Optimux-4E1 Ver. 6.0 RADview-NMS/TDM Optimux-4E1 Overview 1-1

Chapter 1

Introduction This chapter provides an overview for managing Optimux-4E1 using the RADview-NMS/TDM Optimux-4E1 management solution. It introduces the graphical user interface. It is assumed that you are familiar with basic RADview-NMS operations. For more information about basic RADview-NMS operations, refer to the RADview-NMS/TDM (PC) or (UNIX) User's Manual.

1.1 Optimux-4E1 Overview

Optimux-4E1 enables you to multiplex up to four E1 channels over an FO link. To multiplex E1 channels, you connect an Optimux-4E1 to each end of the FO link. With RADview-TDM management software, you use a single window to manage the Optimux-4E1 devices at both ends of the FO link.

For additional reliability, you can connect two redundant FO links between the two Optimux-4E1 devices. You can also connect two redundant power supplies to each device.

In a typical Optimux application, devices are set up in pairs. RADview-TDM manages Optimux devices in pairs only.

1.2 RADview-NMS/TDM Optimux-4E1 Overview

RADview provides a complete management solution for monitoring and controlling the Optimux-4E1 device. RADview solutions conform to ITU-T Telecommunication Management Network (TMN) recommendations for SNMP management systems, known as the FCAPS model:

• Fault management – detects and correlates fault in network devices, isolates faults, and initiates recovery actions (as described in Chapter 7).

• Configuration management – tracks configuration changes and configures, installs, and distributes software and configuration files across the network for all network devices (as described in Chapters 3).

• Accounting management – collects accounting data (as described in Chapter 5).

• Performance management – continuously monitors network performance (QoS, CoS) and resource allocation (as described in Chapter 5).

• Security management – controls and restricts access to network resources (as described in Chapter 6).

Chapter 1 Introduction User’s Manual

1-2 RADview-NMS/TDM Optimux-4E1 Overview Optimux-4E1 Ver. 6.0

The following are the management tasks for the Optimux-4E1:

• System level operations

• Device level operations

• Port level operations.

In addition to a brief description of the FCAPS model and chapters in the RADview manual, refer to Table 1-1 for mapping configuration tasks at the system, device, and port levels to the FCAPS model.

Table 1-1 lists the management tasks that are available when you select the entire system.

Optimux-4E1 Ver. 6.0 Connecting Optimux-4E1 to a Management Station 2-1

Chapter 2

Installation and Operation This chapter identifies the steps required to setup and enable the Network Management Station. It also describes the RADview/TDM Optimux-4E1 graphic user interface (GUI).

2.1 Preconfiguring Optimux-4E1 for Management

Optimux-4E1 can be managed by any SNMP-based network management station, provided IP communication is possible with the management station.

To manage the Optimux-4E1 from a remote NMS, it is necessary to pre-configure the basic parameters using a supervision terminal connected to the Optimux-4E1 CONTROL port.

You can find detailed instructions on pre-configuring the Optimux-4E1 for management in the Optimux-4E1 Installation and Operation Manual.

In Chapter 3 of the Optimux-4E1 Installation and Operation Manual you will find the supervision terminal login procedure, and the preliminary configuration instructions to be performed by means of the supervision terminal.

2.2 Connecting Optimux-4E1 to a Management Station

Optimux-4E1 is usually connected to the LAN on which the NMS station is also attached.

To connect Optimux-4E1 to a network management station:

1. Connect a cable from one of the Ethernet switch or hub serving the management network to the MNG-ETH port of the Optimux-4E1.

2. After connecting the port to an active LAN, its LINK indicator lights. The ACT indicator of the port will flash, or appear to light steadily, in accordance with the traffic. Optimux-4E1 can now be managed by the NMS.

6-4 Security Optimux-4E1 Ver. 6.0

6.3 Security

RADview/OV on UNIX supports the Security feature. Security defines different types of users: Administrator, Operator, Technician and Monitor.

Each user type has different access permission to Product's Application data. Some of them have RW access to all or part of the menus and dialog boxes; others have only RO access to part of the menus/dialog boxes. The menu looks the same for all users. If a user who has only RO access attempts to enter a dialog box, or to select a menu entry for which this user has no permission, or to press the Set button (or a similar RW one), a message box will be displayed, stating that the user has no access to the selected entry/dialog box/operation.

When a RW menu entry or a dialog box is allowed (to Set) for a Technician, the paragraph detailing this entry/dialog box will include (T) at the end.

When a RW menu entry or a dialog box is allowed (to Set) for a Monitor, the paragraph detailing this entry/dialog box will include (M) at the end. In this case, a Technician is also allowed to perform Set.

The Print and Refresh buttons are enabled for Monitor users.
