2. GENERAL INTRODUCTION ON VIEWS AND MENUS
In this chapter the organization of the EML--USM screen, presented after the NE login, is described.
First is introduced the view organization, than the accessible menu options are listed.
At the end some further advice are given for Navigation principles.
2.1 EML--USM view organization
The EML--USM view (see Figure 1.) is the first window presented to the operator after the login.
It contains the following fields, which provide you with information needed to manage the NE:
. Severity alarm synthesis, . Domain alarm synthesis,
. Management status control panel . View title,
. View area
. Message/state area
The Menu bar and the View area contained in the same NE view permits to perform all the configuration and supervision and display the specific selected item.
The view organization is detailed in the Basic Craft Terminal Operator Handbook to which refer for the description, except for the following information, that differs according the NE type:
-- Domain alarm synthesis
The different alarm domain type in which can be subdivided the NE is: Synchronization, External Point, Equipment, and Transmission.
Information about the alarms and status is given in the Maintenance section of this handbook.

2.3 Advices on Navigation principles
Navigation rules are the same for all the NE using the same Craft Terminal Info Model.
This general rules are described in the "Basic Craft Terminal Operator Handbook". In this paragraphs are instead inserted menu options typical for this Ne involved in Navigation and example of Navigation.
To reach a particular view of the NE there are several ways (navigation is also possible mixing the different ways):

• Double click on the selected object
• Select the object and use the Open object or Open in Window option of the
View pull down menu
• Use the Menu option tree structure. The View pull down menu permits to
show the following menus: - - Equipment
- - Transmission
- - Synchronization
- - External Points
The menu structure permits to open the same window following several menu paths.
EXAMPLE: to obtain the "Create Cross Connection" window:
• First navigation path:
Open View - Transmission pull down menu
Open Transmission - Cross Connection - Cross Connection Management pull down menu
Select Create option in the presented window • Second navigation path:
Open View - Equipment pull down menu Double click on Board
Select the Board to access the Board view Open Board - Port Access pull down menu
Open Port - Cross Connection - Create Cross Connection pull down menu • Third navigation path:
Open Configuration - Cross Connection Management pull down menu Select Create option in the presented window
The menu structure also permits to pass from a view menu to another (i.e. from "port view" to "board view" or to "transmission view") thus facilitating the operator’s activity.

The first level of the "Equipment view" representation will be displayed directly into the current window, immediately after the NE login.
The Equipment view enables a fast navigation through all levels of the equipment hierarchy.
Navigation is done from higher to lower levels. The NE hierarchy is generally organized in the following way:
Subrack > board > port > TP.
Double clicking on the objects performs the navigation through different levels of the NE hierarchy:
• The first level shows the Subrack level of the Equipment view
• By double clicking on a board body, the board level of the Equipment view
can be reached.
• Further, by double clicking on a port body contained in the board, the port
level of the Equipment view can be reached. The port view displays the
inner TPs.
• It is possible to go back to the upper level of representation by pressing the
<ESC> key on the keyboard; It is also possible to:
- - Go back to the previous view, by selecting the Backward option
from the views menu
- - Go to the next view, by selecting the Forward option from the view
menu.
N.B. Selecting in the first level of the Equipment view the Show supporting
equipment option from the Equipment menu, the Rack level view (Example) is
presented.
In the Rack Level view one Subrack is presented:
- The 1642EMC subrack, named SR42C (Example)
Further, selecting in the Rack level view the Show supporting
equipment option from the Equipment menu, the Equipment level

3. NE MANAGEMENT SUPERVISION
This chapter is dedicated to the NE states and NE access.
3.1 NE management states
The elementary building blocks of any telecommunication network are the Network Elements (NEs).
Operating with the Craft Terminal the NE can present different management states according to the condition of the connection (supervision, local access, connection state, etc). Also general Alarm status is presented.
Management states are present at Network Element Synthesis view level and at
USM--EML view level.
All the information referred to the management states are inserted in the Basic Craft Terminal Operator’s Handbook.
Any disruption in the communication link between the CT and the NE results in an update of the management states when the CT has detected the communication failure.
3.2 NE supervision and login
The Network Element Synthesis views enable you to get access to the current NE EML-USM view described in this handbook.
The Network Element Synthesis views enable you to work on local or remote NE, selecting it and activating "Supervision" and "Login", as described in the Basic Craft Terminal Operator's Handbook.

4. NE MANAGEMENT GENERAL CONFIGURATION
In this chapter general configuration referred to the equipment management are described (Craft Terminal access, NE Time, Alarms configuration, etc).
4.1 Access state (allow or inhibit NE Craft access)
The NE can be managed by the OS or by the Craft Terminal. To control the competition of the OS and the CT, a Local Access Control (LAC) is available. If the LAC is "granted" that means the CT is allowed to manage the NE. In the view the icon with a key symbol has a rectangular shape.
If the LAC is "access denied" that means the OS manages the NE and the CT is not allowed to modify NE configuration (it can only "read"). In the view the icon with a
key symbol has a circular shape.
If the LAC is "requested" that means the CT has requested permission from the OS and is waiting for a replay.
However the OS does continue to provide a certain number of services. These services includes:
• Reception and processing of alarms,
• Performance processing on TPs,
• Switching back to the OS access state.
The access state of an NE can be modified from two types of views:
4.1.1 Switching from the OS to the Craft Terminal access state
Select the Supervision pull down menu. Then select the Requested option from the Access State cascading menu as shown in the following figure.

From the confirmation dialogue box that opens you can confirm or cancel the "Craft access" operation using the Yes or No push buttons. The request is up to the OS that accept or refuse it.
If the OS doesn't answer in a predefined time it is assumed that the NE is in the Craft access state and can be managed from a Craft Terminal.
4.1.2 Switching from the Craft Terminal access state back to the OS access state
Select the Supervision pull down menu. Then select the OS... option from the
Access State.
From the confirmation dialogue box that opens you can confirm or cancel the "OS access" operation.
The NE is now managed by the OS.
N.B. The key symbol icon on the management states of the NE view indicates
whether the NE is managed by a craft terminal or by the OS.
N.B. Local Craft Terminal access is denied on recovery phase after a loss of
communication of the NE. When communication is lost with the NE, the OS
automatically recovers the communication and put the state that was set before the loss of communication (therefore the Craft Terminal access can be denied or granted).
4.2 NE Time management
The NE local time of a selected NE can be visualized and/or re-aligned on the OS time basis.
In this view the OS indication identifies the Craft Terminal.
The status of the Network Time Protocol can be checked
Select the NE Time... option from the Configuration pull down menu.
Figure 9 Consulting and/or setting the local NE time.
The following dialogue box is opened from which you can get and/or set the local NE time and check the NTP Status.

Figure 10 NE Time dialogue box.
The following fields are available:
• NTP Status section (read only) with the following parameters:
NTP protocol
It can be enabled (in the NTP Server Configuration) or disabled or empty (greyed).
NTP Main and NTP Spare
It displays the status of the Main and Spare NTP: reachable or
unreachable.
• Time section with the following data:
NE Time and OS Time
It displays (read only) the time of the Network Element and of the OS (Craft Terminal).
Set NE Time With OS Time
It permits to align the NE time with the time of the Craft Terminal.
