A.1 BackgroundThis section describes the service ports used by management systems.

To ensure the network security, you can take measures on the customer's network. The followingare the two cases that affect the network security:

l Security filtering settings such as routers or firewalls are configured in the networkenvironment where the NMS runs. When carrying out the project, avoid the service portsused by the NMS being filtered by those security filtering settings.

l Some service ports providing system services are closed to prevent network or virus attacks.Note that the service ports used by the NMS should not be closed, and otherwise the NMSwill not run properly.

A.2 Notes and PrecautionsIn the practical communication process, the source (the server) and the sink (the client) userelevant ports. Usually you only need to specify the source port, and the sink port is dynamicallycreated.

Note the following during the project implementation:

l The service ports used by the NMS should not be closed.

l If there are routers or firewalls between the source and the sink, then check all ports usedby the source and the sink to make sure that they can be opened, and the source cancommunicate with the sink.

Alarm hold-off time Alarm delay includes start delay and enddelay. An alarm is not regarded as beinggenerated until the NE has been detecting itfor a period of time, and this period of time isthe alarm start hold-off time. An alarm is notregarded as being cleared until the NE hasbeen detecting the ending of it for a period oftime, and this period of time is the alarm endhold-off time. Setting the hold-off time canavoid the generation of unnecessary alarmsdue to misreport or jitter.

Alarm severity According to ITU-T recommendations, thealarm is classified into four severities:Critical, Major, Minor, Warning.

Alarm A visible or an audible indication to notify theperson concerned that a failure or anemergency has occurred. See also Event.

Attribute Property of an object.

B

Binding In virtual concatenated payloadconfiguration, designating one bindingnumber to identify the VC4s of the samevirtual concatenated payload is called "bind".If a fault occurs to one of the bound services,all bound services will switch as a whole.

Board View The Board View displays the ports and thepaths in different colors depending on theircurrent status, with legend and descriptionillustrated aside.

Bound path The VC Trunk refers to the 2 M paths whichare bound together to transmit Ethernet data.The VC Trunk is an entity between theEthernet port and the 2 M path.

C

Configuration data The data that configures the NE hardware forcoordination between this NE and other NEsin the entire network and operation ofspecified services. Configuration data is theinstruction file of NEs, and it is the key forefficient network running. The typicalconfiguration data includes boardconfiguration, clock configuration andprotection relationship.

Configure To set the basic parameters of an operationobject.

Connection point A reference point where the output of a trailtermination source or a connection is boundto the input of another connection, or wherethe output of a connection is bound to theinput of a trail termination sink or anotherconnection. The connection point ischaracterized by the information whichpasses across it. A bidirectional connectionpoint is formed by the association of acontradirectional pair.

Connection A "transport entity" which consists of anassociated pair of "unidirectionalconnections" capable of simultaneouslytransferring information in oppositedirections between their respective inputs andoutputs.

Cross-connect slot To perform GE ADM, an OTU board withthat function has to be in a cross-connect slot.Several successive cross-connect slots form across-connect unit group. You can onlyconfigure cross-connections within a cross-connect unit group.

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

Current performance data The performance data stored in the currentregister is called current performance data.The current 15-minute or 24-hour register(only one for each) is applied to collect theperformance data in the current monitoringperiod. It changed within the monitor period.

DCC Within an STM-N signal there are two DCCchannels, one is the 192 kbit/s DCC-Rchannel composed of bytes D1–D3, and theother is the 576 kbit/s DCC-M channelcomposed of bytes D4–D12. All NEs cancommunicate with one another through theDCC-R. The DCC-M is not the regeneratorsection overhead and does not supportcommunications among regenerators, and itis used to support communication channels ofmore universal purpose. For example, itsupports TMN as a physical channel of ECC.

E

ECC Embedded Control Channel. An ECCprovides a logical operations channelbetween SDH NEs, utilizing a datacommunications channel (DCC) as itsphysical layer.

F

Failure The fault cause persisted long enough toconsider the ability of an item to perform arequired function to be terminated. The itemmay be considered as failed; a fault has nowbeen detected.

Fault A fault is the inability of a function to performa required action. This does not include aninability due to preventive maintenance, lackof external resources, or planned actions.

H

History alarms Alarms that have cleared and beenacknowledged.

History performance data The performance data stored in the historyregister and the auto-report performance datastored on the Web LCT are called historyperformance data in a unified way.

I

Route The IP route selection is in table drivingmode. In each host and each router of theInternet, there is a routing table that containsinformation about how the service istransmitted from the source to the sink,providing a basis for route selection. Ethernetstatic routing in ET1 refers to the mappingrelationship between the Ethernet port and thebound path. Its routing type includes portrouting and VLAN routing. Port routing: Itmeans configuring a route between theEthernet port and the bound path port, whichis usually used for point-to-point networkingcommunication; VLAN routing: It meansconfiguring a route between the Ethernet portand the bound path port based on the VLANservice. It can be used flexibly in point-to-point, point-to-multipoint or multipoint-to-multipoint communication. Theimplementation is to divide and converge thedata stream according to the VLAN flag ofthe packet. As a VLAN flag can be added tothe Ethernet port, the equipment can beapplied more flexibly.

S
