Fig. 2.1 TNMS-M Series Products
TNMS-M LCT (Local Craft Terminal) provides an NE level TNMS-M based management
function and GUI. One TNMS-M LCT application can only connect and manage one NE at
one time. The interface between TNMS-M LCT and NE is TNMS-M based. Different types of
network elements correspond to different types of LCTs, which are mainly used for on-site
management and maintenances.
TNMS-M SURPASS hiT 7060 LCT is an element management system for a single NE,
which is designed to provide comprehensive fault, configuration, and performance
management functions for the SURPASS hiT 7060 product line.
i Note: The latest 7060 R3.x LCT can manage all old 7060 R3.x NEs, but can not manage any
7060 R4.x NEs (4.x, 3.x refer to release versions, such as 4.0, 3.3, etc).

12.1 Bridge Configuration

There is one way to open the <Bridges Properties> window:
Right-click the corresponding Ethernet card and select <Bridge Configuration> in pop-up
menu.
The <Bridge Properties> window will appear. (See Fig. 12.1)
Fig. 12.1 Bridge Properties
The <Bridge Properties> section can display the current NE, Card name, and the status of
the bridge in corresponding items.
Select the type of tag needed from the <Bridge Mode> drop-down menu. Available values
are <IEEE 802> mode, when the native frame will not be tagged and <Double Tagging>
mode, when the native frame will be tagged.
Note: The definition of “tagged” or “untagged” frame is as follow:
i 1) For IEEE 802.3 Tag Bridge Mode (Ethernet Type value of Bridge is “0x8100”): If the
incoming frame is been tagged and the Ethernet Type value in the first tag is equal to
“0x8100”, then we call it “tagged”; if the incoming frame is without a tag or if with a tag, but
the Ethernet Type value in the first tag (after Destination Address field) is not equal to
“0x8100”, then we call it “untagged”.
2) For Double Tag Bridge Mode (Ethernet Type value of Brideg is not equal to “0x8100”,
default value is “0xFFFF”): If the incoming frame is tagged and the Ethernet Type value is
equal to that of local Double Tag Bridge, then we call it “tagged”; if the incoming frame is
A42022-L5969-E 53-1-7619 95
without a tag or if with a tag, but the Ethernet Type value of the first tag in the incoming
customer frame is not equal to that of local Double Tag Bridge, then we call it “untagged”.
Input a text string in the <Label> field to help identify this bridge.
<MAC aging time> indicates the living time of MAC address. Different cards have different
aging time range:
1) For a 6×FE/L2 card, the range is from 10s to 630s, in step of 10s, 300s by defaut;
2) For a 2×GE+8×FE/AE card, the range is from 20s to 75minutes, in step of 14s, 300s by
default.
i Note: For different card types, there are different algorithms to get the actual value of MAC
aging timing from the value setted in the window. Only with a correct description can an
operator use the time.
1) For the 2×GE+8×FE /AE card, the range of actual value of aging time is between
( integer[aging/14] ×13) to (integer[aging/14] ×14). The expression of integer[aging/14]
means to get the integer part of aging/14, while aging is the setted valuel in the window.
2) For the 6xFE card, the range of actual value of aging time is from (aging) to (aging×2),
while expression of aging is the same as front.
For different card types, The output rate of port rate limiting and vlan+port rate limiting can
be calculated by the following ways.
1) for 6FE/L2:
The output rate of port rate limiting can be calculated by the following formula(same with
VLAN rate limiting).
Ltotal
Vo = Vlim it ×
Ltotal − l src − l des − ltag − llength − lcrc
Vo : output rate
Vlimit : limiting rate
Ltotal : total frame size（including 4 CRC Bytes）
lsrc : SourceMAC Address size, 6 Bytes
ldes : DestinationMAC Address size, 6 Bytes
ltag : 4 Tag Bytes
llength : 2 frame length Bytes
lcrc : 4 CRC Bytes
2) for 32wan:
the output rate is just same with port limit rate.
Below this window, there are two tables, which list all LAN and WAN ports. Click the tab to
change the table between them. After selecting one port, double-click it to see more detail
information about this port.

management.
To open the <LAN Port Property Configuration> window, follow the steps below:
Select the corresponding Ethernet card and,
Right click the card, and select <Lan Ports Property Configuration> to open the <LAN Port
Property Configuration> window without a specific port defined. The operator can specify a
unique port by selecting one from the <Port> drop-down menu. Or:
Select the corresponding port in the Ethernet card, right click on it, and select <LAN Ports
Property Configuration> to open the <LAN Port Property Configuration> window with a
specific port defined
Note: For 2×GE+8×FE/AE cards, there are two interfaces on a single physical Ethernet
i port. In detail, FE Port 1 and 5 share physical port 1; 2 and 6 share port 2, 3 and 7 share port
3, and 4 and 8 share port 4. If the user right-clicks one FE port on such a card and selects
<LAN Ports Property Configuration> in the pop-up menu, a window will first pop up to let the
user choose a specific port before the <LAN Port Property Configuration> window appears.
On the panel of a 2×GE+8×FE/AE card, there are two LEDs beside each RJ-45 connector,
indicating the link and data receiving/transmitting status for the two Ethernet ports on the RJ-

port on a 2×GE+8×FE/AE card, the Algorithm can be set as <WFQ> (Weighted Fair
Queuing) or <Scrictly>.
<Mode>: <Default> or <Mode2>.
i Note: Egress port mode is related to HOL (Head of Line) issue, which means if incoming
frames from different ports are forwarded by an egress port, when the egress port queue is
congested (incoming rate is rapid than outgoing rate), we call it HOL issue. When HOL issue
is happened, CoS in egress port may have problem under “mode1”, which means in “mode1”,
internal HOL function will be disabled, flow control will take effective, but CoS will not be
accurate again. In order to solve CoS inaccurate issue, we also support “mode2”, in this
mode2, HOL function will be enabled, CoS can be accurate, but flow control function will be
disabled, and egress port will discard overflow frames according to CoS priority. Please be
notified, the “flow control” function mentioned above is internal flow control in L2 Swtich in
which flow control is sent from egress port to all related incoming ports in the same L2
Switch.

of east and west external command respectively.
After select side, click command in <Command> dropdown menu.
<Clear>: Clears the externally initiated command and WTR at the node to which the
command was addressed. The NE-to-NE signaling following removal of the externally
initiated commands is performed using the NR code.
<LockOut Protection>: Prevents the ring wraps anywhere for any protection activity and
prevents using ring switches anywhere in the ring. If any ring switches exist in the ring, this
command causes the switches to drop. If there is a span switch for this span, it is dropped.
Thus, all ring switching is prevented (and pre-empted), and span switching is prevented only
on the locked-out span.
<Forced Switching Ring>: Performs the ring switch for normal traffic from the working
channels to the protection channels for the span between the node at which the command is
initiated and the adjacent node to which the command is destined. This switch occurs
regardless of the state of the protection channels, unless the protection channels are
satisfying a higher priority bridge request.
<Manual Switching Ring>: Performs the ring switch for the normal traffic from the working
channels to the protection channels for the span between the node at which the command is
initiated and the adjacent node to which the command is destined. This switch occurs if the
protection channels are not in an SD condition and are not satisfying an equal or higher
priority bridge request (including failure of the protection channels).
<Exercise>: Command switch test
Click <Apply> to perform this command.
A42022-L5969-E 53-1-7619 159

determined to be new instantiations. This number does not include newer instantiations of
self-originated link-state advertisements.
<External LSDB Limit>: The maximum number of non-default AS-external-LSA entries that
can be stored in the link-state database. If the value is -1, then there is no limit.
<Multicast Extensions>: A Bit Mask indicating whether the router is forwarding IP multicast
(Class D) datagrams based on the algorithms defined in the Multicast Extensions to OSPF.
If set to Bit 0, this indicates that the router can forward IP multicast datagrams in the router's
directly attached areas (called intra-area multicast routing). If set to Bit 1, this indicates that
the router can forward IP multicast datagrams between OSPF areas (called inter-area
multicast routing). If set to Bit 2, this indicates that the router can forward IP multicast
datagrams between Autonomous Systems (called inter-AS multicast routing).
<Exit Overflow Interval>: The number of seconds that a router will attempt to leave
OverflowState, after entering OverflowState. This allows the router to re-originate non-default
AS-external-LSAs. When set to 0, the router will not leave OverflowState until restarted.
<Exit Overflow Interval> will not be supported.
<Demand Extensions>: The router's support for demand routing

blocks. Thus, the signal structure of an RS in an STM-N comprises N blocks within a frame.
Errored Block (EB): A block in which one or more bits are in error.
Errored Second (ES): A one second period with one or more errored blocks or at least one
defect.
Severely Errored Second (SES): A one-second period which contains >=X% errored blocks
or at least one defect. SES is a subset of ES.
Constant Severely Errored Second (CSES): Period with consecutive SES.
Background Block Error (BBE): An errored block not occurring as part of an SES.
Unavailable Second (UAS): Ten consecutive SES seconds will cause the UAS to increase.
Ten consecutive error free seconds will stop the UAS from increasing.
Out of Frame Second (OFS): A one-second period with one or more wrong frames.
UnAvailable Period (UAP): Timestamps indicating the beginning and end of an Unavailable
Period. A period of unavailable time begins at the onset of ten consecutive SES events.
These ten seconds are considered to be part of unavailable time. A new period of available
time begins at the onset of 10 consecutive non-SES events. UAP is independent from 15m

17.1.1.4 PM for Pointer Justification Counts at Administrative Unit (G.707)
The AU pointer is contained in the H1, H2 and H3 bytes which are associated with, but not
part of, the SDH Multiplexing Section Overhead. The N bits (bits 1-4) of the pointer carry the
New Data Flag which allows an arbitrary change of the pointer value if that change is due to
a change in the payload. The last ten bits (bits 7-16) of the H1 and H2 bytes carry the pointer
value that designates the location of the byte where the VC-n begins. The H3 is the pointer
action byte. The AU pointer provides a method of allowing flexible and dynamic alignment of
the VC within the AU frame.
During normal operation, the NDF is disabled and set to "0110", and the pointer locates the
start of the VC-n within the AU-n frame. If there is a frequency offset between the frame rate
of the AUG and that of the VC-n, the pointer value will be incremented or decremented by
one as needed, accompanied by a corresponding positive or negative justification byte or
bytes. This operation is indicated by inverting five I-bits or D-bits of the pointer. The positive
justification bytes appear immediately after the last H3 byte in the AU-n frame and the
negative justification bytes appear in the H3 bytes in the AU-n frame.
If there is a change in the payload, NDF is enabled by inversion of the N-bits to "1001". The
new location of the VC-n begins at the first occurrence of the offset indicated by the new
pointer. For AU-4 concatenation, the AU-n pointer is set to Concatenation Indication, "1001"
in bits 1-4 and ten "1"s in bits 7-16.
Currently PPJC and NPJC can be monitored only at AU-4.

18 Alarm and Event Management
18.1 Overview of Alarms

There are five alarm severity level values defined:
• Critical—Service-interrupting alarms.
• Major—Service-affecting alarms.
• Minor—Non-Service-affecting alarms that could potentially become service-affecting.
The user needs to inspect the system faults and provide fixes in order to prevent the
alarm from deteriorating to Major.
• Warning—Non-Service-affecting alarms. Information is presented to the user for the
purpose of maintenance.
• All—All the above four alarm severity levels.
There are five types of failures in the system:

• Transmission Failure—Failures related to transmission status, such as LOS, LOF, LOP,
and LOM.
• Quality of Service Failure—Failure related to system performance, such as response
time being too long, threshold crossing, and performance degradation.
• Equipment Failure—Failures related to hardware equipment.
• Processing Error Failure—Failures related to software or the fault processing, such as
memory overflow, version incompatibility, software errors, program illegal interruption,
NE configuration errors or an inaccessible NE, as well as AIS, TIM, REI, RDI, PLM, and
UNEQ.
• Environmental Failure—Failures related to environment changes, such as unacceptable
temperature and humidity, ventilation or cooling system faults, excessive vibration, or an
open door in the equipment room.

18.7.1 Interpreting the Node Event Log

There are three types of events defined in the system: Management, Hardware, and
Software. The TNMS-M SURPASS hiT 7060 LCT time-stamps every event and logs the
event to a log file. The TNMS-M SURPASS hiT 7060 LCT displays the system events
through Event/Alarm Manager. Events listed in the event log detail the time and date the
event occurred, the name of the event, the type of event, and a short description of the event.
The Event about the communication between NE and LCT is recorded by LCT itself rather
than getting from NE.
Events are purely informational and indicate changes in the status of the system related to
the management and administration of the system, such as a user logging onto the node or
a change to configuration options.
18.7.2 Management Events

The attributes of the management events should at least include: Event name, Timestamp,
User name and privilege level, and Description.

20 How To
20.1 Creating a TU12 Cross-Connection between STM-16 and STM-

1
1. Set TP Mapping
To create a Cross Connection, first set the corresponding TP mapping according to the
capacity of the Cross Connection to make sure that the slot mapping satisfies the cross
connection requirements. The default slot mapping of SDH ports in SDH card is AU-4.
Therefore, to create a TU12 connection between those two cards, the user need refer to the
following steps to change AU-4 mapping to TU12 mapping.
Step1: Select <Configuration>Æ<TP Multiplexing Structure> from the main menu, then a
<TP Multiplexing Structure> window will appear. (See Fig. 20.1)
Fig. 20.1 TP Multiplexing Structure
Step2: Select #1LC8<4×STM-4(1)> and the corresponding port, and then click <Query>.
The querying result is shown in window. (See Fig. 20.2)
Fig. 20.2 Query Result
Step3: Click the plus sign to expand the tree menu or click the minus sign to collapse the
tree menu. Another option is to right-click the catalog name and then select <Expand> in the
260 A42022-L5969-E 53-1-7619

pop-up menu to expand this function’s next catalog. Selecting <Expand All> also expands all
the catalogs under this function. (See Fig. 20.3)
Fig. 20.3 Expanding Tree Graph
Step4: If the slot is idle it is blue and if it is occupied it is orange. Notice that a slot mapping
can be modified only when it’s idle.
Step5: Right-click an idle AU-4 slot, select <Mapping AU-4 (1)> Æ<AU-4 To TUG-3> in the
pop-up menu, then click <Apply>. The TP mapping between AU-4 and TU12 is complete.

destination, which is the mainly application. <Uni-direction> means source and destination
configuration respectively.
Source card is #LC7<1× STM-16(Line)>; source port is P01; destination card is
#LC10<2×STM-1(Line)>; and destination port is P01.
Step4: Under the source port and destination port all available slots will be displayed (if the
slot has been taken, or the slot mapping is different from the capacity of the cross connection,
then it will not be shown).
264 A42022-L5969-E 53-1-7619

Step5: Select a slot in the source and destination respectively, and then click <Apply>. The
user can also select many slots to create many cross connections. This is done by holding
the <Shift> key and then clicking to select many successive slots, or holding the <Ctrl> key
and then clicking to select many independent slots.

20.6 Creating SNCP Using 2 Ports of STM-1

Sub-Network Connection Protection (SNCP) provides protection at VC-4-Xv/VC-3-Xv/ VC-
12-Xv levels. In the transmission end, service is bridged to two output ports; the two signals
are transmitted to the destination via different routes. One is main channel and the other is
the backup channel. In the receiving end, the NE selects a better signal from the two coming
signals. When the main channel has failed a system will switch to the protection SNCP
channel to receive services.
To describe how to configure SNCP protection, an example of a four-node ring is shown in
Fig. 20.42. Assume that a VC-4 connection between NE-A and NE-C needs to be
established. The working channel is from NE-A, NE-B, to NE-C. The protection channel is

284 A42022-L5969-E 53-1-7619

Fig. 20.42 SNCP Example
To implement the SNCP, configure each NE as follows:

Create a bi-directional VC-4 level cross-connection between an STM-1 unit port and a LC2
port AU4 of NE-A.
Create a bi-directional VC-4 level cross connection between the first LC1 port AU4 and the
first LC2 port AU4 of NE D.
Create a bi-directional cross connection on the VC-4 level between an STM-1 unit port and
the first LC1 port AU4 of NE C.
The following example is provided to create SNCP protection group using the TNMS-M
SURPASS hiT 7060 LCT:
Step1: Select <Configuration>→<SNCP Management> from the main menu, the <SNCP
Fig. 20.43 SNCP Management
A42022-L5969-E 53-1-7619 285

Step2: Click <Create> and the <Create and Config SNCP> window will appear. (See Fig.
20.44) Click the <Capacity> drop-down menu and select VC-4. Select <Bidirectional> in the
<Direction> dropdown menu. Set <Non-Revertive> in the <Restore Mode> dropdown menu.
Set the parameters in the Working TP section as:

Working Card: #LC1<4×STM-4(1)>
Working Port: P01
By Time Slot: AU4 (#02)
The working TP is the slot of the working channel cross-connection line port in NE-A.
Set the parameters in the Protection TP section as:
Protecting Card: #LC2<4× STM-4/(1)>
Protecting Port: P01
By Time Slot: AU4 (#02)
Fig. 20.44 Create and Config SNCP
Step3: Click <Apply> and the SNCP is created successfully. For NE-A, the original bi-
direction cross-connect provides the channel protection function. NE-A sends the signal to
both line ports LC1 and LC2 simultaneously and selects the better one from the two received
signals from LC1 and LC2. (See Fig. 20.45)
286 A42022-L5969-E 53-1-7619

Fig. 20.45 SNCP Protection of NE A
Note: The way to create channel protection of NE-C is the same as that in NE-A. The
i difference is the working TP and protection TP are opposite to those of NE-A.
After creation of the SNCP protection group, click <Query> in Fig. 20.43 to view the existing
SNCP protection group. Select the corresponding protection group, and click <Switch>. The
<SNCP Switch> window will appear (See Fig. 20.46). In this window the condition of the
current protection group is known. In the meantime, the protection switch operation for the
SNCP protection group is done manually by clicking <Command List>.
Fig. 20.46 SNCP Switch
<Clear>: This command clears all commands that have been started as well as the NE
operation recovery time.
<Lock Out>: Protection switching will shut down, and the working channel will take on the
service. Even if there is malfunction, switching will not occur.
<Force Switch to Protection>: Users switch services to the protection channel by force even
if there is a fault on this channel. If the force switch requirement is not cleared, automatic
switching will not occur.
<Force Switch to Working>: User will switch service to the working channel by force even if
there is a fault on this channel. If the force switch requirement is not cleared, automatic
switching will not occur.
<Manual Switch to Protection>: Users switch services to the protection channel manually on
the condition that there is no fault on this channel. Automatic switching is still in effect.
<Manual Switch to Working>: Users switch services to working channel manually on the
condition that there is no fault on this channel. Automatic switching is still in effect.
