Tellabs 6300 Network Manager 1 Getting Started with the Craft Terminal
Using the Craft Terminal
Overview This introduces you to the Tellabs 6300 Craft Terminal and Tellabs 6300 Ex-
tended Craft Terminal. It gives some background information about the Tel-
labs NM2100 Craft Terminal, Tellabs 6300 Craft Terminal, and Tellabs 6300
Extended Craft Terminal. It also describes how to physically connect a Tellabs
6300 Craft Terminal to an NE. The following is discussed:
1.1 What is a Craft Terminal? on page 15
1.2 User Access with the Craft Terminal on page 19
1.3 Configuring a PPP Connection on page 21
1.4 Viewing which Version of Craft Terminal Software your Computer is
Running on page 63
The difference between Tellabs 6300 Craft Terminal is composed of both the Tellabs NM2100 Craft
craft terminal and Terminal software and the Tellabs 6300 Craft Terminal software, which run on
network manager a PC or laptop computer. The craft terminal connects directly to a network el-
ement (NE) in a network, and it is typically used to configure the NE that it is
connected to. You can also use the craft terminal to communicate remotely
with other NEs in a network by specifying the NSAP address of the NE in
question.
MA336 Rev. O1 15
Tellabs 6300 Network Manager 1 Getting Started with the Craft Terminal
Using the Craft Terminal
The figure illustrates the difference between a craft terminal and a network
manager, as they relate to the individual network elements in the network.
The craft terminal connects directly to one of the NEs and regards that NE as
the local NE while all of the other NEs in the network are remote NEs. To
the network manager, all NEs in the network are equal (that is, they are all re-
mote).
Note: When you connect to an NE with a craft terminal, tell the Network
Management users that a craft terminal is connected and active, be-
cause the craft terminal overrides configurations that come from the
Network Management.
Tellabs 6300 Extended The Tellabs 6300 Extended Craft Terminal lets you manage multiple NEs at
Craft Terminal the same time. It helps manage small networks, with a maximum of 50 NEs.
While the Tellabs 6300 Craft Terminal connects directly to NEs with a man-
agement cable, the Tellabs 6300 Extended Craft Terminal connects to NEs
through the DCN, using the Ethernet interface. Refer to [15] and [16] for infor-
mation about DCN.
Refer to 7 Managing Multiple NEs with the Tellabs 6300 Extended Craft Ter-
minal on page 181 for information on how to work with the Tellabs 6300 Ex-
tended Craft Terminal.

Note: The NE type in parentheses designates the NE name that you can select
when you use the Tellabs 6300 Extended Craft Terminal.

Overview It is possible for the system administrator of the Tellabs 6300 management sys-
tem to restrict the amount of access the individual user has to the NE when
using the craft terminal. The system administrator gives each user an access
level setting, which requires password access. These issues are described in
the topics listed below:
1.2.1 Providing Security in the Craft Terminal on page 19
1.2.2 Changing the User Password on page 20
Built-in Security Each craft terminal installation comes with a built-in security function. This
security function can be either active or inactive. The decision about whether
MA336 Rev. O1 19
Tellabs 6300 Network Manager 1 Getting Started with the Craft Terminal
Using the Craft Terminal
this security function is active or inactive must be made when the craft termi-
nal software is installed.
Note: If the craft terminal security function is not active but is required at a
later time, then it is necessary to install the craft terminal software
again.
The craft terminal security enables the system administrator to give the users
one of 3 different access levels. These access levels determine what the user
can actually access within the craft terminal application.
When the craft terminal security is active, each user must log in using a user
name and password.
Craft terminal user When the craft terminal security is active, each user is given an access control
access (AC) level. This access control level determines which parts of the craft termi-
nal application the user can access. The access control levels are:
To change your When the craft terminal security function is enabled, you must type in your
password to log in to the user name and password each time you start the craft terminal. This user

Overview After you install the Tellabs 6300 Craft Terminal you must create a PPP con-
nection to communicate with some NEs. These procedures describe how to set
up a PPP connection, according to which Windows operating system the Tel-
labs 6300 Craft Terminal is running on:

What is a remote NE? You can communicate with a remote network element through a locally at-
tached network element using the DCN. Such an NE is called a remote NE.
Transporting Tellabs 63xx NEs connect through the OSI DCN. Management traffic travels
management information between NEs via a channel called the Embedded Control Channel (ECC). The
ECC can be contained in the DCCR or DCCM bytes of the SDH section over-
head or a 2 Mbit/s tributary unit (TU-12), depending on how the NE is con-
figured. It is important that the ECCs of neighboring NEs are configured sim-
ilarly. The figure shows how a craft terminal communicates with NEs in an
STM-<n> ring via the ECC.
Tellabs 6315 nodes, ETEX mapping NEs and ETEX switching and mapping
NEs connect through the IP DCN. Management traffic (SNMP-based) travels
in the same network as the payload traffic. This means that management traf-
fic and user traffic share the same capacity. Refer to [15] and [16] for more in-
formation about DCN management traffic.

connection through the While the Tellabs 6300 Craft Terminal connects directly to NEs with a man-
DCN agement cable, the Tellabs 6300 Extended Craft Terminal connects to NEs
through the DCN, using the Ethernet interface. Refer to [15] and [16] for infor-
mation about DCN.
Overview The address of a Tellabs 63xx NE or Tellabs 7200 NE is called an NSAP ad-
dress and must be unique. This address makes it possible for the Tellabs 6300
Craft Terminal to communicate directly with, and therefore manage, the re-
mote NE in question. The following is described:
4.6.1 Description of the NSAP Address on page 112
4.6.2 Changing an NSAP Address on page 113.
Structure of the NSAP NEs are assigned the default NSAP address 490001<System/Node ID>01 dur-
address assigned during ing production. You can change this default value, as described in
production 4.6.2 Changing an NSAP Address on page 113.
Note: With tellabs equipment, the default Area Address 490001 and the Selec-
tor Field part 01 of the NSAP address are always the same, only the Sys-
tem/Node ID part is different:

Example:

Where to find the unique The central management module for the NE has a label attached to its side. On
MAC address of an NE this label you can read the unique MAC address (Ethernet address) given to
the module during its production. The MAC address is printed after the letters
"EA=" (which stands for Ethernet address).
Changing an NSAP The NSAP address of an NE can be changed by pre-configuring the network
address element using the Tellabs 6300 Craft Terminal. It is important that NSAP ad-
dresses fulfil certain requirements. An NSAP address consists of a number of
bytes, where each byte is written as a pair of hexadecimal digits (0 9, A, B, C,
D, E, F), some of which the user can choose.
To change the NSAP You can change the NSAP address of an NE as described in this procedure.
address of an NE For a description of the NSAP address and its format, see 4.6.1 Description of
the NSAP Address on page 112.
Warning: An NSAP address should not be changed unless network planners
have authorized the change. In this case, you should know exactly
which NSAP address to type during the following procedure. You
should be especially aware of the consequences of changing the area
address part of an NEs NSAP address. If the area address part of an
NEs NSAP address is changed, it could render the NE and many
other NEs unreachable from the management center. For example,

For NEs that support IP DCN, the window is similar to the one be-
low.
5 Select the lower User Defined check box if it is not already checked.
The lower Area and Node ID fields become active.
6 Type the NEs new NSAP address in the Area and Node ID fields.
Note: Please note the following:
490001 is the default area address given to Tellabs equipment.
Read the warning in the introduction to this procedure before
changing this value.
The area address is followed by the System/Node Identifier,
which is always 12 digits in length. All Tellabs equipment is given
a default System/Node Identifier, which is the same as the NEs
<MAC address>.
Up to 10 last-used NSAP addresses can be stored in the drop-down
lists in this window. However, these previously used addresses are
lost when the craft terminal is shut down.
Step Action
8 This step is valid only for NEs that support IP DCN management.
For example, Tellabs 6345 FP3.1 or higher and Tellabs 6350 FP3.1 or
higher, only.
If this NE uses CLNS tunnels, contains an ETEX module or you want
to use IP DCN instead of OSI DCN, you must do the following:
a) If you want to manage the NE via IP DCN, select Enable IP Ac-
cess to Node.
b) If IP traffic destined for a CLNS tunnel is arriving on the manage-
ment port, select Enable Management Ethernet Port for IP Traffic.
c) If you have selected one or both of the options in the steps above,
type in the IP address for the management port and the correct
subnet values for the network in the IP Address field and Subnet
Mask field, respectively.
d) If there is a router between your management port and the net-
work management system, in the Default Gateway field type in the
IP address of the gateway to access the management system.
9 This step is valid only for NEs that support IP DCN management.
Decide how you want the network manager and/or extended craft
terminal to communicate with the NE.
In the Registered Address Type in Manager group box, select one of
the following:
NSAP - this address is used by the management system to com-
municate with the NE.
IP - this address is used by the management system to communi-
cate with the NE.
10 Click OK.
Warning: The new NSAP address is sent to the NE. However, a Reset
NE operation must be performed before the new NSAP address re-
places the old one in the NE.
Note: Some NEs will reset the NE automatically. Some of the older
NEs require that the NE is reset manually. If a manual reset is re-
quired, go to Step 11.

4.7 IP Address
Overview In order that each Tellabs 6315 node, ETEX mapping module or ETEX switch-
ing and mapping module can be uniquely identified, Tellabs 6315 nodes,
ETEX mapping modules and ETEX switching and mapping modules are iden-
tified by their unique IP address. This address makes it possible for the Tellabs
6300 Craft Terminal to communicate directly with, and therefore manage, the
ETEX mapping module or ETEX switching and mapping module in question.
For more information about IP addresses, see [15]. The following is described:
4.7.1 Description of the IP Address on page 117

Cable trace identifiers When the inter-subrack cables between main and tributary subrack NEs are
(CTIs) connected to the equipment, cable trace identifiers (CTIs) can be configured
manually when using a Tellabs 6300 Craft Terminal.
CTIs are configured for each end of the cables used to connect the main sub-
rack and the tributary subracks (that is to say, a CTI number is defined for
each iSTM-4 interface). CTIs are used to identify the cable connections and to
protect against misconnections. The usage and the concept of CTIs are very
similar to TTIs (trail trace identifiers). Each iSTM-4 interface transmits a CTI.
This is received by the iSTM-4 interface at the other end of the cable. The re-
ceived CTI is compared to the CTI that the interface expects to receive. Any
mismatch between the expected and the received CTI will result in generation
of an alarm.
To configure and/or view This procedure describes how you use a Tellabs 6300 Craft Terminal to con-
the inter-subrack cabling figure and/or view the cabling between the subracks of the NEs in a cluster.

All following subracks in first rack and their contents
Next rack (and then its contents, as described above)
Using the arrows to You can also navigate between the NE, racks, subracks, slots, modules, con-
select nectors and protection arrows using the arrow keys (alone or in combination
with Alt) and Page Up and Page Down.
The arrow keys are used to move the selection at a specific level (rack level,
subrack level or module level). For example, when you are at the subrack lev-
el, pressing an arrow key moves you from one subrack to the next. If you use
the arrow keys in combination with Alt, the movement is limited to the parent
of the current object type (that is, you will not be able to go across rack bound-
aries when navigating at the subrack level, or go across rack and subrack
boundaries when navigating at the module level).
Page Up and Page Down are used to move between levels. For example, when
a module is selected, pressing Page Up will select the subrack that contains the
module.
Scrolling in the When scroll bars are present in the equipment view area (because of zoom-
equipment view area ing), the visible area will scroll automatically during selection with the tabu-
lator key or with the arrow keys, to ensure that the selected object is visible.

The Deploy window The Deploy window enables you to align the AFC profile settings, IP DSCP
mapping, Queue Scheduling details and Ether Type information (for release 3
only). When an ETEX NE has access to a network management server, the val-
ues present in the NE are aligned with those values saved on the server. If ac-
cess to a network management server is not present, for example when using
a Tellabs 6300 craft terminal, then the values in the NE are aligned with values
that are saved locally on the PC.
Note: The quality of service settings must be saved locally on the Tellabs 6300
craft terminal before the deploy function can be used (see [1]).
To deploy QoS settings This procedure describes how to deploy the QoS settings stored either in the
server or locally on the Tellabs 6300 craft terminal to the individual ETEX NE.
Note: For this procedure to be successful, when you are not connected to a
T6300NM server (Tellabs 6300 craft terminal), the files containing the
QoS settings must be saved in the following location:
C:\T6300ECT\CT\config\user\qualityofservice for an extended craft termi-
nal
C:\T6300CT\CT\config\user\qualityofservice for a Tellabs 6300 craft termi-
nal.

Overview Tellabs 6300 Extended Craft Terminal uses bandwidth profiles and AFC pro-
files in the management of Ethernet traffic and quality of service (QoS). The
bandwidth profiles define a set of bandwidth classes for the individual AFC
profile. The following topics describe how to configure bandwidth profiles,
AFC profiles and the other elements used for QoS:
Note: Using Tellabs 6300 Craft Terminal, it is only possible to use the Save
and Load functions. Although you are able to view all windows, you
cannot change any of the QoS settings.

class consists of an ID, a label, a bandwidth and a burst size. A bandwidth of
the specified size will be guaranteed, but the customer is allowed to send burst
traffic up to the specified burst size. However, traffic sent at a rate which is
higher than the guaranteed bandwidth but still below the burst size, is not
guaranteed. The bandwidth classes are grouped according to the following
types:

Queue scheduling Queue scheduling defines which class of service each queue in the system
supports. Each type of queue is given one or more type of bandwidth. Fixed
and/or Free. Fixed uses CIR settings and Free uses PIR settings (see Band-
width classes on page 309). The queue is also given a priority value: High,
Normal or Low. These settings determine how the traffic is handled by the
bandwidth available. There are, by default, four different classes.
Business Data with Burst Committed (fixed) with burst (free), normal
priority
A class for customers who want a guaranteed
bandwidth, but also need to be able to send
bursts of traffic.
Warning: We recommend that you do not change the settings for Queue
Scheduling
To change a queue This procedure describes how to change the settings of a specific queue.
Note: We recommend that you use the default settings.

5 Click OK or Apply.
AFC profiles A maximum number of 16 AFC profiles can be defined. An AFC profile con-
sists of an ID, a label and a priority mapping table. The priority mapping table
contains 8 different priorities each associated with a queue number and a drop
precedence level. When you create an LSP that spans several network ele-
ments, the same AFC profile must be selected in all network elements. This
means that the definition of AFC profiles is a network-wide operation and not
a network element specific issue.
The set of default AFC profiles consists of 6 AFC profiles, where 5 of the pro-
files map to only one queue each and therefore 4 have the same names as the
relevant queue (see Queue scheduling on page 312) and DCN (Data with
Burst) uses Business Data with Burst. The last default AFC profile (Multi Ser-
vice) uses all queue types.
To create a new AFC This procedure describes how to create a new AFC profile.

Step Action
Step Action
On this tab you can view the specifications of the defined AFC pro-
files. There are two tables. The table on the left displays all defined
AFC profiles, specified by an ID and a unique label. The table on the
right displays the priority mapping of the AFC profile currently se-
lected in the table on the left. Eight different priorities can be speci-
fied, where each priority is associated with a specific queue.
4 Specify a unique label for the new AFC profile in the Label: field.
Step Action
7 Click OK.
The Add AFC Profile window closes and the input focus is returned to
the Quality of Service window. The new AFC profile is added to the
list of AFC profiles in the Quality of Service window.

individual AFC profile.
To create a new This procedure describes how to create a new bandwidth profile.
bandwidth profile
Step Action
Step Action
On this tab you can view the specifications of the defined bandwidth
profiles and see how they relate to the AFC profiles. The default set-
ting shows the bandwidth profiles for all AFC profiles.
3 In the Select AFC Profile: drop-down list, select the AFC profile that
you want to add a new bandwidth profile to.
The Add Bandwidth Profile... button becomes active.
Step Action
The window contains a field for specifying the label of the new band-
width profile and a number of drop-down lists for selecting the
bandwidth classes.
Note: Only the drop-down lists relevant for the currently selected
AFC profile are active. However, when Multi Service is selected all
the drop-down lists are active.
Note: When the Business Data with Burst attribute is active, the list of
possible values includes all the Business Data with Burst bandwidth
classes and the complete list of CIR bandwidth classes. In this situa-
tion, PIR values = 0, which gives an unlimited peak information rate.
The values in this list are required when you upgrade the embedded
software your ETEX modules from 2.x to 3.x.
5 Specify a unique label for the bandwidth profile in the Label: field.
7 Click OK or Apply.
To load QoS settings in This procedure describes how to take quality of service parameter settings
the ECT that are saved as a set of files and load them in to the current extended craft
terminal. Normally, this set of files will be saved from the network manager
system, if you use one, or from another extended craft terminal.
Step Action
2 Locate and select the folder where you have the set of files you want
to load to the extended craft terminal.
The set of files must include the following text files:
AfcProfile
BandwidthClass
BandwidthProfile
Defaults
DpPrioProfile
IpDsProfile
QSchedulingProfile
3 Click Open.
The files are loaded into the Quality of Service window.
4 Click OK or Apply.
If you used the standard extended craft terminal installation, the files
are copied to the following location:
C:\T6300ECT\CT\config\user\qualityofservice
The extended craft terminal is now able to use these quality of ser-
vice parameter settings.
To save the QoS The current setting of QoS parameters can be saved to a set of text files (an
parameters AfcProfile file, a BandwidthClass file and so on). This procedure describes how
to create the set of files.
Step Action
2 Locate the folder where you want to save the parameter files and
click Save.
The following set of text files is created:
AfcProfile
BandwidthClass
BandwidthProfile
Defaults
DpPrioProfile
IpDsProfile
