Optimux-108 Ver. 6.1 RADview/TDM Optimux-108 Overview 1-1

Chapter 1

Introduction

This chapter provides an overview for managing Optimux-108 using the RADview/TDM management solution. It introduces the graphical user interface. It is assumed that you are familiar with basic RADview operations. For more information about basic RADview operations, refer to the RADview/TDM (PC) or (UNIX) User's Manual.

1.1 Optimux-108 Overview

Optimux-108 enables you to multiplex up to four E1 channels over an FO link. To multiplex E1 channels, you connect an Optimux-108 to each end of the FO link. With RADview/TDM management software, you use a single window to manage the Optimux-108 devices at both ends of the FO link.

For additional reliability, you can connect two redundant FO links between the two Optimux-108 devices. You can also connect two redundant power supplies to each device.

In a typical Optimux application, devices are set up in pairs. RADview/TDM manages Optimux devices in pairs only.

1.2 RADview/TDM Optimux-108 Overview

RADview provides a complete management solution for monitoring and controlling the Optimux-108 device. RADview solutions conform to ITU-T Telecommunication Management Network (TMN) recommendations for SNMP management systems, known as the FCAPS model:

• Fault management – detects and correlates fault in network devices, isolates faults, and initiates recovery actions (as described in Chapter 7).

• Configuration management – tracks configuration changes and configures, installs, and distributes software and configuration files across the network for all network devices (as described in Chapters 3).

• Accounting management – collects accounting data (as described in Chapter 5).

• Performance management – continuously monitors network performance (QoS, CoS) and resource allocation (as described in Chapter 5).

• Security management – controls and restricts access to network resources (as described in Chapter 6).

Chapter 1 Introduction User’s Manual

1-2 RADview/TDM Optimux-108 Overview Optimux-108 Ver. 6.1

The following are the management tasks for the Optimux-108:

• System level operations

• Device level operations

• Port level operations.

In addition to a brief description of the FCAPS model and chapters in the RADview manual, refer to Table 1-1 for mapping configuration tasks at the system, device, and port levels to the FCAPS model.

Table 1-1 lists the management tasks that are available when you select the entire system.

Chapter 2

Installation and Operation

This chapter identifies the steps required to setup and enable the Network Management Station. It also describes the RADview/TDM Optimux-108 graphic user interface (GUI).

2.1 Preconfiguring Optimux-108 for Management

Optimux-108 can be managed by any SNMP-based network management station, provided IP communication is possible with the management station.

To manage the Optimux-108 from a remote NMS, it is necessary to pre-configure the basic parameters using a supervision terminal connected to the Optimux-108 CONTROL port.

You can find detailed instructions on pre-configuring the Optimux-108 for management in the Optimux-108 Installation and Operation Manual.

In Chapter 3 of the Optimux-108 Installation and Operation Manual you will find the supervision terminal login procedure, and the preliminary configuration instructions to be performed by means of the supervision terminal.

2.2 Connecting Optimux-108 to a Management Station

Optimux-108 is usually connected to the LAN on which the NMS station is also attached.

To connect Optimux-108 to a network management station:

1. Connect a cable from one of the Ethernet switch or hub serving the management network to the MNG-ETH port of the Optimux-108.

2. After connecting the port to an active LAN, its LINK indicator lights. The ACT indicator of the port will flash, or appear to light steadily, in accordance with the traffic. Optimux-108 can now be managed by the NMS.

Chapter 2 Installation and Operation User’s Manual

2-2 Launching RADview for Optimux-108 Optimux-108 Ver. 6.1

2.3 Launching RADview for Optimux-108

For detailed instructions, refer to the RADview NMS User’s Manual.

To activate RADview:

• Select Programs > Network Manager > RADview 32.

After the RADview station is up and running, you can start the RADview agent application for any manageable RAD device. The desired device can be selected on the SNMP Management Console map (a typical map is shown below).

Figure 2-1. SNMP Management Console Screen, Typical Managed Subnet Map

To open the agent Zoom window, double-click the desired item, or right-click on the item and select Zoom on the object menu.

The status bar indicates if Optimux-108 is ready or currently polling the device.

Selecting the System

Before you can perform system operations, you must first select the system in the Optimux-108 window.

Optimux-108 window elements that may be selected include:

• Entire system

• Devices, local and remote

• Ports, including E1 channels, V.35, MNG-ETH, and USER-ETH

• Links

• All other areas that are not ports will represent the system and a frame around the panel will be displayed.

The default selection is the system.

To select the system:

• Click inside the Optimux-108 window without selecting a device. Ensure that no border surrounds any of the port or modem cards in the window.

A blue border outlines both the Local and Remote Optimux-108 devices, indicating that the whole system is selected.



Figure 2-10. Optimux-108 System Selected in the View Window

The main view includes the local device and the remote device.

Selecting Devices

Before you can perform device operations, you must first select a device in the Optimux-108 window.

To select a device:

• In the Optimux-108 window, click on a device to select it.

A blue border outlines the selected device, indicating it is selected.



Figure 2-11. Optimux-108 Local Device Selected

Selecting Ports

Before you can perform port operations, you must first select a port in the Optimux-108 window (see Selecting the System on page 2-6 for available Optimux-108 ports).

To select a port:

• In the Optimux-108 window, click a port to select it.

A blue border outlines the selected port, indicating it is selected.

Port Status Indicators

Operational status for ports is indicated by color within the port itself. The port status is color-coded in gray, magenta, or blue (see Figure 2-12). There is no indication for the Control and Alarm ports. Table 2-3 lists and describes the port status colors.

Note

5.1 Polling the Agents

The Poll Agent command causes Optimux-108 to poll the agents on the local and remote devices. Optimux-108 polls the agents to get the current status of the Optimux devices.

If you enable automatic polling, Optimux-108 automatically polls the agents every sixty minutes. You can also poll the agents manually using the Poll Agent command. If you disable automatic polling, you must use the Poll Agent command to poll the agents.

To poll the agents:


2. Select Configuration > Poll Agent.

The device immediately polls the agents.

5.2 Configuring Automatic Polling

The Polling (M) command allows you to enable or disable automatic polling. Optimux-108 polls the agents on the local and remote devices to get the current status of the devices. If you enable automatic polling, Optimux-108 polls the agents every sixty minutes. If you disable automatic polling, you must use the Poll Agent command to poll the agents manually.

6-4 Security Optimux-108 Ver. 6.1

6.3 Security

RADview/OV on UNIX supports the Security feature. Security defines different types of users: Administrator, Operator, Technician and Monitor.

Each user type has different access permission to Product's Application data. Some of them have RW access to all or part of the menus and dialog boxes; others have only RO access to part of the menus/dialog boxes. The menu looks the same for all users. If a user who has only RO access attempts to enter a dialog box, or to select a menu entry for which this user has no permission, or to press the Set button (or a similar RW one), a message box will be displayed, stating that the user has no access to the selected entry/dialog box/operation.

When a RW menu entry or a dialog box is allowed (to Set) for a Technician, the paragraph detailing this entry/dialog box will include (T) at the end.

When a RW menu entry or a dialog box is allowed (to Set) for a Monitor, the paragraph detailing this entry/dialog box will include (M) at the end. In this case, a Technician is also allowed to perform Set.

The Print and Refresh buttons are enabled for Monitor users.
