Plugin. It verifies all the information and acts as its predecessor the "dongle"
described below.
2.11.2 Hardware Key (dongle)

A hardware key (or dongle) comprises programmed license information for use of
the SyncView PLUS Network Manager software. When this key is not present
on the USB port, the system runs in Element Manager mode or an error message
is displayed and the software terminates. The verification process is started at the
launch of the software, and on a regular basis during execution
The key checks and authorizes the use of: Element Manager Pro, Network
Manager, Network Manager Advanced, number of clients and RMs. It also
checks the number of units authorized by type or class.
Note:
Element Manager Light doesn't need license file or protection key.
2.11.3 Connection Unit Classes Description

The equipment authorization is split in classes as follows:
Class
Type of equipment
5548C, 5548B

accounted for.
Procedure 2-1 License/Dongle Upgrade
2-58
2.12 Cluster Installation and Configuration

The SyncViewPlus cluster plug-In functionality, provides a high-availability cluster or
failover cluster. A failover cluster is a set of servers that are configured so that if one
server becomes unavailable, another server automatically takes over for the failed
server and continues processing. Each server in the cluster has at least one other
server in the cluster identified as its standby server.
All database data, Syncview Plus files and settings are replicate.
Cluster can be used and supported with SyncViewPlus Network Manager and
Network Manager advanced.
2.12.1 Installation
Note:
The cluster machines must have an SQL Server database engine
installed.
Independently install the Master and Slave servers. (See procedure install for
Network Manager or Network Manager Advanced)
When running the SyncView Plus application on the Server Slave machine, only
the access to Cluster Manager plug-In is available.
2.12.2 Detecting Failure

For a standby server to become the active server, it must somehow determine
that the active server is no longer functioning. The system uses push heartbeats;
the active server sends specified signals to the standby server at well-defined
intervals. If the standby server does not receive a heartbeat signal over a certain
time interval, it determines that the active server failed and takes the active role.

Security Management
4.1 Introduction
SyncView is protected by a license file or dongle except for SyncView Element
Manager, which is the basic SyncView product version.
In addition, for SyncView Network Manager and Network Manager Advanced, security
relies partially on Windows Security management.
Then, both these products are based on Functionality Groups and Network Element
Groups, which are SyncView specific.
Briefly the main concept is: a User has access to a particular Functionality if the User
and the Functionality are in a common Functionality Group. And in the same way, a
User has access to a particular Network Element if the user and the Network Element
are in a common Network Element Group.
And finally, synchronization equipment access with any product is protected by internal
Connection User and Password that are stored in the equipment.
The Security Concepts section describes the different security concepts. Here the
distinction is done concerning the different security mechanisms in the different
SyncView products.
The remaining sections are applicable only to Network Manager and Network Manager
Advanced products.
Sections 4.3 to 4.6 describe how the user configures Users, Functionality Groups and
Network Element Groups.
And Section 4.7 explains communication access mechanisms from SyncView to the
physical Network Element.
4.2 Security Concepts

This section describes the security mechanisms that are used in SyncView. The
distinction is made between the different SyncView family products.
4.2.1
License Protection
SyncView can be delivered in five different products, which are:
Element Manager
Element Manager Pro
Network Manager
Network Manager Advanced
Network Manager Client
These products are protected by license file or dongle in the following way:
Element Manager: None needed.
Element Manager Pro: License file or dongle must be configured with Element
Manager Pro access.
Network Manager: License file or dongle must be configured with Network
Manager access and it has to be plugged in the PC that hosts SyncView
Communication Server.
4-3
Security Management
Network Manager Advanced: License file or dongle must be configured with

Network Manager Advanced access and it has to be plugged in the PC that acts
as National Manager (NM).
Network Manager Client: Run on PC without dongle. But the PC that runs
Network Manager (or the NM that runs Network Manager Advanced) must have a
license file or dongle configured with a certain number (0) of distant clients.
For the description of dongle configuration, see section 2.11-License
Configuration.
4.2.2
Element Manager (Pro)

No logon in SyncView Element Manager:
When a user starts Element Manager or Element Manager Pro application, its
Windows User is not taken into account. Then, only for Element Manager Pro,
SyncView checks if a license file or dongle is present and configured with the
corresponding access permission.
Equipment Access:
The user is invited, either to type a User Name and its Password that are stored
in the equipment, or to use default User Name and Password that have been
registered initially into the equipment. But the later, for security reasons, could
have been removed.
Synchronization Equipment can store several users. Adding and removing users
in synchronization equipment is done via SyncTerminal. For instructions on this
SyncView component refer to the SyncTerminal - Command Line Interface
section of the SyncView PLUS " User Guide"
The remaining sections of this chapter Security Management are only applicable
to the two products: Network Manager and Network Manager Advanced.
4.2.3
Network Manager (Advanced)

Automatic Logon in SyncView Network Manager:
When a user starts Network Manager or Network Manager Advanced application,
it is automatically logged on in SyncView with its own Windows User. In that way
SyncView Security relies on that of Windows.
Then SyncView checks if a license file or dongle is present and configured with
the corresponding access permission. And finally SyncView checks if the User
Name has been registered by SyncView. If it is not the case, SyncView access is
denied.
First registered User in SyncView Network Manager:
For Network Manager and Network Manager Advanced, SyncView is executed
the first time at the end of the installation. At this first launch SyncView registers
automatically the logged Windows User as a SyncView SuperUser. That
SuperUser can then store additional SyncView Users.
4-4
Security Management
Functionality Group:
A user has access to a particular Functionality if the user and the Functionality
are in a common Functionality Group.
There are five pre-defined Functionality Groups:
SuperUser
Administrator
Engineer
Operator
ReadOnly
Their content can be configured by users that are included in SuperUser

Functionality Groups. Users that belong to Administrator Group, if Security
Functionality is included their Group, can also configure the content of
Functionality Groups, except for the SuperUser Group. In addition, an
Administrator member can only redistribute the functionalities that are accessible
by him.
No additional Functionality Group can be added and none can be removed.
In the example represented below, Rashtrapati has DownloadAccess because
the User and the Functionality are both in Administrator Functionality Group.
George has also DownloadAccess because both are in Engineer Functionality
Group. But George has no BackupAccess because they are not included in a
same Functionality Group:
The configuration management of Users in Functionality Groups is described in

section 4.4-User Management. The configuration of Functionalities in
Functionality Groups is explained in Section 4.5-Functionality Groups
4-5
Security Management
Network Element Group:

A user has access to a particular Network Element Group if the user and the
Network Element are in a common Network Element Group.
There is one pre-defined Network Element Group:
All
This Group includes every Network Elements.
Others can be added (up to 60) and their content can be configured by users that
are included in SuperUser. Users that belong to Administrator Group, if Security
Functionality is included the Administrator Group, can also configure the content
of Network Element Groups.
In the example represented below, Rashtrapati has access to NE1 because the
User and the Network element are both in All Network Element Group. Gaston
has also access to NE1 because both are in West Network Element Group. But
Gaston has no access to NE3 because they are not included in a same Network
Element Group:
The configuration management of Users in Network Element Groups is described

in section 4.4-User Management. And the configuration of Network Elements in
Network Element Groups is explained in Section 4.6.
Logon in Network Element from SyncView Network Manager:
To logon in a physical Network Element (physical synchronization equipment),
SyncView checks if the user has the right to access it, and then uses an internal
Network Element Connection User and Password, which are stored in SyncView.
We call them NEUser parameters or Connection Attributes. Any user will then
use the same internal Connection User and Password to access a particular
Network Element. NEUsers configuration are explained in Section 4.7-NEUsers.
4-6
Security Management
4.3 Security Manager

This section applies only to the two products: Network Manager and Network Manager
Advanced.
Security Manager is always accessible by SuperUser members. It can be also
accessible by Administrator members following the configuration. But a User that is not
member of one of these Functionality Groups does not have access to security
management.
Security Manager is the entry point for the management of:
Users
Functionality Groups
Network Element Groups
NE Users (communication parameter for physical synchronization equipment)
The corresponding configuration procedures are described in the next sections.

To open Security window, select Configuration menu -- Security Manager option:

The window below displays the User Update window:
The minimum configuration of User Update window is that a User must have a
Name and must belong to at least one Functionality Group and one Network
element Group (NEGroup). Otherwise the User cannot be updated.
User Attributes:
The Fields First Name, Last Name, Description, E-mail, Phone, and Manager
Data fields are filled by authorized users and are purely informative.
Creation and Last Login are read-only fields and Last Login value is 1.1.2006 as
long as the user has never logged on yet.
Account Status not checked means that the user is visible in the list of users but
he can not logon.
4-9
Security Management
Maximum Activity Time means that a user is automatically deactivated if he has

not logged on for this time value. This field is neither effective nor shown for
SuperUser members.
4.4.3
Restriction rules to User Management

A user can in principle modify its own configuration and the one of other users.
However, the following restriction rules will automatically apply:
It is mandatory to include or keep a user into at least one Functionality

Group and one Network Element Group.
Only SuperUser or Administrator members can access to Security

Manager.
Administrator members can access to Security Manager only if the

Functionality SecurityAccess is included in Administrator Functionality
Group (this is not an additional rule since it is as for any Functionality).
An administrator cannot remove, change or create neither a SuperUser nor

another Administrator.
An Administrator member can update itself but cannot increase its own
authority level.
A user cannot remove itself.
A SuperUser member cannot deactivate itself or decrease its own authority

level.

4-11
Security Management
Restriction rules to Functionality Group Management:

The following restriction rules will automatically apply:
4.5.2
SuperUser Functionality Group contains always all the Functionalities.
Only SuperUser or Administrator members can access to Security

Manager. So no User can give access to SecurityAccess Functionality to a
Functionality Group other than Administrator or SuperUser ones.
An Administrator member cannot change the belonging of a Functionality

that is not already included in Administrator Functionality Group.
Group Content Copy and Reset to Default Configuration

To reset the content of all the Functionality Groups or update a Functionality
Group by adding the content of other Groups, click on the button at the bottom of
the List of Functionalities (see window above).
Then the following window is displayed:
One or several Functionality Groups can be selected by checking them and the
Group destination by selecting it in the ComboBox at the top of the window.
It has to be noted that the User who is not a SuperUser member have not the
capability to copy SuperUser Group content. In addition, SecurityAccess
Functionality is automatically excluded from copying to a Functionality Group that
is not the Administrator one.
4-12
Security Management
Default reset button can be applied only from a SuperUser member. It resets all
the Functionality Group contents to its original configuration at installation time.
Default content is defined as in the picture of the Functionality Groups window
that is shown above.
4.6 Network Element Group

4.6.1
Network Element Group Contents

To open Network Element Groups window, click on NE Groups button on the left
of Security window:
The list of Network Elements is displayed and they can be re-distributed in the
Network Element Groups from this View.
A Network Element represents either physical synchronization equipment, or an
entry point of a set of Network Elements. Those entry points can be:
SyncView Server itself.
A Regional Manager (RM).
A National Manager (NM).
A Virtual Regional Manager (VRM) that is a view represented a set of
Network Elements.
4-13
Security Management
The columns correspond to the different NEGroups. The NEGroup All is the
unique pre-defined one. It includes always all the Network Elements and it cannot
be removed. It has to be noted that consequently a new Network Element, which
is added with Network Editor, is automatically manageable by Users that are All
members.
4.6.2
Add, Globally Update, or Remove a Network Element

Group
To remove or globally update a Network Element Group (NEGroup), select it and
click on the corresponding button at the bottom of the window.
To add a new Network Element Group, click on the button represented with the
sign +.
The window below displays the Add new NEGroup window:
The content of the new NEGroup can be based on existing ones. The User can
select one or several NEGroups by checking them or start with an empty
NEGroup and select Network Elements one by one from Network Element Group
window.
A NEGroup can also be updated by copying NEGroup contents in another
NEGroup.
4-14
Security Management
4.7 NEUsers
Advanced.
To logon in a physical Network Element (physical synchronization equipment),
SyncView Network Manager, or Network Manager Advanced, checks if the user has
the right to access it. And then it uses an internal Network Element Connection User
and Password, which are stored in SyncView. We call them NEUser parameters. Any
SyncView user will then use the same internal Connection User and Password to
access a particular Network Element.
In order that SyncView can access to a physical Network Element, its NEUser
parameters, which are stored in SyncView, must match to a pair User Name and
Password that are stored in the equipment. This section describes NEUsers
management.
4.7.1
List of Network Elements with their Connection User

To open Network Element Access settings window, click on NEUsers button on
the left of Security window:
The list of Network Elements is displayed along with their Connection User and
their equipment Types.
4-15
Security Management
4.7.2
NE Connection Attributes
To manage Connection User and its associated password, select a Network
Element, and click on the button at the bottom of the List of Network Element
(see window above).
Then the following window is displayed:
NE Connection User and Password can be updated from this view. But modifying
Connection Attributes can be done for two different reasons:
First case is when connection attributes match well a pair User Name and
Password that is stored in the equipment, and the SyncView user wants to
update them in both places: SyncView and the equipment. The check box Store
new equipment attributes into equipment must be then checked. If the change
cannot be achieved in the equipment, connection attributes are not changed also.
The second case is when connection attributes do not match any pair User Name
and Password that is stored in the equipment, and the SyncView user wants to
update only the SyncView settings. The check box Store new equipment
attributes into equipment must be then unchecked. In that case the SyncView
user cannot by any way change the attributes in the equipment if he does not
know any pair User Name and Password stored in equipment.
Default Connection attributes:
Button Reset to Default reset Connection User and Password to their default
values. Those are always memorized in SyncView and are stored into equipment
at production time. And they depend on the equipment type.
4-16
Security Management
Adding and Removing Users into physical equipment:

Synchronization Equipment can store several users. But replacing the pair User
Name and Password that matches SyncView Connection Attributes is the only
thing the user can change, via Security Manager, in the equipment security
setting. Adding and removing users into equipment is not done via SyncView
Security Manager, but via SyncTerminal. For instructions on this SyncView
component refer to the SyncTerminal - Command Line Interface section of the
SyncView PLUS " User Guide".

6.2 Database Maintenance

Note:
The SQL Server database for SyncView Plus, called SyncNG, doesnt need
any external process to maintain or improve it.
SyncView Plus database doesnt use any stored procedure. All the logical
behavior from the database is programmed in the DBServer (SyncView Plus
windows service).
SyncView Plus internally contains tasks that ensure in real time the status
of the database.
Following these real time checks, SyncView Plus automatically indexes or a

purges the database when needed.
SQL Server Error Log. The Error Log, the most important log file, is used to
troubleshoot system problems. SQL Server retains backups of the previous six
logs, naming each archived log file sequentially. The current error log file is
named ERRORLOG. To view the error log, which is located in the %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1MSSQL\LOG\ERRORLOG directory,
open SSMS, expand a server node, expand Management, and click SQL
Server Logs.
