from the instructor.
IP addresses:……………………………………..
User name:………………………………………..
Password : ……………………………………….
Node A IP address: ……………………………..
Node B IP adress : ………………………………
Cluster IP address : ………………………………

Port Number : 22 (AP session)
Protocol: TCP/IP SSH
Target: APG4X [AXE]
Open WinFiol program: Start ->Element Management->WinFiol
• Use the tab Channel and choose Open-New-Properties to open

the Channel Properties window. Check that that the target is
APG40L and the protocol is TCP/IP SSH.
• The host name of the exchange is the Cluster IP address of the

APG43L to connect to and the port number is 22.

Scope.
Class MmlSession represents an opened MML session.

Open another I/O channel, type mml and check the AD
that you have.
5) Is the Network Element Identity (NEID) correct? If not,

please change it with the help of the OPI: Managed
Element Management. Use MO ManagedElement.
Hint: in the example below NEID is tp118ap1:
WO tp118ap1 AD-3 TIME 140604 1851 CP1

6) Define the exchange identity for the Cluster CPs. It could

seem useless defining it, in fact NEID is printed instead of
<exchange id>, but the exchange identity is anyhow used
in the alarm printouts.
Open a Cluster session with mml –a and change the exchange

identity, use command IOEXC. Check with IOEXP.
If you need any support, read the user guide MML Command
Administration.

2 HW Management
2.1 Objectives:
After this exercise, the students will able to manage and keep control of
installed hardware. You will learn how to retrieve information from the SPXs
and Cluster CPs. You will then be able to make a draw showing the slot
positions occupied by the related HW in the subracks based on the
information that you will list.
The objective of this part is to let you get familiar with the APZ which is
configured in your test plant. The settings below are done during maiden
installation and are expected to be correct.

For implementing the SSI, New MML Scheme a new concept regarding the
O&M level will be introduced based on the following elements:
 O&M Profile: it defines the supported O&M level.
 Cluster Operation Mode: it defines the type of activities the system

is able to handle.
 User Authority: Normal (CpRole 1…10) user and Expert user

Answer printouts The printout is received immediately after the MML command has

Result printouts This printout can take relatively longer to assemble than an answer

3.6 Alarms

In this exercise you will verify alarms on Cluster and Blade level with
ALLIP command. In the APZ BC system, in order to avoid multiple
alarms, some objects are handled at cluster level. Particular CPs will be
the master of these objects for the entire cluster, and will be responsible
for raising/ceasing cluster level alarms on these objects.

1) Open an AP session:
User:_________________, PSW:_________________
2) Open an mml session with mml –cp BCn and send :

SYREI:RANK=LARGE, EXPL=OTHER; to generate an alarm in
BCn.

6.4 Correction package deployment

The OPI: CP Cluster, Program Correction, Initiate describes the procedure to
enter or remove one or more corrections in central software units.
In this exercise you will follow the method Function Change on Intermediate
CP.
1) Ask the instructor for a software correction that will be used when the OPI
asks for loading the correction package. See Note.

2) Before you start, take a note of the main steps that you will use to execute
the procedure.
3) You will realize if you succeeded when you see the correction package that
you have loaded “multiplied” to all Cluster CPs, check with PCORP command.
4) Was it necessary to change the O&M Profile in this procedure? Explain the
reason(s) why O&M Profile must be changed.
Note: instead of loading a software correction, you can just “simulate” a

correction “package” using PCORI and write end; (a dummy code) . Another trial
can be just to passivate an existing correction with PCORE command.
This simulation must be done by the instructor!

combination of search parameters to limit the list range for the
history log.

Specify the option –t file for the clhtran command.
4. Check if the dump files of the log type chosen were transferred
is transferred to the local directory /data/opt/ap/internal_root

9 Observe the booting procedure in SPX (optional)
9.1 Objectives:
In some situations the operator needs to execute PTCPR command and
reboot the CP e.g. to make sure that the MW/ FW is upgraded to the latest
level.
You will execute this test in a training environment with the objective of observing the
booting procedure.

4) When the booting is finished, list the running processes use ps and check
that the new PES is running.
5) Check the MW installed in CP-B side: PTSRP:REG=FWLIST;
Verify the PLEX ENGINE DUMP and the CPHW DUMP.
CPHW DUMP: _________________________________
PLEX ENGINE DUMP:___________________________
6) Check the MW installed in APG, use cfeted –cp cp1 –v cur and cefeted
–cp cp1 –v new.

Verify the PLEX ENGINE DUMP and the CPHW DUMP. Are they the same
software products loaded in the CP-B side compared to the printout received
in the previous item?
CPHW DUMP: _________________________________
PLEX ENGINE DUMP:___________________________
7) And normalize the system with RECCI.

After this exercise, the students will be able to:

1.2 APG COM CLI

Prior to performing this exercise the following information must be obtained

from the instructor.

Node A IP address: ……………………………..

Node B IP adress : ………………………………

Cluster IP address : ………………………………

-6 - © Ericsson AB 2020 03814-LZU1089750 Rev C

Port Number : 22 (AP session)

Protocol: TCP/IP SSH

Target: APG4X [AXE]

Open WinFiol program: Start ->Element Management->WinFiol

• Use the tab Channel and choose Open-New-Properties to open

• The host name of the exchange is the Cluster IP address of the

the session that you access?

4) In a Multi-CP System, different session types (Cluster, UCP,

RCP) are opened primarily based on parameters like CP

Class MmlSession represents an opened MML session.

5) Is the Network Element Identity (NEID) correct? If not,

Hint: in the example below NEID is tp118ap1:

WO tp118ap1 AD-3 TIME 140604 1851 CP1

6) Define the exchange identity for the Cluster CPs. It could

Open a Cluster session with mml –a and change the exchange

1.3 Winfiol, GUI

In order to make it easier to keep the configurations of the applications

running on different blades or boards aligned, a comparison feature and a

command dispatcher are provided in Winfiol.

1) Open WinFiol program: Start Element Management -----

APG4X and the protocol is TCP/IP SSH.

• The host name of the exchange is the IP address of the

APG43L to connect to and port number must be 5002 and then

open the channel.Terminal type is vt100.

• A window can pop-up to alert the operator that there are

options that must be selected. Otherwise open Channels 

Properties Target  Session Options to set a CP scope.

• Then choose CPGROUP ALLBC, COMPAREPRINTOUTS

TRUE, press OK and you will be prompted for a MML Session.

2) Send the command CACLP; and PLLDP; commands towards
