1.1 Requirements
• The installation CDs for MINI-LINK MANAGER 6.1 and all third party
products:
• Software key; a device that is put on the parallel port of each server/client
• Power off the computer and all peripheral devices prior to installing the
software key; it is sensitive to static electricity.
• Secure the software key in the parallel port and tighten the screws.
• If you had any equipment connected to your parallel port, connect to the
back of the software key.
Warning!
Do not remove the software key from your node while MINI-LINK MANAGER
is running. If you do so, MINI-LINK MANAGER must be restarted and the
software key may be damaged.
Note: It is not recommended to attach any other device to the parallel port
that passes huge amounts of data (for example scanner, disc). A
printer though seems OK to attach to the parallel port.
1.2 Roadmap
The correct installation order for MINI-LINK MANAGER Server Application
is as follows:
4. Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and Service Pack 3 (required only if you want
to install a MINI-LINK Medium Capacity adaptation otherwise the MSDE
2000 will be installed as default)
The design of this roadmap is intended to show which installation steps you will
need to execute depending of the amount of features you want on the server. If
you have Windows 2000 Server already installed, go directly to the Windows
2000 Server configuration chapter. This chapter prepares the server computer
for a MINI-LINK MANAGER Server Application installation.
Look through the roadmap above of what components you need in your system.
Then look through the Adaptation requirements, the Interface requirements and
the Local Manager requirements to identify the options you need to add to the
basic MINI-LINK MANAGER Server Application installation.
Feel free to make notes of what chapters you will have to use to make the
custom installation desired. Then you should not have to refer to any other
installation sections in this manual.
Gather all the TCP/IP address information before you begin installation of 3rd
party software and MINI-LINK MANAGER itself. This should be inserted in the
host files of all connected computers on the network.
Note: All third party products must be installed before the installation of
MINI-LINK MANAGER; otherwise proper configuration will not be
possible.
If you are using MINI-LINK MANAGER with the default MSDE 2000 DB
and you want to install a MINI-LINK Medium Capacity Adaptation you
will need to run an upgrading procedure, from MSDE to Microsoft SQL
Server 2000 Standard Edition, as described in the appendix section.
In order to make the installation easy and smooth you have to make sure that
you have the right hardware as well as the right software installations, especially
WINDOWS 2000, see Windows 2000 Server installation instructions below.
Furthermore you should make sure to install all necessary 3rd party software
products before you start with the MINI-LINK MANAGER installation.
1.2.2 Mappings
When installing a MINI-LINK MANAGER Server Application use the above table
to find what additional installations of third party products you have to make
depending on your adaptation choices. Do likewise with the following sections
containing information for interfaces and local managers.
The time for installation of the required local manager software is after the
installation of MINI-LINK MANAGER Server . Check the overview above to see
when it will have to be done. You should have installed all needed 3rd party
software prior to MINI-LINK MANAGER installation according to this roadmap
otherwise you might face a reinstallation of MINI-LINK MANAGER and all 3rd
party software and / or local managers.
Make sure that you have the correct equipment run Windows 2000 Server and
the MINI-LINK MANAGER platform. See the following specifications for the
hardware requirements (Ericsson specifications):
Note: If parallel port is not present on motherboard and a separate PCI card
adapter is being used, execute the installation procedure described in
Section 1.2.9 on page 18 before continuing with normal installation
procedure.
Check the Windows 2000 installation package if it contains one CD-ROM disc
and one floppy disk.
• Most new servers that are recommended in the above documentation, have
the ability to boot on the installation CD for Windows 2000 directly.
• If this is the case, just power on the server and insert the CD in the
CD-ROM drive.
• If this does not happen, then the server does not have that ability, or it is
due to a setting in the server BIOS.
• If it still does not boot on the CD, you might have to boot on four floppy
disks, which should be included with Windows 2000.
• If the disks are not included, or if the floppy disks are missing, you have
to create them.
• The disks have to be created on a PC where you can use a CD-ROM drive.
• If you are accessing the CD from a character based interface (DOS) then
use the makeboot.exe program by entering makeboot a:.
• If you are accessing the CD from a Windows based computer, open a DOS
prompt window and enter: makeboot a:.
• You will be guided through the creation of the four floppy disks. Start the
installation by inserting the Windows 2000 Installation disk 1 and boot on it.
Note: You must install Windows 2000 on C partition and you do not change
the system directory WINNT. Check if the Regional Option is set
to English (United States) in the Regional Settings window during
Windows 2000 installation. If not, modify it with the Customize button
leaving the default date format: mm/dd/yyyy. During the Windows
2000 installation the Terminal Server must not be installed.
At first logon the "Windows 2000 Configure your Server" dialog appears.
Choose to configure your server later and uncheck the option "Show this
message at system start-up".
If the Windows 2000 system will not boot up because the boot files are corrupt
or missing, use the Windows 2000 Boot Disk. Insert the Boot Disk in drive A:\
and reboot your system. Make sure your computer BIOS is setup to read A: at
boot time. If and when the system has booted up and Windows 2000 is started,
copy the three files (BOOT.INI, NTDETECT.COM and NTLDR) back from A:\ to
C:\ by dragging and dropping the files with My Computer.
Begin installation of Microsoft Windows 2000 Server with the creation of the
partition(s). It is recommended to only have one partition on the server. Since
the recommendation is to have just one partition on the drive, that partition will
automatically become a boot partition.
If a RAID solution is to be used, with multiple hard drives in a RAID set, you will
have to configure and initialise the logical drive before you proceed. Instructions
on how to do this should be included in the shipment of the server.
Caution!
If you intend not to follow the recommendations about hard disk partitioning,
please note that MINI-LINK MANAGER can only be installed on the C:\ partition
or possibly the D:\ partition. You must not use partitions with drive letters E:\
to Z:\.
In order for MINI-LINK MANAGER to work properly, the computer name must
not consist of more than 8 characters. Otherwise the internal communication
will be corrupt.
Computer names and nodes aliases must contain only alphanumeric characters
(any special character is allowed).
An increase of the page file size is required. Go to Control Panel -> System ->
Performance and choose Page file size. Minimum should be as automatically
stated in the text input field (with 768 MB RAM in the server). Maximum should
be twice the size of physical RAM (with 768 MB RAM in the server, it should be
1536). Close all the windows. Windows 2000 might require a reboot after this
(if the page file is smaller than before).
1.2.3.7 DrWatson
˙ drwtsn32 -i
˙ drwtsn32
In the window that appears, tick the top three boxes under Options and leave
the rest. Set the log directory to C:\winnt (substitute c: for the appropriate
drive letter).
Before you continue the server configuration you should receive from the local
network administrator the following informations:
Note that both, a Domain Controller and a DNS server, must be present on the
network to ensure that MINI-LINK MANAGER Server works properly.
If a DNS server is not present, then the MINI-LINK MANAGER Server could be
configured to be a DNS server.
This can be done in two ways either you configure MINI-LINK MANAGER
Server as a DC and during the procedure described in the DC section you
promote it to be also a DNS server, or you must follow the procedure outlined
in the section "DNS".
If a Domain Controller does not exist on the network then the MINI-LINK
MANAGER Server could be configured as a Domain Controller. If this is the
case then the MINI-LINK MANAGER server IP address must be a static one.
Refer to "Domain Controller" section to configure MINI-LINK MANAGER Server
as a DC.
If the equipments are accessed through a router a Gateway IP, a DNS Host IP,
and a DNS IP are required. When Windows is installed and ready to use, test
the connection by using the PING command, and try to ping the equipment or
other computers.
3. The Wizard window then asks to install Active directory, just press Next.
4. In the next window choose "Domain controller for a new domain" and
press Next.
5. In the next window choose "Create a new domain tree" and press Next.
6. In the next window choose "Create a new forest for domain trees" and
press Next.
7. In the next window indicate "Full DNS name for new domain", insert the
name with a dot "name." and press Next.
8. In the next window indicate "Domain netbios name" leaving the default
name.
9. In the next two windows the location is showed. Leave the default value.
11. In "Active directory installation Wizard" select yes, install and configure
DNS on this computer (recommended).
12. In the next window choose "Permission compatible with pre W2K servers"
and press Next.
13. In the next window indicate the Administrator password for domain
management and press Next.
15. If the installation asks you to insert W2K disk please insert the 2000 Server
CD rom.
The installation will start and after the system reboot the machine is ready.
1.2.3.11 DNS
The PCs participating to the network of the DC PC, including the MINI-LINK
MANAGER Server PC, must be first configured as Member of WORKGROUP,
with static IP addresses and with DNS Server addresses the IP address of the
DC PC. Then they must join to the domain defined on the DC PC.
You will use Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 to update the system files on the
computer. Those can be found on the MINI-LINK MANAGER CD:
• To ensure that the system always has the latest system files installed, this
operation will have to be repeated several times.
• You will be prompted if you agree to the End User License Agreement.
When installation is done click Finish to reboot. The first time the computer has
rebooted after installation of IE5, some additional automatic configuration will
take place. Just wait for it to finish.
During the WIN2K operating system installation choose do not to install the IIS
(Internet Information Services). If these Windows Admin Services are already
installed, please de-install them from the Add-Remove Programs, checking in
Add/Remove Windows Components, Internet Information Services (IIS).
By now Windows will have rebooted (a couple of times) and you will have a
basic Windows 2000 Server up and running.
This software is needed for NERA NEW up to R7B (Server), so you can skip
this section if you do not use NERA equipment in your network.
In this chapter you will learn how to install NetOp, which is used for screen
integration of Windows NT2000 machines. NetOp Host is installed on a
machine you need to supervise via remote control, and NetOp Guest is installed
on a machine that you will use for surveillance.
• In the Registration window enter "Licensed to" and the "Serial number"
found on the NetOp license certificate. Then push the Next button.
• In the Communication Profile list box select TCP/IP by checking the box

file (for example Network.ids) that was loaded at the last MINI-LINK E
Adapter Server shut-down, then the following will happen:
1. The MINI-LINK E Adapter Server will get the last known severity for all
terminals in the network file.
Warning!
This section includes information about modifying your system registry. Using
the registry editors incorrectly may cause your system to become unbootable. It
is strongly recommended that you run RDISK /S to update Windows NT repair
information and create an emergency repair disk. RDISK is not a replacement
for a full back up. If you do not fully understand the instructions on editing
your systems registry we recommend that you consult your local systems
administrator for assistance.
4. If the user or group you want to login as is not in the Name list then you can
add them by clicking Add and selecting the username or groupname (notice
that you can select everyone instead, then this procedure will work for all
users defined on the domain) from the domain and clicking Add then OK.
5. You should now see your user or group (or everyone) in the Name list. Now
click Advanced, which will display the "Access Control Settings" dialog.
6. Select the user or group (or everyone) from the list and click View/Edit.
This will display the "Permission Entry" dialog, which shows the available
permissions.
7. Under the "Allow" column, put a check in the "Set Value" Permission. If
there is already a check, please double check that the correct user or group

Now you can log on as the user or group specified and access MINI-LINK
MANAGER.
Note: Each time a user with administrative rights creates maps, the steps
executed above for the security assignments in C:\Dynamics must be
performed also on the directory C:\Ericsson\IMA\pic, in order to allow
a user not in the administrator group to access those maps when he
logs onto the PC in a later session.
If the clients connected to the server are intended to use the pictures and the
maps that are stored on the server, it will be necessary to share the directory
that contains this information. Enable sharing on the C:\Ericsson\IMA folder
(substitute C: for the partition where you installed MINI-LINK MANAGER;
default name for the share will be IMA; replace IMA for <share> or any other
name you have chosen in what follows). Then you can map network drives on
the clients for <share>\pic accessing pictures and map information, and
<share>\local accessing security information.
1. Choose from the start menu: Programs > IMA > System Configuration.
2. Under Configure menu, select Local Startup. Check the boxes Continue
running after Logoff and Start FIX at system boot.

The terminal server provides the connection between the serial interface of
a MINI-LINK network and the MINI-LINK E Adapter Server workstation. A
terminal server is only needed if more than one sub-network is present.
Ericsson recommends:
or
Both models can be equipped with LAN or WAN interfaces for most data
network standards, such as Ethernet, Token Ring, X.25, ISDN, and so on.
Note: You will find the configuration procedure for Cisco Access Server Model
2509 in Section 1.19.4.14 on page 57.
The maximum distance between the terminal server and the MINI-LINK network
is approximately 15 meters (see Section 1.19.4.3 on page 49). If longer, it can
be connected via a modem (see Section 1.19.4.4 on page 49).
The MINI-LINK network should be connected with a straight cable from the
MINI-LINK element cabling to the V.24 spider connection cabling connected
to the terminal server.
Note: The maximum distance between the terminal server and the MINI-LINK
network is approximately 15 meters.
1.19.4.4 Modem
The PC is connected to the modem via the serial communication port, and the
modem is connected to the MINI-LINK equipment according to Table 3 on page
51,Table 4 on page 51 and Table 5 on page 52.
M o d e m B P S T N M o d e m A
M IN I- L IN K e q u ip m e n t
The calling and modem configurations must be done outside the MINI-LINK E
Adapter Server, with terminal-emulation software such as Telnet.
• 1200 bits/s
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• no parity
• no flow control
The tables below give guiding information on how to connect the modem
to MINI-LINK equipment (cable to Modem A in Figure 3 on page 49). For
connection between PC and modem, use a standard RS 232C cable. Consult
the modem manual for detailed instructions.
The Patton Model 2120 Single Port Terminal Server (TS) is used for building a
communication channel between a MINI-LINK E sub-network and MINI-LINK E
Adapter via a TCP/IP network. The main function of the TS is to convert signals
between the V24/RS232 and TCP/IP standards.
For more information, see the User Guide included in the delivery.
Figure 4 Overview
Using the gender changer, connect the RS232 cable on the TS to an unused
serial port on the PC (typically COM1 or COM2).
Note: Your model of PC may need to be turned off before you connect the
PC cable to a serial port. If in doubt, turn off your PC while connecting
the PC cable to the serial port.
2. If the Connection Description dialog box does not open, click New
Connection on the File menu.
3. In the Name box, type a name for the new connection, for example TS.
4. Click OK.
5. In the Connect using list, select the serial port to use (typically COM1 or
COM2).
Figure 6 Connect
6. Click OK.
8. Click OK.
If no connection is established:
Figure 8 TS Properties
5. Click OK.
3. Set the period of time (in minutes) that the TS will close an inactive
connection to the serial interface:
Note: This time must be longer than the polling time set in MINI-LINK
E Adapter.
6. Disable char string for termination of the connection on the serial interface:
7. Disable DHCP:
Reboot [power cycle] the terminal server. The new configuration is now active.
Connect the RS232 cable on the TS to the O&M port on MINI-LINK equipment.
Connect the TS to the TCP/IP network using the 10BASE-T LAN interface.
Once the TS has been configured and installed the initial HyperTerminal speed
is no longer appropriate. It must be changed to 1200 bits/s if the serial interface
should be able to work. However, from now on it is more convenient to use a
Telnet session for configuration (if needed).
3. Click OK.
The PC and the TS must in this case be connected via a LAN connection.

1.19.4.15 Connection
For connection to the ASYNC 1-8 port, use the octopus cable with a connector
for the ASYNC 1-8 port in one end and eight 8-pin RJ-45 connectors in the
other. The RJ-45 connectors can be connected to (up to) eight MINI-LINK
sub-networks. (The octopus cable is not included, and must be ordered
separately).
The AUX port on the Cisco terminal server can be used for a ninth MINI-LINK
sub-network.
Note: Cisco Access Server model 2511 has two identical ASYNC ports
(ASYNC 1-8 and ASYNC 9-16), and can be used for 16 MINI-LINK
sub-networks.
1.19.4.16 Configuration
Before the Cisco Access Server can be used, each port used must be
configured to provide the characteristics required by the MINI-LINK Networks.
The Cisco Access Server has to be installed and given a specific IP address
before the configuration can be done. You also have to know the two passwords
for the server. See the Cisco manuals for further instructions on these
procedures.
To configure the Cisco Access Server you have to log on to the server. This is
done by starting a Telnet session with the Access Server. The session can be
started from any workstation on the same LAN/WAN as the Access Server.
The actions below are performed from any workstation with access to the
Access Server (either via LAN, WAN or modem).
The password1 and password2 in Step 3 and Step 5 should be replaced with
valid passwords. See the Cisco Manuals. The cisco> prompt shows that a view
connection is established and the cisco# prompt shows that the configuration
mode is entered.
1. Start the application that provides a Telnet connection. The Telnet program
is easiest found on the Start menu:
Password: password1
cisco> enable
Password: password2
Repeat Step 7 to Step 9 for every port used for MINI-LINK connections.
cisco(config)# line 5
Line 5 represents Port 4005 for the Access Server. This port number
is entered in the MINI-LINK E Adapter Server installation program, see
Section 1.2.11 on page 26.
cisco(config-line)# stopbits 1
cisco(config-line)# databits 8
cisco(config-line)# no exec
cisco(config-line)# no exec-banner
cisco(config-line)# exit
Configure a Time-out
The Access Server needs to have a time-out if there is no traffic from the
MINI-LINK E Adapter Server. In this case all connections between the
MINI-LINK network and the MINI-LINK E Adapter Server are removed in the
Access Server. This ensures that the MINI-LINK E Adapter Server is able
to reconnect.
cisco(config-line)# session-timeout 1
12. Exit the configuration mode. Type and save the configuration in both the
running and boot memory:
cisco(config-line)# exit
cisco(config)# exit
cisco# exit
Here are a few more useful commands for the Cisco Access Server. They are
all used in the Telnet session window.
Caution!
You should not modify the communication parameters if you do not have good
knowledge about MINI-LINK networks.
Note: The values can be changed in run-time and have immediate impact.
Click Default to reset the network parameters to their default values.
