirements.
The Scoreboard group is a container for individual Scoreboards and allows users to add and remove Scoreboards from the group
Name and save the Scoreboard group
Once a Scoreboard group is set up it is saved and available to all ProVision users.
The following examples are business-driven scenarios for using Scoreboard groups.
Golden Cells:
A network includes sites where it is imperative that communications traffic continues at peak performance. Examples of golden
cells are:
A mobile backhaul network, located close to international sporting events. Sites where communications down can mean loss of
revenue, for example, share markets. Sites where there is a contractual obligation that includes performance metrics.
Scoreboard groups are a way to monitor these specific sites.
Backbone Sites:
These are sites that carry a high proportion of communications traffic and feed off to less important “leaf sites”. Problems with
these backbone sites impacts entire sections of the network. It is crucial that these sites are kept problem free.
Monitoring Event Categories:
Users want to monitor the entire network for certain categories of events, such as communications, and equipment failure.
Monitoring a Specific Site:
Users have a site experiencing problems. Creating a Scoreboard group dedicated to this site enables the users to monitor events
from the radios at that site.

EVENT ANALYZER
• Identify events that
happen frequently in
your network
• Open from Fault pull-
down menu or Hot
Button
• In the drop-down
menu, select the time
period of events:
✓ Last 24 Hours by Device
✓ Last 24 Hours by Event
✓ Last Week by Device
✓ Last Week by Event
✓ Last 30 Days by Device
✓ Last 30 Days by Event
127 AVIAT NETWORKS

PRE-FILTER EVENTS
• Pre-filters stop non-essential events from entering the database.
128 AVIAT NETWORKS
At the root level (network wide) you can filter out events on a per device basis. This
stops non-essential events entering the system. For example, on Altium radios if ATPC is
enabled an event is generated each time the radio switches between ATPC on and off.
These events do not relate to the performance of the radio nor the communications
traffic. They are not necessary: they are events that can be pre-filtered.
At the radio level, if there is a problem, for example, faulty equipment or an antenna out
of alignment resulting in events being generated and you know a field technician is
going out to the radio to fix the problem, then you can pre-filter for these events for this
radio. However, you must remove the pre-filter once the problem has been fixed.
How Does Event Pre-filtering Work?

A pre-filter applied at a parent level in the hierarchy is automatically applied to child
objects that are included in the criteria. This figure shows an example of how a pre-filter
set at the root level (Southern North Island), for XP4 radios is applied to all XP4 radios,
and shown in this example, the Waikanae XP4 radio. The blank Self tab displayed for the
Waikanae XP4 radio indicates there are no pre-filters applied directly to the selected
object. The Parents tab has the active filters displayed.

PRE-FILTERING EVENTS
Pre-filters can be applied from:
– Menu Bar
– Icon Menu
– Event browser
129 AVIAT NETWORKS

THRESHOLDS AND CUSTOMIZED EVENTS
• Create thresholds
based on RF or
Ethernet
performance data
• Customize event
names and severity
levels
130 AVIAT NETWORKS
NBI event management enables integration of event management with Network

Management Layer systems.
The main purpose of NBI event management is to convert ProVision events, as displayed
in the Event Browser, into a consistent output format for porting to the Network
Management Layer.
ProVision can output events raised as a result of traps sent from a managed network
device, events raised as a result of polling a managed network device, events raised by
the ProVision platform
For most devices, you can customize event names and severity levels through their craft
tool. For selected devices, ProVision provides an Event Customization function. This
enables you to customize the ProVision database name and/or severity of external
alarm inputs and outputs for these devices. Using Event Customization, you can apply
customization settings to a single device, multiple devices of the same type, or all
devices of a specific type.

154 AVIAT NETWORKS
Network Health Reports (NHRs) provide a valuable overview of the performance of a microwave radio network. Use them to quickly analyze network performance and provide bench marking for
future reference.
NHRs inform users about the performance of a microwave network via ITU-T G.821 or G.826 statistics. These identify which radios are within a user-defined performance threshold, for example
which links are working below 99.99% availability.
The NHR output can be saved to a CSV format file, for importing into a spreadsheet or to PDF format files suitable for emailing or inclusion with a management report.
What are the benefits of Network Health Reports? Customers can monitor network performance function on a similar level outside of ProVision, but this can be a very labor intensive, time
consuming, and expensive. Using Network Health Reports saves time and money, but most of all, NHRs help customers focus their resources on improving network availability by being pro-active.
The Overview data for the network includes:

Mean Availability – indicates the average availability in percentage terms for all the links in the network report.
Mean Visibility – indicates the average visibility of the network or in other words the amount of performance data ProVision has been able to obtain. With 100% visibility – customers know the
availability data will be accurate. With low visibility, customers will know the availability data could be misleading and therefore they need to analyze the results in more detail.
Number of devices above or below threshold – the number of devices included in the report operating above or below the user-defined availability thresholds.
Devices with Zero Visibility –the number of devices from which ProVision has been unable to collect data from.
The Detail tab presents the data by device or node. Devices below the desired network health threshold are highlighted in red. There are three levels of detail that can be viewed; Low, Medium,
and High. Users can hide healthy devices and devices with zero visibility and if they select a specific device – then right mouse context sensitive menu options are available.
The aim is to provide complete radio coverage for Aviat microwave radios and with the release of ProVision 6.5 – we’re almost there. Network Health reports support:
Eclipse
TRuepoint 4000
TRuepoint 4040
TRuepoint 5000

The Ethernet Bandwidth Utilization screen displays an overview of the throughput bandwidth
usage for the selected part of the network. This allows users to rapidly identify if the throughput
is exceeding the maximum bandwidth available for the link or links. Normally, users select a
Logical Link network or set of circuits to view.
Ethernet Bandwidth Utilization displays performance data for enabled ports and channels. Data
collection processes data for all enabled ports and channels. For example, if a port was operated
for three days and then disabled, the data from the port’s enabled period would still be
displayed, but no additional data would be saved.
If you select a large network to view, it takes time to generate the Ethernet Bandwidth
Utilization display: an hour or more. Generating this view for a large network also may slow your
ProVision system processing.

✓ Eclipse Portal login options
175 AVIAT NETWORKS
ProVision is the Aviat Networks Element Management System.

ProVision is used to manage mission critical transmission networks. ProVision’s security
features enable users to protect their equipment, their network integrity, and their
users’ vital personal information.
ProVision strengthens network managers’ ability to quickly manage changes, correct
defects, and report on network health and performance by supporting security for:

The Security Log provides a record of user activity and device user activity events.
Whenever a user makes a change or performs an operation , an event for the change is
added to the Security Log. This tracks user change-related events and enables a
Administrator to identify which user is responsible for any activity.
The Security Log records user activity for the following:
The Physical Root level of
The Manager
Regions, Sites, and Containers
The following devices:
Altium
Eclipse
LE3000 and LE3200
TRuepoint 4000 and 5000

USER SECURITY
• RADIUS integration
• Single sign-on access to
ProVision and Portal
• Pre-defined user security
profiles
• Account Status controls –
Regional Access
178 AVIAT NETWORKS
Each ProVision user must be assigned a user account. A user account includes a unique login
user name and password, and the user’s security profiles. A user can belong to more than one
security profile.
Administrator level users can manage the requirements for ProVision passwords using the
security_policy template in the ProVision Server program files. In this template, the
administrator can change the values to customize password and user name requirements.
User security levels are:

View - User can view data in ProVision. This does not enable any data editing.
Maintenance - User can view data and set maintenance controls on devices.
Configuration - User can view data and change device / ProVision configuration parameters.
Does not include security, administration, or software loading privileges.
Upgrade - User can view data and perform software upgrades on the network.
Administration - User can view data and perform database administration and ProVision user
account administration tasks. A default administration user will be created by the system when
ProVision is first installed. At least one Administration user must ALWAYS exist and be unlocked
at all times.
Security - The security user is only responsible for configuring and enabling the information
needed to integrate with a RADIUS server and to view Security logs.

ADVANCED SECURITY FEATURES
• Set device security on a specific device, a region, container, or a

site
• Customize SNMP community strings
• Strong security with Single Sign On mechanism
179 AVIAT NETWORKS
Administrator-level users can view security access details for all Containers and devices in a
network, using the Device Security Accounts screen.
All Containers and many devices can have their security details edited from this screen.
You can set up device security access accounts on a per region, site, or individual radio basis.
To facilitate Strong Security for devices, ProVision notes the users' security levels when they log
in. This means that administrators can enable a Single Sign On (SSO) mechanism. These SSO
credentials, deployed with other Aviat software, enable the user to log in automatically to
Eclipse Portal, Configuration Backups, and Software Loading at the appropriate level.
Using the Device Security screen, users can set device SNMP values and can set or edit device
SNMP security strings as public or private. This is only required if you have made other security
changes for a radio; these strings are normally set during deployment.
The Security Log provides a record of user activity and device user activity events collected by
ProVision. Whenever a user makes a change or performs an operation in ProVision, an event for
the change is added to the Security Log. This tracks user change-related events and enables a
ProVision Administrator to identify which user is responsible for any activity on ProVision.

ECLIPSE RADIUS SECURITY ACCOUNTS
180 AVIAT NETWORKS
•RADIUS should be enabled on both ProVision and the Eclipse

•The credentials of the ProVision user initiating the operation are used to authenticate
with the Eclipse
•Ensure that the correct ProVision and Eclipse user privileges are configured
•Select the radios that are to be updated with the new user account. To update the
entire network selected the ProVision Physical Root from the Physical View. Right-click
and select Configuration > Profiles, then from Configuration Profile dialog and select
the previously saved Eclipse Radio Accounts profile
•Add the new user to the profile. Usernames must be between 4 and 32 characters long
and the password must be 8 to 32 characters long and contain at least one letter and
one number.
•Select the required permissions for the user – the user must belong to at least one
group.
•Save the configuration profile.
•Select Execute to write the changes into each of the selected device. A dialog will
appear verifying the radios that this profile will be written to, if necessary radios can be
removed from this list. Press Execute again to complete the operation.
•The progress of the operation can be monitored using the Task Manager.

STRONG SECURITY
• SNMPv3 authentication & encryption for
• Eclipse, TRuepoint 4040 v2 and 5000
• Licensed feature, activated on device deployment
• Strong Security options:
✓ DES
✓ TDES
✓ AES128
✓ AES192 and AES256 (Restrictions apply)
181 AVIAT NETWORKS
Strong Security enables ProVision users to use SNMPv3 privacy/encryption for devices in ProVision. SNMPv1 and
SNMPv2c protocols do not support privacy/encryption which means the SNMP data can easily decoded by using
freely available protocol analyzer software such as Wireshark. SNMPv3 provides “strong security” by preventing this
with privacy/encryption.
In many networks this is not considered a problem because the network management Data Communication Network
(DCN) is isolated from the internet. However, in some networks the DCN is transported over the internet. Therefore,
hackers might be able to access network equipment, change configuration settings, and cause malicious service
interruptions.
As of the 6.5 release of ProVision, TRuepoint 4040 v2 and 5000 devices with V2 controllers support Strong Security. In
the future Eclipse devices will
Strong Security is a licensed feature associated with Aviat equipment. While Strong Security requires a special license
in ProVision, it is provided free of charge to customers who have purchased Strong Security with Aviat equipment.
Strong Security and TRuepoint in Detail
TRuepoint 4040 v2 and 5000 devices with V2 controllers support DES, TDES, AES128, or, for US customers, AES192
and AES256 are also supported. To support SNMPv3 privacy/encryption the ProVision system requires:
A specific Strong Security license.
A Java cryptography extension (JCE unlimited strength jurisdiction policy file/s) from Sun Microsystems.
Contact your Aviat representative to obtain this license and this extension.
To activate Strong Security, SNMPv3 must be configured on TRuepoint devices as well as in ProVision. Strong Security
on TRuepoint devices is configured through WebCIT. Once the TRuepoint device has been configured with strong
security in WebCIT, the equipment can be deployed in ProVision, configuring it with the same options and passwords.
To facilitate Strong Security for devices, ProVision notes the users' security levels when they log in. This is called a
Single Sign On (SSO) mechanism. These SSO credentials enable the user to log in automatically to Eclipse Portal,
Configuration Backups, and Software Loading at the appropriate level.
SSO credentials are encrypted and only saved during the ProVision session; they are deleted when the user logs out.
Also, for Eclipse Portal, SSO is only active for devices with Eclipse 5.3 and later installed: devices with earlier versions
need to be managed as device security accounts.

ADDITIONAL ECLIPSE SECURITY
Protect Eclipse device

configuration with:
• Lock and unlock Eclipse
Portal access to Eclipse
devices.
• Set up user name/password
to access Eclipse radios
• Separate access for different
ProVision users, even within
the same radio
182 AVIAT NETWORKS
Administrator level users can lock and unlock Eclipse Portal at the network level. Locking
Eclipse Portal means that only users with write access can unlock access to Portal,
giving local Portal users configuration access.
Eclipse Portal Access write locking only locks Portal for Eclipse devices that have Eclipse
software version 5.1 or higher.
Administrators can unlock Portal access for specific Eclipse devices, to unlock Eclipse
Portal for specific Eclipse devices, go to the device in the
Tree Viewer. Right-click on the device. In the right-click menu, go to the Sleep option.
You can click on a check box to enable Portal Write Access. This enables the write access
for this Eclipse device only.

1.Warm standby server redundancy with manual failover.
2. Active server database automatically backed up to standby server at regular time
interval, typically once per day.
3. Performance and configuration change data since the last backup is lost when the
active server fails. If backup is daily, up to a day’s worth of data is lost.
4. Both servers are active (although there are restrictions with standby server), enabling
the standby server to be used to support an increased number of Client sessions.

REDUNDANCY CONTROLLER
• Database synchronization takes place in real time –

minimal loss of data if failure
• Database restore is automatic if primary server fails
• Active Server and Dormant Server
198 AVIAT NETWORKS
The Redundancy Controller provides the following capabilities:

1. Hot standby server redundancy with automated failover.
2. Server databases synchronized in near-real-time through database replication
process, ensuring minimal loss of data when the main server fails.
3. Only one of the servers, Active Server or Dormant Server is fully active at a given
time, although switching occurs quickly to the peer server when the main server fails.
The Redundancy Controller provides automatic failover ability so that when a problem
occurs with the Active Main Server (or there is a network outage), the Dormant Server
will automatically become the currently Active Main Server. In a failover scenario,
ProVision Clients will have to be manually switched to the New Active Main Server.
The two servers are defined by the following:
Active Main Server – The ProVision server currently in use by ProVision Clients. New
devices are deployed, network changes are implemented, and performance data is
collected.
Dormant Server – A server currently replicating data from the Active Main Server in near
real time. This server will automatically become the new Active Main Server should the
existing Active Main Server suffer a power loss or a network outage.

LOGGING INTO THE REDUNDANCY CONTROLLER
The Redundancy Controller is now running as a Service and is configured to

automatically start whenever the Server is powered up.
The service can be restarted or stopped from the main Start menu item ProVision
Redundancy Controller.
203 AVIAT NETWORKS
Note: The procedures highlighted must also be carried out on the second server.

LOGGING INTO THE REDUNDANCY CONTROLLER
To log onto the Redundancy controller, you go to Start Menu > Provision Redundancy
Controller > Launch. By default the username and password is ‘admin’
204 AVIAT NETWORKS

REDUNDANCY CONTROLLER STATUS SCREEN
The Redundancy Controller is now installed and running on both Servers in a Dormant Latched state
and needs to be further configured so that Redundancy across the two Servers is activated.
205 AVIAT NETWORKS
To make one of the servers the Active Main Server, you click on unlatch to initialize,
synchronize and have the database running on the Active Main Server
System State
Local Status: Status of the main local server.
Peer Status: Status of the "peer server."
Control
Switch/Unlatch:
Click Switch to change the local server from Active to Dormant or vice versa. If the peer
server is Active you cannot switch the local server to Active.
Click Unlatch to move the local server out of the Dormant Latched state. This button
only becomes available when the
local server is in the Dormant Latched state

REDUNDANCY CONTROLLER CONFIGURATION SCREEN
206 AVIAT NETWORKS
Note: you must have the same version of Provison Redundancy Controller on both Servers
At the Redundancy Controller Configuration Screen,
• Enter the Peer IP address, set the FTP port

• The Server ID value of the Active Main server should be less than the Dormant Latched, this
ensures that the Active Main Server has a higher priority, in this example we have a value of 1
for the Active Main Server and a value of 2 for the Dormant Latched Server (number ranges
from 1 to 65535).
• Set the Dump Timeout – by default, this value is 400. This is the time in seconds for timeout
when backing up the database for server synchronization. For a large database, the default
value can be maintained as a value of 400 or set higher than 400 but for a small database, the
dump timeout can be less than 400
• Set file synchronization hour – this is the time that files are synchronized between the local
and peer server once per day at this hour, it is based on a 24hour clock. Example above 4
indicates 4am while a value of 16 indicates 4pm
• Enter Heartbeat Timeout - If the heartbeat synchronization fails, the timeout is the period of
time in seconds between retries. Default value is 5
• Enter Heartbeat Retries - If the heartbeat synchronization fails, the retry is the number of
times synchronization is attempted again.
The failover window is defined in seconds by (heartbeat timeout * heartbeat retries). If no

heartbeat is received by the dormant system during this window the dormant system will
failover and become the active system

CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION OAM
AVIAT NETWORKS

CLOCK SYNCHRONIZATION OA&M SUMMARY
• Tools for managing network clock synchronization distribution & quality

• Eclipse DAC/IDU GE3 with 7.0 and later firmware
• Quality Level and Stability performance
• Features include...
• Clock Sync Distribution view
• Clock Sync Network Health Report
233 AVIAT NETWORKS
The SSM feature is an extension of the Synchronous Ethernet feature, and provides a
mechanism for monitoring the Quality level (QL) of configured clock sources, and for the
automated switching of the terminal’s clock source to the “best available” source.
The SSM QL values are the usual 4-bit values defined by ITU-T, ANSI and Telcordia. For
example…
QL-PRS: PRS traceable ([ITU-T G.811]).

QL-STU: Synchronized – Traceability unknown.
QL-ST2: Traceable to stratum 2 ([ITU-T G.812], type II).
QL-TNC: Traceable to transit node clock ([ITU-T G.812], type V).
QL-ST3E: Traceable to stratum 3E ([ITU-T G.812], type III).
QL-ST3: Traceable to stratum 3 ([ITU-T G.812], type IV).
QL-SMC: Traceable to SONET clock self timed ([ITU-T G.813] or [ITU-T G.8262],
option II).
QL-ST4: Traceable to stratum 4 freerun (only applicable to 1.5 Mbit/s signals).
QL-DUS: This signal should not be used for synchronization.
