Glossary

1   Introduction

A MINI-LINK TN Network Element (NE) has an embedded Web server hosting an Embedded Element Manager (EEM) application. Local management is performed using a Local Craft Terminal (LCT), that is a locally connected PC, accessing the EEM from a Web browser. The EEM can also be accessed remotely over the DCN or launched from MINI-LINK Manager.

This operating instruction mainly describes how to use an LCT to set up, configure and maintain MINI-LINK TN equipment. However, the information is valid for other ways of accessing the EEM, unless otherwise stated.

MINI-LINK Service Manager (MSM) is conveniently launched from the EEM for management of Radio Terminals with MMU2.

2   System Overview

MINI-LINK TN provides a platform for flexible, scalable and cost-effective wireless transmission. The system offers integrated traffic routing, PDH and SONET multiplexing, Ethernet transport as well as protection mechanisms on link and network level. The software configurable traffic routing minimizes the use of cables, improves network quality and facilitates control from a remote location.

The modular system enables new interface units to be added while in operation. This hot insertion of new plug-in units and automatic software upgrade ensure that traffic is operational during replacement and functional upgrade.

Configurations range from small end sites with one single Radio Terminal to large hub sites where all the traffic from a number of southbound links is aggregated into one link, microwave or optical, in the northbound direction.

A Network Element (NE) comprises two parts:

The RAU and the antenna are easily installed on a wide range of support structures. The RAU is fitted directly to the antenna as standard, integrated installation. The RAU and the antenna can also be fitted separately and connected by a flexible waveguide. In all cases, the antenna is easily aligned and the RAU can be disconnected and replaced without affecting the antenna alignment.

Figure 8   RAUs and antennas in different installation alternatives

The antennas range from 0.2 m (9") up to 3.7 m (12ft) in diameter Antennas up to 1.8 m in diameter can be fitted integrated with the RAU and all antennas can be installed separately, if required.


2.3   Management

Below follows a summary of the tools used to manage a MINI-LINK TN network.

EEM

The element management function is implemented as an Embedded Element Manager (EEM) application, accessed using a standard web browser. For local management a Local Craft Terminal (LCT) is used, that is the EEM is accessed locally by connecting a PC to the NPU with a crossed Ethernet cable (NPU1 ANSI) or a USB cable (NPU2 A/NPU1 BA). The EEM can also be accessed over the site LAN or remotely over the DCN.

Local management of Radio Terminals based on MMU2 or is mainly done with MSM, which is launched from the EEM. Terminals based on MMU2 BA, MMU2 CA are handled by the EEM itself.

CLI

A Command Line Interface (CLI) is provided for advanced IP router configuration and troubleshooting. It is similar to Cisco's industry standard router configuration and is accessed from a Command Prompt window using telnet.

MINI-LINK Manager

Remote management is typically done using MINI-LINK Manager, the network management tool for all MINI-LINK products. The EEM is launched from MINI-LINK Manager for access of a single NE.

Each NE provides an SNMP agent enabling easy integration with any other SNMP based management system.

3   Getting Started

This section covers the following:

3.1   System Requirements

Make sure that your PC fulfils the following requirements:


3.2   Installing Software

The following LCT related software can be installed on the PC:

3.2.1   Installing and Configuring BulletProof FTP Server

BulletProof FTP server (2.15 or later) is used for uploading and downloading load modules and configuration files. A user account for MINI-LINK TN on the FTP server and a correct directory structure must be created.

3.2.1.1   Installing BulletProof FTP Server

To install BulletProof FTP Server with default settings:

  1. Start the BulletProof FTP Server installation program from the MINI-LINK Service Software CD (LZY 214 2358/1).
  2. In the Licence Agreement dialog box, click Next to accept the licence agreement.
  3. In the Installation Options dialog box, click Next to accept the installation type Standard.
  4. In the Installation directory dialog box, click Next to accept the default location of the FTP server files.
  5. In the Completed dialog box, click Close to exit the installation program.

3.2.1.2   Directory Structure of the FTP Server

When using the FTP server certain directories must be present as follows:

-- tn_ftp_home
   |-- tn_backup_configuration
   |-- tn_error_log
   |-- tn_licenses
   |-- tn_system_release
       |-- ml_tn_software

Note:  
A correct directory structure is a prerequisite for software upgrade and load of files.

The root directory (tn_ftp_home) and the directories directly below (tn_backup_configuration, tn_error_log and tn_system_release) are created by the FTP Server installation program on the MINI-LINK Service Software CD.

tn_backup_configuration is used to store configuration files uploaded from an NE as backup and configuration files to be downloaded to an NE. A configuration file is named <hostname>.cfg where <hostname> is typically the name or IP address of an NE.

tn_error_log is used to store error log files loaded from the NE, for example <hostname>_active.elog.

Note:  
Since tn_backup_configuration and tn_error_log are likely to hold files belonging to several NEs it is important to use file names that can be easily identified. To avoid overwriting existing files the extension .old should be added, for example <hostname>.cfg.old, before loading a new file to the FTP server.

tn_licenses is used for LKFs containing licenses to be installed on an NE.

tn_system_release is used for load modules and the directories below are created when installing a load module, see Section 3.2.5.

MINI-LINK TN 2.1 ANSIintroduces a new software upgrade concept which puts new requirements on the directory structure. In MINI-LINK TN 1.1 all load modules are contained in one Software System Release (SSR) file. The content is described in an System Release Description File (SRDF).

In MINI-LINK TN 2.1 ANSI, each load module resides in a separate directory. The load modules included in a Software Baseline (SBL) is described in a Software Baseline Description File (SBDF).

To facilitate software upgrade and NPU repair in a network with both "post-2.1" and "pre-2.1" products, the software must be stored in both the old (1.1) and new (2.1 and later) file structure.

Example 1and Example 2show lists of available files under tn_system_release.

Example 1   Old (1.1) directory structure

.\tn_system_release\CXP9010021_1_R3A\
						srdf.tn                        (SRDF 2.0)
						CXP901584_1_R3A                (NPU1 ANSI)
						CXP9010618_1_R1A               (NPU1 BA)
						CXP9010617_1_R3A               (NPU2 A)
						CXCR102004_1_R3A               (LTU 155)

Example 2   New (2.1 and later) directory structure

.\tn_system_release\ml_tn_software\
						CXP9010021_1\CXP9010021_1_R3A  (SBDF 2.1 and later)
						CXP901584_1\CXP901584_1_R3A    (NPU1 ANSI)
						CXP9010618_1\CXP9010618_1_R1A  (NPU1 BA)
						CXP9010617_1\CXP9010617_1_R3A  (NPU2 A)
						CXCR102004_1\CXCR102004_1_R3A  (LTU 155)

3.3   Starting the LCT

This section describes how to connect the PC to the equipment and access the EEM. It also contains supplementary information regarding PC and browser settings.

3.3.1   Starting the LCT for NPU2 A/NPU1 BA

This section describes how to start the LCT when working with an NPU2 A or NPU1 BA.

Locally, the NE is accessed using a USB connection and a default IP address (10.0.0.1). The PC (and the FTP server on the PC) obtains a dynamic IP address (10.0.0.2) from a DHCP server in the NE. This means that the PC should be configured to use dynamic IP addressing.

Remotely, the NE is accessed using the IP address to be used during normal operation. It is typically found in the site documentation or on the information plate of the NE. The PC uses a static or dynamic IP address, depending on whether a DHCP server is used or not, and must be configured accordingly. It is recommended to use a DHCP server if available.

The NE has two modes of operation as described below.

3.3.1.1   Normal Mode

This mode is used for normal operation, allowing complete configuration possibilities. The BR (yellow) LED is OFF when the NE is in Normal mode.

Figure 10   LEDs and BR button on the NPU1 BA. For a full description of the LEDs, see the MINI-LINK TN ANSI Indoor Installation Manual.

3.3.1.2   NPU Installation Mode

This mode is used for replacement of the NPU. The LCT will give the possibility to download a new configuration file in order to restore the configuration.

Default user names and passwords are used for the NE and the FTP server, see Section 9.1 and Section 3.2.1.3.

The NPU Installation mode is entered by inserting the NPU in an active NE (only NPU1 BA) and immediately pressing the BR button during NPU power up (Fault (red), Power (green) and BR (yellow) LEDs on the NPU are ON). The BR (yellow) LED will start flashing, indicating that the NE is in NPU Installation mode. The NPU Installation mode is normally left as a result of the completed replacement procedure. However, the mode can always be left by pressing the BR button.

The procedures of replacing the NPU is described in Section 10.7 and Section 10.8.

3.3.1.3   Starting the LCT

To start the LCT:

  1. Do one of the following:
  2. In the Enter Network Password dialog box, type the user name and password, and click OK. For more information see Section 9.1.
  3. A non-configured NE lacks a configuration a file and an installation wizard will be provided for the initial setup, see Figure 11. The initial setup is described in Section 5.

    A configured NE will display a page like the one in Figure 12. From here you can perform all operations, for example configuration, see Section 6.

    Should the NE be in NPU Installation mode, the LCT will give the possibility to download a new configuration file in order to restore the configuration, see Figure 13. The procedures of replacing the NPU is described in Section 10.7 and Section 10.8.

3.3.2   Starting the LCT for NPU1 ANSI

This section describes how to start the LCT when working with an NPU1 ANSI. The NE is accessed using an Ethernet connection.

3.3.2.1   Operation Modes

The NE can operate in different modes providing different functions when working with the LCT. Below follows a short description of the different modes.

Node Installation Mode

This mode is used for initial setup of an NE, allowing a limited set of parameters to be set. It is also used for some specific maintenance procedures. The NE is accessed using a default IP address (10.0.0.1) and the PC (and the FTP server on the PC) obtains a dynamic IP address (10.0.0.2) from a DHCP server in the NE. This means that the PC should be configured to use dynamic IP addressing. However, using the static IP address 10.0.0.2 on the PC will also work.

Default user name and password are used for the NE and the FTP server, see Section 9.1 and Section 3.2.1.3.

The Node Installation mode is entered by pressing the BR button on the NPU1 ANSI during NE power up, that is when the Fault (red), Power (green) and BR (yellow) LEDs on the NPU1 ANSI are ON. The BR (yellow) LED will then start flashing, indicating that the NE is in Node Installation mode.

Figure 14   Entering Node Installation mode

When the initial setup is completed, the NE leaves Node Installation mode and goes into Normal mode. However, the Node Installation mode can always be left by pressing the BR button. An automatic save of the running configuration is always performed, when leaving the Node Installation mode.

The initial setup is described in Section 5.

NPU Installation Mode

This mode is used for replacement of the NPU. The LCT will give the possibility to download a new configuration file in order to restore the configuration.

The NE is accessed using a default IP address (10.0.0.1) and the PC (and the FTP server on the PC) obtains a dynamic IP address (10.0.0.2) from a DHCP server in the NE. This means that the PC should be configured to use dynamic IP addressing. However, using the static IP address 10.0.0.2 on the PC will also work.

Default user names and passwords are used for the NE and the FTP server, see Section 9.1 and Section 3.2.1.3.

The NPU Installation mode is entered by inserting the NPU in an active NE and immediately pressing the BR button during NPU power up (Fault (red), Power (green) and BR (yellow) LEDs on the NPU are ON). The BR (yellow) LED will start flashing, indicating that the NE is in NPU Installation mode. The mode is also entered if the NPU1 ANSI lacks a startup configuration file.

The NPU Installation mode is normally left as a result of the completed replacement procedure. However, the mode can always be left by pressing the BR button.

The procedure of replacing the NPU1 ANSI 2 is described in Section 10.6.

Normal Mode

This mode is used for normal operation, allowing complete configuration possibilities. The NE is accessed using the IP address to be used during normal operation. It is typically found in the site documentation or on the information plate of the NE. The PC uses a static or dynamic IP address, depending on whether a DHCP server is used or not, and must be configured accordingly. It is recommended to use a DHCP server if available.

The BR (yellow) LED is OFF when the NE is in Normal mode.

This procedure is followed by outdoor equipment installation, indoor and outdoor radio cabling, and antenna alignment. Follow the instructions in MINI-LINK TN ANSI Indoor Installation Manual, and MINI-LINK TN, MINI-LINK HC, MINI-LINK E Outdoor Installation Manual.

The initial setup is finished by the configuration of NE parameters, that is security, DCN and system parameters. This can be done in two ways:

5.2   Automatic Configuration of NE Parameters

This section describes the configuration of NE parameters, using a configuration file. This always includes configuration of security, DCN and system parameters. The configuration file could also include the configuration of plug-in units and interfaces.

The configuration files are located in the <drive:>\tn_ftp_home\tn_backup_configuration folder on the FTP server. A configuration file is named <hostname>.cfg where <hostname> is typically the name or IP address of an NE. The file extension .cfg.old is used when a configuration file is uploaded using a file name that already exists.

Note:  
For NPU2 A/NPU1 BA, you can exit the wizard at any time by clicking Exit Wizard on the Configuration menu.

To configure the NE parameters automatically:

  1. On the Configuration menu, click Automatic Configuration.
  2. On the Automatic Configuration page, click Download Configuration File.
  3. On the Load Configuration page, type the File Name and then click Apply.
  4. Wait until the configuration has been downloaded, then click Apply when you have verified that this is the configuration you want.

    If the configuration file requires new software to be loaded, this will be done automatically. This requires that the software is present in the <drive:>\tn_ftp_home\tn_system_release\ml_tn_software folder.

    A progress bar displays the progress of the software upgrade. When the download and software upgrade is finished, the NE will make a warm restart. After the restart you can continue with the configuration of the plug-in units and their interfaces, see Section 6.

  5. For an NPU1 ANSI the following also applies:

    After the restart it will run in Normal mode. The IP address of the NE is changed during the automatic configuration. To start the LCT in Normal mode you have to enter the URL http://<IP address> where IP address is typically found in the site documentation or on the information plate of the NE. See also Section 3.3.2.3.

5.3   Manual Configuration of NE Parameters

This section describes the configuration of the NE parameters, without using a configuration file. This includes configuration of security, DCN and system parameters.

Note:  
Make sure the Radio Terminals which will carry DCN are up and that the antennas are aligned before starting this procedure, see Section 5.1.

Note:  
The procedure below may contain steps not applicable to your configuration.

        6   Configuration Management

        This section contains information and instructions related to configuration tasks performed after the initial setup has been completed. It includes the configuration of plug-in units, Radio Terminals, interfaces, traffic routing, protection and DCN.

        The following is covered:

        6.1   Typical Workflow

        When the initial setup is completed, the following steps represent a typical workflow:

        1. Configure plug-in units and their interfaces, see Section 6.4.
        2. Finalize the configuration of the Radio Terminals, see Section 6.5.
        3. Create APS protection, see Section 6.6.1.
        4. Create 1+1 DS1 SNCP protection, see Section 6.7.1.
        5. Configure the Ethernet Bridge (NPU2 A), see Section 6.8.
        6. Create traffic routing of DS1 interfaces, see Section 6.9.1.
        7. Upload a configuration file as backup to an FTP server, see Section 6.12.

        6.2   Administrative Status

        The desired status of a plug-in unit or interface is set as Administrative Status on the applicable Configuration page.

        The signification of the administrative status of a plug-in unit is described in Table 3.

        Table 3    Administrative status of a plug-in unit

        Administrative status

        Description

        In Service

        Sets the unit in operating mode.

        Out of Service

        Sets the unit in non-operating mode. All notifications from the unit and its interfaces are disabled. No active alarms are displayed.

        The signification of the administrative status of an interface is described in Table 4.

        Table 4    Administrative status of an interface

        Administrative status

        Description

        Up

        Sets the interface in operating mode.

        Down

        Sends an AIS instead of traffic on the interface (in both directions). Notifications from this interface and higher layer interfaces are suppressed.

        When a new unconfigured plug-in unit is inserted the administrative status of the unit is In Service and its interfaces are Up by default. The notifications from the unit and its interfaces will be enabled. However, to prevent too many alarms from not traffic routed DS1s, notifications are default disabled on these interfaces.


        6.3   Licensing Optional Features

        Depending on which plug-in units are installed, all NEs have a baseline of features that are available without licenses. If the installed NPU has an RMM, the set of available features can be expanded by installing licenses that unlock additional functionality in the NE. Depending on how the equipment was ordered, licenses can also be pre-installed at delivery.

        The process for migrating from MINI-LINK TN R2 to MINI-LINK TN R3 is described in the document Migration into License Management, 3/221 02-CSH 109 32/1 Uen

        6.3.1   Using Optional Features

        All optional features are indicated by a icon in the user interface. This icon only means that this feature is licensed; it is not an indication on whether a license for this feature is available or not.

        When you try to use an optional feature, you may or may not get a warning or error message. This depends on whether license warnings and errors are set to be suppressed on this NE. See Section 6.3.10 for instructions on how to suppress warnings and errors.

        License warnings are issued whenever you are using an optional feature without a license; however, the feature can still be used. Licence errors means that the feature is locked (disabled) due to missing licenses. In MINI-LINK TN R3, optional features are never locked. Future releases of MINI-LINK TN may lock features if licenses are missing.

        If you have upgraded the NE to MINI-LINK TN R3, you should create a license request file and provide it to your local Ericsson representative. See Section 6.3.4 for instructions on how to create such files.

        6.3.2   License Key File (LKF)

        Licenses are distributed in the form of LKFs which can be stored in those NEs where additional functionality is required.

        An LKF is an XML file that may contain one or more licenses for one or more optional features. When installed, the LKFs are stored on the Removable Memory Module (RMM), which is located on the NE NPU. Licenses for a particular feature may be provided by one or more LKFs.

        The LKF is identified by issuer, fingerprint, and sequence number:

        As several LKFs from different issuers can be stored on a single RMM, the effective set of licenses is the sum of all licenses from all LKFs.

        6.3.3   Removable Memory Module (RMM)

        The RMM is the physical media where the License key Files (LKFs) are stored. Several LKFs, from different issuers, may be stored on the RMM. Every RMM has a unique fingerprint that is used to confirm that the licenses in an LKF may be used on the NE where the RMM is installed (the fingerprint is the same as the Chip S-Nr printed on the RMM). The RMM is installed on the NPU in the NE.

        Note:  
        You cannot install an RMM on an NPU1 ANSI. This means that there will be no locking of optional features.

        Figure 26 shows where the RMM is installed on the different units.

        Figure 26   Location of the RMM

        The RMM also stores the current configuration of the NE, and the name implies, the RMM is removable. This means that, if the NPU needs to be replaced, you can remove the RMM from the old NPU and install it on the new NPU. All licensed functionality will then automatically work with the new NPU and you can use the configuration stored on the RMM.

        6.3.4   Requesting Licenses

        Licenses that where bought in previous releases of MINI-LINK TN are not bound to individual NEs. Instead, they are registered on a per-customer basis. To be able to use these licenses in MINI-LINK TN R3, they need to be transformed into licenses that can be installed on each NE. This transformation of licenses require that you provide Ericsson with detailed information about the licenses you need for each individual NE.

        To simplify this process, you can create a license request file for the network or for single NE, after upgrading to MINI-LINK TN R3. This is an XML file that contains all information that is needed to do the transformation of licenses. This file should be provided to your local Ericsson representative who forwards it to the Ericsson central license register, where it is used to generate one or more LKFs containing licenses for the NEs.

        Note:  
        The following procedure describes how to create a license request file for a single NE. However, if you are migrating an entire network, you are recommended to do this as a batch job from ServiceOn Microwave, or from a version of MINI-LINK Manager that supports this.

        The process for migrating from MINI-LINK TN R2 to MINI-LINK TN R3 is described in the document Migration into License Management, 3/221 02-CSH 109 32/1 Uen

        To create a licence request file:

        1. In the Navigation Tree, click the NE.
        2. On the Tools menu, click Licenses, and then click Licences.
        3. Click Create License Request.
        4. In the Quantity column, specify how many licenses you need for each feature.

          The default value in the Quantity column is the difference between the value in the Installed column and the value in the Used column. This value cannot be negative.

        5. Click Save License Request to save the license request to a file.

        6.3.5   Installing Licenses

        To change the set of licenses, you need to download and store one or more LKFs on the RMM:

        1. In the Navigation Tree, click the NE.
        2. On the Tools menu, click Licenses, and then click Install Licences.
        3. Under FTP, do one of the following:

          The LKF must be located in the tn_ftp_home\tn_licenses folder on the FTP server.

        4. In the File Name box, type the file name of the LKF or click Browse to search for the file.
        5. Click Apply.
          Note:  
          If the fingerprint in the LKF does not match the RMM fingerprint, you will get a warning.

        6.3.6   Viewing Available Optional Features

        Based on the AMM type and software baseline, the system keeps a list of all optional features that can be used. The system also keeps track of how many licenses are installed for each feature and how many of those licenses that are used.

        To see a list of all available optional features, license availability, and license usage:

        1. In the Navigation Tree, click the NE.
        2. On the Tools menu, click Licenses, and then click Licences.

          A list of available optional features is shown.

          The Installed column contains a summary of all installed licenses from all LKFs on the RMM. The Used column shows how many licenses that are needed for the current configuration, that is, how many optional features that are used.

          If the value in the Used column is greater than the corresponding value in the Installed column, the NE is using optional features without licenses.

          If the value in the Used column is less than the corresponding value in the Installed column, the NE has licenses for unused features.

          The Status column shows the status of the licenses for this feature:

          Clicking a feature opens a list of installed licenses for that feature, see Section 6.3.8.

        6.3.7   Viewing a List of Stored LKFs

        An RMM may store several LKFs, provided they have different issuers.

        To see a list of all stored license files:

        1. In the Navigation Tree, click the NE.
        2. On the Tools menu, click Licenses, and then click Licence File Overview.

          A list of all stored LKFs is shown.

          Clicking an LKF opens a page where the XML source of the LKF is shown, see Section 6.3.9.

        6.3.8   Viewing a List of Optional Features with Installed Licenses

        An LKF may contain licenses for more than one feature, and licenses for one feature may be contained in several LKFs. The system keeps track of which licenses are installed from which LKF.

        To view a list of features with installed licenses:

        1. In the Navigation Tree, click the NE.
        2. On the Tools menu, click Licenses, and then click Licence File Inventory.

          A list of features with installed licenses is shown.

          If several LKFs contains licenses for the same feature, the list will contain one entry for each LKF. For example, if two LKFs both contains a license for a specific feature, that feature will appear twice in the list.

          Clicking a feature opens a page where the XML source of the LKF is shown, see Section 6.3.9.

        6.3.9   Viewing LKF Details

        The LKF is an XML file containing licenses from an issuer. To see the details of that file, you can view the XML source.

        To view the license file details:

        1. In the Navigation Tree, click the NE.
        2. On the Tools menu, click Licenses, and then click Licence File Overview.

            6.9   Working with Traffic Routing of DS Interfaces

            This section describes how to create, modify and delete traffic routing of DS1 interfaces.

            Note:  
            If MINI-LINK Connexion is used to provision end-to-end DS1 connections, then only use the EEM to view current connections. Creating, modifying, and deleting DS1 connections shall in this case be done with MINI-LINK Connexion.

            6.9.1   Creating Traffic Routing of DS1 Interfaces

            Traffic routing of DS1 interfaces can be done in two ways:

            6.9.1.1   Creating Traffic Routing of DS1 Interfaces Using the Matrix View

            1. In the Navigation Tree, click the NE.
            2. On the Configuration menu, click Traffic Routing.
            3. On the Traffic Routing Select Interfaces page, under Interface Type, select DS1 and then click Select.
            4. Under Select units for interface views, select the two units, one from each list, that contain the interfaces to be routed.
            5. Click Matrix View.
            6. On the Traffic Routing Matrix View page, click the blank button in the intersection point between the two interfaces to be routed. This creates a nameless traffic routing indicated by an X button in the intersection point.
              Note:  
              You can use an interface interval link to locate interfaces currently not present on an axis.

              Note:  
              If there is no blank button in the intersection point the two interfaces cannot be used. To find out why, click the interface names to display the DS1 Overview page. The possible reasons can be summarized as follows:
              • One or both of the interfaces are already routed or part of a 1+1 DS1 SNCP protection where the protected interface is already routed.
              • The two interfaces are part of the same 1+1 DS1 SNCP protection.

              Note:  
              The interfaces on an MMU2 in a protected (1+1) Radio Terminal are denoted in accordance with the SMU2 ANSI.

            To name the traffic routing (optional):

            6.11   DCN Configuration

            This section covers general information and procedures related to the Data Communication Network (DCN), providing IP based transport of operation and maintenance data between management systems and MINI-LINK TN equipment.

            The DCN parameters are normally set during the initial setup but can also be changed later following procedures in this section.

            6.11.1   Overview

            Each NE holds an internal IP router using numbered and un-numbered interfaces. PPP interfaces configured for an Area Border Router (ABR) use numbered interfaces. All other interfaces are un-numbered, that is inheriting the IP address of the router.

            Basic DCN parameters, such as IP address and default gateway, are set during the initial setup, see Section 5.3. These parameters can always be changed from the LAN/Servers Configuration page, see Section 11.16.

            The preferred IP routing strategy for MINI-LINK TN is the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol, which makes use of automatically updated routing tables in order to determine the most efficient transmission of data. The OSPF areas can be created during the initial setup or at a later occasion, see Section 6.11.5. The Command Line Interface (CLI) is used for advanced OSPF configuration and troubleshooting, see Section 6.14.3.

            MINI-LINK TN supports static routing from the EEM. Static routing can be configured during the initial setup or at a later occasion, see Section 6.11.3. The CLI also provides configuration of static routing, see Section 6.14.4.

            The available DCN channels are briefly described below.

            DS1   One DS1 interface per NPU1 ANSI NE and up to two DS1 interfaces per NPU1 BA/NPU2 A NE can be used for transport of DCN traffic. The interfaces can be selected during the initial setup, see Section 5.3. It is also possible to select the interface from the DS1 Configuration page, see Section 11.52.
            Radio Terminal   An unprotected (1+0) protected or protected (1+1) Radio Terminal provides two 64 kbit/s PPP interfaces by default.
            OC-3/STS-3   The OC-3/STS-3 interface (stand-alone or APS) on the LTU 155 ANSI provides PPP interfaces in the RSOH and MSOH bytes of the SONET frame. The default bandwidth is DCCR=192 kbit/s and DCCM=192 kbit/s. The bandwidth can be changed, see Section 6.11.2.1.
            LAN   The LAN interface on the NPU can be used to connect to an external DCN. The NPU 8x2 provides 10 Mbit/s. For NPU2/NPU1 B it is possible to configure the interface to 10 or 100 Mbit/s on the LAN/Servers Configuration page, see Section 11.16.

            For ATU (B), the LAN interface is used to connect to an external DCN. It is possible to configure this 10 Mbit/s interface on the LAN/Servers Configuration page, see Section 11.16.

            DIG SC   The SMU2 ANSI in co-siting mode provides 2x64 kbit/s channels for DCN connection, typically to co-sited MINI-LINK E equipment, see Section 6.11.2.2.

            For more specific information on DCN for MINI-LINK, see MINI-LINK DCN Guideline.

            6.11.2   Configuring the PPP Interfaces

            This section describes how to configure the PPP interfaces. They can specifically be used to change the default bandwidth of the OC-3/STS-3 PPP interfaces and to set the number of DIG SC (2x64 kbit/s) for SMU2 ANSI in co-siting mode.

            To configure the PPP interfaces:

            1. In the Navigation Tree, click the NE.
            2. On the Configuration menu, click DCN and then click PPP.
            3. On the PPP Configuration page, for each interface, specify the Administrative Status and Notifications.
            4. For a numbered interface, type the IP Address. The box should be left empty for an un-numbered interface.
              Caution!  
              It is recommended to set all interfaces destined to the same NE as either numbered or un-numbered. Mixing both types may cause DCN instability.
            5. Click Apply.

            6.11.2.1   Changing the Bandwidth of the OC-3/STS-3 PPP Interfaces

            The OC-3/STS-3 interface (stand-alone or APS) on the LTU 155 provides PPP interfaces in the RSOH and MSOH bytes of the SONET frame. Table 7 and Table 9 show the possible and default bandwidth of the interfaces.

            For increased bandwidth it is recommended to change the administrative status of the interfaces in accordance with the tables.

            6.11.2.2   Setting the Number of DIG SC (2x64 kbit/s) for SMU2 in Co-siting Mode

            The SMU2 ANSI in co-siting mode provides 2x64 kbit/s channels for DCN connection, typically to co-sited MINI-LINK E equipment. If a channel should be used, the administrative status of the interface must be set to Up.

            6.11.3   Creating Static Routes

            Static routing means that a fixed routing scheme is used where the address of the router that a message will be sent to, has to be entered manually. A maximum of 100 static routes is possible.

            To create a static route:

            1. In the Navigation Tree, click the NE.
            2. On the Configuration menu, click DCN and then click Static Routing.
            3. On the Static Routing Configuration page, type Destination, Route Mask and Gateway.
            4. Click Create. The static route is displayed under Current Static Routes.

            See also Section 6.14.4 on how to use the CLI to create static routes.

            4. The Static Routing Configuration page is displayed reflecting your changes.

            6.11.5   Creating OSPF Areas

            The Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol makes use of automatically updated routing tables in order to determine the most efficient transmission of data. OSPF networks are divided in sections, so called OSPF areas. The EEM can be used to create OSPF areas as described below. If there is only one ABR within an area, it is recommended to define the area as a stub area in order to improve the performance of the routing.

            To create an OSPF area:

            1. In the Navigation Tree, click the NE.
            2. On the Configuration menu, click DCN and then click OSPF Areas.
            3. On the OSPF Areas Configuration page, type Net Address, Subnet Mask, Area ID and select Area Type.
            4. Click Create. The OSPF area is displayed under Current OSPF Areas.

            6.11.6   Modifying or Deleting OSPF Areas

            To modify or delete an existing OSPF area:

            1. In the Navigation Tree, click the NE.

            3. On the OSPF Areas Configuration page, under Current OSPF Areas, do one of the following:
            4. The OSPF Areas Configuration page is displayed reflecting your changes.

            6.11.7   Configuring DCN Over Traffic

            Two unframed or framed (channelized) DS1s can be used for transport of DCN data. It can be a fixed DS1 connected to an NPU1 BA, NPU2 A or LTU, an DS1 transported in an OC-3/STS-3 frame or an DS1 transported over a radio link.

            The DCN data can be transported over a dedicated DS1 or use spare timeslots in an DS1 used for traffic. Depending on framing, a complete 2 Mbit/s or up to 31 timeslots can be used for DCN for the selected DS1s.

            6.11.7.1   Using a Dedicated DS1 for DCN

            To use a dedicated DS1 for DCN:

            6.14   Introduction to CLI

            This section gives an introduction to the Command Line Interface (CLI), a text based configuration tool similar to industry standards used for router configuration. It is intended for specific configuration and troubleshooting of IP routing parameters and accessed from a Command Prompt window using telnet.

            The following is covered:

            6.14.1   Overview

            This section describes how to use the CLI and the modes of operation.

            Figure 28   CLI in a Command Prompt window

            6.14.1.1   Confirmation of Configuration

            Configuration of parameters that could lead to loss of a DCN channel, for example change of IP address, need to be confirmed. The confirmation is made automatically if an EEM user is logged on as control_user and an NE generated ping command to the EEM PC is successful. Otherwise, confirmation of these parameters must be done manually.

            Confirmation from the CLI is done using the write command, see Table 12. It is also possible to use the Confirm button. The Status Bar indicates the remaining time and warnings will be issued when time is running out. It is also possible to use the show confirm timer command to display the remaining time, see Table 12.

            Caution!  
            If you do not confirm your configurations within 15 minutes, the NE will make a warm restart, restoring the saved configurations, and your unconfirmed changes will be lost.

            6.14.1.2   Help Facility

            The CLI contains a text based help facility accessed by typing in the full or partial command string then typing "?". The CLI displays the command keywords or parameters plus a short description. Typing only "?" displays all commands that can be entered.

            For example, at the CLI command prompt, type "ping?" (the CLI does not display the question mark). The CLI displays the following keyword list with short descriptions for each keyword:

            <HOST> Hostname to ping

            <A.B:C:D> IP Address to ping

            The CLI can complete the spelling of command or parameter keywords, using the TAB key. The following example shows how this function can be used.

            1. Type the beginning of a command. The CLI displays the complete command (if not ambiguous).

              TN-10-0-1-1>sh. Press the TAB key.

              TN-10-0-1-1>show

            2. The CLI shows if the command or parameter partial spelling is ambiguous and displays the choices that match the abbreviation.

              TN-10-0-1-1>show i. Press the TAB key.

              interface

              ip

            3. Type a character that excludes one of the choices.

              TN-10-0-1-1>show in. Press the TAB key.

              TN-10-0-1-1>show interface

            4. Type "?" to display the parameters for the specific command.

              [IFNAME] Interface name

              TN-10-0-1-1>show interface

            6.14.1.3   Command Modes

            The CLI commands are sorted into classes: Exec commands and Configuration commands. Configuration commands are further categorized into the following modes: Global Configuration, Interface Configuration and Router Configuration. Figure 29 illustrates the command modes.

            6.14.3   OSPF Configuration and Troubleshooting

            This section introduces how to use the CLI for OSPF configuration and troubleshooting.

            6.14.3.1   Defining an OSPF Area as a Stub Area

            If there is only one Area Border Router (ABR) within an area, it is recommended to define the area as a stub area, in all routers within the area, in order to reduce the size of the routing table. Using stub areas improves the performance of the OSPF routing by reducing the size of the link state database and the memory requirements of routers inside the areas.

            Creating a stub area can also be done from the EEM, see Section 6.11.5.

            The following example shows how to define an area (area ID=1.1.1.1) as a stub area.

            1. Log in in Exec mode.

              C:\>telnet 10.0.1.1

              Password:*****

            2. Enter Privileged Exec mode.

              TN-10-0-1-1>enable

              Password:******

            3. Enter Global Configuration mode.

              TN-10-0-1-1#configure

            4. Enter Router Configuration mode for OSPF.

              TN-10-0-1-1(config)#router ospf

            5. Define the area as a stub area.

              TN-10-0-1-1-ospf(config-router)#area 1.1.1.1 stub

              Note:  
              For an ABR it is possible to add the no-summary parameter in order to stop the ABR from sending summary link advertisements into the stub area. This will reduce the routing table even more.

            6. Exit Router Configuration mode.

              TN-10-0-1-1-ospf(config-router)#exit

            7. Exit Global Configuration mode.

              TN-10-0-1-1(config)#exit

            8. Save the configuration.

              TN-10-0-1-1#write

            Interface Configuration

            Sets the interface cost.

            dead-interval

            Example:

            ip ospf dead-interval 60

            Interface Configuration

            Sets the dead-interval (default 40).

            hello-interval

            Example:

            ip ospf hello-interval 20

            Interface Configuration

            Displays the OSPF routing table.

            show ip route

            Displays the complete routing table including OSPF (O) entries.

            6.14.4   Configuring Static Routing

            Using static routing means that a fixed routing scheme is entered manually from the CLI. Static routing can also be done from the EEM, see Section 6.11.3. A maximum of 100 static routes is possible.

            The following command is used from the CLI:

            ip route <destination> <gateway>

            The example below sets up a static route from an NE (IP address= 10.0.1.1) to IP address 10.0.3.0, subnet mask 24, through the gateway 10.0.2.1.

            1. Log in in Exec mode.

              C:\>telnet 10.0.1.1

              Password:******

            2. Enter Privileged Exec mode.

              TN-10-0-1-1>enable

              Password:******

            3. Enter Global Configuration mode.

              TN-10-0-1-1#configure

            4. Set up the static route.

              TN-10-0-1-1(config)#ip route 10.0.3.0/24 10.0.2.1

            5. Exit Global Configuration mode.

              TN-10-0-1-1(config)#exit

            6. Save the configuration.

              TN-10-0-1-1#write

            Although a default route is not required in OSPF networks it is recommended to configure a default gateway since it reduces the risk of loosing DCN contact with the NE. The example below defines a default gateway with IP address 10.0.2.1.

            1. Log in in Exec mode.

              C:\>telnet 10.0.1.1

              Password:******

            2. Enter Privileged Exec mode.

              TN-10-0-1-1>enable

              Password:******

            3. Enter Global Configuration mode.

              TN-10-0-1-1#configure

            4. Define the default gateway.

              TN-10-0-1-1(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0/0 10.0.2.1

            5. Exit Global Configuration mode.

              TN-10-0-1-1(config)#exit

            6. Save the configuration.

              TN-10-0-1-1#write

            6.15   Generating Configuration Reports

            Reports on the NEs hardware and software inventory, and the configuration settings can be generated, viewed, and saved.

            To generate a report:

            1. In the Navigation Tree, click the NE (the root).
            2. On the Tools menu, click Report to open the Report page.
            3. Select the items to include on the report. You can click Clear All and Select All to toggle all check boxes on and off.
            4. Click View Report to see the report in the LCT, or click Save Report to save the report as an HTML file on your computer. See Section 11.77 for information on what the report contains.

            7   Fault Management

            This section contains information and instructions for typical fault, status and test handling tasks.

            The following areas are covered:

            7.1   Operational Status

            This section describes the principles of the operational status of equipment and interfaces when working with the EEM.

            7.1.1   Operational Status of Equipment

            The operational status is a high-level status indication of a plug-unit or the NE. It is displayed as Status on an Alarms and Status page, see for example Section 11.124. An equipment failure initiates an update of the operational status. A more detailed equipment status is indicated by alarms, for example high temperature, see Section 7.2.5.

            The signification of the operational status of a unit is listed in Table 18.


            Table 18    Operational status of equipment

            Operational status

            NE

            Unit

            In Service

            The NE is operating properly.

            The unit is operating properly.

            Reduced Service

            The traffic functionality in the backplane is available but the management functionality or a redundant function is reduced or unavailable. A further reduction will have impact on traffic.

            The traffic functionality is available but the management functionality is reduced or unavailable.

            Out of Service

            The NE is not operating.

            The unit is not operating, that is a traffic disturbing failure has occurred. A plug-in unit is in a cold reset state where all traffic, control and management logics are reset.

            The relation between the operational status and alarm severity is listed in Table 19.

            To view the DCN status:

            1. In the Navigation Tree, click the NE.
            2. On the Fault menu, click DCN.
            3. The DCN parameters are grouped in different categories. Click a link to display a specific category.

            7.4   Loops

            Loops can be used to verify that the transmission system is working properly or they can be used to locate the faulty unit or interface in case of failure.

            7.4.1   General

            The following loops are supported:

            Connection Loop   Loops an DS1 interface connected to the backplane back to its origin. The loop is done in the backplane. If the interface is traffic routed an AIS is transmitted to the other interface in the traffic routing.
            Line Loop   Loops an incoming line signal (Line/Section, MUX23, MUX12 and DS1) back to its origin. The loop is done in the plug-in unit, close to the line interface. An AIS is sent to the backplane.
            Local Loop   Loops a line signal (Line/Section, MUX23, MUX12 and DS1) received from the backplane back to its origin. The loop is done in the plug-in unit. An AIS is transmitted to the line interface.

            Figure 30   Loops

            The following loops are supported for the Radio Terminal:

            Note:  
            Loops for Radio Terminals with MMU2 are mainly set using MSM.

            IF Loop   In the MMU the traffic signal to be transmitted is, after being modulated, mixed with the frequency of a local oscillator and looped back for demodulation (on the receiving side).
            RF Loop   In the RAU a fraction of the RF signal transmitted is shifted in frequency and looped back to the receiving side.
            Rx Loop   This loop is similar to the Connection Loop but the loop is done in the plug-in unit close to the TDM bus, where a group ofDS1s in the traffic connection is looped back to its origin. The Rx Loop can be used to verify the communication over the radio path.
            Note:  
            If the far-end terminal is based on MMU2 BA/CA, the Rx Loop on that side can be set from the near-end EEM, see Section 7.4.3.

            Figure 31   MMU2 BA/CA Loop

            Figure 32   Radio Terminal loops

            Section 7.4.2 and Section 11.148 give more information on how to set loops.

            7.4.2   Setting a Loop on an Interface

            This procedure describes how to set a loop on an interface in order to locate a fault.

            Caution!  
            If the interface is used, the loop will disturb the traffic.
            Note:  
            An active loop will disable notifications from the interface.

            To set a loop:

            1. In the Navigation Tree, click the unit that contains the interface on which you want to set a loop.
              Note:  
              A loop can also be set when the interface is selected in the Navigation Tree.

            2. On the Tools menu, click Loops.
            3. On the Loops page, in the <IF type> Interface list, select the interface on which you want to set a loop.
            4. In the Loop options list, select loop type. See Table 24 for a description of the loop types available for a specific interface.
            5. Click Add. The loop is added to the Active loops list. The loop is removed by clicking Remove or Remove All.
            Note:  
            It is also possible to handle loops from the Activities page, see Section 11.146.

            7.4.3   Setting a Loop on the Far-End Radio Terminal

            This procedure describes how to set a loop on the RAU IF on a far-end radio terminal in order to locate a fault.

            Caution!  
            If the interface is used, the loop will disturb the traffic.
            Note:  
            An active loop will disable notifications from the interface.

            To set an Rx Loop on a far-end radio terminal:

            1. In the Navigation Tree, click an MMU2 BA/CA or RAU IF for the near-end terminal.
            2. On the Tools menu, click Loops.
            3. On the Loops page, click Show Far End to see the loop options for the far-end terminal. If the far-end terminal is protected (1+1) there are two links, one for each RAU IF.
            4. Under Far End, in the Loop options list, click Add to activate the Rx Loop. The loop is added to the Active loops list. The loop is removed by clicking Remove or Remove All.

            7.5   Error Log Handling

            The NE holds an Error Log containing information about internal hardware and software errors as well as restarts and equipment alarms. The Error Log comprises two files, <hostname>_active.elog and <hostname>_passive.elog.

            Note:  
            Evaluation of the Error Log requires deep knowledge about the system. Contact your Ericsson support for more information.

            The following tasks are covered:

            7.5.1   Uploading the Error Log to the FTP Server

            9   Security Management

            This section covers the following:

            9.1   User Names

            Two user names are supported.

            Figure 34   Logging in to the EEM

            view_user

            This user can only see the configuration. The default password is ericsson.

            To prevent unauthorized access to the system it is recommended to change the password. This should be done during the initial setup, see Section 5.3. However, the default password can always be used for local access of NPU2 A/NPU1 BA.

            control_user

            This user can view and change the configuration. The default password is ericsson.

            To prevent unauthorized access to the system it is recommended to change the password. This should be done during the initial setup, see Section 5.3. However, the default password can always be used for local access of NPU2 A/NPU1 BA and NPU1 ANSI in Node/NPU Installation mode.

            The control_user can change the passwords, see Section 9.2.

            9.2   Changing Passwords

            This procedure describes how to change the control_user and view_user passwords when the NE is in Normal mode.

            Note:  
            Only the control_user is authorized to change the passwords.

            To change the passwords:

            1. In the Navigation Tree, click the NE.
            2. On the Security menu, click Security

            Note:  
            You have to log in again if you have changed the control_user password.

            9.3   Replacing Lost Passwords

            Note:  
            This section applies only to NPU1 ANSI. For an NPU2 A/NPU1 BA, the control_user can always access the NE locally using the default password and change the passwords from the Security page, see Section 11.162.

            This procedure describes how to set new passwords in case the existing passwords have been lost.

            Caution!  
            Use this function restrictively and only when you have lost the passwords to an already installed NE.
            Note:  
            The NE is accessed in Node Installation mode. Configure the PC to use a dynamic IP address obtained from the DHCP server in the NE or alternatively use the static IP address 10.0.0.2. For more information on IP addressing, see Section 3.3.3.

            To set new passwords:

            1. Switch off and switch on the power supply.

            Figure 35   Entering Node Installation mode

            1. While the Fault (red), Power (green) and BR (yellow) LEDs on the NPU1 ANSI are ON (NE power up), press the BR button gently and release it. The BR (yellow) LED will start flashing, indicating that the NE is in Node Installation mode.
            2. Connect the Ethernet cable (twisted pair) to the 10/100BASE-T port.
            3. Start a Web browser and enter the URL http://10.0.0.1/.
            4. In the Enter Network Password dialog box, type the user name and password, and click OK. For more information see Section 9.1.
            5. On the Tools menu, click Change Password.
            6. On the Change Password page, click Configure Basic Security.
            7. On the Security page, there are two passwords to set:

            12. Make sure the PC is properly configured regarding the use of DHCP server. The configuration defines if dynamic or static IP addressing is used. For information on how to configure the use of DHCP server, see Section 3.3.3.
            13. Find out the IP address of the NE, typically from the site documentation or the information plate of the NE. Start a Web browser and enter the URL http://<IP address>.
            Note:  
            Installation mode can always be left by pressing the BR button on the front of the NPU1 ANSI.

            10   Hardware Maintenance

            This section describes hardware maintenance procedures.

            Note:  
            Follow the recommendations in MINI-LINK TN ANSI Indoor Installation Manual on troubleshooting and how to handle cables and plug-in units.

            The following tasks are covered:

            10.1   Adding and Removing Plug-in Units

            10.1.1   Position States

            Each position in the AMM has a state, indicating whether a plug-in unit is inserted in that position, and if there are any problems associated with that plug-in unit in that position.

            If there is a problem, this is shown on the NE Alarms and Status page as an icon on that position. The position state icon looks like this: . If you place the pointer on the icon, a ToolTip of the problem is shown.

            A position may be in one of the following states:

            Valid Unit   There are no problems with a plug-in unit of this type in this position.

            Since there are no problems, no icon is shown.

            Free   There is no plug-in unit in this position and the position is not reserved.

            Since there are no problems, no icon is shown.

            Inaccessible Unit   The plug-in unit has been removed from this position and the position is reserved for plug-in units of the same type.

            Whenever you remove a plug-in unit from the AMM, the position where it was inserted remains reserved for plug-in units of the same type. The configuration of the removed unit is saved in the NE, so that when you insert a compatible replacement unit, it will automatically get the configuration of the old unit.

            If you are not going to insert a replacement plug-in unit in this position, you can clear the reservation, see Section 10.1.4. This will make the position Free.

            Clicking the icon, opens the Clear Reservation page, see Section 11.99.

            Wrong Unit   The plug-in unit in this position cannot use the configuration that is saved for this position.

            1. You need a backup configuration file on the FTP server on your PC.

              The configuration file must have the following path: <drive:>\tn_ftp_home\tn_backup_configuration\<hostname.cfg>. The file is typically fetched from the same directory on a remote FTP server.

              Note:  
              If you do not have a configuration file you can, if possible, try to upload the existing configuration file from the NE, see Section 11.89.

              The final alternative is to make a complete setup of the NE, see Section 5.


            2. Disconnect all cables from the NPU1 B and undo the two screws on the latches.
            3. Press the BR button gently and release it. This is a request to take the plug-in unit Out of Service and all traffic related alarms will be disabled.
              Note:  
              The BR button should be pressed before the plug-in unit is removed, even if the Power (green) LED is OFF.

            Figure 44   Pressing the BR button

            1. Wait until the BR (yellow) LED is ON and then remove the plug-in unit within 60 minutes. If the LED is not ON within 60 seconds, press and release the BR button again. Wait another 60 seconds and if the LED is still not ON, remove the unit anyway.
              Note:  
              If you do not remove the plug-in unit within 60 minutes, it is automatically taken into service. You can also take the plug-in unit into service before the end of the 60 minutes by pressing the BR button again.

            2. Insert the new NPU1 BA. Press and release the BR button while the Fault (red), Power (green) and BR (yellow) LEDs are ON (NPU power up). The BR (yellow) LED will start flashing, indicating that the NE is in NPU Installation mode.
            3. Tighten the two screws on the latches.
            4. Connect all cables, including the USB cable.
            5. Start a Web browser and enter the URL http://10.0.0.1/.
