Main Menu
The Main Menu is the starting point of this SWP, with the screen depicted in Fig. 10. on page 47.
The functions available are:
[2]
Provisioning Tool : it starts a wizard tool, which allows to configure completely and easily one
9400AWY V2.0.6 or V2.1.2 or V2.1.3 NE, in not NEinteractive (offline), or in NEinteractive
(online) modality. This tool allows also to modify a configuration created previously, and to get
the configuration from a running NE.
Alarms & Settings : it starts a NEinteractive function, allowing the user to login a NE through
the use of the NE web server via a generic Internet browser, to monitor the status of NE alarms
and to get and/or set some NEs parameters
Start of 1320CT : it is meant for old 9400AWY NEs backward compatibility only
Acceptance Tool : it is meant to be used in the commissioning phase; it replaces the functions
previously covered by the document TRS (Test Report Sheets) available as Pdf, Word or Excel
file; the main advantage is that the Acceptance Tool can take many parameters directly from
the NE
NEtO
NEtO (Network Element Overview) is the starting point to make a full supervision and control of the
most recent AlcatelLucent radio transmission 9400AWY NEs: 9400AWY Rel.2.0 from version
V2.0.6, and 9400AWY Rel.2.1 from version V2.1.2.
N.B.
NEtO is used also for the AlcatelLucent radio transmission 9500MPR NEs (all versions),
but you must be aware that the SWP TCO SUITE Rel.1.7 does not manage any version
of 9500MPR NEs.
It allows to perform the following operations on one NE:

This paragraph describes the network address rules that must be observed to allow a PC (running the
SWP TCO SUITE) the access to one or more 9400AWY NEs.
13.2.1 NEs management interfaces
For its management by SWP TCO SUITE tools, the 9400AWY NE has:
one Ethernet management interface, which is used to access the NE, and that is identified by its local
IP address and Ethernet Configuration IP address, defined in para.13.2.2 below
one pointtopoint TMNRF interface toward the other NE of the radio link
and one selectable pointtopoint TMNV11 or TMNG703 interface toward another colocated NE
all pointtopoint interfaces (TMNRF, and TMNV11 or TMNG703) are unnumbered and borrow
the IP address from the local IP address
local IP address, used to identify uniquely the NE inside the Transmission Management Network
(TMN)
and the Ethernet Configuration IP address, used to identify uniquely the NEs Ethernet
management interface inside the TCP/IP network
are both set at default value 10.0.1.2, as shown in screen below (one of the steps of the Full
Configuration Procedure described in chapter 15 from page 59 )
These values can be maintained only until the NE remains disconnected from the TCP/IP network and
from the TMN, and must be changed to have them different from those of the other NEs present in the
accessible network. Their setting is foreseen in the commissioning phase; for details, refer to the specific
NE User Manual ( Tab. 1. on page 14 )
In the commissioning phase, you can define the local IP address and Ethernet Configuration IP
address:
28 / 232
WARNING:
if such NE addresses are different, they must not belong to the same subnetwork, as in
following correct example:
local IP address
=
151.98.96.221
151.98.97.232
and Ethernet Configuration IP address =
with IP Mask = 255.255.255.0
N.B.
the local IP address is that to be always used to access the NE by NEtO application
Foreword
The CT must be able to reach the NE, through one of the local or remote connections described on
previous pages 25 to 27
The access rules are different according to the type of application used; if you access a NE from your
PC:
1)
through the Finterface, and by the NEtO application, the NEs local IP address must be
always used, and there are no network constraints
2)
through the Ethernet interface, and by the NEtO application, for which the NEs local IP
address must be always used, it is necessary to build a networking relationship, according to
the PCNE connection scenario, between:
[2]
through the Ethernet interface, and by the NEinteractive Provisioning Tool and Alarms &
Settings applications (web server operations), any problems between the IP addresses of the
PC and the NE are solved automatically, choosing Local or Remote in the application start
screen, as described in para.14.5 from page 49
Usually, these operations have to be performed once only (i.e., whenever you have not
done them previously for the specific NE). This check is not necessary in case of PCNE
connection through the Finterface.
To make this check, open the Windows Command Prompt application and execute the command:
ping <space> NE_address
Verify the connection, then close the command window.
Note: in case the local IP address and Ethernet Configuration IP address are different from each
other, perform this check for both.

local IP address as source IP address
it is possible to configure the Ethernet Configuration IP address with the same value used for
local IP address

the 9400AWY NE can act as ABR (Area Border Router) managing a maximum of 4 areas
(Backbone + 3 areas). It is possible to assign different OSPF areas to each pointtopoint
interface, and to the Ethernet Configuration IP address interface
an OSPF area can be configured as Stub Area. Configuring a Stub Area reduces the topological
database size and reduces the memory requirements for NE inside that area for NEs that are
not ABR
the OSPF Area Identifier can take a form similar to an IP address A.B.C.D
the Area ID has not any correlation with the IP address of the interface that belongs to that area
enabling OSPF, static routing information configured on one NE are automatically redistributed
as OSPF external routes inside the OSPF areas active on this NE
static routings are not redistributed inside the OSPF areas configured as Stub Area
if OSPF is enabled on NEs, static routes, if needed, have to be added only on the NE reached
by Ethernet (called Gateway NE)
in case of CT not directly connected to the Gateway NE, the Ethernet interface of this NE must
be reachable in order to make the software download working

This paragraph introduces the information regarding the equipment software management.
14.2.1 Flash Card
A Flash Card is always plugged into the IDU Main board; it contains the whole Equipment programs and
configuration data.
14.2.1.1 Flash Card types
Various types of Flash Cards are available; each of them allows a fixed max system throughput [i.e. the
max number of user interfaces, in terms of equivalent Mb/s traffic, and the supported modulation (4QAM
and/or 16QAM) ].
Each type of Flash Card is identified by a Logistical Item P/N and by a licence information.
Please refer to the specific NE User Manual ( Tab. 1. on page 14 ) for details on the available types of
Flash Card and their identification.
WARNING:
the Flash Cards of 9400AWY R.2.0 and of 9400AWY R.2.1 are not interchangeable.

[3]
NE data backup
The NE data backup must be always performed:
every time you change any NE data (see point [2] on page 42 )
every time you upgrade the NE SWP (see point [7] on page 45 )
WARNING:
If you change the NE data without performing the backup operations here
described, in case of troubles you will have to create again the NE configuration data
from the beginning, wasting time and with high probability of errors.
Every time you change any NE data, you must always save them by both the following two
procedures (they are both necessary, because some data are present only in one of the two backup
files):
a)
b)
using the function Get Configuration File of the Alarms & Settings tool (see
para.16.2.4 on page 75 ). In this case the save screen appears:
or clicking the button Get Configuration from NE in the Start wizard screen of the
NEinteractive Provisioning Tool (see Fig. 20. on page 61 ). In this case the following

The SWP TCO SUITE includes not NEinteractive applications, and NEinteractive applications.
For all NEinteractive applications, the checks that any operator must perform before attempting the
access from her/his PC (running the SWP TCO SUITE) to a 9400AWY NE, are summed up below:
N.B.
a)
Usually, these checks have to be performed once only (i.e., whenever you have not done them
previously for the specific NE).
the operator must know the NEs local IP address and/or the Ethernet Configuration IP address,
that must have already been defined correctly inside the network from both physical and logical
points of view. Note:
the local IP address is that to be always used to access the NE by NEtO application
the Ethernet Configuration IP address is that to be always used to access the NE by the
NEinteractive Provisioning Tool and Alarms & Settings (web server) functions.
the PC must be able to reach the NE. To make this check, if necessary, refer to point [2] on page
29
c)
if more than one network adapter is present in the PC, you must know which is that used for the
PCNE connection (its identity could be required in the login procedure).
d)
if not yet done, it is mandatory to manually disable system and browser proxy configurations prior
to use the web server operations; otherwise, the IP connection from the PCs web server to the NE
cannot take place.
e)
the operator must have an UserName and Password set, valid for the NE that must be loggedin.
This information must be provided by the NE Administrator to the user.
Note: the operations allowed, after the successful login, depend on the NE login profile.
For details, refer to para.13.3.2 on page 34
f)
only for AWY 2.1.3 NE, and only for access by NEtO: if the NE Administrator has defined a
community string (different from the default value) for the specific NE, the operator must know it.
This information must be provided by the NE Administrator to the user.
For details, refer to para.13.3.3 on page 35
g)
only for AWY 2.1.3 NE: if the NE Administrator has defined the security by access lists for the
specific NE, the operator must know whether or not the IP address of her/his PC is enabled to the
specific services she/he wants to perform.
This information must be provided by the NE Administrator to the user.

For set & read authorized users ( see Tab. 7. on page 67 ), this function allows to modify NE internal
time so that it can be automatically aligned with users PC internal time or the user can set its preferred
time and date on NE. Also, it is possible, for the user, to verify the status of NTP configuration for automatic
synchronization using a couple of NTP server (main and backup).
The read only authorized users ( see Tab. 7. on page 67 ) cannot make any setting operation.
There are two functions available to authorized users:
1.
2.
In the first situation (Fig. 22. below) the user will see his/hers PC internal time and by clicking on apply,
NE will receive UTC time based on PC configuration.
For example: if users PC is configured as located in central Europe (CET or CEST time zones) and it
shows 20060825 11:40:00, by clicking Apply button NE web server will receive 20060825 09:40 due
to Daylight Saving (summer) Time one hour difference with respect to normal time and to one hour time
difference between CET time zone and GMT time zone.

The other function allows user to directly send a specific date and time information to NE without bothering
on time zones but simply specifying all the information needed.
In both cases there could be some short delays (few seconds) between applied time shown after the
operation and current time or selected time.
In case of enabled NTP, this page wont allow to modify NE time and date

NEtO session
NEtO works as a singlesession instance dedicated to one NE only.
It means that if you have one NEtO instance open for one NE (and you want to leave it open), you
must launch another NEtO instance to access another NE.
WARNING:
Even if allowed by SW, opening more than one NEtO session (from the same PC)
on the same NE is a forbidden operation, and must be absolutely
avoided.
[2]
max 5 NEtO sessions used for NE supervision only (i.e. without logging in the NE for the
WebEML and AM functions)
the contemporaneous presence on one NE of various managers (LCT, RCT and an OS) is possible,
from different Craft Terminals (WebEML, or 1320CT) or OS. The access disable flag avoids access
conflict between the OS and both RCT and LCT on some operations, like configuration modification
and remote control with access filtering.
b)
at most ten OS/LCT/RCT access instances can be active at a time over one NE :
plus nine remote RCT/OS instances at most (on NEs Management Ethernet interface, and on
Radio interface and NMS interface
The coexistence of OS, LCT and RCT access instances in the whole network is guaranteed, since
the conflict in accessing the NE is solved locally by the NE itself.

The user must select the resource by clicking with the mouse to carry out an action that depends on the
type of click.
Each resource listed above may be selected by using the mouse by a single or double left click:
Single left click:
By a single left click the resource is highlighted. This selection causes the activation of the

The NE can be managed by the OS or by the Craft Terminal. To control the competition of the OS and the
CT, a Local Access Control (LAC) is available:
if the LAC is access denied, it means that the OS manages the NE, and the CT is not allowed to
modify the NE configuration (it can only read). In the view, the icon with a key symbol has a circular
shape.
if the LAC is granted, it means that the CT is allowed to manage the NE. In the view, the icon with
a key symbol has a rectangular shape.
if the LAC is requested, it means that the CT has requested a permission from the OS and is waiting
for a reply.
However, the OS does continue to provide a certain number of services. These services include:
Performance processing,
switching from the Craft Terminal access state back to the OS access state
19.7.1 Switching from the OS to the Craft Terminal access state
By WebEML, perform Supervision Access State Requested ( see para. 19.8.8 on page 132 ).
From the confirmation dialogue box that opens, you can confirm or cancel the Craft access operation using
the Yes or No pushbutton. The request is sent up to the OS which accepts or refuses it.
If the OS doesnt answer in a predefined time, it is assumed that the NE is in the Craft access state and
can be managed by a Craft Terminal.
19.7.2 Switching from the Craft Terminal access state back to the OS access state
By WebEML, perform Supervision Access State OS ( see para. 19.8.8 on page 132 ).
From the confirmation dialogue box that opens, you can confirm or cancel the OS access operation.
The NE is now managed by the OS.
N.B.
The key symbol icon on the management states of the NE view ( para.19.6 on page 119 )
indicates whether the NE is managed by a craft terminal or by the OS.
N.B.
Local Craft Terminal access is denied on recovery phase after a loss of communication of the
NE. When the communication with the NE is lost, the OS automatically recovers the
communication and forces the state existing before the loss of communication (therefore, Craft
Terminal access can be denied or granted).

After its launch, the AM screen opens: see Fig. 52. on page 138 , and also the Shortcut icons in
para.110.2.11 on page 149 , that, for simplicity, are not shown in following figures).
a)
At the top right, the field Synthesis shows the number of active alarms for any severity, with the same
meaning of Fig. 42. on page 105
b)
On the left side of the application, below each NE, two global lists of alarms are displayed:
ALARM_LOG shows all the equipment alarms currently present and the history of the alarms
(i.e. cleared alarms).
N.B.
when an alarm is no longer active, it disappears from the CURRENT_ALARM list, and is
displayed in the ALARM_LOG list as a cleared alarm.
Each global list has some default filters (some filters for the CURRENT_ALARM list, and other filters
for the ALARM_LOG list), as follows:
CLR contains all the alarms which are in the CLEARED state, that is, which are no longer active
(this filter is available within the list ALARM_LOG only).
For each list and for each filter, the number of active alarms is shown inside brackets.
These two lists can be filtered using customized filters provided by means of the menu Filters %
Add a Filter .. (see para.110.2.5 from page 142 ).
Single clicking on a filter or on a global list on the left part of the screen shows up on the right side

and the activation of the Stand by on the NE (para.112.5.4 from page 170 )
N.B.
Obviously, at the end of this procedure, you will have both SW banks with the same SWP, and
the previous SWP has been lost.
with the first step (normal download procedure) only the new version of the SW components
known by previous SWP version are downloaded on flash card
the new SW components are known ONLY by SWP > V2.0.4, or SWP > V2.1.0, so after the
activation of the SWP V2.0.6, or V2.1.2, it is necessary to download it again (IN FORCED
MODE), to transfer the new SW component image onto flash card.
These backup files are consistent with the data base structure of the new Committed SW bank,
while those created in step d ) on page 164 were consistent with the data base structure of
the old Committed SW bank (that has now become the Stand By bank).

the downgraded NE must be managed by the proper SW management tool (e.g. to manage a
9400AWY V2.1.1, you must use the 1320CTbased Craft Terminal installed from the SWP 9400AWY
V2.1.1 CDROM)
the data base, scratched by the downgrade operation (e.g. from V2.1.2 to V2.1.1), remains scratched
even if you perform the upgrade (e.g. from V2.1.1 to V2.1.2); therefore, also in this case, you must
redefine all NE data from the beginning.

To insert and remove the IP Addresses and IP Masks of the enabled Managers PCs in each
Access List table, refer to the online help, clicking the relevant button.
Additional information:
Each row of each Access List table enables one or more Managers, i.e., if the first row is
the following:
IP: 151.99.98.1 Mask: 255.255.255.255
it means that only one Manager is defined.
Otherwise, if it is:
IP: 151.99.98.1 Mask: 255.255.255.0
then 256 Managers are enabled.
That is, the number of rows does not necessarily indicate the number of Managers,
because, for each row, many Managers can be defined.
N.B.
[3]
When an Access List table is modified (with respect to the default status):
the IP address of the Administrators PC (from which the Access List table has been
modified) is automatically inserted in the table with IP Mask 255.255.255.255;
the default row with both IP Address and IP Mask = 0.0.0.0 is automatically removed.
When all IP Addresses and IP Masks of the previously enabled Managers PCs are
removed from an Access List table, this is automatically reset at the default condition (only
one row, with both IP Address and IP Mask = 0.0.0.0)
the content of the Access List tables is not shown to operators logging in the NE with a
profile different from Administrator.

Restart NE behavior
The Access List tables are stored permanently in the NE database, and they are kept at NE

CDROM is read by PC.
If autorun does not start, to launch the Suite, user must run (doubleclick with mouse) the Start.exe
file, available on SWP TCO SUITE CDROM root.
The first operation performed by autorun procedure is the check for JRE.
The policy adopted with the application running inside the browser, where normally the customer runs also
other applications that could require different JREs, is as follows:
if the JRE plugged into the browser is newer than or equal to the required version, the tool startup
will continue, and the screen of Fig. 10. on page 47 opens;
if the JRE plugged into the browser is older than the required version, user is asked to install it
(automatically from the SWP TCO SUITE CDROM) as shown in Fig. 81. below. The user can
accept and the tool startup will continue, otherwise the installation exits and the tool startup is
aborted.

After the installation of LLMAN (performed in previous para.23.4 on page 203 ), it is necessary to install
and configure a Virtual Network Card.
In fact, AlcatelLucent Lower Layers Manager, in order to manage IP packets over its point to point links
(either Serial port or Modem), uses a virtual (i.e. software) network adapter.
This virtual network adapter, depending on the operating system as described in next para.23.5.2 on
page 208 , can be:
the Microsoft Loopback adapter; in this case, also the Logical Link Control Protocol for
AlcatelLucent Lower Layers must be installed
