Logging In the U2000 Client

P-4

Log in the U2000 client to manage NEs by performing management operations on

the U2000 client.

Prerequisites

Before logging in the U2000 client, ensure that the following conditions are met:

The U2000 server is started.

The network communication between the U2000 client and U2000 server
is available.
The network communication between the U2000 server and GNE is
available.
The ports used between the U2000 client and U2000 server are not
blocked by the firewall.
The IP address of the client must be contained in the access control list
(ACL) that is configured on the U2000 server. The default ACL range is the
entire network segment. It is recommended that you set the ACL restriction
range based on the security requirements.

Legitimate U2000 user names and passwords have been allocated.

U2000 licenses have been correctly loaded to the server.

The OptiX OSN 9800 supports master-slave subrack management, which unifies the

management of multi-shelf NEs. The master-slave subrack mode saves IP resources and
displays multiple subracks as one NE on the iManager U2000.

The master subrack needs to be created and the slave subracks will be identified through
the master subrack.

The following Master-Slave subrack mode is available:

OptiX OSN 9800 U64 and OptiX OSN 9800 U64 subrack

OptiX OSN 9800 U32 and OptiX OSN 9800 U32 subrack

OptiX OSN 9800 U64 and OptiX OSN 9800 U32 subrack

The Master-Slave subrack mode is not available to OptiX OSN 9800 U64/U32 and OptiX
OSN 8800 T16 / OptiX OSN 6800.

Planning Principles of Master-Slave subrack mode for OptiX OSN 9800 U64/U32:

1+1 redundancy for the CTU board is recommended for the subrack.
The CTU boards in the master subrack and each slave subrack must be the same
software version.
The hub mode (in which one subrack functions as an NE) cannot be upgraded to
the master-slave mode without service interruption.
A slave subrack cannot be upgraded to the master subrack without service
interruption.

When the U2000 communicates properly with a GNE, you can search for all NEs that communicate with
the GNE by using the IP address of the GNE or the network segment to which the IP address is
associated. Then, you can create NEs in batches. This method is quicker and more accurate than manual
creation. Therefore, the method of creating NEs in batches is recommended.

Procedure on the U2000:

Step 1 Choose File > Discovery > NE... from the Main Menu. The NE Discovery window is
displayed.

Step 2 Select the Transport NE Search tab. Sets the Search Mode as Search for NE.

Step 3 In the Search Domain dialog box, there is a default search domain. If default search
domain is incorrect, click Add and the Input Search Domain dialog box is displayed.

Step 4 Set Address type to IP Address Range of GNE, IP Address of GNE, or NSAP
Address, and enter Search Address, User Name, and Password. Then, click OK.

Step 5 In the Search for NE dialog box, you can perform the following operations:
a. Select Search for NE and click Start Search to search for all NEs in the selected
domain.
b. Select Create NE after search, and enter NE user and Password. Then, click Start
Search.
c. Optional: Select Upload after create and click Start Search, so that the NE data can
be uploaded to the U2000 after the NE is created.

Step 6 Click Start Search, switch to the Auto Discovery interface.

Step 7 Optional: If you select Search for NE only, you can select the NEs, which are not yet
created, in the Result list after the search for NEs is complete. Click Create and then the
Create dialog box is displayed. Enter User Name and Password in the Create dialog box, and
then click OK.

The OptiX OSN 9800 product series include the OptiX OSN 9800 U64 and OptiX OSN

9800 U32. Applied at the electrical layer, the product series share boards by using unified
software and hardware platforms and can work with the OptiX OSN 8800 T16 and OptiX
OSN 6800 optical subracks in WDM and OTN systems.

The U2000 allocates the WDM equipment into different optical NEs for management. That
is to say, there are electrical subracks (for example, OSN 9800 U64/U32) and optical
subracks (for example, OSN 8800 T16/OSN 6800) in an optical NE. There are four types of
optical NEs. They are WDM_OADM, WDM_OEQ, WDM_OLA and WDM_OTM.

The ONE here can also be viewed as WDM station.

Procedure on the U2000:

Step 1 Right-click in the blank space of the Main Topology and choose New >
NE... from the shortcut menu.

Step 2 Select the optical NE type for the optical NE in the Add Object dialog box.

Step 3 In the Basic Attributes tab, set the attributes of the optical NE.

To ensure NE data security, only the users with NE user authority can log in to the NEs. An

NE user is able to perform operations on the NEs according to the assigned authority. The
U2000 administrator is advised to create NE users before configuring services. The default
NE user has the monitor level authority. To ensure NE data security, it is recommended that
you assign NE users with different authorities as required.

Procedure on the U2000:

Step 1 Choose Administration > NE Security Management > NE User

Management from the Main Menu.

Step 2 In the NE list on the left, select an NE.

Step 3 Click Add and the Add NE User dialog box is displayed.

Step 4 Enter the NE user name in the NE User field.

Step 5 Select the User Level as needed.

Step 6 In the NE User Flag field, select a user type according to the type of the
terminal through which the user logs in to the NE.
Step 7 Enter the password in the New Password field and enter it again in the
Confirm Password field.
Step 8 In the NE Name field, select the NEs that this NE user is allowed to
manage.

During a new deployment, after the root NE user creates the NE, this user can create

another NE user. You can log in to the NE with the new NE user name.

An NE user cannot log in to or manage an NE at the same time. After you use an NE user
to log in to an NE through a U2000 server, if you use the same NE user to log in to the
same NE through another U2000 server, the NE user is forced to log out from the first
U2000 server.

Procedure on the U2000:

Step 1 In the Main Topology view, choose Administration > NE Security

Management > NE Login Management from the Main Menu.

Step 2 Select an NE from the NE list to switch its user.

Step 3 Click Query to query the current NE user.

Step 4 In the NE Login Management Table, select the NE and click Switch NE
User. In the Switch Current NE User dialog box, enter the User and Password,
and set Offline Switching. If Offline Switching is selected, the system does not
check the user name and password, and thus later login of the NE may fail, which
causes the NE unreachable by the NMS. Therefore, it is recommended not to select
Offline Switching.

An OptiX OSN 9800 U64/U32 subrack is supplied by a power supply pool comprising PIU boards.
Based on the physical power supply configuration, a user can configure a visual power supply pool
and manage power consumption using an emulation NE Panel.

Short-circuit relationships between PIU boards can be set when a subrack is powered on for the first
time and cannot be modified after the subrack is properly working. Short-circuit relationships cannot
be modified before the subrack is powered off.

For a newly added board, if the total power consumption of the power supply section where the
new board is located is beyond the power supply capability, the board will not be powered on and
no logical board or services can be created for the board.

Procedure on the U2000:

Step 1 On the U2000, set the short-circuit relationship between PIU boards to be the same
as the actual short-circuit mode.

Select a PIU board. The target PIU boards that can be short-circuited with the
selected board are displayed.
Click the dot above a PIU board. The dot indicates that a short-circuit relationship
can be set between the board and the selected board.
Click Apply.

Step 2 Set the input current.

Click the red triangle in the current display box (green). The input current options
are displayed.
Select a current. The current of each power supply can be set to 0 A, 63 A, 100 A,
or 120 A. 100 A and 120 A are available only for short-circuited PIU boards and 0
A is available only for PIU boards that are not short-circuited.
