Admonishments

Important safety admonishments are used throughout this manual to warn of possible hazards to persons or equipment. An admonishment identifies a possible hazard and then explains what may happen if the hazard is not avoided. The admonishments — in the form of Dangers, Warnings, and Cautions — must be followed at all times. These warnings are flagged by use of the triangular alert icon (seen below), and are listed in descending order of severity of injury or damage and likelihood of occurrence.

Danger: Danger is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will cause severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.

Warning: Warning is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that can cause severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage if the hazard is not avoided.

Caution: Caution is used to indicate the presence of a hazard that will or can cause minor personal injury or property damage if the hazard is not avoided.

1152700 • Issue 1 • February 2001 • Preface

General Safety Precautions

Danger: Do not look into the ends of optical fibers. Exposure to invisible LASER radiation may cause serious retinal damage or even blindness. Verify the optical source is disabled through the use of an optical power meter before handling optical fibers.

Caution: Use caution when routing wires and cables. Avoid severe bending and routing over sharp edges. Use grommet material when possible to avoid wear on cable insulation.

Caution: Allow sufficient fiber length to permit routing without severe bends. Fibers may be permanently damaged, or signal degradation may be experienced if fibers are bent or curved to a radius of less than 1.5 inches (3.81 cm).

Caution: Modules can be damaged by electrostatic discharge. Before handling any modules connect your wrist to an equipment ground using an approved anti-static wrist strap. Ensure that all uninstalled modules are stored in anti-static packing material. When working with modules, always place the module on an electrically grounded approved anti-static mat.

Caution: Using excessive force when seating cards and modules into the backplane may result in physical or severe electrical damage to the backplane pins or module connectors, and if power is applied, may result in serious electrical damage to both the modules or the backplane

Future revisions of this document will cover added features and enhancements to the system and/or software.

The Cellworx STN system has been designed to accelerate the migration of networks to support broadband services. It is an Add/Drop Multiplexer (ADM) utilizing Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) technologies to support access and delivery of emerging and legacy services. Through the use of simple transport provisioning, the Cellworx STN enables broadband services on an ATM backbone to coexist within the TDM infrastructure. A single platform is used to both deploy new services to thousands of customers, and provide significant bandwidth savings in existing networks. At the same time, it provides the utility and survivability that service providers have come to expect from true Telecom-oriented SONET products.

The Cellworx STN shelf is shown in Figure 1-1. It is available in a 19-inch or a 23inch rack mount shelf that has specific card slot assignments for the Ring Interface Cards (RICs), Network Management Interface Cards (NMICs), and Shelf Controller cards (SCs). The intent of specific slot locations is to maximize bus performance and the number of working and protect pairs. The Cellworx STN can be used as a collocated or remote Expansion node utilizing 622, 155 or T3 CRS cards as links to a ring node to provide subscriber fan out or remote access capabilities to a ring. Certain card slots are keyed to prevent the installation of wrong card types into those slots. The remainder of the slots can accept any Access Interface Card (AIC) provided the proper Electrical Interface Module (EIM) is installed at the rear of the shelf for that AIC service type.

2. USER INTERFACES

The Network Management Interface Controller (NMIC) shown in Figure 1-2 provides a common ring and element management system platform where all aspects of network management are performed. The NMIC houses the operating system and application software for each node and card to provide Fault, Configuration, Performance, and Security management functions based on TMN principles at the Element Management Layer.

Page 1-2

A. NMIC RS232 Interface

The NMIC provides an asynchronous RS-232 port for character based access provided through a DB9 connector located under the front hinged faceplate. This port is used to load the operating system information and IP addresses at initial network turn up.

B. NMIC EIM RJ45 Ethernet Interface

An external Network Management System (NMS) and/or X-Terminal connection is provided through an RJ45 10 Base-T Ethernet connection on either NMIC Electrical Interface Module (NMIC EIM) in slot 2 or 4 at the rear of the shelf. Refer to Figure 1-3. This connection is available only in the Gateway Network Element (GNE) located at a Central Office or controlled environment (0-50° C) location. It provides access to the GUI software screens for all management

functions, or SNMP access for Sets, Gets, Traps etc. Up to five GUI sessions may be launched at a time. An X-Terminal may remain active while the GUI is launched on another terminal. A user establishes a Telnet session to the NMIC to launch the GUI. The NMIC can maintain the Telnet session after the GUI is exited, or maintain the GUI functionality after the user terminates the Telnet session, but once both the Telnet session is terminated and the GUI is exited, the Telnet session must be re-established.

NMICs support 1:1 protection and provide independent Ethernet connections. Each NMIC has a unique IP address and a shared IP address, requiring the administrator to provision each of them on the X-Terminal. If the administrator cannot connect using the shared IP address (NMICs are unobtainable or a no response message is generated from a remote Telnet session connection attempt), the administrator can reattempt the Telnet session utilizing either the working or the protection NMIC IP addresses.

C. NMIC Serial Equipment Port

A serial port is provided on the NMIC EIM that can be used for modem access or other types of serial equipment. This port will provide the same system access as the Ethernet port. It has jumpers that enable the user to strap the port for DTE or DCE depending on the serial device connected to it.

3. CELLWORX STN SYSTEM SOFTWARE

A. NMIC Graphical User Interface (GUI)

The Cellworx NMIC GUI interface provides a simple, consistent means of interaction through menu, mouse, and keyboard driven software configuration options. It is an executable program residing on the NMIC that a user gains access to through an X-Terminal window from the shell command prompt. The GUI retrieves data for the user initiated events via SNMP to the Application Core or by accessing the information stored on its hard disk.

Once connected to the NMIC and logged on to the network, a full network view encompassing each node in the network is displayed on the screen. An example is shown in Figure 1-4. An arrangement of icons representing Cellworx STN nodes reflect the network configuration (if configured) and are color-coded indicating the current alarm state of each node. Table 1-1 describes the color codes of the icons. The NE containing the NMICs is referred to as the Gateway Network Element (GNE) and can be determined at a glance from the yellow text underneath it. All other nodes will have white text.

The fiber connections shown between the nodes will appear green if there are no fiber fragment failures. They will turn orange in the event of a fiber fragment failure indicating a major alarm condition on the link between nodes.

GUI Screen Icon Definitions

Larger icons are used to represent the Cellworx STN shelves that have Secondary nodes (expansion shelves called STN-EPS) connected to them. These icons are referred to as Primary nodes and will look the same whether there are 2 or 10 STNEPS nodes connected to them. Refer to Figure 1-5. The Secondary nodes may be collocated or reside at remote sites. When a user selects a node, it is highlighted by a white square that surrounds it. By double clicking on one of these nodes with the left mouse button, a new window is displayed reflecting the interconnecting relationship between the Primary and Secondary nodes. It is at this point that the user can determine the number of nodes involved. Refer to Figure 1-6. The Primary node now appears as a normal size ICON and the ring network interconnections are not displayed. To return to the ring network view, the operator clicks on the Cancel button at the bottom of the window.

X-Terminal Keyboard Functions

All of the functions that can be performed through pop up menus using the mouse can also be performed via the menu bar at the top of the screen. The menu bar provides pull down menus under these options: File, Configuration, Fault, and Performance.

The keyboard is used to select the menu bar items, navigate and select sub menu items, bring up the configuration or query screens, and when necessary, to enter alphanumeric information into the system. Keyboard operations for the GUI also make use of the arrow keys, enter or return key, tab key, space bar, and control key. The user must hit the Alt key along with the underlined letter of the menu item desired (ex. Alt + F selects the File menu tree).

By entering the tab key, the operator moves the highlighted or underlined selection to the next menu item (ex. File to Configuration.) Hitting the enter or return key opens the menu item. The operator may now use the arrow keys to step down or up to the desired item selection. The right arrow will bring up a sub menu if one exists, indicated by the arrow pointing to the right beside the text in the menu list.

Manipulating the GUI Network Layout on an X-Terminal Screen

The user may redraw the layout of the network that is displayed by the GUI. This may be performed to set a group of nodes that are co-located apart from others, to place the nodes in a city or state map layout, or just to make use of more room on the screen itself. By selecting a node using the select mode tool and a single click and hold of the left mouse button, the operator can drag it to any area of the screen and then release the mouse button. The node is now planted in its new location on the screen and all of the connections stay intact (the operator cannot change the physical location or inter-connections between the nodes by moving an icon into another area of the software screen).

Once the user has redrawn the GUI screen layout, the new screen configuration should be saved. This can be done through the menu bar under File: Save Icon Layout, or by single clicking on the floppy disk icon on the tool bar above the work area.

4. REMOTE MANAGEMENT CAPABILITIES

The X-Terminal used for operations and maintenance of the Cellworx STN network can be linked through existing customer Ethernet networks using TCP/IP over any transport layer (e.g. Frame Relay, ATM, Private Line, etc.) Refer to Figure 1-14 for an example.

The network operator can use any workstation with a standard X-Windows platform or a PC with X-Terminal emulation to remotely access the network, launch the GUI, and monitor or troubleshoot the Cellworx STN ring network. The operator can remotely connect to a node via Telnet session through the NMIC, and use craft menus to retrieve alarm and performance information. These functions are performed utilizing IP addresses set up for each node at turn up.

Messaging between remote nodes and the GNE NMIC is performed by targeting the NE’s IP address. Many existing network components (BSS, ATM Switches, frame relay switches, and routers) can also be pulled up on the same X-Terminal for maintenance and troubleshooting capabilities.
