How to Upgrade on a Windows Platform
This instruction describes how to upgrade an Element Manager installation on a Windows platform.
Procedure
Step 1 If you are upgrading from an Element Manager version prior to R9.3.3 to R9.3.3 or higher, back up the files containing the user accounts and license. Do as follows:
a) Use Windows Explorer or similar to navigate to sub-folder dat in the Element Manager installation folder.
This is typically C:\Program Files\ADVA Optical Networking\FSP 3000R7 Element Manager.
b) Copy the files users.xml and em.lic to a safe location.
Step 2 Un-install your current Element Manager version as described in “How to Uninstall” on p. 33.
Step 3 Install the new Element Manager version as described in “How to Install on a Windows Platform” on p. 32.
Step 4 Edit any existing personal shortcuts to the previously installed Ele-ment Manager version so they point to the newly installed EleEle-ment Manager version.
During the un-installation and installation in the previous steps any existing personal shortcuts were handled as follows:
• The un-installation process did not remove them. • The installation process did not update them.
If you do not edit such personal shortcuts, they may still work, but the Element Manager will be started with parameters from the previous installation. This means that the Element Manager may be started with wrong memory settings.
Step 5 If you are upgrading from an Element Manager version prior to R9.3.3 to R9.3.3 or higher, copy the backed up files users.xml and em.lic to the %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\FSP 3000R7 Element Manager \dat folder. Say Yes to overwrite the existing files.

management via the Managed Element pane. This allows you to keep a long list of NEs, without needing to connect to other ones than the ones you wish to manage at the moment. When the number of activated NEs is large, this results in a high memory consumption. Reducing the number of activated NEs reduces the memory consumption.
When the memory consumption passes 90% of the memory allocated to the Element Manager, a warning window appears. The window will provide guid-ance on recovering from this situation. A warning message will also appear in the Response Log, and the Status bar memory indicator will turn red.
There are two ways to add IP connections in the Element Manager. Either by adding a specific, known IP address or by letting the Element Manager discover all NEs in an address range. The latter is practical if you need to add several NEs.
The NEs send traps using the NE’s system IP address as the trap sender iden-tity. The Element Manager disregards traps with sender identities that do not match any of the NEs that it is connected to. Therefore, the Element Manager must connect to NEs using the NEs system IP addresses.
The following topics are provided:

How to Add a Single IP Connection
This instruction describes how to add a single Network Element to the Element Manager’s list of managed elements.
It is also possible to add new IP connections by selecting the Add button in the Managed Elements window. To open the Managed Elements window, see “How to Modify IP Connections” on p. 51.
Procedure
Step 1 From the Main Menu select File -> New.

Step 2 Enter the relevant SNMP parameters for the new managed Network Element in the SNMP Parameters section. Do as follows:
a) Enter the system IP address of the NE you want to connect to in the IP Address field. The system IP address is the loop-back IP address for the NE, and is used as the SNMP trap sender address, the OSPF router ID, and for ring group switching. Ensure that the IP address you enter is not a broadcast or subnet address.
b) Enter the UDP port number that the NE Software (SNMP agent) occupies for communicating with the Element Manager, in the Port field. This is by default 161.
c) Enter the number of seconds the Element Manager shall wait for a response after sending a message to the NE, in the Timeout field. If no response is received after this number of seconds, the Element Manager sends the message again. This value must be less than the polling interval value.
d) Enter the maximum number of times the Element Manager shall retry sending a message, in the Retry field. If no response is recevied after this number of retries, the network element con-cludes that the NE is not responding.
Normally the default value for this item is adequate. However, in heavily loaded networks, the number of retries should be increased to ensure that contact with the NE is not lost. If you do increase the number of retries, you should also increase the poll-ing interval value to reduce the total load on the network.
e) Use the Polling Status drop-down list to specify whether Element Manager shall poll the NE or not. The Element Manager polling mechanism only checks whether the SNMP Agent responds to “Get” requests.
f) Enter the number of seconds there shall be between subsequent polling requests, in the Polling Interval field.
Normally the default value for this item is adequate. However, in heavily loaded networks, the polling interval value should be increased to reduce the total load on the network. This value must be larger than the timeout value.
Step 3 Use the radio buttons in the SNMP Access section to specify how the Element Manager shall access the NE’s SNMP agent.
• If you select SNMPv1, Element Manager will use SNMPv1 set-tings when accessing the NE. Go to Step 4 and configure these settings.
• If you select SNMPv3, Element Manager will use SNMPv3 set-tings when accessing the NE. Go to Step 7 and configure these settings.

a) Enter the community string the Element Manager shall use when sending SNMP Get requests to the NE, in the Read Community field.
b) Enter the community string the Element Manager shall use when sending SNMP Set requests to the NE, in the Write Community field.
Step 6 Continue from Step 9.
Step 7 If you previously specified use of SNMPv3: The SNMPv3 Access sec-tion will appear in the Add Managed Element window.

a) Enter the user name the Element Manager shall use when send-ing SNMP Get and Set requests to the NE, in the User field. b) Select the security level, using the Security Level drop-down list.
The following options are available:
• No Auth No Priv, this means that authentication and encryp-tion will not be performed.
• Auth No Priv, this means that authentication will be per-formed, but no encryption.
• Auth Priv, this means that authentication and encryption will be performed.
c) If you selected Auth No Privor Auth Priv

Step 3 In the Discovery Configuration section, specify the address range by entering information in the Start Address and End Address fields. The maximum range is 255 addresses.
Step 4 In the SNMP Configuration section, specify the parameters that Ele-ment Manager shall use when contacting the IP addresses specified above. Do as follows:
a) Enter the NE port that Element Manager shall use when contact-ing potential NEs, in the Port field.
b) The discovery process will only be able to contact NEs that actu-ally use this port.Enter the number of seconds the Element Man-ager shall wait for a response after sending a message to the potential NE IP addresses, in the Timeout field. If no response is received, the Element Manager sends the message again. The maximum value accepted is 60 seconds. This parameter directly influences how long time the discovery process will take.
c) Enter the maximum number of times the Element Manager shall retry sending a message to the potential NE IP addresses, in the Retries field. The maximum number of retries is 3. This parameter directly influences how long time the discovery process will take. d) Enter the community string the Element Manager shall use when
sending SNMP Get requests to the potential NE IP addresses, in the Read Community field. The discovery process will only be able to contact NEs that also use this community string.

Accessing Trap Recipients
This instruction describes how to enter the management computer, or another computer, into an NE’s trap recipients table. The NE will send traps to the IP addresses registered in the trap recipients table.
However, the Element Manager discards received traps that do not have a sender identity that it can find in its Managed Elements table. The NE uses its system IP address as sender identification, so if an NE is not added to the Man-aged Elements table with its system IP address, then traps from that NE will not be registered by the Element Manager.
The Element Manager polls the NE regularly and reads traps from it, so the Ele-ment Manager will be kept up to date, even if it does not receive the traps when they are sent. However, the poll interval could be long, for example in order to reduce network traffic.
FSP 3000R7 allows a maximum of ten IP addresses to be entered into an NE trap recipients table.
The following supporting topics are provided: “The Add Trap Recipient Window” on p. 55 “The Modify Trap Recipient Window” on p. 56 “The Delete Trap Recipient Window” on p. 56

In response, the Trap Recipients window appears.
The title bar of the dialog window shows the name of the NE. The dia-log window contains a table with three columns:
Step 2 Activate use of either SNMP version 1 or version 3 traps, by selecting the SNMPv1 or SNMPv3 radio buttons.
Step 3 Enter the management computer running the Element Manager by selecting the Add <management computer IP address> button. See “The Add Trap Recipient Window” on p. 55.
Step 4 Enter any relevant IP address by using the command buttons Add, Modify and Delete as appropriate and as described in “The Modify Trap Recipient Window” on p. 56 and “The Delete Trap Recipient Window” on p. 56.
Column Name Description
Address Displays the IP addresses of the computers that are already in the NE’s trap recipients table. Port Displays the UDP port number that the NE sends
traps through. By default this is UDP port 162. Community /
User Name
This column has a different name depending on which SNMP version you have selected. For SNMPv1 this is called Community and displays the community string in the SNMP traps to this trap destination. For SNMPv3 this column is called User Name.

The Add Trap Recipient Window
This instruction describes how to enter information when adding an IP address to a NE’s trap recipients table. This instruction assumes that you have already opened the Trap Recipients window.
Procedure
Step 1 Select the Add button or Add <management computer IP address> but-ton.
Step 2 In the Address field, enter the IP address of the computer you wish to add to the trap recipient table.
Step 3 Suggested value for Port is displayed, modify this as needed.
Step 4 In the Version drop-down list, select SNMPv1 or SNMPv3. You should only choose SNMPv3 if SNMPv3 is used for the NE.
Step 5 The last field depends on which SNMP version you have selected. • For SNMPv1, set a value for Community. The community you
enter here, has to be identical to the community that is used for the NE.
• For SNMPv3, set a value for User Name. The user name you enter here, has to be identical to the user name that is used for the NE.
Step 6 Select OK to apply or Cancel to abort.
