Introduction

Features

The PRISM 3301 is an intelligent, SNMP-managed T3 Data and Channel Service Unit. It provides a standard High-Speed Serial Interface (HSSI) DTE port and one network DS3 port that can use readily available coaxial transmission media in private or public long-haul T3 networks.

An RS-232 serial port provides remote (modem) or local access for unit configuration, provisioning, and monitoring. The protocol format used to communicate to these ports is industry standard ASCII.

The PRISM 3301 can be managed using a terminal emulation program or SNMP using telnet. It is configured by setting parameters for the network and DTE interfaces and the local and network management ports.

In addition to unit configuration capabilities, the PRISM 3301 can generate alarm messages, perform system tests and loopbacks for diagnostics. Loopbacks include Local DTE Loopback, Local Line Loopback, and Remote Line Loopback.

The PRISM 3301 contains a local access port and two BNC access jacks on the front panel for monitoring and user interaction.

The local access port (located on the front panel) requires an RS-232, DB-9 male connector to connect to an ASCII terminal or computer running a terminal emulation software package at speeds of 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, or 19,200 bps. This port can be configured as dial-in/dial-out. The PRISM 3301 automatically answers any incoming calls. If a value is entered into the Dial String field , i t attempts to place a call to the designated number. Once a connection is established, the unit sends an ASCII alarm string containing the date, time, alarm description, and application identification. If a connection is not established, the COA routine continues for up to six attempts.

The two BNC access jacks labeled Tx and Rx on the front panel allow for non-intrusive monitoring of the network signal.

The PRISM 3301 contains an AC-power receptacle, a grounding stud, a T3 network interface with backup unit connectors, a high-speed serial interface (HSSI) DTE interface, and an RS-232 network management port with embedded SNMP.

The T3 network interface connects the PRISM 3301 to a T3 network. The backup unit connectors allow the DS3 line to be switched to a backup unit in the event of power outage, watchdog failure, or CPU self-test failure.

The primary connections require cables with 75Ω BNC connectors to the T3 facility. The secondary connections require cables with 75Ω BNC connectors to the hot-standby unit.

The High-speed Serial Interface (HSSI) port transmits data to and receives data from DTE equipment at data rates of 3.16, 6.32, 12.63, 18.95, 25.26, 31.58, 37.70, and 44.21 Mbps. The DTE port requires a cable with an Amplimite 50-pin male connector. The pinout for the HSSI DTE interface is provided in Table 2-1.

AC Po we r

Ground Stud

The PRISM 3301 requires a 110 -volt AC power supply. The rear panel power receptacle is an industry standard male recessed receptacle with grounding pin. The grounding pin is a safety feature. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding plug. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, contact the facility manager or a qualified electrician to replace the outlet with a properly-grounded outlet. The power block contains a 2 amp, slow blow 250 V fuse.

To avoid an electrical shock hazard, remove power connections to the PRISM 3301 during installation. If the fuse opens, replace it with a 250 V, 2 amp, slow blow fuse.

To connect the 110 VAC power cord:

1 Firmly connect the socket end of the supplied power cable to the recessed power

receptacle located at the rear of the unit.

2 Plug the other end of the power cord into the three-hole, grounded AC outlet.

A ground stud located on the rear panel allows for a chassis ground when necessary.

The PRISM 3301 front panel contains twelve LEDs indicating unit status. The alarm messages associated with these indicators, including a date and time stamp, are recorded one at a time in the Alarm Queue. Up to 100 alarm messages can be stored in the alarm queue. When the alarm queue is full, the 101 added and the 1 ASCII terminal command line interface or Verilink Manager. See Chapter 4 on page 15 for more in formation con cerning the PR ISM 3301 terminal interface.

Whenever the PRISM 3301 encounters a failure on the near-end, it sends one or more DS3/E3 alarm messages to the far-end announcing the near-end condition. The

The PRISM 3301 can be managed using an ASCII terminal or a personal computer running terminal emulation software or SNMP. The PRISM 3301 is configured by setting parameters for the network interface, the DTE interface, and the local and network management ports.

In addition to unit configuration capabilities, the PRISM 3301 can generate alarm messages, perform system tests and diagnostic loopbacks. Loopbacks include local DTE, local line, remote line, and remote line loop up.

Whenever the PRISM 3301 encounters a failure on the near-end, it sends one or more DS3/E3 alarm messages to the far-end announcing the near-end condition. The

The PRISM 3301 requires a modem supporting the AT command set. The modem must be configured for hang-up on loss of DTR and live DCD reporting. If the modem cannot be configured externally (via DIP switches, etc.), the necessary commands can be entered into the PRISM 3301 using the SET [SUPERVISORY/SLIP] INIT-STRING command.

The PRISM 3301 can communicate with a modem at speeds up to 19.2 kbps, however, handshaking (RTS/CTS) might not be supported. For best results, the unit and modem speeds should be less than or equal to the actual modem line rate.

The terminal interface is a firmware applicatio n program embe dded in the PR ISM 3301 which allows customizing the unit. This information can be accessed through the Local Access port on the front of the unit (page 10) using a terminal or terminal emulator or through the SLIP port on the rear of the unit using a telnet session.

Once a compatible terminal is properly connected to the unit, A terminal interface session is started by pressing the Enter key. The unit responds with a prompt. Type the command LOGIN followed by the password (the factory default is ROOT

QUERY LOOP

This command displays a summary of the Local DTE, Local Line, Remote Line, and Remote Line Request loopback conditions as either On or Off.

QUERY PERFORMANCE EFS

This command displays the performance data for Error Free Seconds. An Error Free Second for a DS3 channel is any second of transmission during which no bit errors are received. The proportion of error-free seconds is the ratio of one-second intervals not containing any bit errors to the total number of seconds in an observation period (usually 24 hours). This ratio is expressed as Percent Error-Free Seconds (%EFS).

QUERY PERFORMANCE ES

This command dis plays the perfor mance data for E rror Seconds. An Errored Second is any second during which one or more bits are in error, and includes detection of one or more M-frame Errors, Loss Of Signal (LOS), one or more Out Of Frame (OOF) conditions, or presence of an Alarm Indication Signal (AIS). Three types of Errored Seconds are monitored.

Errored Seconds - Type A (ES-A). A Type A Errored Second is one with exactly

one errored M-frame, and no occurrence of any LOS, OOF, or AIS condition.

Errored Seconds - Type B (ES-B). A Type B Errored Second is one with more than

one, but less than or equal to 44 errored M-frames, and no occurrence of any LOS, OOF, or AIS condition.

Errored Seconds - Type C (ES-C). A Type C Errored Second is one with more than

44 errored M-frames and/or an LOS, OOF, or AIS condition.

QUERY PERFORMANCE SES

number for y is 900. z is the total accumulated performance monitoring number in the last 24 hours, not

including the current interval. (For Error Free Seconds, this is the total percentage of the Error Free Seconds in the last 24 hours.)

m is the total accumu lated performance monitoring number in the current 15-minute interval. (For Error Free Seconds, this is the total percentage of the Error Free Seconds in the current 15-minute interval.)

26 CHAPTER 4: TER MINAL INTERFACE

Test Commands

The TEST commands perform loop and system tests on the unit. The PRISM 3301 provides three loopback options to assist in diagnosing transmission difficulties. These loopbacks can isolate a specific section of the transmission line allowing accurate testing of line integrity and transmission devices. Each command is followed by one or more keywords with each keyword separated by a space.

Only one loopback can be performed at a time.

TEST LOOP LOCAL DTE SET

This command performs a local DTE loopback test. The Local DTE Loopback can be initiated and cleared from either user interface. The Local DTE Loopback loops the incoming data from the local DTE back directly through the DTE connector interface, afte r the digital rec eive circuit, as shown in Figure 4-3. During the loopback, and AIS signal is sent to the network.

This command performs a local line loopback test. The Local Line Loopback can be activated and cleared from either user interface. The Local Line Loopback loops the DTE data back through the digital transmit and receive section of the PRISM 3301, as shown in Figure 4-4. When a local line loopback is active, an AIS signal is sent to t he network.

TEST LOOP REMOTE REQUEST

This command sends a pattern to the remote PRISM 3301 requesting it perform a remote line loopback. When the remote PRISM 3301 unit detects the loop request, it loops the network receive data back to the transmitting end after passing through the DS3 analog receiver circuit, as shown in Figure 4-5.

Reset Commands

Figure 4-5

Remote Line Loopback

This loopback can be initialized by either the local or far-end unit using either user interface. When initiated at the local end, the loop code must be transmitted to the far end. During th e loop test, all 1s ar e transmitted to the remote DTE fro m the remote PRISM 3301.

TEST LOOP REMOTE END

This command sends a pattern to the remote PRISM 3301 ending the remote line loopback.

TEST SYSTEM

This command reports the results of an on-going (background) system tests on the unit. The tests respond with a pass or fail report for the CODE EPROM and the NVRAM.

The RESET commands are associated with the performance monitoring of the PRISM 3301 by resetting the unit alarm and performance data. Each command is followed by one or more keywords with each keyword being separated by a space.

RESET ALARMS

This command clears the alarm queue and the unit restarts the alarm accumulation. Alarm history is lost. User confirma tion is require d for this command.

RESET PERFORMANCE

This command resets the performance monitoring data base. There must be a user confirmation to execute this command.

Reboot Commands

The REBOOT commands perform a warm or cold boot. Each command is followed by one or more keywords with each keyword being separated by a space.

28 CHAPTER 4: TER MINAL INTERFACE

REBOOT COLD

This comand resets the system configuration to the factory default values. All user-defined values are erased.

REBOOT WARM

This command restarts the unit without resetting the system configuration.

MIB R

This unit has an embedded SNMP agent which can be accessed through the built-in SLIP interface. Through this interface, access is gained to the 3301 through telnet or SNMP. The telnet session is simply a connection to the user interface of th e unit.

SNMP access to the unit is limited to Management Information Bases (MIBs) supported by the embedded SNMP agent. The SNMP agent supports MIB-II (RFC

1213), the latest DS3 MIB (RFC 1407), and a proprietary MIB. This appendix describes in detail how the embedded SNMP agent conforms to the RFCs.

The PRISM 3301 uses standard MIBs where applicable. There are instances where MIB files define variables and values that do not apply to the PRISM 3301 but have been left in the MIB for co mpleteness.

EFERENCE

MIB Loading Instructions

The MIBs were written using the standard ASN.1 notation. Any standard SNMP manager should be able to compile the MIBs. Although the exact procedure for loading MIBs may vary from one platform to another, the following basic steps are the same.

The SNMP manager has a directory for MIBs. Copy the files PRISM3301.MIB

and TXPORT.MIB into this directory. The MIBs are sent out on a DOS-formatted diskette, therefore, a DOS2UNIX command may have to be used for UNIX workstations (typical directories are snmp_mibs for OpenView Manager, and mibfiles for Castle Rock SNMPc

Start the SNMP manager if it is not already running. Select one of the menu

selections (or selection subheadings) that contain the SNMP MIB operations (this is the Options subheading for HP OpenView and Config subheading for SNMPc).

Choose the option for LOADING or COMPILING MIBs. Specify which MIBs to

load. If the manage r only allows one MIB to be loa ded at a time, load the file TXPORT.MIB before loading the PRISM3301.MIB.

Once the manager has successfully loaded the MIBs, the Verilink products can be

managed. If there are any questions, please call Verilink Product Support.

dsx3FracTable

{1.3.6.1.2.1.10.18.13} Implementation of this group is optional. It is designed for those systems dividing a DS3/E3 into channels containing different data streams that are of loca l interest. The DS 3/E3 fractiona l table identifies wh ich DS3/E3 channels associated with a CSU are being used to support a logical interface, i.e., an entry in the interfaces table from the Internet-standard MIB.

For example, consider a DS3 device with four high-speed links carrying router traffic, a feed for voice, a feed for video, and a synchronous channel for a non-routed protocol. The allocation of channels, in the dsx3FracTable, is described as follows.

Trap-PDU Format

Definition of Traps

Verilink products with SNMP support provide for detecting and reporting network alarms. When an alarm occurs , the SNMP agent se nds a trap messa ge (formatted per RFC 1157) to multiple destinations on the user’s network. The generic trap type is enterpriseSpecific (generic-trap = 7).

Network problems often cause more than one alarm type. In this case, multiple trap messages are generated, each with a different specific-trap type.

Some alarm types do not apply to certain products.

✍

The Trap-PDU has six mandatory fields as shown in the lower level of Figure A-1.

The Enterpri se field is compos ed of the Objec t Identifier of the M IB branch containing the trap definitions. Returns 1.3.6.1.4.1.425.4 txport traps.

The Agent Address Field is the agent’s IP address unit. This further identifies the trap sender to the NMS receiving the trap.

The Generic Trap field contains an integer value that represents one of the standard predefined traps fo r SNMP.

The Specific Trap field contains trap values defined for a particular enterprise. The values in this field are defined in the txport.mib and the following tables. The list is broken down in specific sections to group trap definitions by use.

The Time Stamp field contains the time the trap was generated in the form of time ticks that have elapsed since the agent was initialized. The value is in units of hundredths of a second. ifIndex is typically provided in the Variable Binding List.

The Variable Bindings List contains supplemental implementation information when included in the Trap-PDU.
