Chapter 1 System Description

Overview

This manual covers the TEAM 700 Unix Application for HP OpenView. You should be familiar with HP OpenView and with the operation of SpectraComm Units (SCU) and DataComm Un(DCU) to use this manual effectively.

The TEAM 700 Application is actually a collection of integrated applications for the HP OpenView Network Management Platform. The applications use the Simple Network Management Protoc(SNMP) to manage GDC 700 SCUs and DCUs.

TEAM 700 applications enable you to:

• Configure 700 SCUs and DCUs.

• Monitor the operation of the SCUs and DCUs through displays of Alarms and DTE Interface States, and through a Front Panel display that shows LED indicators as they appear ofront panel of the physical unit.

• Diagnose suspected problems using local and remote loops (with or without an internally generated test pattern).

Basic Design

The SpectraComm HDSL (High Bit Rate Digital Subscriber Line) is designed as a flexible and versatile connection to the T1/E1 or Fractional T1/E1 telecommunications network.

Referred to as the master unit, the SC701 T2, SC700 G2, SC700 G3, SC702 G2, and SC710 D2 arSpectraComm units installed in the SpectraComm shelf and can accommodate up to three units. These remotes include the DataComm Units DC721 T2, DC730 D1, DC730 D2, DC 720 G1, DC720 G2, and DC731 D2, which can be used in a point-to-point or a multipoint configuration. You can operate the SC701 T2, SC700 G2, SC700 G3, SC702 G2, and SC710 D2 with either one loop or all loops enabled. When you work in a multi-point configuration, only like units can be added as remotes (two DC 721 T2s or two DC 731 D2s).

Up to 15 700-managed SC701 T2, 700 G2, 700 G3, 702 G2, and 710 D2 units can be accommodatedin a single shelf, and up to 31 of them in a dual shelf. The 700 is fully network managed by the shelf resident SpectraComm Manager (SCM) and an associated SNMP manager.

Theory of Operation

The TEAM Application Components are your gateway to the TEAM system which carries out eachtask while being user-friendly. All of the TEAM Controller application interfaces use the HP OpenView APIs (Application Programmer Interfaces) to integrate with HP OpenView Windows and other network management applications. Menus are pulled down from the appropriate OpenView submap or are activated from the front panel button. The TEAM Controller GUI scrmeet HP OpenView premier partner requirements.

700 Unit Capabilities

With the Team 700 application, DataComm and SpectraComm units provide:

• Local loop transmission for full and fractional T1/E1 services

• Telephone company/carrier or end-user transmission

• Internal testing

SpectraComm Manager Card and 700-Managed Units

The SpectraComm and DataComm 700-managed units work with the GDC SpectraComm M(SCM) card to give you comprehensive network management using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The SCM acts as the SNMP agent through which TEAM management applications communicate with these 700-managed units and other compatible equipment.

All management communications are directed to the SCM card Internet Protocol (IP) addresSCM card relays commands and responses between management applications and hardware components, using a slot addressing scheme to communicate over the SpectraComm shelfbackplane with the other components. The SCM is transparent to the applications, which opethough they were communicating directly with the hardware units. The SCM card is managed by the TEAM Core application, which is also responsible for the Discovery and Mapping functions bywhich HP OpenView keeps track of the devices being managed.

Accessing Team 700

The applications that make up the Team 700 manager are grouped on menus under the hePerformance , Configuration , Fault , and Misc (Miscellaneous). Menus for the applications are available in two ways:

• From the menu bar of the HPOV Map window when an 700-managed unit is selected in the window

• From the Select button on the 700 Front Panel display.

700 front panel displays current status information on the 700-managed unit by displaying the states of the LED indicators on the front panel of the unit. The managed-unit has Select button menus where you can access all other functions of the TEAM 700 manager. You can select the fronfrom the Performance menu in the HPOV Map window menu bar. You can also launch the front panel display from that window by double-clicking on the shelf icon of the unit or device you needto work with.

The following TEAM 700 applications appear on both the Map window and Select button menus:

• Performance :

Alarms – furnishes detailed information about alarm state changes

Status – presents information on the status of signals in the DTE interface

Reports – displays statistical reports

Chapter 2 Operations

Introduction to Operations

The Team 700 operates by giving you easy access to its fundamental tools when you run the application. You can see how it constantly gives you feedback on status and alarms, allows you freedom to configure and maintain the application, and advises you of immediate testing res

Accessing 700 Applic ation

The Team 700 controller application consists of a group of smaller applications, each devoted tspecific aspect of controlling or monitoring 700 units. As mentioned in Chapter 1, you can access the Team 700 applications by:

• the map window menu bar, or

• the front panel window Select button menus.

This chapter describes both ways.

Performance

There are five performance applications described in this chapter:

• Alarms gives you alarm information in a read-only window.

• Status gives you the status of signals in the DTE interface.

• Reports displays information on a variety of error conditions that may be experienced bythe unit over a 24-hour period.

• Current Interval Reports displays the most recent 15 minutes of information concerning error conditions.

• Front Panel displays the front panel of an unit.

Configuration

Configuration has three parts: Configure , Circuit Configuration , and Maintenance . Each supports read/write windows so that you can review and change unit operating parameters. This chapter describes how to access Configure , Circuit Configuration and Maintenance . Separate chapters are devoted to showing you how thapplications work.

Fault

The Fault menu lets you access Diagnose . With the Diagnose application you can commandthe test functions of the units and see the test results. This chapter describes how to accessDiagnose application. A later chapter shows you how to use Diagnose .

Misc

Three items appear under the menu Misc (miscellaneous): Information , Front Panel Poll Rate , and Note Pad. Only Information appears on the Select button menu of the front panel display.

Map Window Menu Bar Access

The table below illustrates how the Team 700 application functions are arranged on the menu barat the top of the HPOV Map window and shows only the menu selections for the Team 700 applications. The map window menus include selections besides those that apply to Team 70the window also lets you access other applications. You must select the unit you intend to work wbefore you open the intended menu. Select the unit by clicking the mouse once on its icon ishelf slot.

The menu item Agent Templates, which appears under Misc in the menu listing on thepage, does not apply to SCM-based applications such as Team 700. The use of that func-tion is therefore not documented in this manual.

Its functionality is employed by standalone Team application products such as Team 540 and Team 553. The Agent Templates function is documented in the manuals for those products.

Reports

You can launch the Team 700 Reports application from the Performance menu of the HPOV Shelf-Map window menu bar or of the front panel display Select button menu. The application disstatistics accumulated by the DSU concerning seven types of error conditions.

When you launch the Report application, it initially displays an Error Reports summary window(See Figure 2-7) that displays statistics for all the error conditions the application tracks. The Navigate menu of the summary window lets you access individual windows that furnish mordetailed statistics on each error condition.

The statistics displayed in the Error Reports summary window cover the current 24 hours of operation (excluding the current, incomplete 15-minute interval). The application indicates how often each of the eight error types took place during the period:

• Errored Seconds (ES)

• Severely Errored Seconds (SES)

• Bursty Errored Seconds (BES)

• Unavailable Seconds (UAS)

• Controlled Slip Seconds (CCS)

• Loss of Frame Count (LOFC)

• Far End Block Error Count (FEBE)

• Severely Degraded Minutes (SDM) (E1 only--currently not supported)

Figure 2-7 shows you the window or screen display of the results of these eight error events, recorded by the application. The eight error events reflect the outcomes from one of four selectable categories: line (E1/T1 ) or one of the 700 loops (Loops 1, 2, or 3). Below the selectable categoriesare three bar graphs, where the vertical axis shows you units and minutes ; and where the horizontal axis shows you the distribution of the eight error events. Selectable limits for each scale are designated as Set Vertical Scale at the top of bar graphs. Just click on a particular category and vertical scale for times and occurrences.

Chapter 3 Configuration

Introduction

The Team 700 Configuration application enables you to set all the options in an 700 DSU tha convenient group of configuration windows.

You can start the Team 700 Configuration application by either of two methods:

• Select a DSU symbol on the shelf submap in OpenView , then select the Configure option from the Configuration menu.

• Click on the Select button of the Front Panel display, then click on Configuration and select Configure from the resulting menu.

Templates

You can store configuration settings as templates on the workstation that runs the Team 700 application. A template stores a configuration for the unit options, and you can store as many templates as you need.

To load configuration settings from a template into the DSU you must perform the following steps:

1. Select Load Template from the File menu and select the template from the resultingdialog window. The application retrieves the configuration settings of the selected templat

2. Select Save to Unit from the File menu. The application makes the template configuration settings the current operating configuration for the unit.

Configuration Procedure

The following steps describe how to use the configuration application, and illustrate the functions of the Main Configuration window menus.

1. Access the Main Configuration window, either from the submap or from the Front Panel display. The application reads the current main configuration from the unit whenopen the main window.

You can select to base your configuration changes on either the current configuration or stored configuration template. In either case, the unit continues to operate using its unchangcurrent configuration.

The Refresh selection on the main window File menu causes the application to read thcurrent configuration from the unit. All changes to all configuration windows that have nopreviously been saved to the unit or to a template are lost when you select Refresh .

2. To edit the current configuration of the unit, proceed directly to the Navigate menu as described below.

h

To edit a template, select Load Template from the File menu and select a template from the resulting list.

3. Click on the Navigate button to display a menu of the configuration windows, and select the one in which you intend to make changes.

4. Make changes as needed in the configuration window. When you click on the input field for an option, a window opens to display all the values the field can be set to. Click the mouse on the value you select. When you change the value or setting of an option, the applicdisplays the option name and the new value in white, rather than black, type. They remain white until you either save the changes to the unit or a template by means of the Main window File menu, or restore the option to its last stored value or setting.

You can discard changes to a configuration window and return all its fields to their stored val-ues in two ways:

• Click on the Reset button to discard changes while keeping the window open

• Click on the Cancel button to discard changes and close the window.

You can close a configuration window without losing changes by clicking on either the OK button or the push-pin glyph, which is located in the upper left corner of the window.

You can keep multiple configuration windows open on-screen and move between them byclicking the mouse on the one in which you intend to operate. The main configuration win-dow remains on-screen throughout the configuration process.

5. When you have accessed all the configuration windows that you need to and made all of your changes, click on the File menu button of the Main Configuration window. From that menu you can select Save to Unit to save the new configuration in the unit, oselect Save to Template to save it as a template in the workstation.

6. When you select Save to Unit, the changed configuration becomes the current configuration for the DSU you are configuring.

7. When you select Save to Template , a window appears containing a list of existing templates and a field for entering a new template name. You can select an existing template to be overwritten with the new configuration, or enter a name to create a new templatestored template is available to be loaded by the application and then saved, with or wifurther modification, to any unit of the same type.

Configuration Option Va lues

When you click the mouse on the entry field for a configuration item, a window opens containingall the values that are permitted for that configuration item. Hold down the mouse button until thehighlight is on the value you intend to configure, then release the button. The newly selected valueappears in the entry field for the configuration item.

Main Configuration WindowThe Main Configuration window (Figure 3-1) has two pull down menus, File and Navigate , that are the means by which you carry out the actual process of configuring the selected unit. From the Navigate menu you select the individual configuration windows in whicyou make changes. The File menu commands the storage and retrieval of configuration settings.

Chapter 5 Diagnostics

OverviewThe Diagnose menu provides access to the Team 700 Diagnostic screen, which provides the command and results display functions for all tests you can perform on the DSU by means of the TEAM application. The diagnostics window displays the results of the most recent test until begin another one. 700 Diagnostics is launched from the Shelf Map Fault Menu . The application is made up of one main window and a transient window, giving you testing histowhich is called the Diagnostics History screen. It is accessible from the main Diagnostics window and displays the results of all tests performed during the current session.

The tests you can do from the Diagnostics window divided in two categories: Master Tests and Master-Remote Tests . When using the diagnostic functions you should have the 700 DSU Installation and Operation Manual available as a reference.

Diagnostics WindowThe Diagnostics window (Figure 5-1) is broken down into different areas. The menu has foperations, navigation through subordinate screens, and basic help, identified as File , Navigate , and Help. The only selection in the file menu is Exit for dismissing the application.The only selection in the Navigate menu is History , which causes the application to display the Diagnostics History window (Figure 5-1) holding the results of all tests done during thecurrent session.

Diagnostic test fields, test control buttons, graphic displays (test diagrams), test results, andmessages make up the main part of the window. Status reports or messages give the viewer up-to-date data on the application.

The Self Test pattern internal to the 700 units is always a 215 pattern.

E1 Line Loopback

T1 Line Loopback

When the E1 (T1) line loopback is connected, the data signal received from the local E1 (T1) interface is returned to the transmit line interface; the framing portion of the T1 interface is regenerated by the unit. Thereforeduring normal operation the local equipment should receive its own signwithout errors. Local transmit signal is sent to the remote 700 system, how-ever, the signal received from the remote 700 system is lost. Line loopback is generally used to test connections between local equipment and the system module.

E1 Line Loopback applies only to E1 units and T1 line loopback applies only to T1 units.

T1 Payload Loop-back

The data portion (payload) of the T1 interface is returned to the data portion of the T1 transmit; the framing portion of the T1 interface is regenerated bythe unit.

ChannelLoopback

Activates a DTE loopback at the DTE interface of the master unit. Applies only if neither an E1 unit nor a T1 unit (for SC710D2 only).

Master-Remote Tests

Pertains to All = E1, T1, and DTE; or just DTE.

Select Remote Selects the remote number to be used for the test.

None No master-remote test selected.

Local Self Test (All) Activates the test pattern generator and checker in the local (master) unit. The test pattern is transmitted onto the 700 link, then checked for errors when it is received back. The user is responsible for establishing the loop-back - either physical or electronic - that returns the test pattern to its sour

Master to Remote Self Test

(All) Activates test pattern generators and checkers in both the mater unit and the selected remote unit. Each unit receives the test pat-tern transmitted by the other over the 700 link and checks it for errors.

RemoteLoopback

(All) When the remote line loopback is connected, the data received by the remote module from the local is returned by the 700 system module on thereceive path, within the remote’s equipment interface. Therefore, duringnormal operation the local equipment should receive its own signal withoerrors. The local transmit signal is passed to the remote equipment conneed to the 700 system, however, the signal transmitted by the remote is

Remote line loopback is generally used to test the proper operation of the 700 link end-to-end, and therefore should be used after normal operation is obtained while the remote 700 loopback is connected.

Self Test with Re-mote Loopback

(All) Activates the test pattern generator and checker in the master unit and places the selected remote in Line Loopback.

Local Loopback (DTE) Applies only to the 710 (channel loopback on remote unit), which is not supported.

Self Test withLocal Loopback

(DTE) Applies only to the 710 (channel loopback on remote unit), which is not supported.

Test InstructionsDo the following steps to carry out test:

1. If you are going to perform Line Loopback or Payload Loopback test make the nec-essary arrangements with the remote site. Arrangements may involve contacting remopersonnel or network management control of the remote DSU. You might have to arrange for loopback initiation or test signal generation, coordinating with a Line or Payload Loopback .

2. Select the test to be done by clicking on the check box to the left of its name.

3. Click on the Start Test button. The data path display panel exhibits the path for the test you have selected, the Test Status field changes from Idle to the test name.

4. If you are running a Self Test , the Reset Bit Errors button is available while the testruns. The reset button returns the error count to zero. The Stop Test button is available during any test.

While running a test, the application displays the results in the Test Results window area.

Test Results Description

Test Status Displays test currently running or idle.

Test Interval Displays test intervals for any given test.

Status Used for BER test to shown In-Sync or Out-of-Sync . Results are displayed until the be-ginning of the next test.

Bit Error Rate Displays the bit error rate for any self test.

Bit Errors Displays the bit error for any self test.

Status Message Area

The status message area presents messages which advise you application activity and unit inter-action. Examples might be: waiting for response form unit, initialization messages, and commu-nication errors.

The Team 700 application polls the DSU every 35 seconds while the Di-agnostics window is open. In order to reduce unnecessary LAN traffic, the Diagnostics window should be closed when it is not in use. NOTE
