A.1 Background
This section describes the service ports used by management systems. To ensure the network security, you can take measures on the customer's network. The following are the two cases that affect the network security: l Security filtering settings such as routers or firewalls are configured in the network environment where the NMS runs. When carrying out the project, avoid the service ports used by the NMS being filtered by those security filtering settings. Some service ports providing system services are closed to prevent network or virus attacks. Note that the service ports used by the NMS should not be closed, and otherwise the NMS will not run properly.

A Alarm hold-off time
Glossary
Alarm delay includes start delay and end delay. An alarm is not regarded as being generated until the NE has been detecting it for a period of time, and this period of time is the alarm start hold-off time. An alarm is not regarded as being cleared until the NE has been detecting the ending of it for a period of time, and this period of time is the alarm end hold-off time. Setting the hold-off time can avoid the generation of unnecessary alarms due to misreport or jitter. According to ITU-T recommendations, the alarm is classified into four severities: Critical, Major, Minor, Warning. A visible or an audible indication to notify the person concerned that a failure or an emergency has occurred. See also Event. Property of an object.

Attribute B Binding
In virtual concatenated payload configuration, designating one binding number to identify the VC4s of the same virtual concatenated payload is called "bind". If a fault occurs to one of the bound services, all bound services will switch as a whole. The Board View displays the ports and the paths in different colors depending on their current status, with legend and description illustrated aside.

Bound path
The VC Trunk refers to the 2 M paths which are bound together to transmit Ethernet data. The VC Trunk is an entity between the Ethernet port and the 2 M path.
C Configuration data The data that configures the NE hardware for coordination between this NE and other NEs in the entire network and operation of specified services. Configuration data is the instruction file of NEs, and it is the key for efficient network running. The typical configuration data includes board configuration, clock configuration and protection relationship. To set the basic parameters of an operation object. A reference point where the output of a trail termination source or a connection is bound to the input of another connection, or where the output of a connection is bound to the input of a trail termination sink or another connection. The connection point is characterized by the information which passes across it. A bidirectional connection point is formed by the association of a contradirectional pair. A "transport entity" which consists of an associated pair of "unidirectional connections" capable of simultaneously transferring information in opposite directions between their respective inputs and outputs. To perform GE ADM, an OTU board with that function has to be in a cross-connect slot. Several successive cross-connect slots form a cross-connect unit group. You can only configure cross-connections within a crossconnect unit group. Alarms that do not clear, or has cleared but is not acknowledged. The performance data stored in the current register is called current performance data. The current 15-minute or 24-hour register (only one for each) is applied to collect the performance data in the current monitoring period. It changed within the monitor period.

D DCC Within an STM-N signal there are two DCC channels, one is the 192 kbit/s DCC-R channel composed of bytes D1D3, and the other is the 576 kbit/s DCC-M channel composed of bytes D4D12. All NEs can communicate with one another through the DCC-R. The DCC-M is not the regenerator section overhead and does not support communications among regenerators, and it is used to support communication channels of more universal purpose. For example, it supports TMN as a physical channel of ECC.
E ECC Embedded Control Channel. An ECC provides a logical operations channel between SDH NEs, utilizing a data communications channel (DCC) as its physical layer.
F Failure The fault cause persisted long enough to consider the ability of an item to perform a required function to be terminated. The item may be considered as failed; a fault has now been detected. A fault is the inability of a function to perform a required action. This does not include an inability due to preventive maintenance, lack of external resources, or planned actions.
Fault
H History alarms History performance data Alarms that have cleared and been acknowledged. The performance data stored in the history register and the auto-report performance data stored on the Web LCT are called history performance data in a unified way.
I IP address In the TCP/IP protocol, it is used to uniquely identify the address of the communication port, which consists of four bytes in decimal digits, for example, 129.9.161.55.

Label Layer
A mark on a cable, a subrack, or a cabinet for identification. A concept used to allow the transport network functionality to be described hierarchically as successive levels; each layer being solely concerned with the generation and transfer of its characteristic information. Local Craft Terminal. The LCT provides the user with single-layer management network solutions to the transmission network of up to five NEs to realize integrated management of multi-service transmission network. Usually it uses the cross-over cable or serial port cable to connect one NE, so as to configure and maintain a single NE. See also Web LCT.
LCT
N NE Explorer NE Explorer is the main operation interface of the Web LCT. For easy navigation, the NE Explorer window presents an expandable directory tree (Function Tree) in the lower left pane. The configuration, management and maintenance of the equipment are accessed here. NE Panel displays subracks, boards, and ports in different colours depending on their status. In the Web LCT, most equipment configuration, monitoring, and maintenance are performed in the NE Panel window. Network Element. NE includes the hardware unit and the software running on it. Usually, one NE has at least an SCC (system control and communication) board which responsible for the management and monitoring of the NE. The NE software runs on the SCC board. Network Management. In the telecommunication network management architecture, the Web LCT is an element management system that supports all functions at the element management layer. See also Web LCT. In non-revertive switching, there is a working and protection line, board and so on. Services remain on the protection line or board if the switch requests are terminated; that is, when the fault that caused them to switch to the protection line or board is cleared.

Performance register is the memory space for performance event counts, including 15-min current performance register, 24-hour current performance register, 15-min history performance register, 24-hour history performance register, UAT register and CSES register. Performance events usually have upper and lower thresholds. When the performance event count value exceeds the upper threshold, a performance threshold-crossing event is generated; when the performance event count value is below the upper threshold for a period of time, the performance threshold-crossing event is ended. In this way, performance jitter caused by some sudden events can be shielded. Both communication parties are connected permanently. A generic term for an action. A generic term for a collection of actions. A specific service that is part of a protection group and is labelled protection.

Route
The IP route selection is in table driving mode. In each host and each router of the Internet, there is a routing table that contains information about how the service is transmitted from the source to the sink, providing a basis for route selection. Ethernet static routing in ET1 refers to the mapping relationship between the Ethernet port and the bound path. Its routing type includes port routing and VLAN routing. Port routing: It means configuring a route between the Ethernet port and the bound path port, which is usually used for point-to-point networking communication; VLAN routing: It means configuring a route between the Ethernet port and the bound path port based on the VLAN service. It can be used flexibly in point-topoint, point-to-multipoint or multipoint-tomultipoint communication. The implementation is to divide and converge the data stream according to the VLAN flag of the packet. As a VLAN flag can be added to the Ethernet port, the equipment can be applied more flexibly.
S Settings Severity SF Parameters of an operation that can be selected by the user. See Alarm Severity. Signal Fail. A signal indicating the associated data has failed in the sense that a near-end defect condition (not being the degraded defect) is active. A menu that is displayed when right-clicking an object' s name or icon. Also called a context menu. Also referred to as the network mask off code, it is used to define network segments, so that only the computers in the same network segment can communicate with one another, thus suppressing broadcast storm between different network segments.

Telecommunications Management Network. The entity which provides the means used to transport and process information related to management functions for the telecommunications network. A fault can be located for each service path by performing loopback to each path of the tributary board. There are three kinds of loopback modes: No loopback, Outloop and Inloop.
Tributary loopback
U UAT Unavailable Time. A UAT event is reported when the monitored object generates 10 consecutive severely errored seconds (SES) and the SESs begin to be included in the unavailable time. The event will end when the bit error ratio per second is better than 10-3 within 10 consecutive seconds.
V VC4 loopback The fault of each VC4 path on the optical fiber can be located by setting loopback for each VC4 path of the line. There are three kinds of loopback modes: No loopback, Outloop, Inloop. Namely, it is the virtual LAN identifier. One Ethernet port can support 4K VLAN routes, and one NE can support up to 8K VLAN routes.
