ETHERNET CABLE CONNECTIONS
Part numbers are assigned for unshielded, straight-through CAT5 UTP (PN 3AL48960AA-AL) and CAT5E UTP (PN 3AL15052AA-AL) cables. The CAT5 or CAT5E cables can be used for 10/100/ 1000BASE-T applications, however the CT5E cable is the recommended cable for 1000BASE-T applications. The CAT5E cable has a tighter, higher quality twisting on the wire pairs and is less susceptible to crosstalk. Refer to Table 3 - 3 and Table 3 - 4 for pinout. See Figure 3 - 6 for pair wire colors. See Figure 3 - 7 and Figure 3 - 8 for interconnect information. 3.4.1 Automatic MDI/MDI-X Configuration
The Ethernet PHY provides automatic Medium Dependent Interface (MDD/Medium Independent Interface-crossover (MDI-X). Automatic MDI/MDI-X configuration eliminates the need for crossover cables. 3.4.2 Crossover Cable Option
Crossover type cables with pin 1 wired to pin 3 and pin 2 wired to pin 6 can be used, but are not necessary. Crossover is automatically performed by the Core Card, resulting in a straightthrough interface to the link partner. Table 3 - 3 10/100BASE-T Ethernet Connector Pinout

The 9500 MPR application software offers user password security management using four different levels of passwords. User security deals with access level assigned to specific users. The level of user security affects the type and number of commands an individual user may execute. This prevents an unqualified users access to high-level commands. There are four user profiles defined for NMS systems.

Administrator (full access also for NMS local system security parameters) Constructor (person in charge for network design; full access to NEs but not for security parameters and backup/restore feature) Operator (access to network only; No access to radio) Viewer (view screens only)
At the NE installation time, two default user accounts are created on NE independently from the SNMP operating mode.

There are three methods available to access the NE CT screens, based on the status of the NE configuration tables that identify the NE in the system. If the NE is already listed in the NE Table as part of the system, a simple procedure (Startup WebEML From An Existing Configuration) allows this information to be downloaded to the NE Configuration screen. If the system is new or the NE is being added to an existing system, the Startup WebEML With A New Configuration method can be used to create a new table or add a new NE to the table. The Manual WebEML Startup method can be used anytime to access the NE. This entails writing in the NE information in the fields on the NE Configuration screen. Manual WebEML Startup is shown here.

Note
When the Mode is changed from Presetting to Adaptive Modulation, the radio defaults to 14 MHz bandwidth at 4 QAM. If the capacity of the radio (number of E1 lines cross connected) exceeds the available capacity of a 14 MHz Channel at 4 QAM, Adaptive Modulation will not enable. It may be necessary to perform one of the following provisioning changes:

4.6.3
Provision Synchronization
All 9500 MPR radios in the network must be synchronized to the same clock. One radio in the network is provisioned Master. All other radios in the network must be provisioned Slave. The slave radios all sync to the clock provided by the master. 4.6.3.1 Normal Operation
During normal operation, the master can be provisioned to get sync clock from two separate sources: an internal local oscillator (most common source) or external clock from customer provided equipment. The slave radios can be provisioned to receive the sync clock from one of two sources: clock recovered by the radio receiver or the sync clock from another radio in the network. Normally at a repeater, the sync clock is received over the RF path and recovered by the radio receiver. A typical slave terminal uses the clock from an adjacent radio. See Figure 4 13 for typical master terminal provisioning. See Figure 4 - 13 for typical slave terminal provisioning. 4.6.3.2 Failed Primary Operation
With the exception of the master when the radio is provisioned to sync off the local oscillator, the provisioned secondary sync source is enabled if the primary source fails. When the master, provisioned to accept sync clock at the core from an external source, fails, the internal free-running local oscillator is enabled. Provisioning choices for the secondary source for slave radios are dependent upon the choices made from the primary source. 4.6.3.3 Sync Switching
With the exception of the master when the radio is provisioned to sync off the local oscillator, the sync clock source is switched from primary to secondary if the primary source fails. Sync clock switching provisioning is dependent on the role of the radio in the network (master or slave) and on user preference. A revertive switching feature is a provisioning option that restores the sync clock to the original source when the alarm on the primary source is cleared. If revertive switching is not selected, the secondary sync source will continue to provide sync clock, and if the secondary source fails, must be manually switched to the primary source.

MAINTENANCE
INTRODUCTION
This section contains information and procedures to aid in restoring the equipment to its proper operating condition after it has been determined that a problem exists. The following warnings and cautions apply while operating, performance testing, troubleshooting, or repairing the 9500 MPR series radios.
DANGER
Possibility of Injury to Personnel
Short circuits in low-voltage, low-impedance dc circuits can cause severe arcing that may result in burns or eye injury. Remove rings, watches, and other metal jewelry while working with primary circuits. Exercise caution to avoid shorting power input terminals.
CAUTION
Units with the electrostatic-sensitive (ESS) symbol contain ESS devices. Store these units in an antistatic container when not in use, and anyone handling a unit should observe antistatic precautions. Refer to the Special Precautions pages in the front of the instruction book for detailed handling information.
Note
Ensure that all antennas are properly aligned and waveguide is in good physical condition.
Note
Before performing procedures that might in any way affect transmission, it is recommended that the person performing the procedure understand the FCC Rules and Regulations pertaining to the equipment and be properly authorized to operate the equipment.

MAINTENANCE PHILOSOPHY
This section provides information and procedures for equipment maintenance down to the Card level. Card repair is not covered in this manual. The use of maintenance procedures in this section may result from failure of a periodic check, an alarm indication, or unacceptable performance. 5.3 PERSONAL COMPUTER (PC)/LAPTOP
Connect the RJ 45 Interface cable between Craft Terminal connector on the Core Card and the PC. 5.4 TROUBLESHOOTING
This section provides guidance on: Before Going to Site Checklist Troubleshooting Basics Troubleshooting Path Problems Troubleshooting Configuration Problems Troubleshooting Ethernet Problems Troubleshooting TMN Problems Before Going to Site Checklist
5.4.1
Where possible, before going to site obtain the following information: Does the fault require immediate attention? Determine who is the best-placed person to attend the fault. Confirm the nature and severity of the reported fault, its location, 9500 MPR type, frequency band, high/low end ODU, capacity modulation and configuration (nonprotected, protected, diversity). Ask: Is just one 9500 MPR link affected, or a number of links in the same geographical area? Is the path down completely or is traffic passing but with a BER alarm? Is only one or a number of tributaries affected? Could the fault be in the equipment connected to 9500 MPR, rather than in 9500 MPR? Are there alarms on other, connected equipment? Is it a hard or intermittent fault? Do alarms confirm which end of an alarmed link is faulty?
5-2
Could the weather (rain, ice, high wind, temperature) be a factor in the reported fault?
Note
If the fault suggests a rain fade or other weather related fade condition and it matches the prevailing weather conditions, do not take any action until the weather abates. Does link history suggest any fault trends? Does the fault history for the link indicate a likely cause? Is the 9500 MPR link newly installed? Has there been any recent work done on the link? Ensure that you have with you: Appropriate spares. Where an equipment failure is suspected, these should include replacement Cards/plug-ins and ODU. If an ODU is suspected then local/national climbing safety requirements must be adhered to. A laptop PC loaded with Craft Terminal, and an Ethernet cable. If an Ethernet connection is to be used, you need the 9500 MPR Node/Terminal IP address and also the addresses for any remote sites to be accessed. If login security has been enabled, you need the engineer password for the local and also any remote sites to be accessed. Any special test equipment that may be needed, such as a BER tester. Toolkit. Key(s) for access to the site. 5.4.2 Troubleshooting Basics
This section provides general guidance on 9500 MPR troubleshooting:

Check front-panel LED indications. These provide summary alarm indications, which can help narrow down the location and type of failure. Refer to Operation section for details.
Where a Status LED on a plug-in is off (unlit), but power to the MS is confirmed by LEDs on other plug-ins, check the seating of the affected plug-in.
Check Main Screen. When logging into 9500 MPR with Craft Terminal, the opening screen is the Main Screen. Use the information provided in menu Diagnosis -> Alarms -> NE alarms (par. 6.3.1) and in menu Diagnosis -> Log Browsing -> Event Log (par. 6.3.2) to check for severity and problem type. Refer to Table 5 - 1, Alarm Matrix, for probable cause and recommended action.

Check the basics first.
For example, if multiple alarms are present, and these include power supply voltage or hardware alarms, always check their cause before looking at resultant downstream path failure or path warning (signal) alarms. Similarly, if a path-related failure is indicated (no hardware or software alarms), investigate the path. Go to the Craft Terminal History screen (15 minute view) to check supporting data, such as low RSL and incidence of intermittent pre-failure BER alarms, which if present are evidence of a path-related failure. Refer to Para. 5.4.3 for more information.
Check if symptoms match the alarm. Alarms reflect the alarm state, but in exceptional circumstances an alarm may be raised because of a failure to communicate correctly with the alarm source, or a failure in alarm management processing. Always check to see if symptoms match the alarm, using LED indications and the Craft Terminal. Check if recent work may be a cause. Recent work at the site may be a cause or contributing factor. Check for a configuration change, software upgrade, power recycling (reboot), or other site work:
Many hardware alarms are only initiated as a loss-of-communications alarm during a reboot, software upgrade, or reconfiguration. By not being able to communicate with the Core, their settings cannot be loaded. The fault may be at the hardware device (most likely), communications to it, or the Core. Hardware/software compatibility alarms will be raised when a new plug-in is installed that needs a later version of 9500 MPR software. Hardware incompatible alarms will be raised when a plug-in is installed in a slot that has been configured for a different plug-in.
5-7
MSS before an ODU. If there is doubt about whether a fault is in the MSS or ODU, always replace the MSS first; it is quicker and easier. Hot-pluggable. MSS cards are hot-pluggable. There is no need to power-down before replacing, but traffic will be lost unless the plug-in is protected. Plug-in restoration time. Ensure adequate time is allowed for services to resume when a plug-in is replaced.
5.4.3
Troubleshooting Path Problems
A path-related problem, with the exception of interference, is characterized by traffic being similarly affected in both directions. Generally, if you are experiencing only a one-way problem, it is not a path problem.
Note
A path extends from ODU antenna port to ODU antenna port. 5.4.3.1 Normally a path problem is signalled by a reduced RSL, and depending on its severity, a high BER. Only in worst case situations, such as an antenna knocked out of alignment, will a path fail completely, and stay that way. For weather-related problems, such as rain or ducting, the path problem will disappear as the weather returns to normal.
Path Problems on a Commissioned Link
A path problem on an existing link, one that has ben operating satisfactorily may be caused by:
Weather-related path degradation
If BER alarms are fleeting/not permanent and RSL returns to its normal, commissioned level after the alarm is cleared, rain, diffraction, or multipath fading is indicated. Rain fade is the likely cause of fade for links 13 GHz and higher. Diffraction and multipath/ducting for links 11 GHz and lower. If these alarms are persistent, there could be a problem with the link design or original installation.
Changed antenna alignment or antenna feed problem
If RSLs do not return to commissioned levels after a period of exceptionally strong winds, suspect antenna alignment. Also, check the antenna for physical damage, such as may occur with ice-fall. For a remote-mounted ODU, check its antenna feeder.
New path obstruction
Where all other parameters check as normal, and the path has potential for it to be obstructed by construction works, view/survey the path for possible new obstructions.
5-8
Interference from other signal sources
Interference usually affects traffic in just one direction. Unlike other path problems, RSL is not affected. If suspected, check for new link installations at, or in the same geographical area, as the affected site. Ultimately, a spectrum analyzer may have to be used to confirm interference, which is not an easy task given the need to connect directly to the antenna port, after removing the ODU. 5.4.3.2 Path Problems on a New Link
For a new link, potential problems can extend to also include:

Incorrect antenna alignment
One or both antennas incorrectly aligned. Refer to Installation alignment procedure on CD.
Mismatching antenna polarizations
Given a typical polarization discrimination of 30 dB, for most links it is not possible to capture a signal to begin the antenna alignment process.
Incorrect path calculations
If the RSLs are too low or too high, antenna alignment is correct, and Tx power settings are correct, check the path calculations used to determine the link performance. A good calculation match is +/- 2dB. Disagreements in excess of 3 dB should be investigated.
Reflections
Reflection (path cancellation) problems may not have been picked up at the path planning stage, particularly if the survey was a simple line-of-sight. If suspected, resurvey the path. 5.4.4 Troubleshooting Configuration Problems
Configuration problems should only occur during the setup of a new link, or reconfiguration of an existing link. The more common problems may be broadly categorized as:
Compatibility Problems
The two alarms that may activate are Configuration Not Supported and SW/HW Incompatible:
Configuration Not Supported: The plug-in installed is not enabled or is incorrect for the configuration. SW/HW Incompatible: Typically raised when new hardware is plugged into an existing MSS that has software from an earlier release. To remove the alarm, compatible 9500 MPR software is required; install the latest software.
Incorrect circuit connections
5-9
No alarms are activated for incorrect circuit connections. An incorrect assignment means the expected end-to-end circuit connectivity will not happen. Re-check circuit assignments for all nodes carrying the lost circuit(s). Take extra care when configuring ring circuits. Incorrect ID naming and commissioning All traffic-carrying circuits must have a unique flow ID for the cross-connect capability to operate. Incorrect/incompatible trib settings Trib line interface settings incorrect, or line levels incompatible. While no alarm activates for an incorrect setting, its effect may result in line levels being too low (LOS alarm), or too high, resulting in a high BER. 5.4.5 Troubleshooting Ethernet Problems
This section gives general guidance on troubleshooting problems related to the four Ethernet ports on the Core Card. The most common Ethernet problems are network and connectivity related and therefore always check the following first: Verify link partner capability, provisioning, and connection Verify radio provisioning matches link partner Verify cabling between radio and link partner
The LEDs on the Core Card front panel for each Ethernet connector are a good indicator of correct connectivity and activity on the Ethernet port. Refer to Table 5 - 2 for detail troubleshooting using the LEDs locally at the alarmed site.
5-10
Table 5 - 2 Troubleshooting Ethernet Problems

ETH IN LOS
Indication
Green LED Not Lit
Probable Cause
Loss of Ethernet RCV/radio XMT signal in. Most probable causes: 1. Cable between link partner and radio is disconnected/broken. 2. Speed/Mode provisioning mismatch between link partner and radio
Corrective Action
Connect/repair cable. 1. Check local Ethernet provisioning screen. 2. Check link partner provisioning.
ETH OUT LOS
Green LED Not Lit
Loss of Ethernet XMT/radio RCV signal out. Most probable causes: 1. Loss of RF input to Radio Modem Card Check local RSL screen on CT. Is RSL ok? Yes - Check farend for Ethernet alarm. No - Check farend Tx output. Is farend Tx Out ok? Yes - Check path, antenna, waveguide/ cabling No - Check/replace farend Radio Modem Card. Check farend for Ethernet alarms. Are any alarms indicated? Yes - Troubleshoot farend alarms No - Check farend Ethernet status. Is only abnormal status indicated? Yes - Troubleshoot farend Ethernet status. No 1. Replace local alarmed Core Card. 2. Replace local Radio Modem Card.
2. Loss of Ethernet input to Radio Modem Card
In order for the green Link LED to light: 1 2 3 Cable must be connected to Ethernet port Ethernet port must be enabled (provisioned Enabled on Core Settings Screen) Speed and mode (on Core Settings Screen) must be provisioned the same as the link partner.
The yellow LED opposite the green on the connector indicates activity only. The flashing yellow LED is not an indicator of signal type or quality.
5-11
5.4.6
Troubleshooting TMN Problems
This section gives general guidance on troubleshooting TMN problems related to Ethernet port 4 on the Core Card. Ethernet port 4 on the Core Card can be used to transport SNMP IP data. Troubleshoot port 4 connectivity alarms the same as Ethernet ports 1-3. Refer to Para. 5.4.5. The most common TMN problems are network related and first alert is normally observed by improper operation at the SNMP master. Always check the following first: Verify master is properly registered in NE to receive traps. Verify SNMP version matches system requirements Verify correct community string and privileges Verify proper network routing.
Refer to Table 5 - 1 for detail TMN network troubleshooting.
5-12
Table 5 - 1 TMN Network Troubleshooting

Problem
Unusually slow communication in radio network
Possible Cause 1. Normal network management traffic is saturating the communications channel.
Possible Solution 1. There may be too many radios being managed within a single region. Split the radio network management into different regions and backhaul the traffic for each region through separate channels. 2. Poll the radios more slowly. 3. Download to fewer radios at a time. 4 Configure external routers to allow only network management related traffic through the Management network of the radios. Dynamic route updates (OSPF, RIP) may attempt to reroute high speed traffic through the TMN network if a high speed ink fails. Register the Manager as a craft device. Manager registration type can be changed as needed to type ct to allow control operation and then be changed back to nml for normal operation. 1. Use the correct community string. 2. Use the correct write community string. 1. Register Manager with NE. 2. Check network connectivity. Check redundant network paths and routing. Traceroute (tracert) is useful for locating path or routing faults. Use traceroute (tracert) to help locate for communication path or routing problems.
Verify community string or username/ passphrase.
2. Polling radios for PM data or missed alarms too rapidly 3. Multiple remote software downloads in process 4. IP traffic other than network management traffic being routed through radio network
Unable to operate controls using SNMP
To perform control operations, the Manager must be registered as a craft device.
Can Read SNMP objects but cannot Write to SNMP objects
1. Incorrect community string
No traps being received from NE
2. If the TMN Interface is configured for SNMPv2, the write community string is probably wrong. 1. Manager not registered in NE to receive traps 2. Communication failure in network
Unable to communicate with the NE through the radio network (unable to ping the NE). Can ping the TMN Interface but cannot communicate with the NE using SNMP, or can only see a few SNMP objects in the NE.
Possible communication path failure or routing failure within the radio network. If using SNMPv2, using the wrong community string.

5.5
CARD REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT
The basic rules for installing plug-in cards are as follows:
WARNING
Never install, change or remove a card without first connecting to the shelf with an ESD grounding cable. Failure to do so may cause ESD damage to the cards.
WARNING
Plug-ins must be withdrawn and inserted using their fingergrip fastener/pulls. Never withdraw or insert using attached cable(s). Pulling on the cables may damage the cable, plug-in connector, and/or plug-in card connector attachment.
WARNING
When installing a plug-in, ensure its backplane connector is correctly engaged before applying sufficient pressure to bring the plug-in panel flush with the front panel. Improper alignment can result in damaged pins on the backplane connector and/or damage to the plug-in connector.
CAUTION
All slots must be filled with either a peripheral plug-in card or a blank panel. Failure to do so will compromise EMC integrity and cooling air from the fan.
5-14
CAUTION
Use extreme caution when connecting or disconnecting the ODU cable on the Radio Modem Card. The shelf battery voltage is present on the center conductor of the connector. When removing or replacing a Radio Modem Card, withdraw the card from the shelf before disconnecting the cable to the ODU. Failure to follow these cautions may cause arcing and/or possible power spikes that could affect traffic on other links installed at the node.
CAUTION
Removing an in-service card in an unprotected link will cause loss of traffic. Removing an in-service card in a protected link requires switching the traffic onto the standby (protection) channel. The main Core Card, standby Core Card, and fan card have dedicated slots. The E1 Access Card and Radio Modem Cards (peripherals) can be installed in any of the universal slots (3 through 8). The MSS-8 can be configured with a maximum of six peripherals; three protected links, six non-protected links, or a combination of protected and non-protected links. For protected links, main and standby (spare) peripherals must be plugged in sideby-side. All plug-ins can be removed and installed with power applied.
CAUTION
If the main Core Card fails, traffic and platform data will switch to the spare Core Card automatically. Do not remove power from the NE during the removal and replacement of the failed main Core Card without first reviewing/performing the following procedure: a. Turn off NE power. b. Remove failed main Core Card.
5-15
c.
Turn on NE power.
d. Wait two (2) minutes. e. Install replacement Core Card.
5.5.1
Core Card Removal and Replacement Core Protected Radio
CAUTION
If the Main Core Card in slot 1 fails, traffic/services protection and control platform protection switches to the spare Core Card in slot 2. Loopbacks and all other manual operations, such as manual switch, tx mute, will be lost (deactivated). Alarms previously active will be newly detected and reported via notification, with a new time stamp. Verify the replacement Core Card meets the following compatibility rules: Main Core Card (in slot 1) and Spare Core Card (in slot 2) must be the same type. Local and far end Core Cards must use the same software version, but do not have to be the same type.
5.5.2
Core Flash Card Removal and Replacement

Cross-Connecting Rules and Guidelines Cross-Connecting E1 Lines
The following rules and guidelines apply to switching E1 ports 1 through 32 on the E1 Access Card through the Core Card to the Radio Modem Card: 1 The license key installed on the Core Card determines the number of E1 ports that can be cross-connected. 2 The E1 access Card (E1 source) and Radio Modem Card (destination) must be Enabled on the respective card provisioning screens. 3 Each E1 port to be cross-connected must be Enabled on the E1 provisioning screen. 4 Each E1 port to be cross-connected must have a Flow ID number assigned to it on the E1 provisioning screen. Refer to Flow ID number rules. 5 The Flow ID number check box on the cross-connect screen must be checked for each E1 port to be cross-connected. 6.2.2.2 Flow ID Number Rules
The Flow ID number entered by the operator on the E1 provisioning screen is one of the parameters the software management uses to determine source, destination, and direction of the E1 port when the data is switched in the Core Card. The following rules apply to the Flow ID: 1 Number is unique to the entire network. It cannot be used in any other radio or hop in the network. 6.2.2.3 Cross-Connecting Ethernet to E1 Access card 1 The license key installed on the Core Card determines the capacity of the Ethernet data that can be cross-connected. 2 The Ethernet port (source) and E1 Access Card (destination) must be Enabled on the respective Core Card and E1 Access Card provisioning screens. 3 The E1 Access Card port to be cross-connected must have a Flow ID number assigned to it on the E1 Access Card provisioning screen. Refer to the Flow ID Number rules. 4 The Flow ID number check box on the cross-connect screen must be checked for each Ethernet port to be cross-connected.

Alarms Monitor is an application which allows to display and store the alarms of all the NEs requiring it. (Alarms Monitor can be also started clicking on the Alarms Monitor key of NETO).
6-17
On the left side of the application, below each NE, two global lists of alarms are displayed: CURRENT_ALARM shows all the equipment alarms currently present, ALARM_LOG shows all the equipment alarms currently present and the history of the alarms (i.e. cleared alarms).
Note
When an alarm is no longer active it disappears from the two global lists and it is displayed in the ALARM_LOG list as a cleared alarm. Each global list has some default filters (5 filters for the CURRENT_ALARM list and 8 filters for the ALARM_LOG list), as follows: 1 2 3 4 5 6 CRI contains all the alarms having a CRITICAL severity MAJ contains all the alarms having a MAJOR severity MIN contains all the alarms having a MINOR severity WRG contains all the alarms having a WARNING severity IND contains all the alarms having an INDETERMINATE severity CLR contains all the alarms which are in the CLEARED state, that is, which are no longer active (this filter is available within the list ALARM_LOG only).
For each list and for each filter, the number of active alarms is shown inside brackets. These two lists can be filtered using customized filters provided by means of the menu Filters > Add a Filter Double clicking on a filter or on a global list on the left part of the screen shows up on the right side the relevant tab panel with all the active alarms.
Note
when the application is opened for the first time, only the tab-panels of the two global lists are displayed on the right part of the window. At the top right, the field Synthesis shows the number of not-active alarms for any severity. The alarms have a different color according to their severity and their state. Red: CRITICAL alarm Brown: MAJOR alarm Yellow: MINOR alarm
6-18
Blue: WARNIG alarm White: INDETERMINATE alarm (Note that the equipment has no alarm having such severity) Green: CLEARED alarm (alarm no longer active).

See Figure 6 - 5 for the Access State Menu
Figure 6 - 5 Access State Menu The NE can be managed by the Operating System (OS) or by the Craft Terminal (CT). The selection of the NE manager is controlled by the Local Access Control (LAC) function. The OS manages the NE until a request to manage from the Craft Terminal is received (via LAC) and granted. The request is initiated by the user clicking on the Requested button on the menu and then answering yes to the resulting confirmation message. The LAC request can be denied by the OS (if for example the OS is in a state of recovery from a temporary loss of communication with the NE). The request to manage starts a timer. If the OS doesnt answer a CT request to manage in a predefined time, the CT automatically becomes the NE manager. The predefined time is set by the user on the LAC Time Out Period screen (See Figure 6 - 6). The manager currently managing the NE is indicated on the Craft Terminal screen by the shape of the icon with the key symbol.

NETWORK ELEMENT OVERVIEW
The Network Element Overview (NETO) is the starting point of the CT application. NETO functions require to know the NE identity by means of the related IP Address. Only one NE cn be managed in a NETO session. User Interface is provided by the NETO Main View described below.
B.1
MAIN VIEW
When NETO starts, the main view screen is shown in Figure B - 1.
Figure B - 1 NETO main view: initial screen This screen has two specific areas: NE Configuration area: displays NE general information (left side); Status & Alarms area: reports supervision status and alarms (right side).
"Show" and "Alarm Monitor" buttons are enabled when a NE is supervised only. Supervision starts as soon as the operator writes an IP address in the specific field and press the "OK" button. NETO Main view can also be minimized by using the shrink glass ( ) button in the Menu Bar.
Figure B - 2 shows the reduced NETO view, allowing the operator to save screen space while continuously checking supervision and alarms status. Gray icons mean that supervision is not active. The magnifying glass ( Figure B - 1). ) button allows to show the normal NETO main view (see
The alarm severity icon (shown in Figure B - 1 and Figure B - 2) appears in operating system "tray bar", close to system clock and other system software icons.
B-1
Figure B - 2 NETO main view: reduced screen This icon also has a specific tooltip, visible when mouse cursor is moved over it, that will show: name of application, NE IP address, and highest severity alarms number. Tray-bar icon is not interactive and does not present any menu or executable command if clicked either with left or right mouse button.
B.2
NE CONFIGURATION AREA
The panel is divided in three sections:

1 2 3
NE Info section, containing information related to NE addressing; NE Description section, with information about NE characteristics; Command Buttons section, providing buttons to manage NETO functions.
B.2.1

STATUS & ALARMS AREA
Information on supervision status and active alarms are shown in this area (Figure B - 6).
Figure B - 6 Main View: Status & Alarms Round-shaped icons change their colours according to current NETO functions and situation. With respect to "Supervision" status: green colour means that supervision function is ongoing, red colour means that NE link does not work, gray icons mean that supervision is not active (to be started).
Alarm synthesis contains the list of the alarms listed by severity: whether an icon is not gray, means that such kind of severity contains one alarm at least. "Alarm Monitor" button shown in Figure B - 5 opens the Alarm Monitor application external tool.
B.4
SUPERVISION FUNCTION
The supervision function allows operator registering a new manager inside NE MIB and performing cyclic (periodic) monitoring on connection. To start supervision, the operator must specify NE IP address in the "IP Address" field and then simply press "OK" button. If supervision succeeds, screen is updated with information retrieved from NE and supervision icon changes its colour from gray to green stating NE is correctly supervised. When a supervision error, a link down or other problems arise during supervision, icon will become red. Alarm Synthesis area will be updated as well. Clicking on "Show" button, NETO will open the WebEML (JUSM/CT) for MPR equipment. To close an ongoing supervision, simply click on "Exit" button (this will also close NETO) or change NE IP address and click "OK" button to start supervision procedure on a different NE (this will stop previous supervision).

MENU BAR (New) (Open)
NETO can manage and organize a list of available NEs by showing operator a table containing such data. Using both (New) and window (see Figure B - 7). (Open) icons, the operator will be able to open NEs table modal
"Open" icon allows opening a previously saved file containing a list of NEs. "New" icon allows creating a new list, specifying the file name containing its data, only when those data will be saved. Window allows the operator managing its NEs data by: "Get Current" button is used to read information from main NETO view. This operation will always add a new line in NE list table with all information related to currently supervised NE. This happens even though a NE with corresponding IP address is still present in the list; "New" button, adding a new NE from scratch. This allows the operator to fill the "IP Address" field only with its needed NE. "Remove" button, removing a selected NE; "Set Current" button, filling main NETO view IP address with datum from selected NE. The operator must pre-viously select a valid line in NEs table and then click on "Set Current" button so filling NETO main win-dow data. This operation will automatically close the NE list window but does not start supervision on set NE; "Save" button, saving table list in a specified file.
All data are saved in a custom XML format called "NETO" and this structured file will contain all data shown in Figure B - 1 related to all NEs added to the list.

The operator can have its own NEs lists repository, containing all .NETO files that it produced with NEs information inside. To close this window click on "Close" button. The operator can see the data related to NEs as shown in Figure B - 7. As for NETO main window, even NE list window allows using keyboard and hotkeys to perform operations. Through: Keyboard shortcut "Alt + g" behaves as clicking on "Get Current" button with mouse; Keyboard shortcut "Alt + s" behaves as clicking on "Set Current" button with mouse; Keyboard shortcut "Alt + n" behaves as clicking on "New" button with mouse; Keyboard shortcut "Alt + r" behaves as clicking on "Remove" button with mouse; Keyboard shortcut "Alt + v" behaves as clicking on "Save" button with mouse; Keyboard shortcut "Alt + c" behaves as clicking on "Close" button with mouse. (Magnifying glass) NETO Main view can also be minimized by using the shrink glass ( ) button.
Suggested usage sequence for NETO interface and NE list

Fill NETO main view "IP Address" field with NE IP address; Start supervision by clicking "Ok" button; Open the NEs table (any method, through "New" or "Open" button); Click on "Get Current"; "Save" the list and "Close" the list window.
This operation will produce a clean and up-to-date NEs table list. The NE table lists are not updated, if the operator will modify, NE site name site location or even IP address. Such data are used for references purposes, but the operator must take care to keep them updated.
