5 GENERAL ON ALCATEL CUSTOMER DOCUMENTATION
5.1 Products, product-releases, versions and Customer Documentation
A product is defined by the network hierarchical level where it can be inserted and by the whole of per-formance and services for which it is meant.A product evolves through successive product-releases which are the real products marketed fortheir delivery at a certain product-release availability date.
So, a productrelease defines a set of hardware components and a software package which, as a whole,identify the possible network applications and the equipment performance which the specific product-re-lease has been designed, engineered and marketed for.
In some cases a product-release has further development steps, named versions, that are born toimprove or add some performance (mainly software) with respect to the previous version, or for bug fixingpurposes.
A product-release has its own standard Customer Documentation, composed by one or more hand-books.
A new version of a product-release may or may not produce a change in the status of the CustomerDocumentation set, as described in para.5.4 on page 16.
5.2 Handbook supply to Customers
Handbooks are not automatically delivered together with the equipment they refer to.The number of handbooks per type to be supplied must be decided at contract level.
5.3 Aims of standard Customer Documentation
Standard Customer Documentation, referred to hereafter, must be always meant as plant-independent.Plant-dependent documentation, if envisaged by the contract, is subjected to commercial criteria as faras contents, formats and supply conditions are concerned (plant-dependent documentation is notdescribed here).Standard hardware and software documentation is meant to give the Customer personnel the possibilityand the information necessary for installing, commissioning, operating and maintaining the equipment ac-cording to AlcatelTelecom Laboratory design choices.In particular the contents of the handbooks associated to the software applications focus on theexplanation of the man-machine interface and of the operating procedures allowed by it.
Consequently, no supply to the Customers of design documentation (like software source programs, pro-gramming tools, etc.) is envisaged.

starting from it, but not to the previous ones), the handbook name, the handbook P/N, the handbook edition (usually first edition=01), the handbook issue date. The date on the handbook does not refer to the date of print but to the date
on which the handbook source file has been completed and released for the production.
5.4.1 Changes introduced in the same product-release (same handbook P/N)The edition and date of issue might change on future handbook versions for the following reasons:
only the date changes (pointed out in the Table of Contents) when modifications are made to the edi-torial system not changing the technical contents of the handbook.
the edition, hence the date, is changed because modifications made concern technical contents. Inthis case:
the table in para. 1.2 on page 3 indicates the section(s) edition change; in each section, the main changes with respect to the previous edition are listed; in affected chapters of each section, revision bars on the left of the page indicate modifications
in text and drawings (this is done after the first officially released and validated version).Changes concerning the technical contents of the handbook cause the edition number increase (e.g. fromEd.01 to Ed.02). Slight changes (e.g. for corrections) maintain the same edition but with the addition ofa version character (e.g. from Ed.02 to Ed.02A).
NOTES FOR HANDBOOKS RELEVANT TO SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS
Handbooks relevant to software applications (typically the Operators Handbooks) are not mod-ified unless the new software version distributed to Customers implies manmachine interfacechanges or in case of slight modifications not affecting the understanding of the explained pro-cedures.
Moreover, should the screen prints included in the handbook contain the product-releases ver-sion marking, they are not replaced in the handbooks related to a subsequent version, if thescreen contents are unchanged.
5.4.1.1 Supplying updated handbooks to Customers
Supplying updated handbooks to Customers who have already received previous issues is submitted tocommercial criteria.By updated handbook delivery it is meant the supply of a complete copy of the handbook new issue(supplying erratacorrige sheets is not envisaged).
5.4.2 Changes due to a new product-release
A new product-release changes the handbook P/N and the edition starts from 01.In this case the modified parts of the handbook are not listed.

5.5 Customer documentation supply on CDROM
In the following CDROM means Customer Documentation on CDROM
5.5.1 Contents, creation and production of a CDROM
In most cases, a CDROM contains the documentation of one productrelease(version) and for a certainlanguage.In some other cases, the same CDROM can contain the documentation of differentproductrelease(version)s for a certain language.As a general rule:
CDROMs for Network Management products do not contain:
the Installation Guides
the documentation of system optional features that Customers could not buy from Alcatel to-gether with the main applicative SW.
CDROMs for Network Elements products do not contain:
the documentation of system optional features (e.g. System Installation Handbooks related toracks that Customers could not buy from Alcatel together with the main equipment).
the Installation and Turnup & Commissioning handbooks
A CDROM is obtained collecting various handbooks and processing them by InterleafWorldViewPress after the manual addition of some hyperlinks which make the navigation through the various hand-books easier. No additional information is added to each handbook, so that the documentation presentin the CDROMs is exactly the same the Customer would receive on paper.
The files processed in this way are then transferred on a PC where the viewer (InterleafWorldView) isadded and a master CDROM is recorded.
Suitable checks are made in order to have a virusfree product.
After a complete functional check, the CDROM image is electronically transferred to the archive of theProduction Department, so that the CDROM can be produced and delivered to Customers.

5.5.3 CDROM identification
Each CDROM is identified:
1 ) by the following external identifiers, that are printed both on the booklet and the CDROM uppersurface: the name of the productrelease(s) (and version when the CDROM is applicable to
the versions starting from it, but not to the previous ones), a writing indicating the language(s), the CDROM P/N (Factory P/N 417.xxx.xxx x and ANV P/N), the CDROM edition (usually first edition=01)
2 ) and, internally, by the list of the source handbooks and documents (P/Ns and editions) by whosecollection and processing the CDROM itself has been created.
5.5.4 CDROM updating
The list of source handbook/document P/Nseditions indicated in previous para.5.5.3 point 2 ) , inassociation with the CDROMs own P/Nedition, is also loaded in the AlcatelInformationSystem as astructured list.
Whenever a new edition of any of such handbooks/documents is released in the Alcatel archive system,a check in the AlcatelInformationSystem is made to identify the list of CDROMs that must be updatedto include the new editions of these handbooks/documents.
This causes the planning and creation of a new edition of the CDROM.
Updating of CDROMs always follows, with a certain delay, the updating of the single handbookscomposing the collection.

2.1.1 Topological Components
Network:A path that crosses two Networks cannot be managed by 1354RM as a single transport entity (i.e.it will be represented with two paths)
Subnetwork:A Network can be composed by more than one subnetworks)
2nd level Subnetwork:It represents a partitioning of a subnetwork.
Node:It represents the image of a Network Element.
Physical Connection:It is the logical representation of fibers and coaxial cables, between network ports
EML Domain:It represents one EMLIM component of 1353NM.
NE:It represents a physical NE.
Network port:It represents the physical port where e.g. the fiber is connected.Example:A STM16 port of a SDH NE.An OTS port of a DWDM NE.
Access port:It represents the physical port where the client signal is added/dropped.Example:a PDH port of a SDH NE.

2.1.2 Transport Entities
Section:It is a trail at Multiplex Section Layer.Example:MSTrail between two STMn ports of two adjacent SDH NEs.OMSTrail between two OTS ports of two adjacent DWDM NEs.
HO (Higher Order) Trail:An HO Trail is a HO route (e.g. infrastructure pipe) between two (either adjacent or not) SDH NEs.It is delimited by two CAPs (Client Access Points) and it can be configured to carry LO traffic.
Path:A path (can be at either HO or LO path layer) is a route established in the SDH/SONET network. Itis delimited by NAPs (Network Access Points).Example:A VC12 path delimited by two VC12 NAPs
Link Connection:It is an arc delimited by the two CTPs with the same timeslot and it is supported by the same serverTrailExample:An Au4 Link Connection is delimited by two corresponding AU4 CTPs and it supported by a MSTrail.
2.1.2.1 Network Construction
The operator can: Define the submaps according to the preferred network partitioning Define the physical connections Define the Network Protection Architectures one per each 2nd level subnetworkTo each access port the related Network Access Point is available.
Moreover the following feature is available:
Add/Remove Network Element in Subnetwork and in Elementary Topology including Join/SplitPhysical Link Connection management.
The map provides a network view partitioned in subnetworks, which can be partitioned in 2ndlevel subnetworks, and nodes (submaps may have a geographical background). This maprepresentation is created during the network construction process.
The different views are organized in hierarchical trees. Zooming operations allow the user to navigatethrough a tree of hierarchical views.
2.1.2.2 Path Management
1354RM can manage the following path categories:
Terminated, non terminated Unidirectional, bidirectional Pointtopoint, pointtomultipoint Unprotected, endtoend protected, enhanced protected by means of drop and continue fa-
cilities,
With automatic/semiautomatic protected or not protected route selection.

A path can be in the defined, allocated, implemented, and commissioned state. The picture describes theadmitted state transitions.
Defined Allocated Implemented Commissioned
Create Allocate Implement Commission
Delete DeAllocate DeImplement DeCommission
Figure 1. Path configuration status states
In the next paragraphs the description of management of these phases is provided.
2.1.2.3 Path Definition
During this phase the path description is stored in the data base; in the following the main information arelisted:
Path name Path type (i.e. unidirectional, bidirectional or point to multipoint) Protection type Rate AEnd and ZEnd points Allocation/implementation rules Alarm enable/disable for the involved path up to the commissioning state.
2.1.2.4 Path Allocation
The path allocation can be performed either automatically (i.e. immediately after the creation) or manuallyon user request.During this phase the idle resources (link connections, crossconnections) are selected in order to assignthem to the path.The routing search is performed on a lower cost basis applying the Dijkstra cost model, which assigns acost value to all relevant resources. The cost model is dynamic and it is influenced by the presence ofprotections.Upon operator request the cost values can be:
modified by the operator himself or automatically modified, in order to provide a balanced load of the network when resources become
scarcer.
When this activity is successfully terminated, the selected resources are locked; please notice that at theend of this phase the path does not yet exist in the network.
2.1.2.5 Path Implementation
The path implementation can be performed either automatically after allocation or later, on user request.During this phase, 1354RM sends the proper crossconnection (identified at allocation time) messagesto the relevant NEs via 1353SH/GEM.

Only if this scenario is successfully completed, the path becomes implemented, i.e. a real connection be-tween the selected endpoints exists in the network.In this state it is possible to activate loopbacks on ports, in order to validate the path itself.
2.1.2.6 Path Commissioning
When test activities are terminated, the path is ready for service and the operator can declare it commis-sioned. The alarm reporting related to the path is enabled, just in case it was inhibited before.
2.1.3 1330AS
1330AS is an ALMAP Generic Component, which is in charge to manage the network alarms generatedby 1354RM as soon as an elementary alarm affects a network resource (e.g. path, trail).1330AS is the entry point for the operator to perform fault management and fault localization and it providecapabilities for define alarm synthesis, alarm acknowledge, alarm archiving etc.
2.1.4 System Management Features
Main system utilities are:
Operator Administration functions: Add Operator, Remove Operator, List Operators, ChangePassword, List Current Login, List Successful Login and List Unsuccessful Login.
Console Administration functions: Add Operator Console, Remove Operator Console, List Oper-ator Consoles, Lock Operator Console and Unlock Operator Console.
System Log functions: List System Messages, List Archived Messages and List restored Mes-sages.
Periodic Actions functions: Show Scheduling Time, Set Scheduling Time and Cancel SchedulingTime, bearing in mind that the term periodic actions here refers to System Management Functions.Also, the communication between the 1354RM and the registered Element Managers is tested peri-odically, being an alarm generated when a communication test fails.
Backup & Restore functions: It is possible to automatically backup data periodically, since onlinefull backup is supported. It is possible to do a complete full backup on Operator request and to getinformation on planned actions. It is possible to disable automatic operation and restore a full or anincremental backup. Restore is offline and 1354RM shall be previously shutdown.
System Start/Stop functions: Start System, Stop System, Show System State, Autostart Enable/Disable and Show Autostart State.
2.1.5 Fault Management
Incoming NE elementary alarms are managed by 1354RM in order to detect which network entities (e.g.paths, trails) are impacted and to notify, if any, to the operator the resulting network alarm(s).The elementary alarms are processed prioritizing, root problems against the effects. In case of alarm flood-ing, 1354RM continues to process the primary alarms, discarding, if necessary, the secondary ones. Whenthis abnormal condition is finished, 1354RM can execute the alarm resynchronization.The network alarms are generated by the system for physical connections, trails, and paths.The severity of this type of alarms can be modified relying on the alarm severity assignment profile man-agement available in 1354RM.For the path and HOtrail alarms, the alarm is generated when the traffic is affected.

Each network alarm (X.733 compliant) provides information about the affected resource, alarm type, prob-able cause, severity, timestamp and so on.All the current network alarm information is shown to the operator in the current alarms list. The alarm fieldsare customizable by the user. After the operator acknowledgement and alarm clearing the network alarmis moved into the historical alarm log. As default, the system provides alarms counters related the totalalarms in the domain and to each managed alarm severity (critical, major, minor, warning, indeterminate),and cleared alarms. The user can define other type counters according his needs.Starting from the alarm list it is possible for a specific network alarm to retrieve information about the ele-mentary alarms correlated to it.Network management topological objects (NE, ring, subnetwork,...) containing the alarmed object (TP,port, ...) are graphically displayed according the color of the highest alarm severity.

2.1.6 Performance Monitoring Management
In order to manage PM Data for Quality Of Service (QoS) and maintenance correlated to services (e.g.paths), 1354RM provides a dedicated application.By means of it the operator can manage PM measures, which can group together a set of transport entities(paths or trails) having a common performance goal.A measure (with 15 minutes and/or 24 hours periodicity) allows to collect the PM counters belonging tospecific Termination Point (TP) in order to control the performance of the related transport entities.After the selection of a transport entity, 1354RM selects, as monitored points, the termination points of thetransport entity, e.g. for a path will select NAPs or border CTPs depending it is terminated or not.Intermediate CTPs of a transport entity can be monitored as well.Depending on the capability offered by the NEs, the operator can define and activate the Threshold Cross-ing Alarm profiles for NAPs and CTPs.

3 REGIONAL MANAGER GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE PRINCIPLES
3.1 Generalities
The Regional Manager user interface is based on the Hewlett Packard Open View Windows (HPOVW)standard customized by Alcatel and on normal X windows. This section will describe the different elementscomposing the interface as well as the users general environment.
The users work environment can be partitioned into the following utilities:
Keyboards: the different keys and the actions they induce will be defined. Mouse: the operation of the different buttons will be explained. Workspace: A workspace is the screen area where you bring the applications needed for your work,
arrange them to suit your preferences, and put them away after finishing your job. Each workspaceoccupies the entire display, and you switch from one workspace to another using a control.
Icon: A small, graphic representation of an object on the workspace. Objects can be iconified(turned into icons) to clear a cluttered workspace and normalized (returned to their originalappearance) as needed. Processes executing in an object continue to execute when the object isiconified.
Windows: the windows general layout, menu and configuration (size)
