General Safety UNO 2.16.3

General Safety

Remember!. . . safety depends on you!


General safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation,
service and repair of the equipment described in this manual. Failure to comply
with these precautions, or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual,
violates safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of the
equipment. Motorola, Inc. assumes no liability for the customers failure to
comply with these requirements. The safety precautions listed, represent
warnings of certain dangers of which we are aware. You, the product user,
should follow these warnings and all other safety precautions necessary for the
safe operation of the equipment in your operating environment.

Ground the instrument


To minimize shock hazard, the equipment chassis and enclosure must be
connected to an electrical ground. If the equipment is supplied with a
three-conductor AC power cable, the power cable must be either plugged into
an approved three-contact electrical outlet or used with a three-contact to
two-contact adapter. The three-contact to two-contact adapter must have the
grounding wire (green) firmly connected to an electrical ground (safety ground)
at the power outlet. The power-cable, power-jack and matching plug must
meet International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety standards.

Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere


Do not operate the equipment in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.
Operation of any electrical equipment in such an environment constitutes a
definite safety hazard.

xxxvi UNO Core Features March 1, 2004


UNO 2.16.3 Foreword

Keep away from live circuits


Operating personnel must:
not remove equipment covers. Only Factory Authorized Service Personnel
or other qualified maintenance personnel may remove equipment covers for
internal subassembly, component replacement or internal adjustment
not replace components when the power cable is connected. Under certain
conditions, a dangerous electric current may exist even with the power
cable removed
always disconnect power and discharge circuits before touching them

Do not service or adjust alone


Do not attempt internal service or adjustment unless another person, capable of
rendering first aid and resuscitation, is present.

Use caution when handling a CRT


Breakage of a CathodeRay Tube (CRT) causes a high-velocity scattering of
glass fragments (implosion). To prevent a CRT implosion, avoid rough
handling or jarring of the equipment. A CRT should be handled only by
qualified maintenance personnel, using approved safety-mask and gloves.

Do not substitute parts or modify equipment


Because of the danger of introducing additional hazards, do not install
substitute parts or perform any unauthorized modification of equipment.
Contact Motorola Warranty and Repair for service and repair to ensure that
safety features are maintained.

Management Tools

Fault Management (FM)


FM refers to the tracking and management of faults and failures of network
objects. During FM, the fault status (operating/not operating) of network
objects is monitored continually so that changes can be tracked. Status changes
can be tracked either over specified periods, or continually.

FM Tools
UNO provides these tools for tracking and managing faults and failures:
Alarm Manager
Alarm Browser
Historical Alarm Reports
Database Access Application (Formula One)
Network Management Reports

FM Benefits
FM provides the following network-management benefits:
Analog/Digital FM
Immediate event identification and notification
Rapid problem solution
Minimal system down-time
Faster alarm management and control
Customized alarm management and viewing

Management Tools UNO 2.16.3

Performance Management (PM)


PM monitors the quality of service the cellular network provides. Alarms,
generated by a specific agent, alert you to a decline in the quality of the service
provided, as well as indicate the possible sources of the problem.
PM uses quality indicators to manage the performance of network objects. A
device that is correctly maintained, and working without any faults, may yield a
Fault Status of very good. However, it is possible that the same device can be
overloaded and unable to handle its workload, thereby yielding low
performance.
UNO maintains a detailed database containing system-performance
information over time-periods for every agent type installed by UNO Manager.
Using graphic reports generated by a database-access application (for example,
Formula One), you can monitor every aspect of system performance.

PM Tools
UNO provides these tools for monitoring quality of service:

The Command Center comprises a Summary Bar Area and Main Display Area.
The Summary Bar displays Summary Squares, each displaying information
about the state of a summary group of a specific device type, such as Base
Transceiver Station (BTS) or Operations and Maintenance Center-Radio
(OMC-R) devices.
By clicking on a Summary Square, you invoke a status screen that is displayed
in the Main Display Area. The status screens are arranged in a hierarchy. From
the first status screen, you can invoke a series of lower-level status screens,
each giving more specific information.
Thus, the Command Center provides information ranging from an overall view
of the state of the cellular network to specific information about individual
devices or cards.

tab. The Chart tab displays a graphical summary of processor utilization for a
24 hour period; the Spreadsheet tab displays statistical data in numerical form
for 24 hours prior to the time of the most recent data Reload (refresh). The
spreadsheet data (Formula 1) displays the percentage of utilization in each,
consecutive ten-minute period during the 24 hour report period.
The Breakdown Display has two versions, Breakdown by CP and Breakdown
by BTS, each of which has two tabs, a Chart tab and Spreadsheet tab. The Chart
tab for Breakdown by CP displays the Communications Processor (CP) event
loads of selected devices at a specific time in a bar graph format; the
Spreadsheet tab numerically expresses total utilization and values for device
and CP event loads. The values displayed are for every device selected in the
System Tree.
The Chart tab, for the Breakdown by BTS, displays a bar graph of total
utilization of, and a breakdown by, the Base Transceiver Station (BTS) load
expressed in bar graph form. The Spreadsheet tab for Breakdown by BTS
numerically expresses the value of total utilization as well as a numerical
expression of values for a breakdown of the BTS load per selected BTS.

CFC Monitoring
CFC Monitoring alerts the user about performance problems that cannot easily
be identified using alarms. Users can monitor the most important Call Final
Class (CFC), and determine which counts exceed tolerance limits. Simple
drill-down actions allow the identification of problems within the system. CFC
Monitoring also enables you to determine, or narrow down the search for, the
exact device or subset of offending devices that causes a problem.
CFC monitoring enables you to collect data about main CFCs that are used for
the initial threshold setup of Performance Management Thresholding.
The functionality of CFC Monitoring includes:
Identification of high CFC counts
Finding low-level devices (Radio Frequency [RF] BTS, Sectors and
Carriers) that cause high CFC counts
Display of statistical data that can be saved and reused
Enabling of the initial threshold settings for the Performance Management
Threshold subsystem
Updates every 15 minutes
For more information, see CFC Monitoring. PM Enhanced Applications.

PM Reports
Performance Management measurements are used to evaluate and engineer
system configuration for optimal performance. Performance Management
measurements are broken down into these operations:
Meteringkeeping counts of events or conditions that occur in
the subsystem
Collectionthe OMC-R is responsible for gathering metering-information
from components of the subsystem, and transferring them to the OMC-R
Processor for loading into the PM database
Analysis and presentation (reports)the Application Processor prepares
reports that convey information in a useful format for traffic engineering
and other possible uses
Transfer of PM data to remote hoststhe OMC-R can transfer this data to
other UNIX hosts. This capability allows customized analysis and report
generation on a separate machine.
PM reports are generated from PM records and other information in the
Performance Management database.

Monitoring Alarms in a Cellular Network UNO 2.16.3

Monitoring Alarms in a Cellular Network


Alarm Management is a primary task in the network management system. The
UNO Alarm Manager provides a useful tool for managing system alarms.
Alarms typically go through a cycle from the time an alarm enters the system
until the alarm is cleared.
The main components in the alarm cycle are:
Alarm Manager, to monitor the system from a central location
Alarm Browser, to view current alarms
Web Monitor, to view current alarms by Netscape Browser
Historical Alarm Reports, to create reports on historical alarms
WAP2UNO, to monitor the remote network through a wireless connection
The Alarm Manager is a graphical and tabular tool that can combine alarms
from multiple agent-platforms, and allows you to monitor the entire system
from a central location. The Alarm Manager displays current alarms in tabular
form. In Large Scale mode, the Alarm Manager monitors alarms across
multiple UNO hosts.
The UNO Alarm Manager provides:
Dynamic updating to view all incoming alarms, according to your needs
Fast and easy access to many other UNO applications directly from the
Alarm Manager
Easy conversion of the Interface to an Alarm Browser to view historical alarms
The Alarm Manager can receive alarms from a large number of systems
simultaneously, and handles a high alarm-arrival rate.
The Alarm List shows all of the alarms reported in the system, as defined by
your selected filter. The alarms are color coded for easy identification of
severity level. Critical, Major, Minor, and Warning levels are shown.
Both the table and graphical display show the following alarm information:
Total (number of alarms), according to severity
Total number of unacknowledged alarms, according to severity
Total number of uncleared alarms, according to severity
For more information, see Alarm Manager. UNO Core Features.

Alarm Browser
Alarm Browser functionality is similar to that of the Alarm Manager, except
that the Alarm Manager views current alarms, whereas the Alarm Browser only
views historical alarms. The Alarm Browser shows the time and date range of
alarms displayed in the Alarm List.
For more information, see Alarm Browser. , UNO Core Features.

Web Monitor
The Web Monitor provides the UNO user with remote view-only access to
current limited FM and PM information. Web Monitor enables you to view two
types of information:
Alarm information
Device State information
Web Monitor also provides data-filtering search-and-sort options, as well as
refresh capability.
For more information, see Web Monitor. UNO Core Features.

Historical Alarm Reports


Historical Alarm Reports is a Graphic User Interface (GUI) based application
that enables you to create reports on historical alarms.
You can create historical alarm reports for individual alarm records for all
analog and digital agents that are defined in your system, and you can review
summary information about the alarms. The reports contain information about
device types, devices, the severity of the alarms, the total number of alarms per
device, as well other statistical data.
Historical alarms are maintained in the historical database, but are not dynamic
in-as-much-as they represent alarms no longer flowing in your system. Unlike
dynamic alarms viewed in the Alarm Manager, alarms in the Alarm Database
cannot be changed.
For more information, see Historical Alarm Reports. 4UNO Core Features.

Chapter 2: UNO Basic Concepts


Universal Network Operations (UNO) is Motorolas open network
telecommunications management system. The UNO Manager consolidates the
management of analog and digital Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA)
operations, switching, and intelligent networks into a single centrally controlled
system. You can view the cellular network from a single workstation, or from
multiple workstations.
UNO provides the integrated management system that lets you control an entire
CDMA cellular network through an enhanced Graphical User Interface (GUI).

Standards Used by UNO


The UNO network management system is based on the Telecommunication
Management Network (TMN) series of international standards. These
International Telecommunication Union (ITU) standards are included in
Recommendations M.3100. TMN provides the architecture for achieving the
interconnection among various types of Operating Systems (OS) and
telecommunications equipment. The exchange of management information is
enabled by the use of open architecture with standardized interface, protocols
and messages. The UNO management functions are defined according to the
ITU standards (ITU X.730/7400):
Fault Management (FM) for monitoring and control of network devices
Performance Management (PM) for grade of service indication and
gathering and displaying statistics from managed devices

UNO 2.16.3 Chapter 2: UNO Basic Concepts

Supported UNO Agents


The UNO Manager provides functionality for both digital and analog networks.
Network Elements communicate with the UNO Manager through agent
software using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and the
Common Management Interface Protocol (CMIP). Agents are supported by
one of these protocols.

SwitchMATE and OMC-R provide an interface to the UNO Manager to


report Network Element events and to respond to requests for information.
SwitchMATE performs non-switching functions that centralize and simplify
operations and maintenance of Analog Network Element in a Motorola Cellular
Network. OMC-R performs analogous functions for Digital Network Agents.

MOSCAD and IWU are both supported by the UNO Manager. UNO
supports SNMP based devices in two forms of integration:
Complete integration
Point of access integration
During complete integration, SNMP and CMIP devices are managed through
the same management applications. This enables you to use the same Alarm
Manager and Command Center to manage the alarms/traps of both the SNMP
and CMIP devices. During point of access integration, it is possible to launch
and execute independent vendor supplied SNMP management applications
from a common interface and Telnet directly into SNMP hosts.
The agents supported by the Software Release 2.16.3 UNO Manager are listed

Simultaneously Changing Column and Row Size


In most UNO applications you can adjust both column width and row height in
a single operation.

Important: When modifying column and row sizes, observe these rules:
Do not hide a column by reducing its size to a minimum.
Instead, use the Properties dialog in each UNO application to
remove an unwanted field from the table display.
When you remove a field from the table display, the entire
column associated with the field is not shown in the table. If
later, you want to show the field and its column information,
enable the field in the relevant properties dialog box, for each
UNO application.

To Change Column Width and Row Size

1. Place the cursor over corner where a row border and column border meet
The cursor changes to a solid right angle bar with an arrow facing the
angle corner.

Alarms UNO 2.16.3

Alarms
There are two types of alarms in the UNO system:
Active Alarms: Incoming alarms
Historical Alarms: Old alarms stored for viewing alarm behavior over a
period of time.
An alarm is considered active from the time it arrives and is registered by the
Alarm Engine until the alarm is cleared. Once an alarm is acknowledged and
cleared, it is defined as an historical alarm in the alarm database.
Alarms in the UNO system are classified into five types:
Communications
Environmental
Equipment
Processing error
Quality of service
All alarms are identified by a color coded severity level. These are described in
the Command Center Suite. See Device State Default Colors in Command
Center. Command Center Suite. 3-33.

Alarm Engine
The Alarm Engine is an UNO daemon process which:
Receives alarms from the agents, parses the alarms, and stores them in the
Alarm Database
Transfers the alarms to the Alarm Manager and other applications
Transfers alarm information to and from the Alarm Database
If connection cannot be established to the Alarm Engine, a message appears
informing the user that connection to the Alarm Manager is lost.

Operation Modes
The Alarm Manager operates in the performance management (PM) mode,
indicating that the quality of service is affected.
The Alarm Manager has two operation modes. The two management operation
modes are:
Performance Management (PM) where the quality of service is affected
Fault Management (FM) where there is a specific problem that might
interrupt service
You use Mode (see Selecting Modes on page 3-26) to have the Alarm
Manager display only those alarms suited to the current management mode.

Invoking the Alarm Manager


The Alarm Manger can be launched from the Application Launcher and from
the command line. You can run multiple Alarm Manager applications in
parallel, for example, to view certain types of alarms on one application and
other types on another. The multiple applications run independently of each
another. As well as invoking another Alarm Manager from the Application

UNO 2.16.3 Chapter 3: Alarm Manager

Central Alarm Acknowledge (Ack) Handling


Central Alarm Ack Handling allows you to perform manual handling and
synchronization of remote-system alarms for multiple UNO managers
connected to the same agent.
Central Alarm Ack Handling ensures that information relating to alarm
management, including alarm acknowledgment and alarm clearing, is
displayed consistently in connected UNO Alarm Managers. All managers
receive alarm updates for alarm-related functionality. Central Alarm Ack
Handling enables the central managing and sharing of information with other
UNO managers. When an alarm is acknowledged or cleared on a manager,
Central Alarm Ack Handling propagates the information to all connected
managers.
Central Alarm Ack Handling is launched from within Alarm Manager, Alarm
Browser or from UNO Configuration in the UNO Application Launcher.

Capabilities
Central Alarm Ack Handling enables a local UNO system to communicate with
remote-site UNO systems and to perform manual synchronization if
communication is lost, then reestablished. You can view and refresh
connection states and monitor acknowledged or cleared alarms for multiple
managers connected to the same agent. Figure 3-20 displays the configuration
tree.

UNO Core Features

Chapter 4: Alarm Correlation


Alarm Correlation significantly contributes to efficient and effective fault
management by facilitating the attainment of these fault-management
objectives:
Fault recognition
Isolation of the primary cause of the fault
Fault correction
Alarm Correlation accomplishes these objectives by combining numerous
alarms that may be generated as a result of a single fault into a single,
information-rich alarm with an identifiable causal link to the fault. In doing so,
Alarm Correlation provides these benefits:
Reduces alarm pressure, which is the quantity of alarms that arrive at an
interface per unit time
Provides supplemental fault diagnostics information
Enhances alarm quality, which refers to alarm informational content that
will suffice to perform proper fault analysis and fault recovery
Note: You can use the uno_alarm_doc.sh utility to document new
correlated alarms (see uno_alarm_doc.sh in UNO Utilities.
Administrative Guide. 11-47).

Overview
The significant increase in the size and complexity of CDMA networks has
resulted in a concomitant increase in the demand for effective and efficient
network management.
One important aspect of network management is fault management. Faults are
unavoidable in large networks, but quick fault detection and isolation of the
cause of these faults are central to efficient network management. Good fault
management thus results in increased system robustness and reliability.

March 1, 2004 UNO Core Features 4-1


General Concepts UNO 2.16.3

The central tasks of fault management, which must all be executed in a timely
and cost-effective manner, are:
Detect the fault
Isolate the primary cause of the fault
Correct the fault
Executing these tasks efficiently is difficult because a single fault of a large
network may result in a large number of alarms and notifications. This makes
it very difficult to isolate the true cause of the fault.
The Alarm Correlation mechanism filters the mass of incoming alarms. This
mechanism analyzes the stream of input alarms and combines alarms that
commonly result from one fault type into a correlated alarm. This correlated
alarm thus provides more specific and useful fault information that aids an
operator in executing the fault management tasks.
The following sections will describe how Alarm Correlation helps to execute
the central tasks of fault management by providing these functions:
Reducing alarm quantity
Providing specific and useful fault diagnostic information
Increasing alarm quality

General Concepts

Alarm Correlation in Fault Management


Alarm Correlation is an essential part of fault management because of the
masses of alarms. These alarms are generated independently of affected
devices without any indication of the true fault source. There is also no
indication of the causal relationship between a specific fault and a generated
alarm. In addition, the overwhelming number of alarms makes it difficult for
an operator, even when causal relationships between faults and alarms are
successfully deduced, to prioritize fault correction.
The mass of alarms also makes it difficult to differentiate between alarms with
meaningful information content and alarms with little information content.
Meaningful information content helps to isolate and correct the fault condition.
In other words, it is difficult to differentiate between alarms of high quality and
those of low quality.

4-2 UNO Core Features March 1, 2004


UNO 2.16.3 Chapter 4: Alarm Correlation

Thus, the primary task of alarm correlation is to drastically reduce the number
of alarms that an operator receives. Alarm correlation accomplishes this by
recognizing that a definable set of specific alarms, occurring within a certain
time period, is statistically shown to be symptomatic of a single fault type.
Alarm correlation correlates all the alarms in the alarm set into a single alarm
that points directly to the fault source.

Alarm Correlation Capabilities


The capabilities of Alarm Correlation are:
A single alarm can participate in different correlation rules
simultaneously, where each rule generates a correlation alarm
A single alarm can participate only once in the generation of a correlation
alarm from the same correlation rule
The Alarm Manager supports correlation.
The Alarm Browser does not support correlation
The filters you define for alarm correlation are used exclusively for alarm
correlation and have no impact on other filters built with the UNO Filter
Builder application
You can channel correlated alarms from the Alarm Correlation into the
UNO Alarm Listener application

Information Flow
The flow diagram in Figure 4-1 describes the information flow in the Alarm
Correlation.
The Alarm Correlation process works externally of the UNO Alarm Engine.
After BTS Relays, all alarms flow into the Alarm Correlation process and from
there, back to the Alarm Engine and into the internal Alarm database and
Filter mechanism.
The Alarm Correlation process output is correlated alarms that are channeled
into the Alarm Manager (after passing through the UNO Filter mechanism).
The Alarm Correlation Alarm Manager now contains:
Correlated alarms
Unprocessed network element alarms that did not participate in any
correlation rules
Unprocessed network element alarms that participated in correlation rules,
but did not participate in generating a correlation alarm and were not
expelled by the correlation rule definition

March 1, 2004 UNO Core Features 4-3


General Concepts UNO 2.16.3

In addition to channeling alarms into the Alarm Correlation Alarm Manager,


you can channel alarms into the UNO Alarm Listener application. In this way,
you can view correlated alarms in ASCII format on a terminal screen.
In future implementation, the Alarm Correlation process is incorporated into
the UNO Alarm Engine. After BTS Relays, all incoming alarms flow into the
Alarm Correlation process. The output is then channeled into the Filter
mechanism, and then distributed to UNO applications. These distributed
alarms have all participated in the correlation process.
In future implementation, Alarm Correlation will also be applied to
Performance Management data and Topology data.

Default Correlation Rules


Table 4-1 shows the alarm IDs and their parameters for which default
correlation rules have been defined. Table 4-1 also shows, for each alarm ID,
the default rule Time Threshold setting (see Time Threshold Setting in
Table 4-7) and default rule Administrative State (Activated or Deactivated, as
shown in Figure 4-2, Alarm Correlation Dialog Box, on page 4-25). The
table entries are listed in alphabetical order of the correlation rule names as they
appear in the Rules Table of the Alarm Correlation dialog box (Figure 4-2,
Alarm Correlation Dialog Box, on page 4-25).
All rules in Table 4-1 were created for alarms that are characteristically cleared
automatically a short time after they are issued. Many are characterized by
minimal service impact. The correlation rules for all the alarms are set up to
suppress the alarm when the alarm is cleared within the rule Time Threshold
setting, (see Alarm Handling Options in Table 4-10, No Alarm). This
significantly reduces the number of alarms logged in the Alarm Manager.

Important: When the alarms participating in the default correlation rules are
cleared within the rule Time Threshold setting, the alarms are not
not deleted, but suppressed and are forwarded to the alarm
database to be displayed in the Alarm Browser (see Alarm
Logging Options in Table 4-10).

Default Correlation Rules UNO 2.16.3

AMR Communications Fault


Alarm ID 17541756

Alarm Description MGLI detected a time-out when communicating with


the AMR (Alarm Monitoring and Reporting card), the primary AMR, AMR #1,
or secondary AMR, AMR #2.

Alarm Cause AMR hardware failure or AMR was extracted for service.

Correlation Rule Name AMR_17541756

Correlation Rule This alarm will not be shown in the Alarm Manager if it is
cleared within 21 seconds. Within this time period, the alarm is often cleared
automatically. Since the required operator action is to check the AMR (reinsert
or replace), the correlation rule eliminates superfluous inspection trips.

ASUVoltage Regulator Alarm


Alarm ID 15201524

Alarm Description TGLI or RGLI received a voltage regulator


out-of-range alarm from an ASU card.

Alarm Cause Equipment alarm suggesting a hardware failure.

Correlation Rule Name ASU_15201524

Correlation Rule This alarm will not be shown in the Alarm Manager if it is
cleared within 30 seconds. Within this time period, the alarm is often cleared
automatically. Since the required operator action is to check the module
(reinsert or replace), the correlation rule eliminates superfluous inspection trips.

ASU Communications Fault


Alarm ID 15701576

Alarm Description The TGLI or RGLI detected bus faults when


communicating with one of the four ASU cards. The RGLI detected a time-out
when communicating with the TSU (Test Subscriber Unit).

4-8 UNO Core Features March 1, 2004


UNO 2.16.3 Chapter 4: Alarm Correlation

Alarm Cause Equipment alarm suggesting a potential hardware failure, or


the TSU was extracted for service.

Correlation Rule Name ASU_15701576

Correlation Rule This alarm will not be shown in the Alarm Manager if it is
cleared within 10 seconds. Within this time period, the alarm is often cleared
automatically. Since the required operator action is to check the ASU module
(reinsert or replace) or restart RFDS tests (for RGLI-TSU communication
time-out), the correlation rule eliminates superfluous inspection trips and
prevents needless interruption of RFDS tests.

MCC 19 MHz Clock Failure


Alarm ID 80018002

Alarm Description An MCC detected a 19 MHz clock failure.


Note: Each alarm ID refers to a clock source side, A or B, but the alarms
are identical.

Alarm Cause The MCC reports the failure when the hardware detection
mechanism determines there is a failure and sets an interrupt. Indicates a 19
MHz clock problem at the reporting MCC.

System Impact None if the MCC can successfully swap to the redundant
CSM clock. If there is no backup CSM, calls associated with the MCC fail.

Correlation Rule Name BBX_80018002

Correlation Rule These alarms will be not be shown in the Alarm Manager
if they are cleared within 5 seconds.

BBX 19 MHz Clock Failure


Alarm ID 90019002

Alarm Description A BBX detected a 19MHz clock failure.


Note: Each alarm ID refers to a clock source side, A or B, but the alarms
are identical.

March 1, 2004 UNO Core Features 4-9


Default Correlation Rules UNO 2.16.3

Alarm Cause The hardware detection mechanism determines there is a


failure and sets an interrupt. Indicates a 19MHz clock problem at the
reporting BBX.

System Impact None if the BBX can successfully swap to the redundant
CSM clock. If there is no backup CSM, calls associated with the BBX fail.

Correlation Rule Name BBX_90019002

Correlation Rule These alarms will be not be shown in the Alarm Manager
if they are cleared within 5 seconds.

Receive Imbalance
Alarm ID 9050

Alarm Description A BBX or MAWI device detected a receive imbalance


of the I & Q branches, which may result in a loss of up to half of the sector or
site capacity.

Alarm Cause The alarm indicates a possible hardware problem in the


reporting device.

System Impact Potentially significant due to loss of sector-carrier


capacity. However, the condition may be automatically rectified within a
short time (within five seconds), in which case a Clear is issued and the alarm
is expelled.

Correlation Rule Name BBX_9050

Correlation Rule This alarm will not be shown in the Alarm Manager if it is
cleared within five seconds. Since the required operator action is to schedule
maintenance if the alarm is reported, the correlation rule potentially reduces
maintenance costs by preventing self-rectifying alarms from being issued.

Additional Suggestions Since the operator schedules maintenance when


the alarm is issued, you might not wish to see the alarm at all once maintenance
is scheduled. Create another rule that completely filters this alarm until
maintenance is completed.

4-10 UNO Core Features March 1, 2004


UNO 2.16.3 Chapter 4: Alarm Correlation

Reverse Noise Rise Very High


Alarm ID 90519156

Alarm Description A Reverse Noise Rise measurement exceeds a Reverse


Noise Rise threshold level.
Note: Each alarm ID refers to a different sector, but the alarm is identical.

Alarm Cause The BBX or MAWI device monitors and processes the
Reverse Channel noise level and the result is compared to a Reverse Channel
threshold. When the noise level exceeds the threshold, a trouble notification is
sent to the MM by the BBX or MAWI. The MM then generates the alarm.
The BBX or MAWI continuously monitors the Reverse Channel to determine if
the alarm condition has been removed. A Clear is generated whenever the
Reverse Noise Rise measurement recedes below the Reverse Channel threshold
(minus a delta).

Correlation Rule Name BBX_91519156

Correlation Rule These alarms will not be shown in the Alarm Manager if
they are cleared within 30 seconds. The alarm is usually cleared automatically
within this time period (noise level falls below threshold) so the correlation rule
significantly decreases the alarm volume.

Additional Suggestions In the event of a large number of alarms, the


operator disables the feature and checks the Reverse Channel threshold value.
Thus, you might want to create a rule that completely filters this alarm until the
inspection is completed.

Reverse Noise Rise High Alarm: Sector 16


Alarm ID 90719176

Alarm Description A Reverse Noise Rise measurement exceeds a Reverse


Noise Rise threshold level.
Note: Each alarm ID refers to a different sector, but the alarm is identical.

March 1, 2004 UNO Core Features 4-11


Default Correlation Rules UNO 2.16.3

Alarm Cause The BBX or MAWI device monitors and processes the
Reverse Channel noise level and the result is compared to a Reverse Channel
threshold. When the noise level exceeds the threshold, a trouble notification is
sent to the MM by the BBX or MAWI. The MM then generates the alarm.
The BBX or MAWI continuously monitors the Reverse Channel to determine if
the alarm condition has been removed.

Correlation Rule Name BBX_91719176

Correlation Rule These alarms will not be shown in the Alarm Manager if
they are cleared within 30 seconds. The alarm is usually cleared automatically
within this time period (noise level falls below threshold) so the correlation rule
significantly decreases the alarm volume.

Additional Suggestions In the event of a large number of alarms, the


operator disables the feature and checks the Reverse Channel threshold value.
Thus, you might want to create a rule that completely filters this alarm until the
inspection is completed.

Reverse Noise Rise Very High Alarm


Alarm ID 9150

Alarm Description A Reverse Noise Rise measurement exceeds a Reverse


Noise Rise threshold level.

Alarm Cause The BBX monitors and processes the Reverse Channel noise
level and the result is compared to a Reverse Channel threshold. When the
noise level exceeds the threshold, the BBX generates the alarm.

System Impact May decrease effective cell radius.

Correlation Rule Name CARRIER_9150

Correlation Rule These alarms will not be shown in the Alarm Manager if
they are cleared within 30 seconds. The alarm is usually cleared automatically
within this time period (noise level falls below threshold) so the correlation rule
significantly decreases the alarm volume.

4-12 UNO Core Features March 1, 2004


UNO 2.16.3 Chapter 4: Alarm Correlation

Reverse Noise Rise High Alarm


Alarm ID 9170

Alarm Description A Reverse Noise Rise measurement exceeds a Reverse


Noise Rise threshold level.

Alarm Cause The BBX monitors and processes the Reverse Channel noise
level and the result is compared to a Reverse Channel threshold. When the
noise level exceeds the threshold, the BBX generates the alarm.

System Impact May decrease effective cell radius.

Correlation Rule Name CARRIER_9170

Correlation Rule These alarms will not be shown in the Alarm Manager if
they are cleared within 30 seconds. The alarm is usually cleared automatically
within this time period (noise level falls below threshold) so the correlation rule
significantly decreases the alarm volume.

CCD 19 MHz Failure


Alarm ID 1601016012

Alarm Description The CCD failed to detect 19 MHz clock or all devices
in the cage failed to receive 19 MHz clock.

Alarm Cause Equipment alarm suggesting a major hardware failure of a


required piece of BTS equipment

System Impact Potential site outage.

Correlation Rule Name CCD_1601016012

Correlation Rule These alarms will be not be shown in the Alarm Manager
if they are cleared within 25 seconds. Within this time threshold, the BTS may
succeed in recovery attempt to prevent any other equipment from being
removed from service. The correlation rule prevents costly and
time-consuming inspection of cabling or replacement of the CCD unit.

Default Correlation Rules UNO 2.16.3

Shelf 19 MHz Clock Failure (CSM)


Alarm ID 1000010001

Alarm Description The active CSM received a clock failure signal from
one or more of the four shelves and the mate CSM is in standby state. This
alarm is also generated when an out-of-service or standby CSM receives the
clock failure signal.

Alarm Cause The alarm indicates a 19MHz Clock problem at the MCC,
BBX, BDC, or CSM devices or in the backplane or cabling.

System Impact None if a standby CSM is available. Otherwise, the alarm


causes a base station call processing outage.

Correlation Rule Name CSM_1000010001

Correlation Rule This alarm will not be shown in the Alarm Manager if it is
cleared within 20 seconds.

GPS Reference Source Failure


Alarm ID 10040

Your selection appears in the Selected Attribute field.
b. Click the Condition Drop-Down List and select the condition you want
to apply to the Selected Attribute
For Rule Element #1, the only condition available is Same Value.
This means that for the Alarm Correlation rule to hold, all alarms that
pass through the Rule Element filter after the first alarm must have the
same value of the Selected Attribute as the first alarm.
For example, assume you set Threshold Time to 5 seconds, Alarm
Number Setting to 4, and (after defining the filter) the Additional
Conditions to Same Value for the Severity alarm attribute. Assume
that the first alarm that passes through the filter has Major severity.
Then the Alarm Correlation rule will hold only when all alarms
(including the first one) pass through the filter within five seconds and
all alarms following the first one (alarms 2 to 4) have Major severity.
If any alarm does not have Major severity, the Alarm Correlation rule
does not hold.

Correlation rule to hold, all alarms generated as a result of the current rule ele-
ment must also have Major severity.
Different Value From An alarm that passes through the filter defined for the current rule element must

Set-Clear User Scenario UNO 2.16.3

Set-Clear User Scenario


Set-Clear is a typical scenario where an alarm is generated, but is automatically
cleared within seconds with no system impact. Without Alarm Correlation, all
these alarms appear in the Alarm Manager needlessly and when a meaningful
alarm does appear, it is difficult to isolate.
A typical Set-Clear scenario is illustrated by the CSM_10001 default
correlation rule supplied with the Alarm Correlation application. This rule
handles Shelf 19 MHz Clock FailureAlarm ID 10001. See Shelf 19 MHz
Clock Failure (CSM) on page 4-14 for a description of this alarm.
Typical alarm set/clear behavior is shown in Figure 4-19:

Seconds to Clearing

Figure 4-19: Typical Alarm Set-Clear Behavior

Most of the set-clear alarms are cleared within a short time when the failure
signal(s) is removed. For example, a redundant system may take active control,
thus minimizing service impact. Such alarms need not appear in the Alarm
Manager.

4-62 UNO Core Features March 1, 2004


UNO 2.16.3 Chapter 4: Alarm Correlation

Designing the Correlation Rule In designing a Set-Clear rule definition,


the goal is to prevent the arrival (to the Alarm Manager) of alarms from a
specific device that have been set and cleared within a specific time interval.
At minimum, the design of such a rule would require these parameters:
Time threshold setting
Set alarm filter
Clear alarm filter
Additional Conditions for Clear Alarm Rule Element
Order of alarm detection

Time Threshold Setting Adjust the time threshold according to your needs
for the specific alarm. In our example, any alarm that has not been cleared
within 20 seconds is considered significant and indicative of a device state that
can lead to high service impact.
If you have an alarm that you rarely consider significant, increase the time
threshold. The result is that the alarm rarely appears in the Alarm Manager.
On the other hand, if you have an alarm that indicates a high impact condition
after just a few seconds, decrease the time threshold setting to, for example,
five seconds or below.

Set Alarm Filter This filter is defined for detecting the Set of a specific alarm
and retaining it in the alarm correlation engine. In our example:
Device Type = CSM
Clear State = unCleared
Alarm ID = 10001

Clear Alarm Filter This filter is defined for detecting the Clear of the same
alarm as that of the Set Alarm filter. In our example:
Device Type = CSM
Clear State = cleared
Alarm ID = 10001
Notice that this definition of the Clear Alarm filter is not enough to properly
design the rule, since the filter definition does not isolate a specific device to
make sure that the arriving Clear finds its corresponding Set alarm. Additional
conditions must be added to the filter definition.

March 1, 2004 UNO Core Features 4-63


Set-Clear User Scenario UNO 2.16.3

Additional Conditions for Clear Alarm Filter The Clear alarm must be:
From the same device as that for the Set alarm
Of the same Event Type (such as equipment Alarm, environmental Alarm,
etc.) as the Set alarm

Order of Alarm Detection The Set Alarm filter is defined in the first Rule
Element (Rule Element #1), while the Clear Alarm filter is defined in the
second Rule Element (Rule Element #2). The Rule Element conditions must
always be satisfied in order, first Rule Element #1 and then Rule Element #2,
for the correlation rule to hold.
The procedures for defining these rule parameters are described in
Add and Modify on page 4-37.

Configuration
UNO Core Features

Important: UNO large scale alarm management is a licensed feature. To set


up the configuration you need to install UNO Optional License 4.

Large scale capacity allows you to monitor alarms through multiple UNO hosts
and use filters set up by other users, on other hosts. This chapter describes the
procedures required to activate this capacity for the Alarm Manager, Alarm
Browser and for large scale filter building.
The UNO large scale alarm management configuration consists of:
system configuration (by system administrator only)
user configuration (by administrator and user)
Once the large scale configuration is completed, you can:
add new hosts and filters to the configuration
copy the configuration to other hosts
remove the configuration from hosts
Large scale functions can be used in these UNO applications:
Alarm Manager
Alarm Browser
Filter Builder

March 1, 2004 UNO Core Features 5-1


General Description UNO 2.16.3

General Description
Large Scale Alarm Manager configuration enables access to alarm information
by monitoring alarms from multiple UNO hosts.
These are the setup and implementation stages of large scale alarm
management:
1. The UNO system administrator sets up permissions and connectivity for
multiple hosts to be available for the Large Scale Alarm Manager. This is
performed by manually adding UNO host information to specific files.
2. The administrator adds UNO hosts to the large scale system configuration.
This is set up in from the UNO application launcher, UNO Configuration
application, System Configuration option.
3. After the system configuration is completed, UNO users and permissions
can be defined for large scale alarm monitoring. This is done by both
administrator and user in the UNO Configuration application, Large Scale
User Configuration option.
4. The user then defines filters for multiple hosts in UNO Filter Builder large
scale mode. These filters are applied in the Alarm Manager and Alarm
Browser when in large scale mode.
Table 5-1 summarizes the Large Scale configuration procedures.

5-2 UNO Core Features March 1, 2004


UNO 2.16.3 Chapter 5: Large Scale Alarm Manager Configuration

The UNO hosts that are set up as a Large Scale configuration to monitor alarms
from the same agent, receive identical alarm sets. Efficiency can be increased
by setting up multiple sets of alarm filters, one for each UNO host. One filter
set is defined to receive alarms from the agent through the first UNO host; the
second filter set is defined to receive alarms from the agent through the second
UNO host.
Large Scale can be set up as a unidirectional or bidirectional connection, for
example:

uno1 uno2 uno1 uno2 uno1 uno2

A working Large Scale Alarm Manager performs these functions:

Integrates current alarms for multiple UNO hosts in Alarm Manager

Integrates historic alarms across multiple UNO hosts in Alarm Browser

Defines filters at multiple UNO hosts in Filter Builder


Supports filters that work across multiple UNO hosts

Supports returning to the original configuration at


startup (persistent startup)

Supports automatic recovery of connection to UNO


hosts

The UNO hosts can include any UNO release from UNO 2.2. The upper
capacity of 10,000 alarms per host is unchanged. Large Scale configuration
supports all 2.16.x release agents.

Connection between hosts is restored automatically. If the


connection between one of the UNO hosts and an agent is lost, you
can transfer the filter set definition for the UNO host that lost the
connection, to the other UNO host.

System Configuration Setup UNO 2.16.3

System Configuration Setup


This section provides the procedure for the tasks described in stage no.1 in the
General Description, on page 5-2.

Important: Only the UNO system administrator can configure and maintain
the Large Scale System Configuration for alarm monitoring.

Connecting Multiple Hosts


Note: Before starting this procedure, you should contact your site administrator
to confirm that communication between the UNO hosts is set up. There
is a possibility of communication loss, for example due to a firewall or
system configuration.
If an UNO host does not appear in the Large Scale Alarm Manager, a
permission must be received before the host machine can be added from the
command line. This procedure is applicable for multiple UNO hosts, and the
default configuration manager is the local UNO host.
first_UNO_host (uno1) is the host on which the user is working.
second_UNO_host (uno2) is the host to which the user wants to connect.
Steps 1 through 4 are performed from the first UNO host (uno1).
Steps 5 through 7 are performed from the second UNO host (uno2).
These procedures are also necessary if you are operating Large Scale alarm
management from an UNO workstation. In this case, steps 1 through 3 are
performed for the workstation and steps 4 through 7 are performed for UNO
hosts connected to the workstation.

To Add a Second UNO Host

FROM UNO1:

1. Open a UNIX terminal window on the first UNO host


2. In the /etc/hosts file, add the second UNO host IP address and name:
<IP_address> <second_UNO_host_name>

For example: 222.222.222.22 uno2


The connectivity between hosts is established.

5-4 UNO Core Features March 1, 2004


UNO 2.16.3 Chapter 5: Large Scale Alarm Manager Configuration

3. To add a second UNO host, you must first configure Informix:


To connect the second UNO host to Informix, in the
/usr/informix/etc/sqlhosts file add the second UNO host name and
connection by inserting this line:
<second_UNO_host_name> ontlitcp <second_UNO_host_name>
sqlexec

For example: uno2 ontlitcp uno2 sqlexec


Informix is configured.

FROM UNO2:

4. Open a UNIX terminal window on the second UNO host


5. In the /etc/hosts file, add the first UNO host IP address and name:
<IP_adress> <first_UNO_host_name>

For example: 111.111.111.11 uno1


The connectivity between hosts is established.
Note: Step 6 requires administrator login.
6. In the second UNO host machine administrator host directory:
/home1/unoadmin/.rhosts
add the first UNO host name and administrator login by inserting this line:
<first_UNO_host_name> unoadmin

For example: uno1 unoadmin


This adds the standard UNO user permissions to connect the first UNO
host to the second UNO host.
Note: Step 7 requires user login.
7. In the second UNO user host directory,
/home1/<your_user_name>/.rhosts, add the first UNO host and your user
name by inserting this line:
<first_UNO_host_name> <your_user_name>

For example: uno1 john


This adds the private user permissions to connect the first UNO host to the
second UNO host. You can now work in Alarm Manager on the first UNO
host and view the second UNO host.

Chapter 6: Alarm Browser


UNO Core Features

The Alarm Browser application enables you to monitor and display historical
alarms, that is alarms that are no longer active. The Large Scale Alarm
Browser can perform these same tasks as the Alarm Browser:
Display historical alarm attributes
Operate in fault management or performance management modes
Customize display fields and field labels
Print alarms in graphic or text format
Customize alarm filtering
Find alarms using predefined search criteria
Display online alarm documentation
Interface with other Universal Network Operation (UNO) applications,
third-party external applications, and tools or add-on external applications

Description
The Alarm Browser lets you view alarms stored in the historical alarm
database. The Alarm Browser is similar to the Alarm Manager (see Alarm
Manager on page 3-1), but since the Alarm Browser displays only historical
alarms, certain options available in the Alarm Manager are not available in the
Alarm Browser.

UNO 2.16.3 Chapter 6: Alarm Browser

Interface
The Alarm Browser displays inactive Common Management Information
Protocol (CMIP) events and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
alarm traps. You can configure the Alarm Browser to suit specific
requirements.
The Alarm Summary table and bar chart present tabular and graphical summary
information on the alarms reported in the system, sorted by severity. The
Alarm List presents individual alarm information in tabular form. See Main
Dialog Box on page 6-9.
The user interfaces with the Alarm Browser by mouse and keyboard to select
options and enter text. Mouse shortcuts are provided for certain actions. See
Mouse Shortcuts on page 6-64.
The interface displays in either Alarm Browser or Alarm Manager mode.

Alarms
There are two types of alarms in the UNO system:
Active AlarmsAlarms of current interest
Historical AlarmsAlarms stored for viewing alarm behavior over a
period of time.
An alarm is considered active from the time it arrives and is registered by the
Alarm Engine until the alarm is cleared, when it becomes an historical alarm.
Both types of alarms are stored in the Alarm Database. Only historical alarms
are displayed in the Alarm Browser.
Alarms in the UNO system are classified into five types:
Communications
Environmental
Equipment
Processing error
Quality of service
Each event type has its own set of alarm attributes. Alarm fields not relevant to
the event type are left blank.
All alarms are identified according to a color coded severity level. See Device
State Default Colors in Command Center. Command Center Suite. 3-33.

March 1, 2004 UNO Core Features 6-3


Alarms UNO 2.16.3

Alarm Engine
The Alarm Engine is the UNO process that receives, stores, and transfers
alarms. The Alarm Engine:
Receives alarms from agents, parses the alarms, and stores them in the
Alarm Database
Transfers the alarms to the Alarm Browser and other applications.
Transfers information to and from the Alarm Database, from where the
Alarm Browser accesses historical alarms.

Alarm Database
The Alarm Database contains alarms received and processed by the Alarm
Engine. Active and historical alarms are stored in this database.
Figure 3-2, Alarm Handling, on page 3-4 shows how the Alarm Browser
retrieves historical alarm data from the Alarm Database for display.

Alarm Life Cycle


UNO supports monitoring of the entire system from a central location by
combining alarms from multiple platforms. Alarm handling is shown in
Figure 3-1, Alarm Life Cycle, on page 3-3 and Table 3-1, Alarm Life
Cycle, on page 3-3.

Chapter 7: Historical Alarm Reports


UNO Core Features

Historical Alarm Reports is an application for creating reports on


historical alarms.
You can create historical alarm reports for all alarms and you can review alarm
summaries. The reports contain information about devices, device types, alarm
severity, the total number of alarms per device and other data.
Historical alarms are maintained in the historical database. The alarms in this
database are alarms which longer flow in your system. Unlike active alarms
viewed in the Alarm Manager, alarms in the Historical Alarm Database cannot
be acknowledged or cleared.

Invoking Historical Alarm Reports


You can invoke Historical Alarm Reports from:
The UNO Application Launcher
Other applications Alarm Manager or Alarm Browser
A command line
Command Center, from where you can run severity reports; see Complete
Severity Report in Table 3-279 on page 3-294 in Command Center.

Features UNO 2.16.3

Features
PM Measurements & Alarms expands and improves the usability of the UNO
performance management thresholding functionality. PM Measurements &
Alarms is used to:
Define PM measurements for system performance monitoring
Set up and edit alarm threshold definitions on defined PM measurements
Device-independent threshold definitions
Device-dependent threshold definitions
In addition to the main PM Measurements & Alarms functions of defining
measurements and thresholds, the application also provides direct access to the
PM Statistics Graphs application to view PM statistics for a device in a
graphical display. The graphical display facilitates comparison of statistics on
several measurements. For a full description, see PM Statistics Graphs. PM
Enhanced Applications.

PMT Basic Concepts


This section provides theoretical background on PMT. These concepts
are explained:
Monitored data and their domains
PMT alarms
User-defined measurement types
Threshold definition parameters
Statistical calculations
Historical data repository

Monitored Data and Their Domains


PMT is the ability to generate PMT alarms based on a comparison between PM
data (monitored values) and PM thresholds (threshold definitions).
PM Measurements & Alarms functionality allows you to stay informed of
exceptional occurrences on key PMT measurements. When the monitored
value of a specific PMT measurement crosses a defined threshold, an alarm
is generated.
The two domains of monitored PM data are:
PM Statistical data (record types from 01 to 89)
CFC (CDL)-derived data (record type 98)

9-2 UNO Core Features March 1, 2004


UNO 2.16.3 Chapter 9: PM Measurements & Alarms

Data of both domains reside in the UNO Manager, in the omcpm_<agent_id>


Informix database. The data are organized in the pmC_<record_type>_hr
table.
The PMT functionality is activated at UNO initialization and performs these
tasks automatically:
Monitors PM data every half hour
Monitors CFC (CDL) data every fifteen minutes
Runs unattended, using threshold definitions that are defined in the
PM Measurements & Alarms GUI

PMT Alarms
When crossing a predefined threshold is detected on a monitored value, the
UNO PMT functionality issues an alarm (referred to as the PMT Alarm). This
alarm specifies the parameters and time of occurrence of the detected deviation.

Alarm Attributes
The PMT functionality generates alarms by submitting messages (in
proprietary format) to the OMC-R platform. A CMIP Agent is responsible for
resending standard Quality of Service Alarms from the OMC-R platform back
to the UNO Manager. The main attributes of a PMT alarm are:

counter_id The PMT measurement that crosses the threshold.


device The specific device to which the PMT measurement relates.
instance

collection The start of the interval for which a PMT measurement was
interval collected for PM Statistical data or CFC (CDL) data. The
collection interval is identified by the hour:minute
(hh:mm) format.

For the same combination of PMT measurement and device instance, the PMT
functionality generates:
For PM Statistical data: a maximum of one alarm per 30-minute interval
For CFC (CDL)-derived data: a maximum of one alarm per
15-minute interval

Note: counter_id identifies the PMT measurement that is flagged with an

Alarms Occurring in Successive Time Periods


If a PMT measurement crosses a threshold value in successive time periods on
the same device, the PMT functionality resends the same PMT alarm with an
updated collection-interval value for each period. Two fields in the
th_sys_config table are used to define the parameters of successive alarms:
realarm_countdefines the condition for increasing the severity level,
in case the alarm persists
Definition: Number of successive periods flagged with an alarm resulting
in severity level increment
Example: if the realarm_count is set at 5, and alarms of Minor severity
occur for 5 consecutive periods on the same device, then the 5th alarm will
have Major severity.

9-6 UNO Core Features March 1, 2004


UNO 2.16.3 Chapter 9: PM Measurements & Alarms

resend_severdefines the condition for resending a persistent alarm


Definition: Minimal severity level required for a persistent alarm (occurs
in more than one period) to be resent in every successive period
Example: Assume that Major alarm severity on a device is coded as the
value 3, and Minor severity is coded as the value 2. If the resend_sever
value for that device is 4, the alarm is not resent, since the minimal severity
level has not been reached (4>2 and 4>3).

User-Defined Measurement Types


PM Measurements & Alarms allows you to define thresholds for any single,
collected peg. In addition, it can be useful to monitor system performance
based on a user-defined measurement calculated from a raw set of pegs. It is
these user-defined measurements that are compared with thresholds.
Using the PM Measurements & Alarms GUI, you specify the SQL SELECT
statement needed to calculate the threshold measurement from the raw pegs.
The definition is stored in the th_formulae_db table.
Two types of user-defined measurements can be defined:
Value
Percentage

Value
The Value-type user-defined measurement (that is being regularly compared
with the thresholds), is calculated according to an SQL formula as defined in
the PM Measurements & Alarms setup.
Table 9-2 shows the format of the Value-type SQL formula.

Note: Each monitored value is associated with a device. This means that
when a monitored value reaches the alarm condition (by crossing a
threshold), the PM alarm is generated for the associated device.

Percentage
The Percentage-type user-defined measurement is calculated as:
PercentageMonitoredValue := RateMonitoredValue x 100

This is an example of Percentage-type measurement information.

PMT Basic Concepts UNO 2.16.3

PM Threshold Types
The types of PM thresholds are:
MinMax Thresholdan absolute threshold in which the alarm condition
is met if the monitored value is greater than the maximum, or less than the
minimum value. Either the maximum or the minimum threshold may be
left undefined, but not both
Base Value Thresholda statistical threshold (see Statistical
Thresholds on page 9-11) in which the alarm condition is met if the
deviation of the currently monitored value from the given Base Value is
greater than the estimated maximal probable deviation. Estimating is done
on the basis of historical data for the measurement, using a Maximal
Standard Deviation parameter
Average-Based Value Thresholda statistical threshold (see
Statistical Thresholds on page 9-11) in which the alarm condition is met
if the monitored values deviation from an internally kept average value is
greater than the estimated maximal probable deviation. Historical data for
a measurement are used for estimating both maximal deviation and
Average-Based value

Threshold Scope
Threshold scope can be defined as:
Device-independent
Device-dependent
Any given threshold is always associated with a particular monitored PM
measurement or value. In other words, the monitored values are compared with
the associated threshold definition to detect deviations from desired behavior.

Device-Independent Thresholding All monitored measurements,


regardless of the device instance, are compared with the associated
threshold definition.

Device-Dependent Thresholding Only the monitored measurements


emanating from a specific device instance are compared with the associated
threshold definition.
When both device-independent and device-dependent thresholds exist for the
same measurement, the device-dependent thresholds always override the
device-independent thresholds.

9-10 UNO Core Features March 1, 2004


UNO 2.16.3 Chapter 9: PM Measurements & Alarms

Also, while multiple thresholds can be defined per measurement within the
device-dependent scope, only one threshold can be defined per measurement
within the device-independent scope.

Statistical Thresholds
When either Base Value or Average-Based Value (statistical) thresholds are
defined, PMT uses historical data that are kept for the monitored value (see
Historical Data Repository on page 9-13). All historically kept data are
represented as Average Value and Standard Deviation.

Average Value Average Value is an estimated, simple mean value (the


expected value) of the set of monitored measurements that are under PM
thresholding surveillance.

Standard Deviation Standard Deviation is an estimated value of the degree


of dispersion (second central moment) of the normal distribution of monitored
measurement values.
Both values are stored with all measurements on all device instances, as
separate 48 estimations corresponding to 48 half-hourly periods.
Example: Using this statistical model, the monitored value from the period
starting today at 6.00 p.m. is being added cumulatively (totalized) to data that
have been collected for the same interval from yesterday, two days ago, one
week ago and so on.

Weighted Method of Calculating Historical Value


The weighted method is used in statistical comparisons where both historical
and recent values are taken into account for the purpose of creating statistical
parameters. Either recent or historical value can be promoted, using this
approach. The formula for calculating Historical Value is:
HistoricalValue = CurrentValue * W + HistoricalValue * (1 - W)

where W represents the relative weight of current value in the newly calculated
Historical Value:
W=1 / ( 1 + N_days )
If number_of_days < NUMBER_OF_IMPORTANT_DAYS
then N_days=number_of_days
otherwise N_days=NUMBER_OF_IMPORTANT_DAYS
number_of_days is the number of samples for the specific time interval.

March 1, 2004 UNO Core Features 9-11


PMT Basic Concepts UNO 2.16.3

PMT uses two weighing parameters: one parameter for totalizing averages and
the second for totalizing standard deviations. For this purpose different values
of NUMBER_OF_IMPORTANT_DAYS for average and standard deviation are used.
These defaults are:
10in Average calculation (n_zero in the th_sys_config table);
15in Standard Deviation calculation (n_one in the th_sys_config table).

Setting Threshold Limits


Both the Base Value and Average-Based Value threshold types define limits
that are not an absolute value of the monitored measurement X (as in the
MinMax threshold type), but that represent the probability of getting a
particular value x.
PMT calculates Xmin and Xmax, that is, the absolute limits, using the preset
Error Rate, ex. At the minimum ex = 0.01, the range of X (Xmin to Xmax) will
be the widest possible. By increasing ex, you are tightening the tolerance limits
imposed on the monitored measurements. Consequently, more alarms will be
generated by the system.
This is the difference between Base Value and Average-Based Value
thresholding:

Base Value User supplies the Base for the calculation of Xmin and Xmax

Average-Based The historically kept Average is used

You can compare a monitored measurement to be compared to only Xmin, only


Xmax or to both. In other words, you can set alarm activation when a
monitored measurement falls below Xmin only (regardless of the upper limit),
exceeds Xmax only (regardless of the lower limit) or activate an alarm when
the measurement either falls below Xmin or exceeds Xmax. This determines
whether monitored values that are smaller or greater than the Base or
Average-Based value will activate an alarm.
Note: Specifying alarm activation does not influence the values of Xmin and
Xmax. These values are estimated using only the historically-kept
Standard Deviation and ex.

Historical Data Repository


To support the required calculations with statistical (Base Value and
Average-Based Value) methods, PMT stores Average, Standard Deviation and a
number of processed samples for 48 periods for each relevant counter_id and
device_id. These samples are stored in the history_totals table of
pmthresh Informix database.

Required Size of Data Repository


PMT creates two historical entries for each measurement on each device
instance, one for a workday and one for a non-work day.
The total number of records in the pmthresh:history_totals table must not
exceed the physical limit imposed by the disk space that is available on your
system.

March 1, 2004 UNO Core Features 9-13


Working with PM Measurements & Alarms UNO 2.16.3

To estimate the required size of the data repository, use the following equation:

2x
S ( n devices m counters ) all devices Limit

where:
N devices - is the total number of all instances of a certain device type
M counters - is the number of measurements on this device type
for example:
2 x (NcarrMcarr_counters + NcbscMcbsc_counters + )<= Limit

Maximum Value
enter a value for each of the three time periods: Work Day, Non-Work Day
and Night.

Important: MinMax values and Error Rate/Base values are mutually


exclusive. If you define both, an error message shows. This is
because MinMax values are absolute, and the Error Rate/Base
values are relative (statistical) values (see page 9-10).

6. If you defined an Error Rate value for each Time Period, you can
optionally enter a Base Value for each of the same time periods: Work
Day, Non-Work Day and Night.

7. To enable alarming, check the Alarming On check button


When the Alarming ON button is checked, threshold definition fields are
enabled. If the Alarming On button is unchecked, you cannot define any
thresholds.

Note: If the Alarming On button is unchecked, you cannot define any


thresholds.
8. In at least one of the following fields:
Error Rate/Base Value
Minimum Value
Maximum Value
enter a value for each of the three time periods: Work Day, Non-Work Day
and Night.

Important: MinMax values and Error Rate/Base values are mutually


exclusive. If you define both, an error message shows. This is
because MinMax values are absolute, and the Error Rate/Base
values are relative (statistical) values(see page 9-10).

9. If you defined an Error Rate value for each Time Period, you can
optionally enter a Base Value for each of the same time periods: Work
Day, Non-Work Day and Night.
Note: The current valid Work and Non-Work Day and Night time periods
are those which are defined in the Date/Time Setup, see
Date/Time Setup for Thresholding on page 9-69. If you have not
set these up, default time definitions will be used: Saturday and
Sunday for Non-Work Days; hours 23:00 to 06:00 for Night Time.
When you enter a value in the Base Value fields, you must also enter a
value in the Error Rate field.

10. If you entered a Error Rate value, select a Deviation Direction for each
of the three time periods. From the drop-down menu, select one of these
options:
More
Less
Both
Note: Deviation Direction defines the direction of the deviation from the
user defined Base Value that generates the alarms. In other words,
if the value of the counter deviates from the user defined Base
Value in the specified direction, an alarm is generated.
Only when you enter the Error Rate values, the Apply button is enabled.
11. From the Severity field, click Minor or Major button to select the required
alarm severity
The generated alarm will have the severity level that you define. Your
setup is now completed.

12. Click Apply to add the new threshold definition to the Device Dependent
table, while remaining in the current dialog box
You can continue to add more new thresholds.
13. When done, click Ok to exit the dialog box
The Add Threshold dialog box closes The new threshold is added to the

Cloning Device-Dependent Thresholds


Viewing/Editing, deleting and viewing definition details, setting date/time,
invoking PM Statistics Graphs and setting report outputs are the same for
device dependent thresholds as for all other PM Measurements & Alarms tab
tables. However, unlike other items, the device dependent thresholds can be
cloned.
The PM Measurements & Alarms cloning function allows the threshold setup
to be created only once and then to be applied to a large set of instances. This
way you can quickly generate a set of identical thresholds to work on several
devices, without having to manually enter the same data for each device
dependent threshold.

To Open Clone Threshold Dialog Box

1. From the Device Dependent tab table (Figure 9-22), select an item you
want to clone
The selected item is highlighted.
Note: You can select only one item at a time.
2. From the PM Measurements & Alarms Actions menu, select

you can define the destination of the new threshold.
The Source Device/Measurement panel, which contains the definition of the
threshold you selected for cloning, is disabled (grayed out). This is because you
want to retain exactly the same definition for the new, cloned threshold.

Operators Guidelines
Important: To ensure that PMT is functional, perform the complete check as
described in Operators Check List.

Operators Check List


Ensure that these resident processes are running on the UNO Manager:

Process Process Name

PMT Engine uno_pmt_engine

PMT Agent Link uno_pmt_aglink

PMT Data Reader uno_pmt_reader

Note: You should have at least one instance of PMT Data Reader for each
OMC-R agent. This process runs with a single numeric parameter;
the Agent ID. Running more than four instances of PMT Data
Readers for the same agent, could cause some problems.
Ensure that fresh data is written into the pmthresh:history_totals
table at least every thirty minutes.
Ensure that there is no data overflow and sufficient storage space is
available in the pmthresh:history_totals table.
Check that there are alarm records in the pmthresh:th_alarm_log table,
to ensure that alarm generating is functional.

Verifications
This section provides some PMT MOL scripts and other useful SQL queries, to
use when needed. Use dbaccess utility for entering these queries.

To Check Counters/Device With Alarming On

Enter: /opt/UNO/mol/pmt_counter -t y

To Check Counters on a Device Type (X)

Enter: /opt/UNO/mol/pmt_counter -d <device_type

To Check Counters Not Covered By history_totals

Enter: echo unique counter_id from stat_alarm_values where


counter_id not in (select unique counter_id from
history_totals) and alarming type !=3|dbaccess pmthresh

To Check Devices Not Covered by history_totals

Enter: echo select unique device_id from stat_alarm_values


where device_id not in (select unique device_id from
history_totals)|dbaccess pmthresh

To Check Possible Overflow in history_totals

Check the UNO Alarm Manager for PMT Monitor Alarm.

Removing PMT history_totals Overflow


If the PMT functionality detects an overflow condition in the pmthresh table,
the PMT engine submits an alarm. When data overflow is detected in
history_totals, follow this procedure to remove the condition:

To Remove the history_totals Overflow Condition


1. Recalculate the amount of historical information driven for PMT
measurements that exist in the system, on the basis of instances for all
statistical devices
2. In order to suppress driving new historical data:

9-94 UNO Core Features March 1, 2004


UNO 2.16.3 Chapter 9: PM Measurements & Alarms

Remove all statistical measurements of secondary importance from the


stat_alarm_values table or use MinMax thresholding
Set stat_ctr.history_flag to zero
3. Stop the UNO system
4. Perform a history_totals purge by removing records related to the
counters which you deactivated in step 2
5. Restart the UNO system

PMT Monitoring Database and Setup


This section describes the database and setup for PM Measurements & Alarms
threshold monitoring. The pmthresh Informix database, located on the UNO

the PM Measurements & Alarms user interface sessions. Tables residing in the
pmthresh database contain:
Static Setup Information
Dynamic Processed Data

Caution: Do not edit or in any way directly change the contents of the
pmthresh database. Doing so could destroy the information
stored in this database. Use only the PM Measurements & Alarms
GUI to change setup or parameters. Any change of contents of
the pmthresh database requires restarting the UNO system.

Chapter 10: PM Reports


The purpose of Performance Management (PM) Reports is to gather and
present comprehensive information about the many aspects of the cellular
network performance. The reports are classified in categories based on
measurable performance standards, for example: network availability,
congestion, call completion, dropped call rate. You can schedule, run, view and
compare a variety of reports, based on current or historical data.
The first part of this chapter describes the PM Reports application for
UNOSoftware Release 2.16.3. You will learn how to perform these tasks:
Invoke PM Reports locally and from a remote workstation

General Description UNO 2.16.3

Report Status Color Coding


All reports displaying in the PM Reports summaries are color-coded to provide
a fast way to identify the current status or processing stage. The color code is
standard for all reports.
Colors shown in Table 10-1 are system default colors. These colors cannot be
changed, as they are hard-coded into the system and are common to other UNO
applications, for example Alarm Manager, Software Download Manager and
Command Center. Table 10-1 lists eight colors which represent the stages of
report processing.

Table 10-1: PM Reports Status Color Coding

Report Status Color Name Color Sample Description

Completed - Single Green Report that has executed on a single agent,


is completed.

Completed - Multiple Cyan Report that has executed on several agents,


is completed.

Running - Single White Report is now executing on a single agent.

Running - Multiple Yellow Report is now executing on several agents.

Aborted Magenta A running report has been stopped.

Failed - Single Red Report that has run on a single agent, failed
to complete execution.

Failed - Multiple Orange Report that has run on several agents,


failed to complete execution.

Running Retry Blue Failed report is being rerun.

Note: Colors shown in this table may not be identical to the colors that you see
on your system, since color display depends on:
How colors are defined in your system
The computer resources that are available for display purposes
The kind of monitor that your system uses and its Gamma settings

information. Configuring the report summary tables allows you to include or
exclude information, as required by the task at hand.
Using the Table Properties dialog box, you can define which report attributes to
display in the table columns and in what order. This preliminary action ensures
that you find the information that is relevant to your task quickly and easily, in
each summary table. By configuring table properties in advance, you can also

Typically, table properties are set according to the type of report that is to be
scheduled or according to your viewing priorities.
- The same fields (Use Defaults, Visible, Default and User Defined) display
in all tabs but the lists of columns are different, since the
parameters/columns vary for each tab/table.
- You cannot add to or subtract from the table properties columns listed in

Time Period Tab


In the Schedule Report Execution dialog box Time Period tab, you define the
period of time that data will be gathered for the report. You can use one of these
two methods to define Time Period:
Choosing one of the four Last...(hours, days, weeks, month) options
or
Defining the exact time period, using the User Defined data entry fields
Note: Last and User Defined modes are mutually exclusive.
These options provide you with maximum flexibility when scheduling.
To limit the report running time and to ensure that you get relevant results,
remember to correlate the values you define in this tab with the Report Type
you have defined.
For example: If you have selected a Half Hourly report type for a report, then
if your data collection time period is a month, the report may be too detailed
and will run for a long time.

Scheduling PM Reports in Group Reports Mode


This section describes the PM Reports Group Reports mode and main window
Groups menu options that enable you to define and run groups of reports.
In this mode, several reports are grouped under one name and share the same
execution schedule although the parameters for each group member report are
set up individually, just as single reports. In addition to saving time by
scheduling once for several reports, the Group Reports mode provides an
effective configuration method to receive related data for comparison. The user
who sets up the group is the group owner. The number of group reports that a
single user can set up, is limited.

Group Reports Mode


To work with group reports, you must first switch to the Group Reports mode.

the method used to invoke the Filter Builder (see Launching the Filter
Builder on page 11-5). When invoked from the Application Launcher, the
title bar will display: UNO Filter Builder [userlevel@hostname], for example:
UNO Filter Builder [unoadmin@baritone]. When invoked from another filter
based application or from the command line using the -a switch, the title bar
will display: user privilege level, host, and application from where the Filter
Builder was invoked, for example: UNO Filter Builder [unoadmin@baritone]
<OMCR Relay>.
The user interface with the Filter Builder is by mouse and keyboard to enter
information, select options, and open dialog boxes for more specific actions.
Mouse shortcuts are also provided for certain actions, see Mouse Shortcuts
on page 11-64.

Filters
Alarms can arrive at the UNO system at the rate of 20,000 alarms per hour. As
this rate is too high to allow you to concentrate effectively on a specific
management task, an alarm filter lets you reduce that rate by admitting only
those alarms that you determine are relevant to your current needs.
An alarm filter is a collection of pass/fail values for individual alarm attributes.
When an alarm is filtered, each alarm attribute is scanned and its attribute value
is compared with the filter criterion for that attribute. If the alarm passes all the
attribute values, the alarm passes the filter.

UNO 2.16.3 Chapter 11: Filter Builder

Filter Properties
Each filter has a basic group of properties that characterize the filter:
Name
Scope
Application

Filter Name
Each filter has a unique name, normally indicative of the filter function,
assigned by the operator.

Filter Scope
These two types of filter scopes refer to the level of user who can use the filter:
Publicall users
PrivateAvailable only to current user.
Only unoadmin can define both Public and a Private filters. Other users can
define only a Private filter.

Filter Applications
Filters are built for use in:
Alarm Manager and Large Scale Alarm Manager
Alarm Browser and Large Scale Alarm Browser
BTS Relays
OMCR Relays
Central Alarm Acknowledge Handling
Alarm Notification
Alarm Correlation
UNO uses filters specific to these applications:
CommonA filter built for use in the Alarm Manager, Alarm Browser,
and BTS Relays applications
OMCR RelaysA filter built for use in the OMCR Relays application
Alarm NotificationA filter built for Alarm Notification
Alarm CorrelationA filter built for Alarm Correlation

Filters UNO 2.16.3

Filter Type
There are three supported filter types:
Regular filter
Complex filterA filter built from several regular filters on the same
manager. A user can save previously defined complex filters.
Large scale filterA filter built from regular filters on different UNO
hosts, only available in Large Scale Filter Builder if licensed.
Note: It is recommended that there be no more than three large scale filters.

DefaultFilter
The DefaultFilter is the system defined default filter. If no other filter is
defined and used in your system, this is the filter that will operate on incoming
alarms. The default filter (DefaultFilter) passes all alarm information for all
agents and devices/cells.

Filter Builder Modes


The Filter Builder operates in two modes:
Regular Modefilters from the local UNO host only
Large Scale Modefilters from all UNO hosts defined in the Large
Scale Configuration

View Functions
The OMCR GUI interfaces directly with the Filter Builder and Alarm Manager
to execute all View functions of OMCR Relays.

Action Functions
All Actions on OMCR relays are performed through the OMCR Relay Engine,
which interfaces between the OMCR Relays GUI and the OMCR relays in the
OMCR agent. In the OMCR agent-to-OMCR Relays GUI direction, the
OMCR Relay Engine reads OMCR relay device information and updates the
OMCR Relays GUI. In the OMCR Relays GUI-to-OMCR agent direction,
the OMCR Relay Engine controls OMCR relay according to UNO Manager
Alarm and Filter data set with the OMCR Relays GUI.

12-2 UNO Core Features March 1, 2004


UNO 2.16.3 Chapter 12: OMCR Relays

Startup
At UNO Manager startup, the OMCR Relay Engine reads device information
from the Device Information Database, which contains all information on
OMCR relays controlled by the UNO Manager. The OMCR Relay Engine
selects these relays and updates the OMCR Relay Database accordingly. The
OMCR Relays GUI reads and displays the device information from the
OMCR Relay Database.
At UNO Manager startup, the OMCR Relay Engine also resets the alarm count
to zero and sets the operational state to OFF for all OMCR relays (except those
that have previously been disabled). The OMCR Relay Engine updates the
OMCR Relays GUI display accordingly.

Filter Settings and Alarms


Filter settings are sent from the OMCR Relays GUI to the OMCR Relay
Engine. The OMCR Relay Engine updates the OMCR Relay
Database accordingly.
Alarms received by the UNO Manager from the OMCR agent that pass through
the applied filter are sent to the OMCR Relay Engine. The OMCR Relay
Engine turns the OMCR relay ON when the number of alarms increments to a
value greater or equal to one (1). The OMCR Relay Engine turns the OMCR
relay OFF when the number of alarms decrements to zero (0). The OMCR
Relay Engine also updates the OMCR Relays GUI.

OMCR Relay Operational State


You can manually change the OMCR-relay operational state by performing
actions on the OMCR-relay operational state with the OMCR Relays GUI.
These manual actions are sent to the OMCR Relay Engine. The OMCR Relay
Engine sets the OMCR-relay operation accordingly. The OMCR Relay Engine
receives an acknowledgment from the OMCR relay and updates the OMCR
Relays GUI.
The OMCR-relay operational state is also changed automatically by the OMCR
Relay Engine when alarms are cleared and uncleared. When an alarm is
cleared, the OMCR Relay Engine automatically turns the OMCR relay OFF.
When an alarm is uncleared, the OMCR Relay Engine turns the OMCR
relay ON.

March 1, 2004 UNO Core Features 12-3


Overview UNO 2.16.3

Limitations
This section provides the conditions and limitations for OMCR-relay setup.

OMCR Agent Configuration


For OMCR relays to be controlled by OMCR Relays, their OMCR agents must
be configured to have the relays under UNO Manager control. An OMCR
relay whose OMCR agent has not been so configured will not be listed in the
OMCR Relay Control dialog box (Figure 12-3, OMCR Relay Control Dialog
Box, on page 12-8).
You can verify the OMCR-agent relay configuration only at the OMCR agent.
To verify the relay configuration, check the Relay_Mode variable on the
OMCR agent. The Relay_Mode variable defines if the OMCR relay is
controlled by the UNO Manager or by SC-UNO.
Note: If no OMCR agents have been configured to have their relays
controlled by the UNO Manager, a message appears to this effect when
OMCR Relays is invoked.

Filter Definition
For alarms to be counted in OMCR Relays, the Alarm State parameters of the
filters must have these settings:
Clear State set to unCleared
OR
Acknowledge State set to unAcked
OR
Both of the above
The Alarm State parameters of the filters are set with the Filter Builder. See
Alarm States on page 11-39.

12-4 UNO Core Features March 1, 2004


UNO 2.16.3 Chapter 12: OMCR Relays

Operation
This section describes the OMCR Relay Engine operations.

Refresh
The OMCR Relay Engine (see Figure 12-1, on page 12-2) constantly checks
the contents of the Device Information Database and updates the OMCR Relay
Database and OMCR Relay GUI accordingly.
During ongoing operations, the contents of the Device Information Database
may undergo these changes:
An OMCR relay may be removed from the Device Information Database
when the UNO Manager no longer communicates with the OMCR agent
with the relay
An OMCR relay may be added to the Device Information Database
When an OMCR relay is removed from the Device Information Database, the
OMCR Relay Engine performs these actions:
Sets the Current State of the OMCR relay to NOT ALIVE (see Table 12-3,
OMCR Relay Parameters, on page 12-9)
Sets the Alarms Count to Zero (0)
When an OMCR relay is added to the Device Information Database, the
OMCR Relay Engine performs these actions:
Adds the OMCR relay to the OMCR Relay Parameter Table (see
Table 12-2, OMCR Relay Control Dialog Box Elements, on page 12-8)
Sets the Current State of the OMCR relay to OFF
Sets the Alarms Count to Zero (0)
Note: Filters must be applied manually (see Filter Setting on page 12-16).

March 1, 2004 UNO Core Features 12-5


Overview UNO 2.16.3

Alarm Counter
The OMCR Relays alarm counter works only when the Alarm State parameters
of the applied filter are set as described in Filter Definition on page 12-4.

Increasing Alarm Counter


The alarm counter value increases by one under these conditions:
A new alarm has passed through the applied filter
An acknowledged alarm that has passed through the filter has
become unacknowledged

Decreasing Alarm Counter


The alarm counter value decreases by one under these conditions:
An alarm that has passed through the filter is cleared
An alarm that has passed through the filter is acknowledged

Restoring Connection to OMCR Relay Engine


If the OMCR Relays application loses its connection to the Relay Engine, a
Question asking if you want to restore the connection appears as in Figure 12-2.

Figure 12-2: Reconnect Question

To Restore the Connection to the OMCR Relay Engine

From the Reconnect Question, click Yes


The connection between the OMCR Relays GUI and the OMCR Relay
Engine is restored. The OMCR Relay Engine performs as in Startup (see
Startup on page 12-3).

UNO 2.16.3 Chapter 13: Element Manager Access

Connecting a Remote Host from UNO Applications


The Alarm Manager, Alarm Browser and Command Center applications enable
you to access remote hosts while working in these applications. The procedure
is not the same as accessing the remote host directly from the
Element Manager.
When accessing the remote host from Element Manager Access, the user is
asked to enter the IP address of the remote host in order to create a connection
to this remote host. After the IP address has been entered, a connection is
created. See Setting Up Your Remote Environment on page 13-4. and
Accessing an External Host on page 13-6.
In contrast, accessing a remote host from a UNO application is a two step
process. This section will explain how to create a connection to an IWU TCM
remote host using the Alarm Manager as an example.
Figure 13-12 shows how to invoke the Element Manager from the
Alarm Manager.

required. Agent Connectivity. UNO Software Installation Guide explains
how to connect and activate agents to enable communication with the
UNO Manager.

March 1, 2004 UNO Core Features 13-11


Connecting a Remote Host from UNO Applications UNO 2.16.3

When accessing the remote host from a UNO application, there is no


pre-defined IP address as exists when accessing the host from the Element
Manager Access application. The required agent, such as IWU Total Control
Manager (TCM) in our example, can be running on any one of a number
of machines.
The TCM manager application is connected to each one of these IWU TCM
agents and can create the connection between the operator using the UNO
Alarm Manager and the IWU TCM agent.
To create such a connection, the user is requested to enter two IP addresses:
The IP address of the IWU TCM machine on which the agent manager
is running
The IP address that connects the agent manager application and the IWU
TCM agent
A connection can then be created between the Alarm Manager and IWU
TCM agent.

To Access the TCM from UNO Applications

Perform the following steps on a TCM machine:


1. For each UNO user who needs this access to the TCM, create a user on the
TCM machine with the same login as on the UNO machine
2. For each such user on the TCM machine, add the following line to that
user .rhosts file
<user_name> hosho
replacing <user_name> by the current user's login name

Note: For the same users on the TCM machine, make sure that the .profile file
defines the TCMHOME variable, and also defines the PATH variable
to include the path where the 'xtcmvfpd' command is run from.

To Invoke Element Manager Access

From the Alarm Manager menu bar, select

Applications

Element Manager

When selected, the Telnet dialog box opens, as in Figure 13-5.

General Description
This section provides a short description of the WAP, UNO and WAP2UNO
functionalities that are involved in this feature.

WAP
The Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is the cellular industry standard
interface for working over the Web from an internet-enabled cellular phone. To
receive data, a WAP-enabled mobile phone needs to establish a connection with
the WAP gateway. The gateway translates data from the HTTP protocol to the
WAP protocol and may optionally use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Wireless
Transport Security Layer (WTSL) for data encryption.

WAP2UNO
WAP2UNO lets the cell technician and the operations manager get UNO Fault
and Performance Management information on a internet-enabled cellular
phone. On WAP2UNO, the UNO user can view alarms and device state
information while in remote locations.
Like Web Monitor, WAP2UNO provides a view-only access to management
information. The UNO user can perform these tasks:
View a subset of alarms based on a user selected alarm filter
Request alarm detail information on any alarm
Query the states of one or more summary (high-level) or detailed
(low-level) devices and then to request details of the alarms that are active
on these devices
Because the user interface is restricted to a few lines with only a few characters
per line, WAP2UNO is less general in nature than the Web Monitor and is
intended to answer specific user questions.

System Requirements UNO 2.16.3

System Requirements
This section describes WAP2UNO system requirements.

User
These requirements enable the WAP2UNO user:
PM data have to be available.
Administrative permission and user ID must be issued for use of UNO
Manager databases. Names of users who have permission to use WAP are
defined using the wap_user UNO utility and are saved in the UNO
Database wap_prefs table.
Alarm filters enabling a very limited (narrow scope) search must be
preconfigured in UNO Filter Builder.
Encrypted transport of company sensitive information has to be ensured.

Installation
WAP2UNO installation includes:
WAP equipment (software and hardware), see Environment
Data encryption, see Security
Security certificates, see Providing Secure Data Transfer

Environment
These requirements are necessary for correct WAP2UNO installation and
functioning:
WAP Gateway recognition of all language tags of the WAPFORUM WML
1.1 standard (For example: Motorola WAP Gateway).
WAP Gateway access to the Web UNO Home Page in UNO Manager.
For example: The Gateway should be situated under the same firewall or
it should have network access through a firewall to Hypertext Transfer
Protocol (HTTP) port 80 at UNO Manager host.
Internet-enabled phone with WAP Browser UP Browser version 4.0 and
beyond. Only this type of browser recognizes the full set of WAPFORUM
WML 1.1 standard tags and provides adequate visual language
interpretation.

14-6 UNO Core Features March 1, 2004


UNO 2.16.3 Chapter 14: WAP for UNO

Security
To ensure that company sensitive information is safe for use over the Web, the
UNO administrator must enable encryption on the UNO Manager HTTP server.
Two encryption protocols are used:
WTSL between the WAP gateway and the WAP phone
SSL between the WAP gateway and the Web server

Providing Secure Data Transfer


The SSL protocol provides privacy and reliability between two applications,
enabling the UNO administrator to secure the data transfer for WAP2UNO
users.
The first stage is the creation and installation of SSL certificates on the UNO
host, which enables the HTTP server to work in SSL mode. This is done only
once, following the installation of the UNO Manager. This stage consists of
three procedures:
Creating SSL Certificates
Installing SSL Certificates
Restarting the HTTP Server
The second stage is Turning the SSL mode on or off. This is done for the WAP2
UNO feature itself.

March 1, 2004 UNO Core Features 14-7


Providing Secure Data Transfer UNO 2.16.3

Creating SSL Certificates


To perform this step, you need to know the domain name of your server. The
domain name is the IP address of the host in domain form, beginning at the
second token.
For example: In myhost.motorola.com, the domain name is motorola.com.

To Create SSL Certificates

1. To log in as a root user, type:


su - root

2. To change the directory, type:


cd /usr/http/bin/
Note: If you do not know the domain name, type the UNIX commands:
#HOST=`uname -n`
#nslookup $HOST | grep $HOST | cut -d'.' -f2-

The domain name appears. Use this name whenever you are prompted.
3. When your domain name is defined, type:
./installSSLforUNOSWS

You are prompted to supply a password.


Note: Choose one password to use for all password prompts.
4. Type the valid server domain name when prompted (IP address in domain
form, beginning at the second token)

Installing SSL Certificates


To perform this step, you need to know:
the name of the certificate directory
IP address of your host

To Install SSL Certificates

1. Define the certificate directory and IP address by typing the UNIX

can invoke WAP2UNO.

To Connect to UNO Host

Using the handsets standard menu option for connecting over the Web,
enter the URL for the UNO host you want to connect to:
http://[UNO host IP address]/wap.wml
When UNO host successfully connected, the first logon page opens, as in
Figure 14-6a.
Note: For description of the Alpha softkey, see on page 14-15.

If the gateway supports bookmarks, then a connection to UNO host by


bookmark is possible. This makes it unnecessary to enter the UNO host
name every time; you can just create the bookmark, using the option:
Menu > Browser Menu > Mark Site. Browser menus vary in various
handsets. Not all gateways support bookmarks.

To Open WAP2UNO

1. In the first logon page, enter your User ID, using the handset buttons

14-12 UNO Core Features March 1, 2004


UNO 2.16.3 Chapter 14: WAP for UNO

Display Overview
WAP2UNO pages consist of these display elements:

Header Page title that indicates a list name, an action name, or


instruction/command name. In any list, includes the
current page number and the total of list pages, in brackets,
for example: 1of 11
Body Current action result, a statement, a message, a list of items
(menu, options, data) or an entry field for user input.
Number of visible body text rows varies according to the
size of the handset display.
Action Buttons Confirm an input/option choice and/or invoke other pages.
A line separates the page body from action buttons. A
maximum of two buttons can appear on a page.
Selection Arrow In all lists, this movable arrow lets you select an item. You
can select only one item. As a default, the arrow is placed
at the first item.

Context
WAP2UNO can display a topic that contains a single page (up to 10 items/rows
of body text) or a series of pages, for example, a list that is much longer than a
single page display. A series of scrollable pages appearing under the same
name, or a single multi-page procedure, is referred to as a context.

Data Refresh
Once requested, any data that you view in WAP2UNO remains the same for the
duration of your work in any given context. Fresh data will arrive from UNO
only when you leave the context for more than 5 minutes (the Sending
message will appear to indicate this). If you return to the same context within
less than 5 minutes, the same, un-updated data will display.

Data Display Limit


For any data request, WAP2UNO can display up to a hundred items. If this
limit is reached, a warning message opens before the data is displayed. When
that happens, it is recommended to set the user preferences for a narrower
scope search.
