2. ABOUT CID
CID (Craft Interface Device) is an advanced element management system developed for
the C-Node, conforming to ITU-T recommendations. It manages the C-Node in the light
of relevant recommendation requirements and realizes alarm management, performance
management, configuration management, maintenance management and security
management.
2.1 Main Function of CID

The main functions of the CID are as follows:
- NE and network configuration management (including cross connection function)
- Pinpoint alarm management
- Veracious performance monitoring
- Effective maintenance function
- Reliable security management
2.1.1 Configuration Management

Configuration management includes working parameter setup for NE, configuration of
extended board required for NE operation, effective timing source setup, equipment and
resource control and traffic management.
NE equipment management is mainly to configure attributes for NE, main board and
extended boards. Attributes for NE equipment are equipment types, NE interface,
protection switching group, NE timing source setting, etc.
Traffic management includes the management of transmission, end users and cross
connection.

2.1.2 Alarm Management

Alarm management is a network management function, which is related to equipment
failure management, such as monitoring, diagnosis, renew and eliminate. Its object is to
guarantee so that the network can provide continuous and reliable service. Main function
of alarm management provides alarm monitoring, alarm orientation and alarm analysis:
Alarm monitoring: Provides real-time monitoring of the NE operation status in

network and analysis, estimates the character and severity level
according to the alarm report.
Alarm orientation: Used for failure orientation. In general, failure is to be orientated

after analyzing many NE alarm reports.
Alarm analysis: Provides an analysis report of the failure.
2.1.3 Performance Management

Performance management can report and evaluate the status of the related transmission
equipment and efficiency of network or network unit. Main function of performance
management is to collect various statistics for monitoring, to revise the status and
efficiency of network, network unit, or equipment, and to assist programming and
analysis.
Performance management provides 15-minute register and 24-hour register for each
performance monitoring. The former one holds accumulated performance monitoring
data of every 15-minute period, and the latter holds accumulated performance
monitoring data of every 24-hour period. Each register can be classified into current
register and history register.
The choice of performance monitoring type can be divided into 15-minute and 24-hour
affair according to cycle area. Monitoring object is one NE, one unit or one interface.
Performance management can possess setting of monitoring object, examination of

performance data, setting of threshold data, performance analysis and mimeograph of
performance report.

2.1.4 Maintenance Management

Maintenance management provides convenient equipment maintenance operation for
users and helps them to find out the failure rapidly and clear it in time to ensure the
normal operation of SDH sub-network. Main function of the maintenance management
includes unit reset, loopback control, online software download:
- Unit reset
- Equipment can reset its original setting on each unit. Take 100Base-T package for
example, it can reset its original setting individually without effecting other packages.
- Loopback control
- Equipment Initialization
- Software upgrade
The software can be downloaded via online and the current version can be obtained
(updated) smoothly without influence of running traffic. But note the traffic will be down
if update FPGA.
2.1.5 Security Management

Security Management provides security environment for user, which permits only
registered user, for example, to configure NE, to monitor alarm and status from NE, and
to download firmware to NE.
Usable functions for each user should be limited according to user level of each user.

5.1.3 Accessing Restrictions

Maximum eight users can access the same NE at the same time.
5.1.4 Remote Login

When the equipment communicates with the CID by direct connection, the equipment
can be defined as Local NE. When the equipment communicates with the CID through
optical transmission path and intermediate equipment, the equipment is defined as
Remote NE.
User can select local or remote login. Two kinds of login procedures are just same, but
note that some settings for NEs and CID running PC must be done before login to a
remote NE. Detail information for remote login is described in the section 5.2.2.2 Login
to Remote NE.
5.1.5 User ID Restrictions
5.1.5.1 Use of User ID

User ID should be the unique representative identification of a user; different users
cannot use a same user ID to login the NE at the same time. All the valid ASCII code can
be used as user ID and up to 16 characters can be set as user ID.
5.1.5.2 User Account Expiration

User can set Life Time as user account expiration. The user account expiration can start
from 1980-01-01 to 2037-01-01, the lifetime can be set as 49710 days and 6 hours at
most. User account expiration aiming to log out the user automatically from the NE
when no operation has been performed by the user for the period specified as Life Time.
For example, if the user has not performed any operations for more than one hour while
0 Date, 1 Hour is specified as Life Time, the user will be logged out from the NE

6.1.3 User Levels

To protect the C-Node from an unauthorized access, there are four user account levels in
the system: Level4 (Highest), Level3 (High), Level2 (Normal) and Level1 (Lowest). The
authority level for these users is as follows:
Lower Authority Level Higher
Level1(Lowest) Level2 (Normal) Level3 (High) Level4 (Highest)
Figure 6-1. Authority Level of Users
The user level must be assigned when registering a new user. The following paragraphs
describe the definitions for these users.
6.1.3.1 Level1 (Lowest) User
Level1 (Lowest) User can take the operations such as NE attribute browsing, current
alarm browsing, alarm history browsing, performance (PM data) browsing,
browsing of properties such as kinds of events, cross connect configuration, version
information and alarm, J1 value browsing, and browsing external clock, line clock,
system clock, NE clock.
6.1.3.2 Level2 (Normal) User
