Topology management is used to create and manage the topology
structure of the entire network and reflect the networking and
running status of devices. You can learn and monitor the running
status of the entire network in real time by browsing the topology
view.
Topology management provides the following functions:
Three types of topology types are provided: physical view,
electronic map, and customized view. You can define and organize
different topology views as required.
Different icons are used to identify different types of topology
objects. A small icon is used to identify the status of a topology
object, such as the disconnection state and the synchronization
state.
Adding, deleting, modifying, and moving the NE, subnet, and link in
the topology view are supported.
The status of each managed object can be displayed, such as whether
the object is faulty and whether the object is connected to other
NEs.
You can query and browse the alarm information of an NE by using
the topology view.
You can customize the start view, filter topology objects by type,
order topology objects by legend, and order topology objects by
name or type.
Setting the background is supported on the topology view. You can
learn the specific location of a device node by viewing the
location of the icon in the background.
Topology view supports global zooming and partial zooming to help
you view the network topology structure.
The function of finding the global topology objects is provided to
help you locate the topology object. The auxiliary tools, such as
the overview, print, and filter tools are provided to help you
implement the management function.

Objects in Topology
Objects in topology indicate the objects in the network. Each
element managed by the NMS is an object.
An object can be a subnet, an NE, a group NE, or a link between
NEs.
x-*
Subnet: A large network can be divided into several smaller
networks based on a specific rule (for example, by region) for the
convenience of network management. In topology, these smaller
networks are called subnets.
A subnet exists in the physical topology and logical
topology.
NE: NEs are used to identify concrete entity devices, such as
switches and routers. NEs can be grouped into physical NEs and
virtual NEs.
Group NE: In a telecommunication network, some NEs are
interdependent. A group NE is an NE that has the characteristics of
both NE and subnet.
Link: Links refer to the links between NEs that are mapped in the
topology, including physical links and virtual links.
Physical link indicates that there is physical connection between
two physical NEs. Currently the M2000 supports six types of
physical links: M3UA, H248, BICCSCTPLNK, DATALINK, MTP3, and
MTP3B.
M3UA, H248 and BICCSCTPLNK links are created by the system
automatically.
DATALINK, MTP3 and MTP3B links are created manually. You can delete
only physical links that are manually created.
Virtual link refers to the logic link between two NEs (including
physical NEs and virtual NEs), and you can set up a virtual link
manually.

Designing a Physical View
Before deploying NEs in a physical view, you need to design a
physical subnet. The physical topology must show the topology
structure of the actual telecommunication network and facilitate
the routine operation and maintenance of operators.
On the physical topology, topology objects and the hierarchical
relationship among objects are shown in the navigation tree on the
left; all topology objects on the existing subnet and the location
relationship among the objects are shown in the topology view on
the right.
x-*
The M2000 provides the following modes for dividing physical
subnets to meet various management requirements:
By region: based on regions where NEs are located.
By NE type: based on types of NEs.
By IP Address: based on IP addresses of NEs.
By responsible person: based on responsible persons of NEs.

By properly setting a background and device position, you can know
the locations of the devices directly.
Only the image files in the formats of .gif or .jpg can be
imported, and the file size cannot exceed 1 MB.
If you need to cancel the background setting, select empty.gif in
the Select a background dialog box and click Open.

Classification of Physical NEs
A physical NE is a communication device that is connected to the
M2000 and can be managed by the M2000. The M2000 can manage a
communication device only when the corresponding physical NE is
created on the M2000.
The M2000 divides the managed mobile network devices into the
devices of the GSM, WCDMA, CDMA, WiMAX, and LTE network based on
the network that the NE belongs to. IP devices are independent of
the preceding networks.

After you successfully create a physical NE in the topology view,
the M2000 obtains the configuration data of the NE by synchronizing
the NE.

Creating Physical Links
A physical link is a physical connection between two physical NEs.
You can have a clear understanding of the telecommunication network
between NEs and the communication status by setting up a physical
link. The MTP3 MTP3B, and DATALINK links must be created
manually.
Currently, the M2000 supports the following link types: M3UA, H248,
BICCSCTPLNK, DATALINK, MTP3, and MTP3B.
M3UA, H248, and BICCSCTPLNK links are automatically created by the
system. MTP3 MTP3B, and DATALINK links must be created
manually.
You can delete only physical links that are manually created.

Creating Multiple Physical NEs
The M2000 supports the function of creating multiple physical NEs
to reduce the maintenance workload. You can create multiple
physical NEs at a time on the topology.
Before creating multiple physical NEs in batches, you must copy the
information about the physical NEs to be created to an .ini or .csv
file. The operation does not support the creation of virtual
NEs.
x-*
The template used for creating NEs in batches is divided into the
INI and CSV format. The script file in the CSV format does not
support the creation of the RNC, RAC, BSC, GT800BSC, BSC6000, CBSC,
and IMS group NEs (IMSOMU, CSCF, HSS, ATS, RM, CCF, DOPRA, SBC,
MRF, MRFC, MRFP, CSE, OMS2600, MEDIAX, and IPCTRX).

Setting NE Reconnection Status
When an NE is disconnected from the M2000 server, you can specify
whether the M2000 server attempts to reconnect the NE.
There are two reconnection states:
Enable Connection
When an NE is disconnected from the M2000 server, the M2000 server
attempts to reconnect the NE. By default, the reconnection status
of a newly added NE is Enable Connection.
Disable Connection
When an NE is disconnected from the M2000 server, the M2000 server
does not attempt to reconnect the NE.

Adjusting the Network Topology
After a subnet, NEs, and links are successfully created, you can
adjust the network topology as required. The network topology
adjustment involves operations such as modification and deletion of
the subnet, NEs, and links. The shortcut menu supports the
preceding operations.
