1 Introduction

TELNET GPON Management System (TGMS) is a tool provided to manage and control

TELNET GPON OLT products. It allows operators to manage easily their OLT devices.

TGMS is a web-based system, which is distributed within an entire Virtual Machine (VM). This

VM consists of a Linux distribution operating system, with the database managers, programs

and Web-servers required in order to run the management application. TGMS is connected to

the OLTs by configuring their IP addresses; this means that layer 3 connectivity between TGMS

and OLTs is required.

Operators can access through a webpage to all the powerful functionalities provided by the

TGMS, therefore IP connectivity is also required between operators terminal and the TGMS.

The TGMS is currently provided as a Virtualbox VM image1. Virtualbox is an open-source

application to run VMs, which is free to use, and which is available for the main operating

systems (all Windows versions and most Linux distributions). Optionally the TGMS is also

available as a VMWare virtual machine2.

In a virtualization environment like this one, the operating systems where the VMs are installed

is known as “host”, and each operating system running within a VM is known “guest”. TGMS is

an Ubuntu-based guest, which can run on the top of most of host operating systems.

2 Virtualbox TGMS VM

2.1 Virtualbox installation

Virtualbox can be easily installed in any operating system. Firstly proceed to download the

software setup, and get your correct software version and proceed to install it.

https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

Follow the steps. Installing Virtualbox does not have any specific requirement, in case of

doubts, please contact TELNET support.

2.2 Obtaining the TGMS VM

TELNET probably has provided you a *.vdi file, gigabytes sized, which is the file containing the

TGMS VM. Proceed to copy the VDI image in a HD partition where there is enough space,

because the filesize can grow depending on the usage.

2.3 Creating a new VM

Run “Oracle VM Virtualbox” and click “New”.

Figure 1: Creating a new VM

Insert the name you would like to assign to the new VM. As the TGMS is based on a Ubuntu

operating system, choose Type=Linux and Version=Ubuntu and click “next”.

Select the RAM memory and click “next” button. TGMS is not a memory-consuming application;

probably 512 MB will be enough, even less depending on the number of OLT and ONTs you are

expecting to use. In any case, it is possible to modify later the value and assign more RAM

memory.

Figure 2: Configuring RAM memory

Now tick the option “Use an existing virtual hard drive file” and use the folder icon to browse the

file VDI that TELNET provided to you.

Figure 3: Select the VDI file

Last step, click “create” button to finish the VM creation.

2.4 Advanced configuration

Select the recently created VM in the left panel, and click on the “Setting” icon. A new window

will appear. Please navigate through the tabs and options of the left panel in order to familiarize

yourself with the different available options.

Figure 4: Settings window

It is probably not necessary to make any modifications in the Setting menu. Although, some

setups could require modifications, Flash Storage systems could require the Solid-state

checkbox to be checked, other EXT4 formatted drives may require host I/O cache. Please pay

attention to the warning messages provided by Virtualbox in case of errors, since they usually

contain the solution to the detected problem.

2.5 Configuring network interfaces

It is necessary to configure the network interfaces. Please proceed to the Network Configuration

in the Settings window. Then configure the Adapter 1 as “bridged adapter”.

Figure 5: Configuration of Adapter 1

The Bridge Adapter mode will use the real network interface directly from the VM, allowing

almost direct access to this resource. The bridge adapter has to be attached to the interface

where the management network and OLTs are connected. Typically Adapter 1 will be attached

to an Ethernet Controller as usually computers are connected to networks through RJ45

Ethernet interfaces (eth0 in many Linux hosts). However, some configuration could be attached

to the Wireless controller instead (wlan0 in some Linux hosts).

It is also recommended to activate the second network adapter for local access and recovery.

Click on “Adapter 2” label and enable it. Then attach it to “host-only” mode, for an interface to be

automatically created in your host operating system.

Click on the “OK” button to save changes.

2.6 Launching the VM

Select the TGMS_demo VM and click the “START” button on the top panel. A new window will

appear, first only black windows, and after about 2-3 minutes it will prompt some information.

The login prompt indicates that the booting up is finished.

Figure 7: Booting up the TGMS VM

The TGMS VM is now running, it can be minimized.

Note: TELNET does not provide access to the TGMS guest operating system. All the required

parameters can be configured through the webpage interface. If you consider necessary to get

access into the TGMS guest, please contact TELNET support for more information.

2.7 Advanced booting up of TGMS

It is possible to configure automatic TGMS booting up, also in Server operating system hosts.

Virtualbox provides a “headless” mode, where VMs are running in the background. Check

online information about how to set up this configuration in your host operating system. In case

you encounter any problems, contact to TELNET support.

3 Accessing to the TGMS webpage

TGMS has the following IP address preconfigured:

1. Adapter 1: 172.26.128.1/24.

2. Adapter 2: 192.168.56.99/24

Adapter 2 will be always be active locally. The host virtual interface IP is configured by DHCP in

range 192.168.56.0/24, the guest IP is manually configured to be always the same:

192.168.56.99.

The Adapter 1 connectivity depends on the link status of the network adapter it is attached to.

To reach the TGMS from another Internet browser in another terminal, it has to be connected to

the management network and within the same IP addresses range. Even if trying to access

locally through the Adapter 1, host network interface has to be configured within the same IP

range, for example 172.26.128.2/24.

Then, access to the TGMS by using your Internet browser (Firefox and Chrome are

recommended).

http://172.26.128.1 or

http://192.168.56.99
