 –  In the fieldServer , enter the name of the PC where the TNMS CT Server is installed.

If you are logging on directly to the PC where the TNMS CT Server is installed, enter

“localhost”.

 –  In the field User name enter the default value “Administrator”. This account is created automatically during the installation of TNMS CT.

 –  When you log on for the first time, the fieldPassword is not completed.

 –   After confirming the entry via the Login button, change the password for the default administrator account as requested.

g

If you are using TNMS CT in LCT mode, the field Server  will not be active as Client and Server are always installed on the same m achine.

Import licenses

Before working with TNMS CT, its components have to b e licensed. The following license types are distinguished:

 –  Basic license

Each TNMS CT system requires its own license.

 –  NE license

Each NEC managed by TNMS CT requires its own license.

 –  Optional feature license

In case of additionally installed optional features, further licenses are required as well.

In order to import the licenses open theLicense Information window using Configura-tion ->License... Here, clickImport... on the toolbar and select the path and file of your license XML file.

Depending on whether SW and/or HW have bee n pre-installed by Nokia Siemens Networks staff, you have been provided w ith the necessary license file, or you have to request it via e-mail. In case of problems concerning licensing, please contact Nokia Siemens Networks Technical Sales.

User Manual (UMN) Installation

Configure user accounts

 A default administrator account is created during installation. Additional accounts can now be created as required.

Define log configuration settings

The available size of the various log files on the hard disk should be determined.

Settings can be entered for the size of the Alarm Log and System Message Log.

 All log files are installed in the TNMS installation directory under Logs. On the HD parti-tion where the TNMS is installed there should be at least 1 GB free d isk space during operation. If the log file size changes (expands) check the necessary disk space again.

Configure Server 

 After TNMS CT installation, the server, i.e. the Serial Line Server for local connection or the TNMS CT Server for Ethernet connection, must be linked up to the TNMS CT via the DCN Management View (see Chp. 4.3.6).

Configure and activate DCN channels

DCN channels are also configured in the DCN Management View. Once configured, the channel settings should be checked, e.g. for scheduling communication.

Configure network elements

In the DCN Management View select the Serial Line Server and check the properties of all pre configured subordinate nodes. It is not necessary to activate a node because this is performed by the automatic connection feature of the Serial Line View.

Next select the TNMS CT Server and add the appropriate DCN channels. Then network elements can be added to the DCN channels. The required network element type can be selected from the list. Alternatively, GNEs may be added to the channels, which will automatically discover the NEs in the associated OSPF area. The NEs a re configured by completing each tab page as described in the Online Help.

Setup the network map

The network map can now be set u p using the TNMS CTNetwork View. This must be done on the basis of planning data (when installing the system the first time) or by migra-tion of data used in formerly software versions (in case of software updates).

TheSerial Line View allows the establishment of a connection to a single NE using the Serial Line Interface (F-Interface).

g

^TheSerial Line View is supported for LCT and NCT mode via F-Interface.

TheNetwork View is supported for LCT and NCT mode via Ethernet Interface, i.e. QB3 Interface.

Configure GNE list handling

g

The configuration of GNE list handling is only available for hiT 7300 NE’s.

 At the NE Property Pages set two additional variables:

 • GNE list retries

This variable defines the number of attempts to connect to the NE via the alternative route before holding on. The default number o f attempts is three (3).

 • GNE hold on time

This variable defines the time the system should wait before reattempting to connect to the NE via the list of GNEs. The default is one minute (1 mn).

Further settings

Further settings can be configured depending on the individual customers needs, e.g.

color settings for alarms.
