page.
2. Press Open.
The WEB LCT page to login to the remote equipment opens.
3. Type the name (Username box) and the access code (Password box) of the WEB user to use to activate
the connection and press Login.
In a new page the WEB LCT of the remote equipment is displayed.
Each equipment has a remote equipment list stored in its own controller.
With remote equipment list we mean a list containing all the network remote equipment which you wish
to connect to.
For a better vision of the equipment during the setting of the list, it is possible to subdivide the equipment
into stations, in such a way that, at the selection of a station, the application will display only the detail of
the equipment associated with such a specific station. The station does not have any particular meaning;
it has been simply introduced to help the user during the localization of the equipment.
Into each remote equipment list, it is possible to create a maximum of 100 equipment and 30 station.
The remote equipment list can be used to connect, at the same time, to more equipment only if the pro-
gram WEB LCT is available.
When the user requests the connection to a generic equipment present into the network (local equipment),
at the connection of such equipment, the WEB LCT program reads its remote equipment list and automat-
ically forwards the connection command to all pieces of equipment present into the list.
In such a way, the application displays, into the Station List area of the WEB LCT window, all the stations
that group the equipment and, into the Equipment List area (selecting the relevant station), it displays the
functional status of the local equipment (that results in connected/login status) and the functional status
of all the remote equipment present into the list. The equipment that have answered to the connection
request of the application will result in connected/monitor status.
The application will cyclically forward the connection command, to the equipment that have not answered
to the connection request, until to:
• It is deactivated the connection with the local equipment.
• The user disables the equipment.
• The equipment is deleted from the remote equipment list of the local equipment.
More information concerning the WEB LCT program are reported into the relevant manuals.
This area is the part of the WEB LCT page where the equipment parameters are displayed.
Its content changes accordingly to the selected command in the Equipment Menu area, which is indicated
in the top part of the contextual area.
Push-button
Apply. Selecting it makes the changes, executed on the parameters present in the contextual
area, effective.
Its selection opens a confirmation window. The confirmation windows are timed. When this pe-
riod is elapsed (pointed out by the progress bar), if the user has not confirmed the operation,
the window is closed and the operation cancelled.
The confirmation window displays the option Don’t ask again. Activate the option to avoid the
system displays the confirmation request when Apply is selected in any context of WEB LCT
page. This setting remains valid until the exit from the current session (logout or page closing).
If the Apply push-button is not available:
• It is not possible to execute changes because the user profile does not allow this or
the equipment is in connected/monitor status.
• No parameter present in the window has been modified. In this case, the push-button
becomes available when the value of a parameter is changed.
• Another push-button is present in the contextual area for the confirmation of the op-
eration or the change of the parameters.
Refresh. Force the reading of the data from equipment.
If the push-button is not available, the connection with the equipment is not active.
WARNING For some commands, other push-buttons are displayed relevant only to the context
which contains them. These push-buttons are described in the paragraph relevant to the specific
command.
Tabs
For some commands, the parameters are subdivided in tabs. The selection of a tab dynamically
changes the content of the contextual area.
Parameters
The parameters present in the contextual area can be read-only or set or modified.
The description of the single commands (see Menu and commands (Equipment Menu) indicates
the parameters which can be modified and modalities to do that.
Generally, for the parameter setting, the following rules are valid:
• Entering a value (alphanumeric string) in a text box.
If a red line is displayed below the text box, the entered value is not allowed because,
for example, a number of characters greater than the allowed one or an invalid value
has been entered (for example, entering of value 172.18.70.334 as IP address).
• Box with possible values displayed in a drop-down menu.
When the value is changed, a red triangle is displayed in the top left edge of the box.
It signals that the value has been changed, but the change has not been communi-
cated yet to the equipment (pressure of push-button Apply).

Opening page
Login Failed! Invalid User o Password!. It means that the typed username and/or password is
wrong and/or not present in the equipment user list.
The equipment is update protected by element manager, retry to login as Read Only user. It
means that the equipment is managed also by the NMS5UX-B/NMS5LX supervisory system and
the NMS5UX user has prevented the possibility, for the WEB user, to be able to execute the login
of the equipment. In this case, it is necessary that the NMS5UX user enables again the WEB user
for the execution of the operation.
Too many WEB users!. It means that the equipment has been connected to the maximum num-
ber of allowed users (see Limits).

Press to hide the list of measures. Press to display the list again.
(4) Graphical representation of the measure results. This area displays, in graphical format, the
results of the control parameters of the selected measure/measurement unit.
Every bar represents the result of the measure of one parameter in a given observation period (daily
or primary record).
The position of the bar on the x-axis indicates the daily or primary record which it is referred to:
• C.D. Current daily record (24 hours). The X100 suffix indicates that the value must be mul-
tiplied by 100 to obtain the real measured value.
• L. D. Preceding daily record. The displayed value must be multiplied by 100 to obtain the
real measured value.
• Curr. 15 Min. Current primary record (15 minutes).
• 15 Min. ÷ 4 Hours. 16 preceding primary records (each record is of 15 minutes).
Moreover, for every record the relevant status is displayed: (ML), (MF), (IN), (LO), (RE). The de-
scription of every single status is reported in the following note. If the status indication is not pre-
sent, the record is not available, because the measure was not active during the considered
observation period.
The position on the y-axis indicates the value achieved by the parameter during the specific obser-
vation period (record). The measurement unit on the y-axis changes depending on the type of pa-
rameter represented in the graph. Moreover the y-scale dynamically changes depending on the
entity of the represented values.
The results relevant to a given parameter can be hidden selecting the parameter label located in
the top part of the area (for example ). To display the parameter results again, select the
label again.
(5) Table representation of the measure results. This area displays, in table format, the results of
the control parameters of the selected measure/measurement unit.
For every parameter, the result of the measure is pointed out relevant to a given observation period
(daily or primary record):
• Type. According to the selected measure this field indicates:
• G828 Radio, RxPwr Radio and TxPwr Radio measures: Control parameters (see
PM measures available).
• ACM Radio measure: Counters. One counter is foreseen for every ACM profile (see
PM measures available).
For every counter, the column of the specific observation period indicates (expressed
in seconds) the number of times the counter is increased. The rule used to increased
a counter changes according to the currently active modality (see Policy parameter).
Besides one counter per modulation, the following counters are foreseen:
• DownShift. Number of times the profile, during the specific observation period,
has changed assuming a profile lower than the previous one.
• UpShift. Number of times the profile, during the specific observation period,
has changed assuming a profile higher than the previous one.
Into the table, the system does not point out the results relevant to all the counters. Such
results have been subdivided according to the selected measure/measuring unit (see note
3).
• Curr. Day. Current daily record (24 hours).
• Last Day. Preceding daily record.
• Curr. 15 Min. Current primary record (15 minutes).
• 15 Min. ÷ 4 Hours. 16 preceding primary records (each record is of 15 minutes).
What just said is valid from the second row of the table on, because the first row indicates the status
of the records (Count. Status):
• Meaningless (ML) (green). The record has been completely acquired and the measure is not
affected by errors.
• Meaningful (MF) (green). The record has been completely acquired and it detected some per-
formance errors.
If one or more alarms are active (see note 6) means that the counter(s) have exceeded their
threshold value.
• Incomplete (IN) (yellow). The record has not been completely acquired during the corre-
sponding observation period.
The measure starting record is always in this status. The daily record gets this status also
when only one primary record of the corresponding day is in incomplete status.
The daily record of the current date will be always an incomplete one because the daily re-
cords are acquired at 23.59 of each day.
• Lost (LO) (red). The record has not reached the main controller of the equipment for instance
because the corresponding peripheral card has been physically extracted before it could have
forwarded the record itself or for generic hardware/software troubles.
• Restarted (RE) (red). The record has been lost after a reset of the equipment.
When the equipment has a software restart and checks that the measure is activated for a
certain measure point, all the record coupled with such a measure point will result in this
status.
• ---. The record is not an available one because, during the observation period under exam-
ination, the measure was not activated.
The colour of the alarm boxes represents the alarm status and severity:
• Red, Orange, Yellow, Light blue. Alarm activated coupled respectively with the Critical,
Major, Minor, Warning severity.
• Green. Alarm activated coupled with the Status severity.
• Grey. Alarm deactivated.
The Radio 1A measure (G828 group) checks the quality of the received signal at radio side.
The check consists of measuring the following quality parameters:
BBE (Background Block Error). Number of blocks where it has been detected at least one er-
rored bit not belonging to SES.
ES (Errored Second). The second when there have been one or more errored blocks.
SES (Severely Errored Second). The second when there have been a percentage of errored
blocks > 30% or the second when it has been activated an alarm equivalent to the interruption
of the signal at reception.
SEP (Severely Errored Period). Number of periods with a number of consecutive SES comprised
between 3 and 9. The sequence is ended by a second without SES.
UAS (UnAvailable Seconds). Number of unavailability seconds. The counting of the seconds
starts after P consecutive seconds with SES presence and it ends at the beginning of a period of
Q consecutive seconds without SES. The P seconds are counted into the unavailability period.
The Q and P values can be configured.
The parameters are implemented according to G.828 ITU-T Rec.
The Radio 1A measure (RxPwr group) checks the power of the signal at reception.
The check consists of measuring the following quality parameters:
TMMax (Tide Mark Max). Maximum value reached by the power at reception (RL) during the
observation period (15 min or 24 hours).
TMMin (Tide Mark Min). Minimum value reached by the power at reception (RL) during the ob-
servation period (15 min or 24 hours).
Average Level. Average level of the power at reception (RL) during the observation period (15
min or 24 hours).
Rlts (Received Level Threshold Second). Number of seconds where it has been detected that
the value of the power at reception (RL - Received Level) is lower than the pre-defined threshold
level. It is possible to define up to a maximum of 5 threshold levels.
The parameters are implemented according to Standard EN 301 129 of the ETSI.
The Radio 1A measure (TxPwr group) checks the power of the signal at transmission.
The check consists of measuring the following quality parameters:
TMMax (Tide Mark Max). Maximum value reached by the power at transmission (TL) during the
observation period (15 min or 24 hours).
TMMin (Tide Mark Min). Minimum value reached by the power at transmission (TL) during the
observation period (15 min or 24 hours).
Average Level. Average level of the power at transmission (TL) during the observation period
(15 min or 24 hours)
The parameters are implemented according to Standard EN 301 129 of the ETSI.
The Radio 1A measure (ACM group) traces the trend of the ACM profiles (receiver) in the time.
The trend is traced using one counter for each ACM profile and further counters (UpShift and DownShift):
BPSK. Counter relevant to the ACM profile BPSK. The rule used to increase the counter changes
according to the active increase mode*.
4QAM Str. Counter relevant to the ACM profile 4QAM Str. The rule used to increase the counter
changes according to the active increase mode*.
4QAM. Counter relevant to the ACM profile 4QAM. The rule used to increase the counter chang-
es according to the active increase mode*.
16QAM. Counter relevant to the ACM profile 16QAM. The rule used to increase the counter
changes according to the active increase mode*.
64QAM. Counter relevant to the ACM profile 64QAM. The rule used to increase the counter
changes according to the active increase mode*.
DownShift. Number of times the ACM profile, during the specific observation period, has
changed assuming an ACM profile lower than the previous one.
UpShift. Number of times the ACM profile, during the specific observation period, has changed
assuming an ACM profile higher than the previous one.
* The counters relevant to the ACM profiles can be increased according to the following modes:
• Active Mod. The counter is increased each second if the corresponding ACM profile is equal to
the one currently active.
• No Avail. Mod. The counter is increased each second if the corresponding ACM profile is higher
than the current one and lower than or equal to the upper modulation threshold (Upper Profile).
Example. Suppose the ACM profile 64 QAM has been defined as Upper Profile and the current modulation
is 16 QAM. If the active modality is:
• Active Mod, each second only the counter 4QAM is increased.
• Not Avail. Mod, each second the counters 16QAM, 64QAM are increased.
The mode used to increase the counters of the ACM profiles is common to all the counters and must be
selected by the user.
A PM measure consists of recording, during a pre-defined time range (observation period), the values of
specific parameters.
Some threshold limits have been assigned to such control parameters (the setting of the thresholds can
be changed).
The exceeding of the threshold limit indicates a more or less serious degradation of the signal. This condi-
tion generates an alarm.
The alarms relevant to the threshold exceeding are treated by the equipment and by the application as
normal alarms. The only exception is that the alarm is not automatically reset at the return into the thresh-
old limit but the user has to execute the reset of this kind of alarms.
The control parameters under examination change according to the equipment type and to the measure
type supported by that type of equipment. Usually, all the executed measures refer to ITU-T Recommen-
dations (eg. G.828, etc.).
The activation (and the deactivation) of the PM measures can be executed by the user.
When it has been activated a PM measure, the equipment starts the storing of the values relevant to the
control parameters.
The results of the measures are sub-divided into records. Each record contains the values recorded into a
specific time range (observation period).
If at the end of the observation period, the measure has not yet been deactivated the system starts another
observation period and so on until when the operator stops the measure.
The equipment group the results of the PM measures into observation period of 15 minutes (primary re-
cords) and of 24 hours (daily records).
The observation periods can not be synchronized with the instant when the measure is activated but such
records refer, for the primary records, to the quarter of an hour (00.00, 00.15, 00.30, etc.) and, for the
daily records, to the time 00.00 UTC (Universal Time, Coordinated).
For instance, if a measure starts at 11.40, the first primary record will have as observation period the time
11.4011.45 (corresponding to the time range 11.3011.45), while the first daily record will have as ob-
servation period 11.4000.00.
When the user requires the display of the results of the PM measures, the daily and primary records rele-
vant to the running PM measures are displayed in the WEB LCT page of the equipment.
For each type of measure, the equipment keeps stored the current records and also the last 16 primary
records (corresponding to the last 4 hours) and the last daily one (corresponding to the preceding day).
The preceding records are overwritten.
When the operator stops a measure, the system stores the uncompleted current record.
If the operator activates and deactivates the measure more times during the same observation period, the
system will store the record that contains the results of the last executed measure.
For instance if the measure has been activated at 9.02 and deactivated at 9.07, then it has been newly
activated at 9.09, the record relevant to the observation period 9.009.15 will contain the results of the
measures relevant to the period 9.099.15, while the ones relevant to the period 9.029.07 will not be
stored.
If equipment has some PM measures on progress and it is re-started up or turned off, when it will succes-
sively restarted or turned on the measures activated before the turning off will be automatically re-started.
The records (primary and daily), relevant to the period when measure has been stopped, will result empty
and when it has been reached the limit of 16 primary records and 1 daily one, they will overwrite the pre-
ceding records.

Timeout (Minutes). Time interval for which the Wake Up trap, when enabled, is sent to the
server. The setting of the value 0 indicates that the trap is sent until when the user manually
disables it or the NMS server automatically disables it when intercepts it.
NE Location. Optional parameter. The user can insert the physical location (for example the
name of the site) of the equipment in this field. This information is communicated to the remote
manager together with the characteristics of the equipment. The supervision system NMS5UX-
B or NMS5LX does not use this information.

Wake Up functionality (info)
The Wake Up functionality allows the user enabling the spontaneous forward, from the equipment to a re-
mote server, of a SNMP trap for the notification of the equipment commissioning (Wake Up trap).
Auto Discovery
This functionality has been implemented as help to the Auto Discovery modality available in the
supervision systems NMS5UX-B and NMS5LX.
The Auto Discovery mode has the purpose to point out new equipment in the network, not man-
aged by the supervision system yet. More information about the Auto Discovery modality is re-
ported in the relevant documentation.
This chapter shows only the management of the Wake Up trap by the equipment. The imple-
mentation of the Wake Up functionality is the following.
WEB LCT
Via WEB LCT application, it is possible:
• Define the IP address of the server where the supervision system, which the trap must
be sent to (NMS IP Address option) is installed.
• Define the time interval for which the trap must be sent, after which the sending of the
trap is automatically disabled (Timeout option).
If the value 0 is set for the Timeout option, the Wake Up trap will be sent until when the
user manually disables it or the NMS server automatically disables it when intercepts it.
• Activate and deactivate the sending of the trap.
To activate the Wake Up functionality, it is necessary to set a valid value (different from
0.0.0.0) as IP address of the server (NMS IP Address option) and select the Enable op-
tion.
To deactivate the functionality, it is necessary to select the Disable option or reset the
NMS IP Address option (value 0.0.0.0).
When the Wake Up functionality is activated, the equipment starts sending the Wake Up trap
every minute for the time interval defined by the user (Timeout option). For example, if the val-
ue 60 has been set as timeout, the trap is sent each 60 minutes. At the end of 60 minutes, the
sending of the trap is automatically disabled.
If, in the period when the sending of the trap is enabled, the supervision system intercepts the
Wake Up notification records the presence of the new equipment in its database and disables
the sending of the Wake Up trap by the equipment (trap switch-off).

Through the WEB LCT application, the Factory Default settings of equipment can be restored (see Restore
Factory Default of the equipment).
At the restart or at the new switch-on of the equipment, the Factory Default configuration will be applied.
All the settings executed until then by the user will be deleted (for example, user list, remote equipment
list, etc.).
In order to login to the equipment, the default user must be used. Username: admin - Password: admin.
The communication ports of the equipment will be restored to the addresses pointed out in Tab.2.
These addresses differ depending on the type (High or Low) of ODU. The equipment keeps always in mem-
ory the type (High or Low) of the last connected ODU. If no ODU has never been connected to the IDU,
the addresses of ODU Low must be used. If an ODU of High type is connected to equipment configured
with ODU of Low type (and vice versa), the equipment automatically changes its own default addresses.

Alarms management (info)
The term alarm defines the fault signal generated by an error or malfunction of the equipment or of any
component that composes it.
The signals referring to any event that does not indicates a malfunction but a status change, an operation
in progress or an operating indication are defined status signals.
The term event defines every signal of status, detected alarm and cleared alarm.
A maximum of 500 events are recorded in the equipment controller. When this limit is exceeded, each new
event will overwrite the oldest event.
Displaying alarms
The list of the current alarms is indicates in the Equipment status area.
Enabling/disabling alarms
The equipment alarms can be disabled and re-enabled by the user according to the needs.
Disabling an alarm means that, on the detection of the alarm itself, this is not registered in the
equipment controller and, as consequence, is not communicated to a possible management pro-
gram: as the alarm had never occurred.
On the contrary, enabling an alarm (default condition) means that, when the alarm is detected,
this is registered in the equipment controller and, if the forwarding of the relevant trap is ena-
bled (see next item), the alarm is communicated to the management system and displayed in
the current alarms and the history alarms.
WARNING The enabling/disabling of the alarm is independent for each alarm and local to the
equipment which the operation is executed for. This means that the setting must be executed
for each alarm of each equipment.
Enabling/disabling traps
The trap is a message (in this case of detection or clearing of an alarm) spontaneously sent by
the equipment to a possible external management system, for example NMS5UX-B/NMS5LX.
The forwarding of the trap of each alarm can be disabled and re-enabled by the user according
to his own needs.
Disabling a trap means that, on the detection of the alarm, this is not registered in the equip-
ment controller and, as consequence, is not communicated to a possible management program.
On the contrary, enabling a trap (default condition) means that, on the detection of the alarm,
this is registered in the equipment controller and communicated to the management system,
which displays it in the current alarms and the history alarms.
WARNING The enabling/disabling of the forwarding of the trap is independent for each alarm
and local to the equipment which the operation is executed for. This means that the setting must
be executed for each alarm of each equipment.
Alarm severity
Each alarm acknowledged and managed by the local management program has an associated
severity which determinates the importance of the alarm.
This severity is not fixed, but can be changed by the user as he likes.
Alarms log
With log of the equipment alarms we mean the list of the status and alarm signals currently ac-
tive on the equipment (current alarms) and the signals memorized in the equipment controller
(alarm history).
WEB LCT allows to Save the log of the equipment alarms and to Delete the log of the equipment
alarms.

The equipment uses the FTP protocol for the file transfer (download/upload).
To manage the FTP protocol, as tool auxiliary to WEB LCT application, it is necessary to install and run one
of the following programs:
• Web Lct Console version 1.2.0 or later.
• Standard FTP Server (e.g., free FTP Server FileZilla).
USERS. For a correct management of the data transfer, the credential used to access to WEB LCT
page must be the same configured for the FTP Server.
For this reason, it is suggested to configure, for the FTP Server, the users present in the equip-
ment user list with whom the download/upload operations are executed.
PATH. Define the path of Shared Folder for the file transfer.
The path will be used to save the files in the upload operations and shall be the path (even par-
tial) where are present the files for the download operations.
It is suggested not to save the files in C:\, but to create a sub-folder and set it for the file saving
(e.g. C:\ftp or C:\backup). This allows saving the backup files without being Administrator users
(some Windows versions require to be Administrator user to save the file in C:\).

Users list
The user list is a list of the users who can connect and require to login to the equipment by the
WEB LCT application (WEB user) or the NMS5UX-B/NMS5LX program (SNMP user).
If an user is not present in the list stored in the equipment controller, that user cannot connect
and/or login to the that equipment.
Users are subdivided into groups (for details, see successive paragraphs).
Before creating an user, it is necessary to create the group which the user must be associated
to. One group can contain more users, but one specific user can belong to only one group.
A maximum of 10 groups and 10 users can be created in the equipment user list.
At the first connection with the equipment or after a Factory Default operation, a default group
and a default user are available. Then, through WEB LCT application, new users and groups can
be created, modified and deleted.
The management of the user list can be performed even by NMS5UX-B/NMS5LX system.
Groups
The users belonging to the list are organized in groups for which it is possible to define a profile
and the enabling to the use of FTP, HTTP and SNMP protocols.
The profile and the authorization of a group will be automatically assigned to the user who is
associated to that group.
The characteristics of a group are:
• Name of the group. The name of the group must be unique within an user list.
The name of the group, once assigned, cannot be changed.
• Profile which will be automatically assigned to the users associated to the group:
• Administrator. The user with this profile can both verify the parameters and send
commands or change the equipment configuration with no exception.
• Read/Write. The user with this profile can as check the parameters as send com-
mands or execute changes to the equipment configuration except for the following
operations: modifying the user list, aligning the date/time of the equipment, force
the logout of a user and all those operations available only to the Admin. user.
• Maintenance. The user with this profile can check the parameters and execute
only maintenance operations (MAN OP) in the Manual Operations contextual area
and Radio BER contextual area.
• Read Only. The user with this profile can only check the parameters.
• Protocols which will be available to the users assigned to the group:
• Protocol HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol), used to transfer hypertext pages on
the WEB.
• Protocol SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), which allows monitoring

The bidirectional LLF functionality allows interrupting the connection with the remote equipment (in both
directions) as consequence of the disabling of the LANs of the local equipment due to Link Loss Forwarding.
For the correct configuration of the bidirectional LLF functionality for a radio connection, it is necessary to
perform the operations described in the following example.
Suppose you wish to disable the LAN-1 ports (on local and remote equipment) as consequence of LLF de-
tected by the local LAN-1 port.
Operations to perform for the LOCAL equipment via the WEB LCT page:
b. Configure a port for the management of LLF functionality setting the following values:
Port: LAN 1
LLF Status: Enable
Alarm to Circuit: Enable
Delay Time: any value
c. Configure the radio circuit for the forwarding of the LOS alarm present on LAN selecting LAN 1
in the Ports area and setting the following values:
Circuit: #1 Link ID: ODU-A
LOS to Circuit: Enable
Operations to perform for the REMOTE equipment via the WEB LCT page:
b. Configure a port for the management of LLF functionality setting the following values:
Port: LAN 1
LLF Status: Enable
Alarm to Circuit: Enable
Delay Time: any value
With this configuration, an alarm in reception on the remote terminal causes the activation of LLF alarm
and the consequent disabling of the associated LAN-1 port on both the terminals.

2. Press the option Active relevant to the policy you wish to activate and confirm.
The contextual area displays the policy for the management of the depth of the queues in output (8 queues
per port).
The Switch can insert a limited number of packets into every queue. This limit, indicated as depth, can be
configured by the user. During the period of high traffic, a queue is filled by packets waiting for the trans-
mission. When a queue reaches its limit, by default the Switch discards the packets until when the queue
is not full longer.
Parameters
Profile. Available profiles of the output queues:
• Full shared memory. This configuration, identical for every queue, allows the dynamic
allocation of memory per queue up to 1/8 of the total memory available in every mo-
ment.
• Priority based memory allocation. This configuration is based on the principle for
which the lower priority traffic needs longer queues. The proper forwarding of the
traffic at the different priorities (and queue) allows achieving the wished length.
• Uniform memory allocation. This configuration provides queues with constant length,
independently from the traffic priority. The use of WRED algorithms allows changing
the method used to store the different traffic types, obtaining different depths.

Management of synchronisation
WARNING You can enable the management of synchronization only if the Sync Eth functionality is enabled
(see Equipment Features tab).
Synchronism sources
A synchronism source, in order to be used, must be enabled by the user (see Enable/disable the use of a
synchronism source).
WARNING You can enable the use of the source only if the Sync Eth functionality is enabled (see Equipment
Features tab).
A priority level can be associated to every synchronism source (see Modify the use priority of a synchronism
source).
The source with the highest priority level and whose signal is valid, is used to synchronize the equipment
(if a forcing or a preferential source is not active).
The priority level of the synchronism source is pointed out by a number between 1 and 9, where 1 indicates
the highest priority and 9 the lowest one.
Generally the equipment takes the synchronism from the source with the highest priority level: if this
source is missing or is degraded, the synchronism is taken from the source with priority level immediately
lower.
When the source with highest priority level returns to be valid, the equipment after the WTR time will au-
tomatically start to use it to take the synchronism. If all the synchronism sources (set by the user) become
unavailable, the equipment automatically takes the synchronism from its own internal reference.
The degradation of the signal is caused by the presence of, at least, one of the following conditions:
• The source is not physically present.
• The difference between the source frequency and the internal reference source (STRATUM 3e)
is greater than ± 7 ppm.
If two or more sources with the same priority are activated, these sources will be inserted into a circular
and not Revertive list.
The quality level of one source is contained in the Synchronisation Status Messages (SSM). These messag-
es are periodically transmitted; the absence of a message is considered as condition of failure of the syn-
chronisation mechanism.
The availability quality levels, from higher to lower level, are listed here below:
• PRC (Primary Reference Clock). The source quality is in compliance with Recc. ITU-T G.781 with
extension to G.8264 for Ethernet streams which defines the parameters of the primary reference
clock.
• SSUT (Synchronisation Supply Unit Transit). The source quality is in compliance with Recc. ITU-
T G.781 with extension to G.8264 for Ethernet streams which defines the parameters of the
transit synchronism units.
• SSUL (Synchronisation Supply Unit Local). The source quality is in compliance with Recc. ITU-T
G.781 with extension to G.8264 for Ethernet streams which defines the parameters of the syn-
chronism local units.
• SEC (SDH Equipment Clock). The source quality is in compliance with Recc. ITU-T G.781 with
extension to G.8264 for Ethernet streams which defines the parameters of the equipment clock.
Depending on the type of synchronism source, the modality used to insert and extract the SSM messages
changes as pointed out here below.

WARNING The quality of the synchronism sources is a feature subjected to enabling (Sync quality man-
agement equipment feature).
If this feature is not enabled, all the parameters relevant to the quality management will not be available
(see Verify the equipment feature).
This function foresees the user can force the selection of one synchronism source (see Force the use of a
synchronism source).
This forcing is made without considering the status and the priority of the source.
This function must not be used for the normal operation of the synchronism. It is a maintenance operation
and remains active until the user disables it or the Timeout period of the manual operations expires (if set).
This function foresees the choice of a source to use as preferential among those enabled (see Set a syn-
chronism source as preferential).
When the function of preferential source is not active, the internal synchronism is taken from the enabled
source with highest priority.
When the function of preferential source is activated for a source, this source will be used (in absence of
alarms causing its degradation or forced sources) to take the internal synchronism independently from its
priority level.
This condition is maintained until when the user disables the function of preferential source or the source
signal becomes degraded.
Internal synchronism T0
The synchronism source, which the internal synchronism T0 is extracted from, is determined by the SETS
of the equipment according to the following order of criteria:
• Status of the source (enabled/disabled)
• Forcing of the source
• Status of the signal (valid/degraded)
• Preferential source
• Source priority
The user can force the status of the internal synchronism T0 (see Force the status of the T0 synchronisa-
tion).
The forcing of the status Hold Over or Free Running is not the normal operation of the synchronism T0.
These forcings are maintenance operations and remain active until when the user does not disable them
or the Timeout period of the manual operation expires (if set).

corresponds to 10 dBm, the equipment will communicate to the program the changing of
the transmitted power when the Ptx gets a value < 8 or > 12.
Prx. Resolution used to communicate the changes of the power received by the equip-
ment (Prx) to a possible external management program (trap Prx change).
For instance, if the operator sets a resolution of 2 dB and the last communicated PRx val-
ue corresponds to -70 dBm, the equipment will communicate to the program the chang-
ing of the transmitted power when the PRx gets a value <-72 or > -68.

Every row of the table corresponds to one sampling interval of one instance for which is indicat-
ed:
Time (Sample Start). Start instant (day/month/year, hour/minute/second) of every
sampling interval with which the statistics history data are collected.
Source. Identifier of the Ethernet port which the RMon instance enabled to the count of
the statistics history is associated to.
The identifier is a combination of slot number and the port number (slot number/port
number) followed by the port name:
• Mngt. Management Ethernet port.
• Aux. Auxiliary Ethernet port.
• LAN-1. First line Ethernet port (electric or optical).
• LAN-2. Second line Ethernet port (electric or optical).
• Radio. Ethernet port towards the Radio.
Owner. User who has enabled the instance.
Priority. Priority value (Internal Priority) which the packet in input/output from the port
must have to be counted by the RMon statistics.
Value available and meaningful for RMon instances Port & Priority.
SVID. S-VID (Service VLAN Identifier) which the packet in input/output from the port
must have to be counted by the RMon statistics.
Value available and meaningful for RMon instances Port & C-VID/S-VID when the Switch
is in Provider Bridge or Provider Edge Bridge modality.
CVID. C-VID (Customer VLAN Identifier) which the packet in input/output from the port
must have to be counted by the RMon statistics.
Value available and meaningful for RMon instances Port & C-VID/S-VID when the Switch
is in Customer Bridge modality.
The remnant rows indicate the RMon counters (see Tab.7).

RMon Standard
RMon (Remote Monitoring) is a standard whose function is providing a set of services of statistics
count, monitoring and alarm report with reference to the activity of a LAN network.
These services are defined in terms of MIB (Management Information Base) group described in
the document RFC2819 - Remote Network Monitoring Management Information Base, which
must be read for any further detail.
WARNING The recommended maximum total number of instances (per Port, Port & C-VID/S-
VID e Port & Priority) is 40.
