Command Center
With a graphical icon-based interface, the Command Center allows you to
monitor the state of a cellular system, including:
Configuration of both individual and grouped devices
Individual device states
Device-group states
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.
For more information, see Command Center. Command Center Suite.
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.
For more information, see PM Reports. 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.

The Element Manager includes the UNO base package and major UNO
management applications and features. Element Manager also provides SNMP
support for Interworking Unit (IWU) and Zhone Integrated Multiple Access
Communications Server (IMACS) agents. Element Manager supports one
OMC-R agent.
Additional features are provided through the Market Manager and licensed
optional packages.
The Market Manager expands the functionality of Element Manager by
providing advanced system support. Market Manager adds several applications
and additional agent support to the UNO basic package.
Table 2-2 lists the UNO 2.16.3 licenses and included features.
Table 2-2: UNO Feature Licenses
Note: For more information on licenses and contact information for vendors,
see UNO 2.16.3 Software Installation Guide, Chapter 4: Preliminary
Procedures.
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
in Table 2-3:

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.

Alarm Handling The UNO operator investigates the type of action required and initiates the
process to resolve the problem causing the alarm: (see Figure 3-2)
Enable/Disable Device - when available
Acknowledge/Unacknowledge Alarm - Acknowledge is optional
but recommended
Clear Alarm - when the the problem causing the alarm is resolved and the
situation no longer warrants an alarm

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.
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
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.
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

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).

Alarm Cause AMR hardware failure or AMR was extracted for service.
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.
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.
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.
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 These alarms will be not be shown in the Alarm Manager
if they are cleared within 5 seconds.
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 These alarms will be not be shown in the Alarm Manager
if they are cleared within 5 seconds.
Receive Imbalance
Alarm ID 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Alarm Description The CCD failed to detect 19 MHz clock or all devices
in the cage failed to receive 19 MHz clock.
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.
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.
Correlation Rule This alarm will not be shown in the Alarm Manager if it is
cleared within 20 seconds.
Alarm Cause Local conditions prevent proper GPS reception or when GPS
system is taken down for configuration.
System Impact Minimalno system impact for short periods of time and
significant only when Clear not received (the correlation rule issues an alarm
when Clear not received within threshold time). Note that the alarm is not even
issued if the GPS is lost for less than two minutes.
Correlation Rule This alarm will not be shown in the Alarm Manager if it is
cleared within 55 seconds.
Alarm Cause If the HSO reference source repeatedly fails or does not
recover, a problem may exist in the reference source hardware.
Correlation Rule This alarm will not be shown in the Alarm Manager if it is
cleared within 10 seconds. The alarm is usually cleared automatically within
this time period so the correlation rule significantly decreases the
alarm volume.
Correlation Rule These alarms will be not be shown in the Alarm Manager
if they are cleared within 20 seconds. The correlation rule may prevent costly
ELPA and RF cabling inspections and module replacements.
Correlation Rule These alarms will be not be shown in the Alarm Manager
if they are cleared within 35 seconds. The correlation rule may prevent
extraneous automatic trouble notifications and fan replacements.
Alarm Description The AMR has detected that a power supply in the
Power Distribution Cage or Shelf has failed.
Correlation Rule These alarms will be not be shown in the Alarm Manager
if they are cleared within 10 seconds. The correlation rule may prevent
extraneous automatic trouble notifications, inspections and
module replacements.
Correlation Rule This alarm will not be shown in the Alarm Manager if it is
cleared within 21 seconds.
Correlation Rule This alarm will not be shown in the Alarm Manager if it is
cleared within 11 seconds.
Alarm Description Indicates fan speed of a PA unit fan has fallen below a
preset threshold.
System Impact For an FTM, the impact is distributed equally across all
carrier sectors, reducing the impact on one sector.
Correlation Rule These alarm will not be shown in the Alarm Manager if
they are cleared within 25 seconds. The correlation rule may prevent
extraneous inspections and module replacements.
Alarm Cause Equipment malfunction or, if the alarms is generated for all
LPAC units, indicative of an AMR bus failure.
System Impact Total output power for the sector is reduced. For an FTM,
the impact is distributed equally across all carrier sectors, reducing the impact
on one sector.
Correlation Rule These alarm will not be shown in the Alarm Manager if
they are cleared within 25 seconds. The correlation rule may prevent
extraneous inspections and module replacements.
Correlation Rule These alarm will not be shown in the Alarm Manager if
they are cleared within 15 seconds. The alarm is usually cleared automatically
within this time period so the correlation rule significantly decreases the
alarm volume.
System Impact Calls associated with the reporting MAWI will most likely
drop as a result of the clock failure. A redundant MAWI may go active in place
of the failed MAWI.
Correlation Rule This alarm will not be shown in the Alarm Manager if it is
cleared within 20 seconds. The correlation rule may prevent unnecessary
inspections and replacements.
Alarm Description A master MAWI detected that the 28V common bus
voltage output is low.
Correlation Rule This alarm will not be shown in the Alarm Manager if it is
cleared within 5 seconds.
DC-DC Converter
Alarm ID 1202212023
Correlation Rule These alarms will be not be shown in the Alarm Manager
if they are cleared within 10 seconds. The correlation rule may prevent
needless disabling of the MAWI card or equipment replacement.
Alarm Cause Loss of clock or bad parity. Clock Lost indicates that the
reporting MAWI is unable to recover the 19MHz clock from the BBB bus,
which is specified in the alarm as N. Bad Parity indicates that the reporting
MAWI is detecting parity errors on the BBB bus which is specified in the alarm
as N.
Correlation Rule This alarm will not be shown in the Alarm Manager if it is
cleared within 5 seconds. Correlation rule may prevent unnecessary BBB bus
inspections and MAWI device actions, such as reboot, swap and disable.
Alarm Description The PPP session between the MCC/MAWI and the
RPM is down.
System Impact This problem may be temporary, but the resources, such as
the Channel Elements, dedicated to be used along this communication path are
temporarily unavailable.
Correlation Rule This alarm will not be shown in the Alarm Manager if it is
cleared within 5 seconds.
System Impact For links, none as long as at least one link between the
MLS and PDSN or PSI is operational. Due to this minimal impact the
correlation has a long rule Threshold Time of 60 seconds. For connections, the
PSI or PDSN is no longer available for service.
Correlation Rule This alarm will not be shown in the Alarm Manager if it is
cleared within 60 seconds. Since the required operator action is to schedule
link repair or endpoint port diagnostics if the alarm is reported, the correlation
rule potentially reduces maintenance costs by preventing self-rectifying alarms
from being issued.
Alarm Cause MGLI internal threshold for this error was exceeded.
Correlation Rule This alarm will not be shown in the Alarm Manager if it is
cleared within 10 seconds. The correlation rule may prevent extraneous
automatic trouble notifications or replacement of the Preselector.
Correlation Rule This alarm will not be shown in the Alarm Manager if it is
cleared within 10 seconds. The correlation rule may prevent extraneous
automatic trouble notifications or replacement of the Preselector.
System Impact No immediate impact, since the SIF fan is part of the
RFDS subsystem and does not impact current call processing capability.
Correlation Rule This alarm will not be shown in the Alarm Manager if it is
cleared within 20 seconds. The correlation rule may prevent extraneous fan
replacement.
Correlation Rule This alarm will not be shown in the Alarm Manager if it is
cleared within 21 seconds. The correlation rule may prevent extraneous site
inspections, module replacements and RFDS Receive Accuracy and
Linearity testing.
System Impact If alarm seen, the MDM shelf is still in service utilizing
the redundant shelf power supply. If the second power supply fails, the alarm is
not seen because the MDM is completely out of service.
Correlation Rule This alarm will not be shown in the Alarm Manager if it is
cleared within 30 seconds. The correlation rule may prevent extraneous site
inspections and module replacements.

Additional Conditions
Definition Field
Selected Attribute
The elements of the Additional Conditions Definition Field for Rule Element
#1 are described in Table 4-8.
Field Description
Selected Attribute The alarm attribute, selected from the Attribute Drop-Down List, to which you
want to apply the Selected Condition
Condition Lists all available conditions that can be applied to the Selected Attribute.
Drop-Down List 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 for the Selected
Attribute as the first alarm.
For example, if the Selected Attribute is Severity and the first alarm that passes
through the Rule Element filter has Major severity, all other alarms that pass
through the filter must also have Major severity.
a. Click the Attribute Drop-Down List and select the required attribute
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.
When you finish defining an Additional Condition, new Attribute and
Condition Drop-Down Lists appear enabling you to define more
Additional Conditions.
c. Repeat to define more Additional Conditions
You can define up to five Additional Conditions.
10. If you do not want to define another rule element, skip to Step 1 of To
Define Resulting Action Parameters on page 4-48
If you want to define another rule element, continue to Step 11
Note: The Alarm Number Setting (Figure 4-10, on page 4-38) in Rule
Element #1 must be 1 to add additional rule elements.
11. Click the Add Element button
The Rule Definition Tab for Rule Element #2 appears.
12. Click the Rule Definition Tab for Rule Element #2
The tab is activated.
13. Repeat Step 2 through Step 9 for Rule Element #2
All procedures are identical to those for defining Rule Element #1, except
for defining Additional Conditions (Step 9), where the available
conditions differ from those of Rule Element #1.
For defining Additional Conditions (Step 9) for all rule elements other
than Rule Element #1, the Additional Conditions Definition Field appears
as in Figure 4-12.

Drop-Down List
The elements of Figure 4-12 are identical to those for the Additional
Conditions Definition Field for Rule Element #1 (Figure 4-11, on
page 4-44). The only difference is in the available conditions in the
Condition Drop-Down List. These additional conditions are described in
Table 4-9.
Field Description
Same Value As An alarm that passes through the filter defined for the current rule element must
(Alarm of Element 1) have the same value for the Selected Attribute as the alarm of Rule
Element #1.
For example, assume you set the Selected Attribute to Severity. If an alarm gen-
erated as a result of Rule Element #1 has Major severity, then, for the Alarm
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
(Alarm of Element 1) have a value for the Selected Attribute that is different from that of Rule
Element #1.
For example, assume you set the Selected Attribute to Severity. If an alarm gen-
erated as a result of Rule Element #1 has Major severity, then, for the Alarm
Correlation rule to hold, no alarms generated as a result of the current rule ele-
ment can have Major severity.
14. If you do not want to define another rule element, skip to Step 1 of To
Define Resulting Action Parameters on page 4-48
If you want to define another rule element, continue to Step 15
15. To add additional rule elements, repeat steps Step 11 through Step 13 for
each rule element
You can define up to five rule elements.
1. When you have finished defining all rule elements, click the Resulting
Action rule definition tab (Figure 4-10, on page 4-38)

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

Both System and User Large Scale configuration dialogs have shortcut menus
that are applicable to managers and agents listed in the Manager/Agent name
column. Some shortcuts let you quickly select an action from the drop-down
menu rather than from the application action buttons. Additional options are
provided for invoking the UNO alarm suite applications.
Table 5-7 describes the right mouse button shortcuts in Large Scale System and
User Configuration.
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

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.

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.
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.

General Description
UNO Web Monitor is an interactive client-server functionality. The client is a
Web-based application. Each client request is sent to the server and the
response results are displayed at the client GUI (Web Monitor). The server
prepares data in ASCII format for each client request and the client accepts and
represents the data to the UNO user by the means of http. The client provides
remote access to data by the means of:
State Monitor
Alarm Monitor
Server
The Web Monitor server performs these functions:
Lists all current filters resident in UNO Alarm Manager
Supports a filtered snapshot of the active alarm log and provides a scoped
list of alarms, based on data as organized in the UNO Alarm Manager
Provides alarm details
Provides a list of summary devices in the sequence in which they are
currently displayed in the summary device display (which is a Command
Center feature)
Lists the low-level devices for the specified summary devices
Client
The Web Monitor client performs these functions:
Enables viewing of current performance of high and low-level devices
Enables viewing of current alarms corresponding to specified devices or
available public and private (user-defined) filters
Navigates between Alarm and State displays
Displays user-defined table display options, such as item attributes or
column width, according to the specifications that were user-defined in the
UNO Alarm Manager
Performs searches
Supports sorting, multiple disjoint selection of list items, resizing and
hiding of columns
Supports simultaneous viewing and generating data in the background

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 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:
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
Figure 9-1 shows a typical Quality of Service alarm generated by PMT for a
CDMA Carrier, as displayed in the OMC-R CLI.

Interface
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.
Numerator : SQLexpression
=
Denominator : SQLexpression
=
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

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

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

where:

M counters - is the number of measurements on this device type

Range: 0.01 to 0.50 (1% to 50%)
Default: None
Base Value Combined with Device Direction and Error Rate, this value specifies a threshold
based on deviation of a counters value from a Base Value. The Base Value defines
the Base Value for the measurement of counter values deviation.
Note: Base Value is optional. If no Base Value is specified, the counters
history-based Average is used as the Base Value.
Deviation Direction Specifies the direction in which deviation from the defined base value is measured
for a threshold.

deviation, an alarm is generated.
If the value is greater than the Base Value, no alarm is generated.
Both:
If the measurement value is smaller than the Base Value minus the permissible
deviation, or greater than the defined Base Value plus the permissible deviation,
an alarm is generated.
Range: More, Less, Both
Default: Both
Minimum Value Defines the minimum allowable value for the measurement. If the measurements
value drops below the Minimum Value, an alarm is generated.
Maximum Value Defines the maximum allowable value for the measurement. If the measurements
value rises above the Maximum Value, an alarm is generated.

Purposes
You can request to view PM measurements in the form of a graph. A quick
visual reference can be helpful because it reduces the time you need to identify
and analyze problems occurring in devices.
Whenever you observe a PM measurement malfunction, the PM Statistics
Graphs application can be used to:
Determine if the observed problem persists over a period of time
Compare PM statistics for different cells/sectors or sampling periods
The PM Statistics Graphs application uses two kinds of PM Measurements &
Alarms sources:
Device dependent PM measurements
Measurements you defined for long term storage (see PM Statistics
Graphs in Long Term PM Storage. PM Enhanced Applications. 4-23)
Applications
PM Statistics Graphs
or
in the Device Dependent tab, right-mouse click on the selected item(s) and
choose PM Statistics Graphs
The PM Statistics Display dialog box appears, showing the graph that
represents the statistics for the measurement(s) you selected, as in
Figure 9-32, on page 9-68.
Note: Loading of the requested data may take a few minutes. If no data
is available for statistics on the selected measurement(s), the graph
display area is empty. A message may appear to inform you why
no graph appears.
Figure 9-32 shows the PM Measurements & Alarms Device Dependent tab
where the requested measurement is highlighted, and the invoked PM
statistics display.
When the PM Statistics Display window is active, you can use the View menu
options to display the types of statistical values that are relevant to your

The Import procedure is completed. The UNO system uses the imported
PM Thresholding definitions to generate alarms.
Operators Guidelines
Important: To ensure that PMT is functional, perform the complete check as
described in Operators Check List.
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.
Enter: /opt/UNO/mol/pmt_counter -t y
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.

The Filter Builder allows you to specify alarm filters for filter-based
applications. When the Filter Builder is configured as a Large Scale Filter
Builder, (Optional License 4), filters can be applied over multiple UNO hosts.
The Filter Builder allows you to:
Define a new filter
Modify an existing filter
Delete a filter
Create a complex filter from regular filters on the same host
Create a large scale filter from regular filters on different hosts
Apply a filter to and access other filter based applications
Modify the main dialog box for ease and efficiency of use
Print a hard copy of the filter attributes
The title bar displays the application name and other information depending on
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.
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
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.

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

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.
Figure 14-1 illustrates the WAP connection.

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.
Figure 14-4 illustrates the interactions between the two monitoring functions.
Device Details
Alarm Details
List
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.
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
Figure 14-5 shows the WAP2UNO security model.
INTERNET
WIRELESS

Getting Started
This section describes the WAP2UNO display elements and interface usage.
The display for WAP2UNO was developed according to standard user interface
design guidelines for WAP applications, to ensure ease and flexibility of use in
a variety of handsets.
Figure 14-8 shows the Main Menu display on an internet-enabled handset.

Display Overview
WAP2UNO pages consist of these display elements:
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.
Navigating
This section describes the WAP2UNO buttons and navigation options.
Handset Buttons
