CHAPTER-1 INTRODUCTION

This chapter describes the use of NGEMS (Next Generation Element Management System) interface to manage V5 Access Gateway(V5AG) it provides the use of NGEMS to create AI related data, subscriber and commands used to manage day to day activity related to V5AG. NGEMS is a centralized system to control and monitor the operations of one or more types of network elements of MAX-NG network. Commands being used in day to day activities for the management of AI interface and subscriber are explained in detail.

ACCESSING NGEMS

For performing operations related to V5 interface Logging into NGEMS. Open Firefox browser and Enter IP address with port number 9090. For example, 10.187.1.41:9090 As shown in Fig-1. Login Page will be displayed after this, enter Login Details and click login button, see fig-2.

Fig-4

After the configuration is loaded a window will open showing different options in the left pane of the window as shown in fig-5. Under network maps zone will be displayed, on selecting to particular zone, its access and core node can be displayed. On selecting access its nodes such as CACU and LAGU of the circle will get displayed to super user, while other user will get access to their SDCA nodes.

Fig-5

On selecting the network maps and corresponding Zone select the access device. In access option, State Names will be displayed which are parented to Core network in which NGEMS server are operational. For example, PUNJAB, HIMACHAL PRADESH, etc. are displayed. All discovered nodes i.e. CACU, LAGU are displayed. When user will login with SDCA specific username then specific state will be enabled and all other states will be in disabled state. Therefore, user can perform operations of specific SDCA only.

Fig-6

For performing operations on V5AG select the CACU chassis icon, right click and select chassis view, the chassis view of the corresponding CACU will be open showing all the cards present in the chassis and there status.

Green color indicates presence of cards in respective slots and red indicates absence of cards. At bottom of the chassis status of the fans are displayed see fig-7.

Fig-7

In the figure above a CACU chassis is shown in which first two slot are for self manager (SLM) card which are used in active-standby mode and are used to manage CACU and report alarms to EMS. Shelf Manager card register the IP address range allocated to the CACU Chassis along with the netmask, gateway-address and broadcast address. It discovers the card type i.e. NGTJ or EBM or MLS present in the CACU chassis. Two NGTJ cards are used for V5, PRI and MG-SG application each NGTJ can be configured as V5, PRI or MG-SG application or all the application can be configured in a single NGTJ card. NJTJ card have 32 E1s which can be configured for any of the required application.

EBM card which is a media converter can be jacked-in the 5th and 6th slot. These cards terminate the E1 links carrying the Ethernet traffic from the remote exchanges of MBM which will now be converted to Remote LAGU. There are two variants of EBM cards i.e. EBM-16 with 16 E1 termination capacity for the MBM upto 8 RSUs and in case of more than 8 RSUs we need to install EBM-32, which has 32 E1 termination capacity. There is a FAN tray at the bottom of CACU chassis housing four FANs for cooling the chassis and a temperature sensor card with digital temperature sensor at the top of the CACU Chassis.

CHAPTER-2 PORT CONFIGURATION

The NGTJ card being used in the CACU chassis can be used as V5AG, PRIAG and MG or all these application can be run in the single NGTJ card. NGTJ card have a provision of 32 E1 which needs to be configured for the application it is being used. In order to create V5 interface first configure the PCM for V5 which will be used for creating V5 interface. Right click on the NGTJ card select “equip port” from the list give the port number and port type to configure the port. See fig-8 and fig-9
