1.1 Start of the Graphical User Interface (GUI)
The graphical user interface has to be started manually when you logon to the RC asUNIX-user (e.g. rcsysadm).
Start of GUI at WS:
1. login as UNIX user (e.g. rcsysadm).
2. start the graphical user interface with the command omclogin
3. If the UNIX login name and password doesn't match with the RC login name andpassword, an additional login mask appears for the RC application user login.
In case of problems with logging in you can check whether the RC OMT SW is
running with:tail 100f /export/local/OMC/SFG/sfg_file/sfg_logfile_omt
Message "RC system is up" must appear somewhere at the end.
Start of GUI at XT:
1. Give access to the X-server on your machine by entering the command xhost +
2. Login on the WS where you want to start the GUI (e.g. rcsysadm):
telnet login as UNIX user on remote WS
3. start the graphical user interface with the command omclogin
4. If the UNIX login name and password doesn't match with the RC login name andpassword, an additional login mask appears for the RC application user login.
In case of problems with logging in you can check whether the RC OMT SW isrunning with:
tail 100f /export/local/OMC/SFG/sfg_file/sfg_logfile_omt
Message "RC system is up" must appear somewhere at the end.

Navigation within the panels
Within every panel, a set of icons will appear at the top, which allows navigating
through this panel and back to the superordinate panels. The meaning of the icons isfrom left to right:
Navigate Back: This button will open the panel, which is in the hierarchicalwindow structure one level above the active panel.
Fit to background: The panel will be rescaled to fit to the background size.
Fit mode on/off: If the fit mode is off, a rescaling of the panel is possible.
Scaling: The scaling factor is displayed here.
Close: The panel is closed.
Help: The online help system is started.
In list panels additional icons can be available as e.g. in the Alarm monitoring panel:
Save: Save the data displayed.
Print: Print the data displayed.
Find: Search for a key string in the list displayed.
Create Filter: Create a filter for the list panel.
Reload: Update the data in static list panels.

2.1 Hierarchy of Panels
A new "common platform" panel hierarchy has been introduced. The operator cannavigate from the General Sum panel to the RC Region Sum panel, which nowcontains besides the GERAN panels (CBC-Link Sum, O-Link Sum, RC Sum and BSSSum) also the UTRAN panels: NodeBs, R-Link Sum and RNS Sum.
In the RC Region Sum the operator decides whether he works with the GERAN orthe UTRAN objects.
Notes:
1. The Fig. 9 shows an asymmetry between GSM and UMR, e.g. all O-Links arelocated in an own panel, while R-links are not.
2. RC Region Sum and RC Sum Panel can be rather overloaded.
3. If only one technology is present, also panels of the non-installed technology canbe present, if those are created implicitly, e.g. NodeB Relations List, which thenremains empty.

2.2 RC Region Summary Panel
The RC Region summary panel is opened from the main application panel.It consists of several parts:
the title field
the menu line
access to commands via icons
a graphical area
a NED default area
and the global info line.
In other windows, in addition to these panel elements a functional area may bepresent.
The RC Region summary will show the condition of the RC, the CBCL and all theBSS connected to the OMP, represented by icons.
For every BSS two icons will appear on the screen, which may be located on abackground map.
The meaning of the two icons for every BSS is the following: One shows the condition of the OLINK (OMAL) signaling between the OMP and
the BSC concerned,
the second one shows the summary condition of the BSS and allows opening amore detailed view on this BSS.
All icons of the RC Region summary panel are shown with a blue bar at the top,indicating that a double click on that icon will open additional panels with moredetails.

2.10 Symbol Description
Maintenance state concept
The maintenance state is a newly defined proprietary state that is calculated as acombination of other relevant state attributes.
The maintenance state is accessible from Radio Commander Network ManagementApplication and CLI and is displayed within lists, help views and presented in the GUIby icon colors. All objects get the new maintenance state attribute in addition to theoriginal state attributes. The colors chosen for each maintenance state value andeach alarm state value are configurable.
Representation of the maintenance stateThe Maintenance State View shows the operator at once whether or not the systemis degraded. It presents this information in a way that is quickly and easily tounderstand using five colors to indicate the relevant states. The colors areconfigurable, the default values being:
Color Maintenance state
GREEN for working properly
YELLOW for minor problems
ORANGE for reduced functionality
RED for does not work
GREYfor unknown (e.g. duringalignment)
WHITE
if no maintenance state can
be calculated
The operator immediately sees which icons are calling for further action.
The Radio Commander can indicate the state change of the maintenance state bothvisually (icon change) and acoustically. The latter is sounded by a single beep orshort audio signal, which can be configured globally on the Radio Commander.
A dynamic creation of the icon is performed. The icon consists of several elements,like a frame, a picture and symbolic bitmaps that are assigned during runtime.

Two different frames for icons are available:
container icons (with possibility to navigate into a deeper hierarchy)
leaf icons (no deeper hierarchy possible)
TIPThe colors and icon symbols are the default values and can be customized usingNetwork Editor facilities.
TIPState status presentation (MST) is only provided for a predefined set of objects.
External objects can be visualized only via passive icons, which do not present anystate. Furthermore tools or scripts related to this objects can be handled via theoperator defined services mechanism.
Calculation of the maintenance state
The calculation of the maintenance state is normally based on the Alarm Status. Thisis similar to the already existing behavior of OMC of previous releases, which is alsobased on the Alarm Status.
Defaultcolor Interpretation Rule
Green for working properly ALS < minor
Yellow for minor problem ALS = minor
Orange for reduced functionality ALS = major
Red for does not work ALS = critical
Grey for unknown (e.g. duringalignment)
UNKNOWN = true
White if no maintenance state canbe calculated
The object does not supportthe attribute ALS
Alternatively, two further algorithms can be selected: the so-called standard basealgorithm, and the standard base simple algorithm.

State indication symbols for standard states
The following table shows the symbols that are dynamically placed on object icons to
indicate specific values or value combinations of the standard states, in addition tothe color. The state value conditions written in the first four columns have to beunderstood as ANDed per row; empty boxes mean "any value". If none of the rowsapplies, no standard-state indication symbol is shown on the object icon.
1) The symbols disabled, disabled-dependency, and enabled-degraded are displayed on the mainsymbol area of the icon. Note that, due to the state summarization rules, these three symbols are
"summarized" to the "most severe" of them according to the above order.The symbol locked is always propagated upwards the summarization tree.

Additional labels
Some objects, for which a relationship to one or more objects has to be displayed,
are represented by icons, which have up to two additional labels on the top of themain icon.
SS7 link: the related PCMA and TSLA objects are displayed by two label objects
BTSE Summary: the related PCMB are displayed in the label at the top of the icon.in case of multiple links the complete list is displayed.

Bullet Icons
To keep panel as uncluttered as possible, Radio Commander offers "bullet" mode for
icons. Bullet icons are a very compact form of icon representation. The bullet iconsmay be used for link objects and overloaded panels in general.
It is only used if the managed object is in the default state (MST = works properly,AST = unlocked). Otherwise the bullet explodes to the presentation by the normalicon.
In addition the operator can popup bullet icons to normal size.
Bullet icons, which represent managed objects, open to full size only if their statesdiffer from the default state (for example, not working properly). This allows you tointegrate a large number of icons in one panel and presents only the relevantinformation.
The following figure shows an example for a panel using the bullet mode for icons(detail of the panel) and the other figure shows the same network view, but an alarmwas occurred for one icon.

2.12 Entering Commands Using Multiple ObjectSelection
The Radio Commander offers the possibility of multiple object selection.
Multiple object selection means that you can select more than one managed objectfor execution of a command via the GUI. Different classes and instances of MOs canbe selected within a single action. The multiple object selection is done via icons inpanels or via list entries. Dialog windows provide the multiple object selection in theinput and output forms.
Multiple object selection in panels
The selected MOs must be contained in the same panel, user defined or defaultpanel. For the selected objects an allowed set of commands, according to the accessrights for each of concerned MOIs is displayed.
The selected objects are highlighted.
Multiple object selection is possible by:
using dragged rectanglemechanism: hold left mouse button and drag aroundobjects to be selected
selection/de-selection of single objects: -key + left mouse button onall objects to be selected
The following figure shows an example for a multiple object selection. In thisselection only the ackBlinkingcommand and customize services are available.
Multiple object selection in lists
Multiple object selection for list windows means that you can select more than onerow to execute a command. To do this, press the shift or control key and click onthe desired list entry. See example before, where the Show Detailed Viewcommand has been executed for two entries.
For the selected objects via the row selection an allowed set of commands, according
to the access rights is displayed. The selected rows are highlighted. The followingfigure shows the commands, which are offered in the ceased alarm list where tworows are selected:

Dialogue windows used by multiple object selection commands
The multiple object selection is done via icons in panels or via list entries. You can
use the Setdialog and e.g. the setCommentaction as an input dialog for more thanone object and modify parameters for the selected objects at once.
The following first figure shows a cutout of the set LICD Basics dialog. As shown,both FDN for the selected users are addressed.
The following second figure shows a cutout of the get LICD Basics dialog as anexample for an output dialog using the multiple object selection. The information forboth selected users is returned in a tabbed dialog.
This feature is also available via the CLI.
Via the CLI the multiple object selection is done using wild cards. The wild cardreplaces an instance number in the addressing line. See wildcards for detailedinformation on using this feature via the CLI

2.13 Additional Menu Icons in Set Commands
In the Set commands on the GUI additional icons are displayed ahead of the fieldsthe operator has to fill. They allow an easier handling especially in the case theoperator has to enter several similar Set commands, e.g. for different instances of thesame object.
The icons have the following meaning:
Copy: Copy the data entered in the fields.
Paste: Paste the data previously copied into the fields.
Current values: Display the currently set values in the fields.
System defaults: Fill the fields with the default values of parameters.
Save operator defaults: Save the data entered into the fields as operator defaultvalues.
Load operator defaults: Paste the data stored as operator defaults into the fields.

2.15 General Remarks About Lists
The Radio commander handles two types of lists:
so-called static lists, and
so-called dynamic lists.
In static lists the entries display the values at the time of request. An update of thevalues is possible and has to be started with the Update-button.
An example of a static list, the list of radio channels of a given TRX, is shown below.
In contrary to static lists, in dynamic lists the values are updated by the Radiocommander by itself. An example for such a dynamic list is the Alarm Monitor listshown below.
