u A license is calculated by encrypting the MAC addresses of all NICs,

including virtual NICs, on the PC concerned. If NICs are changed, the
current license will become invalid and need to be updated.

u A default license has limited permissions. For example, it allows adding no

more than 500 NEs.

Prerequisite

u You have logged into the UMC2 Lite as an administrator.

u A UMC2 Lite license has been obtained.

Procedure

1. Back up the original license.

rules.

6.1.1 Setting Alarm Reporting Rules

By setting alarm reporting rules, you can enable devices to report important alarms and set
prompt tones for them. Then you can monitor them in the alarm report window.

Background

u The alarms meeting reporting rules can be monitored in the alarm report window.
These rules do not affect alarm report to the UMC² Lite.

u Alarm reporting rules are specific to users. After logging in, users can only view the

6.2 Managing Alarm / Event Templates

You can set alarm / event templates on the UMC2 Lite to save alarm / event query or
collection criteria. These templates simplify operations and facilitate alarm / event query or
collection.

6.2.1 Alarm / Event Templates

This section introduces alarm / event templates, including the background, template types,
and available template states.

Background

The UMC2 Lite monitors alarms / events on all FiberHome devices. However, users
generally only care about some key alarms or events affecting their local networks. So they
need to identify and monitor these alarms or events efficiently in routine maintenance. In
this way, network exceptions can be detected, located and removed promptly, keeping
networks running well.

Version: 01 57
UMC² Lite Unified Management Control Centre User Manual

Functions

The system allows customizing alarm / event templates as follows.

u You can get the alarms or events you care about by specifying their names, levels and
types in a template. Various templates can be customized to cater for query or
collection demands in different scenarios. In routine maintenance, you can quickly
initiate alarm / event monitoring using custom templates, rather than spending a lot of
time in searching from massive data. This enhances OAM efficiency. The table below
describes the templates supported by the UMC2 Lite.

Table 6-3 Template Types

Template Function
Current alarm query Saves current alarm query criteria as a template, which can be used for
template querying current alarms later on.

History alarm query Saves history alarm query criteria as a template, which can be used for
template querying history alarms later on.
Event report query Saves event report query criteria as a template, which can be used for
Event query template
template querying event reports later on.

u You can set template states to allow alarm monitoring and proactive warning from
different perspectives, so as to detect network exceptions promptly. The table below
describes the template states supported by the UMC2 Lite.

Table 6-4 Template States

Template State Description

Default alarm collection template applied after the UMC² Lite starts up. The Alarm Statistics
dialog box opened via the client toolbar displays alarm data according to this template.

UMC² Lite services are started, the UMC² Lite synchronizes alarms with NEs and
alarm services.

u Auto Synchronize Equipment Alarm after Communication Interruption is Restored:

After recovering from a communication interruption, the UMC 2 Lite issues polling
commands to synchronize alarms with NEs.

Note:

For IPRAN and POTN devices, the UMC2 Lite issues forcible synchronization
commands to synchronize alarms with them.

6.4.2 Viewing Current Alarms

You can view current alarms of a specified object (network / logical domain / NE / link) to
analyze and troubleshoot faults.

Functions

u Alarms can be queried by frequency or duration, so that those excessively frequent and
long-lasting alarms can be quickly identified and easily analyzed.

u Current alarms are merged ones. When an object reports an alarm repeatedly, the
system displays the alarm as a single entry. That is, the alarm's ID remains unchanged,
but its frequency increases.

u Alarm logs record all alarms received by the UMC² Lite. Each alarm is displayed as
one entry.

u A new alarm meeting merging rules is merged into a current alarm entry regardless of
whether the alarm entry is acknowledged or cleared. In this case, the alarm entry's
frequency increases by 1 and its acknowledgment and clearing states are updated
according to the states of the new alarm.

u When the number of alarms exceeds the maximum number of rows allowed in a table,
only the latest current alarms are displayed. To query non-displayed alarms, you can
set filter criteria.

Procedure

u View current alarms through the main menu.

1) Select Alarm→Current Alarm from the main menu.

6.5 Handling Alarms

Alarms should be handled following certain procedures to troubleshoot faults efficiently.

72 Version: 01
 6 Alarm Management

6.5.1 NE Alarm Reporting Flow

Alarm Management Mechanism

The UMC2 Lite monitors NEs in real time through polling and proactive reporting. When
polling time conflicts with proactive reporting time, the UMC2 Lite calculates data based on
alarm receiving time and discards duplicated data.

u Polling: The UMC2 Lite calls each NE through polling and collects and stores alarm
information of each NE.

u Proactive reporting: When an alarm is generated on an NE, it is immediately reported

to the UMC2 Lite.

NE Alarm Reporting Flow

NE alarm reporting flow is a process from NE alarm reporting to the UMC 2 Lite to alarm
notification to users. Understanding this flow helps you handle alarms efficiently.
Figure 6-1 shows NE alarm reporting flow.

10.2 Network Detection

The UMC² Lite provides network connectivity detection. It can check whether network
connections and hosts are accessible, provide security protocols for remote login sessions
and other network services, and test gateways through which packets are transmitted from a
host to a destination, and configure and maintain devices.

Function Description
Ping is used to send ping packets to a remote host and check whether the host is
Ping
accessible. It is used to check whether network connections or lines are faulty.

SSH is short for secure shell protocol established by the IETF network working
SSH group. It encrypts online packets through encryption technologies before sending
them. This guarantees the security of data transmission.

As a member of the TCP/IP protocol suite, Telnet is a standard protocol and a typical
Telnet approach for remote login through the Internet. It is used to log into a device
remotely for configuration and maintenance.

10.2.1 Ping

Ping checks whether the UMC² Lite is communicating well with NEs.

Prerequisite
