CMM labeling and disclosure table

CMM labeling and disclosure table

The Peoples Republic of China requires that our products comply with China Management
Methods (CMM) environmental regulations. (China Management Methods refers to the
regulation Management Methods for Controlling Pollution by Electronic Information Products.)
Two items are used to demonstrate compliance; the label and the disclosure table.
The label is placed in a customer visible position on the product.

Logo 1 means the product contains no substances in excess of the maximum concentration
value for materials identified in the China Management Methods regulation.

Logo 2 means that the product may contain substances in excess of the maximum
concentration value for materials identified in the China Management Methods regulation,
and has an Environmental Friendly Use Period (EFUP) in years. The example shown
uses 50 years.

Logo 1

Logo 2

The Environmental Friendly Use Period (EFUP) is the period (in years) during which the Toxic
and Hazardous Substances (T&HS) contained in the Electronic Information Product (EIP)
will not leak or mutate causing environmental pollution or bodily injury from the use of the
EIP. The EFUP indicated by the Logo 2 label applies to a product and all its parts. Certain
field-replaceable parts, such as battery modules, can have a different EFUP and are marked
separately.
The Disclosure table is intended only to communicate compliance with China requirements.
It is not intended to communicate compliance with EU RoHS or any other environmental
requirements.

Introduction

Chapter 2: Operating System and OMC-R Software Installation on the Single Platform Processor

Introduction

This chapter deals with the hardware configuration and software installation of OMC-R
Single Platform Processors. Therefore, it contains only hardware configuration and software
installation information for the Sunfire 4800/4900, Netra 440, Netra 20 equipment. The
suggested order of hardware and software installation follows the sections in this chapter.
A typical hardware configuration for a complete 1.9.x.x OMC-R network is shown in Figure 2-1.

CAUTION

2-2

Ensure that the equipment mains voltage settings are adjusted to suit the local
mains supply.

Always wear an earth strap connected to the Electro-Static Point (ESP) on the
equipment.

Take care when removing components connected to static-sensitive devices.


These components may be providing protection to the device.

When mounted onto Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), MOS devices are normally
less susceptible to electrostatic damage. However, handle the PCBs with care,
preferably by their edges and not by their tracks and pins. Transfer them
directly from their packing to the equipment and never expose the PCBs on
the workbench.

Chapter 2:

Installing Solaris 10 and OMC Software on SunFire


4800/4900, Netra 440, and Netra 20

Introduction
Solaris is installed using a customized jumpstart. The jumpstart performs the following tasks:

Installs the operating system from the DVD.

Selects the relevant build profile.

Provides the system with host, IP Address, Netmask, and Default Router.

Installs the OMC Software and Third Party Products.

NOTE
Logging into the SunFire 4800/4900:

Use the main IP address when logging into the SunFire 4800/4900 for normal
use.

The logical IP address can be used for console connections. Logging into the
machine through the SC0 IP address and SC1 IP address is not recommended.

Installing the Solaris and OMC software does not complete the configuration
of the Single Platform Processor. Complete the rest of the chapter before the
OMC is started.

Warning: Permanently added omc_splat' (RSA) to the list of known hosts

Detecting the performance problem


If the LAN connecting the server is a 100 Mbps full-duplex network (check with the Network
System Administrator), then the server may experience performance issues. Ignore this section
if the LAN is not 100 Mbps full-duplex.
Run the commands in this section on the console of a system, as changing the network link
settings can cause existing network connections to close.
To check for performance issues on a system, as user root, enter the following command:
/var/install/bin/check_link

Moving a machine with a forced link speed


Operating System and OMC-R Software Installation on the Single Platform Processor

Chapter 2:

If the output of this command shows nothing, then there is no performance


problem and the rest of this section may be ignored.
If the command detects a 100 Mbps half-duplex link, then you have the option of forcing the
link to 100 Mbps full duplex.
The network interface eri0 has negotiated a 100Mbps half-duplex link.
If connected to a switch, this is often incorrect and may result in very
slow network speeds.
Do you wish to force a 100Mbps full-duplex link? (y/n)
Enter y to force the link speed to 100 Mbps full duplex. Configure to set this speed automatically
on every boot.

Moving a machine with a forced link speed


The fix for the performance problem described above means that the server no longer
auto-negotiates the network speed. If the server is moved in the future to a network port,
which is not 100 Mbps full duplex, the server may not be able to connect to the network. In
order to re-instate auto negotiation, remove the file /etc/rc2.d/S31linkspeed as user root:rm
/etc/rc2.d/S31linkspeed.

Running the Configure_X25 script


Operating System and OMC-R Software Installation on the Single Platform Processor

Chapter 2:

NOTE

Event and download connections may go to any port that is connected to the
OMC. Therefore, on a given router, route these connections first to any directly
connected ports, that is to the OMC.

For load balancing purposes, if these ports are busy, the event and download
connections should go to the first interlink between routers. If this interlink is
also busy, then the event and download connections should go to the second
interlink between routers if it exists. The OMC is able to route the event or
bootload the call to the correct OMC process irrespective of which port the call
arrives into the OMC.

NOTE
Add the entries in the Route Selection Table for each of the bootload and event
interface X-121 addresses as listed in the x25_config file.

Running the Configure_X25 script


To start Configure_X25, follow this procedure:
As root on the single platform processor, enter the following command:
/usr/omc/sbin/Configure_X25

Modifying the /etc/hosts file

NOTE
If you are using an ASCII terminal, before using an editor, set the display on the Wyse
120 terminal using the following commands:
TERM=vt100
export TERM
The /etc/hosts file is used to store the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and
the system names of all the systems, accessible on the network. The systems on the network may also be identified by an alias name or names. The
OMC-R uses the following alias for identifying the Single Platform Processor:
omc_splat omc_pm omc_4gl
Follow the steps in Procedure 2-17 to modify the /etc/hosts file.

2-52

68P02901W47-S
Jul 2008

Installation and Configuration: OMC-R Clean Install

Procedure 2-17
1

Modifying the /etc/hosts.equiv file

Modifying the /etc/hosts file

Use a text editor to edit the /etc/hosts file.

NOTE

hosts is a symbolic link to /etc/inet/hosts

It may be necessary to do a forced write to save /etc/hosts


after editing due to its write permissions. In the vi editor,
this is done using the wq!command

The following example shows sample entries for the /etc/hosts file:
127.0.0.1

localhost

111.111.11.11 central central.domainname omc_splat omc_pm omc_4gl


loghost

NOTE
The lines above should be treated as one continuous line.
111.111.11.12 guiserver1
111.111.11.14 netprinter
111.111.11.13 guiclient1

Where
<central> is Single Platform Processor hostname.
<guiserver1> is the GUI Server Processor hostname.
<guiclient1> is the GUI Client Processor hostname.
<netprinter> is the network printer.
2

Refer to Pre-installation requirements for the OMC-R


on page 1-2 of this manual for the host names.

If you are using NIS, then execute the following commands as user root:
cd /var/yp
/usr/ccs/bin/make

Modifying the /etc/hosts.equiv file


The /etc/hosts.equiv file is used to identify trusted systems on the network. Create the
/etc/hosts.equiv file and add the entries shown in bold (in the example) to the file using a text
editor as user root.
Example line entries for the /etc/hosts.equiv file are as follows:
central
guiserver1
guiclient1

68P02901W47-S

Jul 2008

Creating the /.rhosts file

Chapter 2: Operating System and OMC-R Software Installation on the Single Platform Processor

Creating the /.rhosts file


The /.rhosts file is similar to the /etc/hosts.equiv file and is used to identify trusted systems on
the network. However, this file is used only for providing root access to the listed systems.
Use a text editor to create the file and add the appropriate entries in the /.rhosts file.
The following are example entries for the /.rhosts file:
central
guiserver1
guiclient1
Where:
<central>

Is:
the Single Platform Processor hostname.

<guiserver1>

the GUI Server Processor hostname.

<guiclient1>

the GUI Client Processor hostname.

Modify /etc/dfs/dfstab

NOTE
If you are using an ASCII terminal, before using an editor, set the display
on the terminal using the commands:
TERM=vt100
export TERM
To ensure a successful clean install of the GUI server, complete the following steps before
the clean install.
The Jumpstart software installs a default configuration file for the shared partitions.
GUI servers require the following resources:
/usr/omc/config/global
/usr/omc/ne_data
/usr/omc/ne_data/raw_stats
/home
To make resources on the Single Platform Processor available to other processors, the
information is placed in the /etc/dfs/dfstab file. The file contains:
share -F nfs -o rw=<gui_server>, root=<gui_server> /usr/omc/config/global
share -F nfs -o rw=<gui_server>, root=<gui_server> /usr/omc/ne_data
share -F nfs -o rw=<gui_server>, root=<gui_server> /usr/omc/ne_data/raw_stats
share -F nfs -o rw=<gui_server>, root=<gui_server> /home

68P02901W47-S
Jul 2008

Installation and Configuration: OMC-R Clean Install

Additional configuration if a Web Access Server is used

As root, modify the contents of this file as required. For example, if the GUI server identity is
guiserver1 the file looks like the following:
share -F nfs -o rw=guiserver1,root=guiserver1 /usr/omc/config/global
share -F nfs -o rw=guiserver1,root=guiserver1 /usr/omc/ne_data
share -F nfs -o rw=guiserver1,root=guiserver1 /usr/omc/ne_data/raw_stats
share -F nfs -o rw=guiserver1,root=guiserver1 /home
As root on the single platform processor, execute the following command:
shareall
The sharing of the drivers should be checked with the command:
share

which should give output similar to:


/usr/omc/config/global rw=guiserver1, root:guiserver1
/usr/omc/ne_data rw=guiserver1, root:guiserver1
/usr/omc/ne_data/raw_stats rw=guiserver1, root:guiserver1
/home rw=guiserver1, root:guiserver1

Additional configuration if a Web Access Server is used


If a web access server (Sun Secure Global Desktop or Tarantella) is used for GUI access,
perform the following step.
As user omcadmin, ensure that the following line is present in the
/usr/omc/config/global/env/Common.csh file:
setenv APPLIX_FONTPATH /usr/applix/axfonts/all_pcf

Performance problem with GUI servers

Performance problem with GUI servers

Detecting the performance problem


If the LAN connecting the GUI server is a 100 Mbps full-duplex network (check with the
Network System Administrator), then the GUI server may experience performance issues.
Ignore this section if the LAN is not 100 Mbps full-duplex.
Run the commands in this section on the console of a system, as changing the network link
settings can cause existing network connections to close.
To check for performance issues on a system, as user root, enter the following command:
/var/install/bin/check_link
If the output of this command shows nothing, then there is no performance
problem and the rest of this section may be ignored.
If the command detects a 100 Mbps half-duplex link, then you
have the option of forcing the link to 100 Mbps full duplex.

The network interface eri0 has negotiated a 100 Mbps half-duplex link.
If connected to a switch, this is often incorrect and may result in very
slow network speeds.
Do you wish to force a 100 Mbps full-duplex link? (y/n)
If you answer y to this question, the link speed is forced to 100 Mbps full duplex and it is
configured to set this speed automatically on every boot.

Moving a machine with a forced link speed


The fix for the performance problem described above means that the GUI
server platform no longer auto-negotiates the network speed. In future, if the
GUI server platform is moved to a network port, which is not 100 Mbps full
duplex, the GUI server may not be able to connect to the network. In order to
re-instate auto negotiation, remove the file /etc/rc2.d/S31linkspeed as user root:
rm/etc/rc2.d/S31linkspeed.

Installation and Configuration: OMC-R Clean Install

Flexible GUI server configuration

Flexible GUI server configuration

Introduction
The option of a Minimum Flexible Platform allows the OMC-R to be installed on a GUI server if
the GUI server meets the hardware and software criteria. It is the responsibility of the customer
to provide the necessary hardware and to configure it correctly.

NOTE
The configuration of the platform requires advanced knowledge of system
administration.

Prerequisites for installation


The following are the prerequisites for installation:

SUN hardware platform meeting the minimum specification.

Additional software drivers (if required for the hardware platform).

Sun Solaris 10 installation media for the platform.

GSR 9 OMC-R DVD.

File systems to be configured to the minimum specification (refer to Table 3-1).

Jul 2008

Configuring the flexible platform

Chapter 3: GUI Server Configuration

Install the operating system


An automated Jumpstart procedure is NOT provided. It is necessary to install the Solaris 10
operating system using the Sun Solaris 10 Installation media. Create the file systems /, swap,
and /usr/omc and configure them with a minimum size as outlined in the Table 3-1 during
installation. This procedure assumes NIS is being used as the naming service on the OMC-R.
If any other naming service is used then the appropriate configuration settings for that naming
service needs to be configured during the NIS configuration section in this guide.
If NIS is not used the following users and groups need to be created on the flexible GUI server:

Groups: omc (with the same group id as on the SPLAT), informix (with the same group id
as on the SPLAT) and omcread (with the same group id as on the SPLAT).

Users: informix (with the same user id as on the SPLAT), omcadmin (with the same user
id as on the SPLAT), omcread (with the same user id as on the SPLAT) and all other
OMC-R users.

NOTE
These users need to be configured exactly as on the SPLAT.

Modify files
Follow the steps in Procedure 3-4 to modify files.

Procedure 3-4

Modify files

Modify the /etc/hosts file. Add entries as shown in the example below to the
/etc/hosts file using a text editor.
111.111.111.12 guiserver1 guiserver1.domainname loghost
111.111.111.11 central omc_splat omc_pm omc_4gl
111.111.111.13 guiclient1
111.111.111.14 printer
Edit the /etc/hosts file on the SPLAT to add the entry for the flexible GUI
server. Follow the steps outlined in the Procedure 2-17 Modifying the
/etc/hosts file on page 2-53.

NOTE
The entries guiserver1, central and guiclient1 represent the
names of the GUI server, the Single Platform Processor and the
GUI client respectively. The printer is optional.

Configuring the flexible platform

Modify files (Continued)

Modify the /etc/defaultdomain file. The default domain should be set in


order for the GUI server to use the Single Platform Processor as its yp
master. Enter the following commands as user root on the GUI server:
domainname <domain>
echo domainname > /etc/defaultdomain
ypinit c

Where <domain>is the name of the domain


used by the network. For example, omcadmin.
Enter omc_splat to represent the Single Platform
Processor and press Return. To verify it type y.
Execute the following command:
cp /etc/nsswitch.nis /etc/nsswitch.conf

Create a file called /etc/defaultrouter that contains the IP


address of the default router in the form: nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn.
Edit /etc/auto_master and find the following line:
/home

auto_home

-nobrowse

Replace this line with:


#/home

auto_home

-nobrowse

Save and exit the file. Reboot the GUI server to enable the new host settings
by entering:
touch /reconfigure
/usr/sbin/shutdown -g0 -i6 y

To verify that the name of the Single Platform Processor is correct, enter
the command:
ypwhich

Check whether the /etc/defaultdomain file has been set up correctly by


typing the command:
domainname

The output should be the name of the domain used by the network, for
example, omcadmin.

Modify files (Continued)

Modify the /etc/vfstab file. Update the /etc/vfstab file


with the directories that are shared out by the SPLAT.
Use the vi editor to add the following entries to the file:
omc_splat:/home - /home nfs - yes rw,hard,intr
omc_splat:/usr/omc/config/global - /usr/omc/config/global nfs
- yes rw,hard,intr
omc_splat:/usr/omc/ne_data - /usr/omc/ne_data nfs - yes
rw,hard,intr
omc_splat:/usr/omc/ne_data/raw_stats /usr/omc/ne_data/raw_stats nfs - yes rw,hard,intr

Create the following directories by running the commands:


mkdir p /usr/omc/config/global
mkdir p /usr/omc/ne_data
mkdir p /usr/omc/ne_data/raw_stats
Run the command:
mountall

Check whether the NFS is running correctly by executing:


df k | grep omc_splat
The four directories shared by the SPLAT should be listed.
omc_splat:/home 1016122 3155 952000 1% /home
omc_splat:/usr/omc/config/global 2501991
467635 1984317 20% /usr/omc/config/global

omc_splat:/usr/omc/ne_data/raw_stats 1490275 1522 1429142 1%
/usr/omc/ne_data/raw_stats

If the output does not contain entries for /home,


/usr/omc/config/global, /usr/omc/ne_data,
/usr/omc/ne_data/raw_stats, then perform the following steps:
Follow the steps outlined in the section Modify /etc/dfs/dfstab on page
2-54 in Chapter 2.

To ensure that the NFS software is running,


execute the following commands on the splat:
/etc/init.d/nfs.server stop
/etc/init.d/nfs.server start
share
Example output is as follows:
- /usr/omc/config/global rw=guiserver1,root=guiserver1 "",
- /usr/omc/ne_data rw=guiserver1,root=guiserver1 "",
- /usr/omc/ne_data/raw_stats rw=guiserver1,root=guiserver1 "",
- /home rw=guiserver1:guiclient1,root=guiserver1:guiclient1 "",

Run the following command if NIS has been configured:


scp omc_splat:/etc/TIMEZONE /etc

Introduction
Refer to the relevant GSM OMC-R Release Notes for installation instructions specific to this
release.

NOTE
The GUI client architecture has changed in GSR 9. GUI clients now act as display
terminals using the Solaris 10 Remote Login feature to access the GUI server. This
speeds up GUI client clean installs for supported platforms. Alternatively, it allows
customers to use any SUN platform as a GUI client, as long as it meets the minimum
hardware specification.
The following supported platforms have Motorola customized Jumpstart CDs provided to speed
up the operating system installation:

Sunblade 150.

Refer to Customized Jumpstart procedures on page 4-3 to Jumpstart these platforms.

Performance problem with GUI clients

Chapter 4: GUI Client Configuration

Performance problem with GUI clients

Detecting the performance problem


If the LAN connecting the GUI client is a 100 Mbps full-duplex network (check with the Network
System Administrator), then the GUI client may experience performance issues. Ignore this
section if the LAN is not 100 Mbps full-duplex.
To check for performance issues on a Sunblade, as user root, enter the following command:
dmesg | grep eri | grep duplex
To check for performance issues on an Ultra, as user root, enter the following command:
dmesg | grep hme | grep Duplex
If the output of this command shows a 100 Mbps full duplex link up,
then there is no performance problem and the rest of this section may
be ignored. In this case, the output looks similar to the following:
Sunblade:
Mar

3 19:53:33 sunblade3 eri: [ID 517527 kern.info] SUNW,eri0: 100 Mbps

full duplex link up


Ultra:
Jul 15 10:00:54 somc49 hme: [ID 517527 kern.info] SUNW,hme0: AutoNegotiated 100 Mbps Full-Duplex Link Up
If the output of this command shows a 100 Mbps half-duplex link up, then there is a
problem with the performance that has to be resolved as per the section Fixing the
performance problem on page 4-7. In this case, the output looks similar to the following:
Sunblade:
Mar

3 19:50:04 sunblade3 eri: [ID 517527 kern.info] SUNW,eri0: 100 Mbps

half duplex link up

Fixing the performance problem


Follow Procedure 4-3 to resolve performance issues:

Procedure 4-3

Fixing the performance problem

Log in as user root.

Using a text editor on a Sunblade, append the following lines to the file
/etc/system:
set eri:adv_autoneg_cap=0
set eri:adv_100T4_cap=0
set eri:adv_100fdx_cap=1
set eri:adv_100hdx_cap=0
set eri:adv_10fdx_cap=0
set eri:adv_10hdx_cap=0

Using a text editor on an Ultra, append


the following lines to the file /etc/system:
set hme:hme_adv_autoneg_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_100T4_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_100fdx_cap=1
set hme:hme_adv_100hdx_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_10fdx_cap=0
set hme:hme_adv_10hdx_cap=0

Reboot the system by running the following command:


/usr/sbin/shutdown i6 g0 y

As user root, on a Sunblade run the command:


dmesg | grep eri | grep duplex

Chapter 4: GUI Client Configuration

Fixing the performance problem (Continued)

As user root, on an Ultra run the command:


dmesg | grep hme | grep Duplex
Output similar to the following should be displayed illustrating that a
100 Mbps full-duplex link is the most recently activated link:
Sunblade:
Mar

3 19:50:04 sunblade3 eri: [ID 517527 kern.info] SUNW,eri0:

100 Mbps half duplex link up


Mar

3 19:53:33 sunblade3 eri: [ID 517527 kern.info] SUNW,eri0:

100 Mbps full duplex link up


Ultra:
Jul 15 10:00:54 somc49 hme: [ID 517527 kern.info] SUNW,hme0:
Auto-Negotiated 100 Mbps Half-Duplex Link Up
Jul 15 10:00:54 somc49 hme: [ID 517527 kern.info] SUNW,hme0:
Auto-Negotiated 100 Mbps Full-Duplex Link Up

Moving a machine with a modified /etc/system file


The fix for the performance problem described above means that the GUI client platform no
longer auto-negotiates the network speed. If the GUI client platform is moved in the future to a
network port, which is not 100 Mbps full duplex, the GUI client may not be able to connect to
the network without removing the appended lines from /etc/system.

Modifying the /etc/hosts file

Chapter 4: GUI Client Configuration

Modifying the /etc/hosts file


The /etc/hosts file is used to store the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and the system names of
the systems accessible on the network.
Add entries shown in the example to the /etc/hosts file using a text editor so that the systems
are recognized by the software as user root.
Entries shown for the /etc/hosts file are:
guiclient1 guiclient1.domainname loghost
111.111.111.12

guisever1

NOTE

If there is more than one GUI server entry in the /etc/hosts file of the GUI
client, then switching the GUI client from one GUI server to another is achieved
by remote logging out of one GUI server and logging into another remotely.

It may be necessary to do a forced write to save /etc/hosts after editing due to


its write permissions. In the vi editor, this is achieved with the wq!command.

Modifying the /etc/defaultrouter


The following procedure describes the steps for modifying the /etc/defaultrouter:

Procedure 4-5

Modifying the /etc/defaultrouter

Create a file called /etc/defaultrouter that contains the IP address of the


default router in the form: nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn

Reboot the GUI client as follows:


/usr/sbin/shutdown i6 g0 y
The following reboot messages can be ignored:
nfs mount: omc_splat:: RPC: Unknown host
nfs mount: gui_server:: RPC: Unknown host
nfs mount: gui_server:: RPC: Unknown host

Network verification

Network verification

Introduction to network verification


To verify that the network connections are functioning, perform the following procedures:

Verify communication with devices on LAN. Ping all network devices.

Verify secure login. Attempt to log into all network processors and, if any login fails,
identify the cause of failure.

Check users. Ensure that all users are added to the Single Platform Processor and to
all the GUI servers.

Verify communication with devices on LAN


From the Single Platform Processor, Sunblade or Netra 210, confirm that it is possible to
communicate with all devices on the LAN by using the ping command as follows:
ping <hostname>
Where:
<Hostname>

Is:
The hostname of another processor
on the LAN.

or
ping <IP address>
Where:
<IP Address>

Is:
The internet address of another LAN
processor.

Example response:
mib1 is alive

Verify remote login


Follow the steps in Procedure 5-8 to verify that the Sunblade or Netra 210 can communicate
with all of the other processors on the LAN.

68P02901W47-S

Check users

Chapter 5: On-site Requirements and Verification

Procedure 5-8

Remote login verification

Login to one of the Sunblade/Netra210 as omcadmin.

Select New Window from the CDE background menu and attempt
to login to each of the processors on the LAN using the command:
ssh l <username> <hostname>
If the remote login is unsuccessful, check the Ethernet cable connections,
check that the host chosen is powered-up, and finally check the system files
containing the host names and Internet addresses.

Work through all of the OMC-R applications on the OMC-R 1.9.*.* GUI
ensuring that all are operating correctly.

NOTE
If a connection has not yet been made to any of the network elements through the
X.25 network, then applications that require communication with an NE do not work.
The PM statistics report application does not work until the first set of BSS statistics
have been uploaded into the database.

Check users
Add all users to the Single Platform Processor and to all the GUI servers. Check the /etc/group
and /etc/passwd files on each of the processors as follows:

Procedure 5-9

Check users

Login to one of the GUI servers as root.


Open a command window for each of the GUI servers and the Single Platform
Processor and login to each processor by entering the following command:
ssh l <username> <hostname>

Use the cat command to compare the /etc/group files on each processor as
follows:
cat /etc/group
The last three group entries displayed following the cat /etc/group command
should be as follows:
informix::109:
omc::110:
omcread::111:
Ensure that the group IDs are the same on all processors. If necessary, use
a text editor to modify the entries.

Check users (Continued)

Use the cat command to compare the /etc/passwd files on each processor
as follows:
cat /etc/passwd
The informix, omcadmin, and any other user entries that have been added
should be similar to the following:
root:x:0:1:Super-User:/:/sbin/sh
daemon:x:1:1::/:/dev/null
bin:x:2:2::/usr/bin:/dev/null
sys:x:3:3::/:

omcread:x:111:111:OMC read account:/home/omcread:/bin/csh
jimmy:x:500:110::/home/jimmy:/bin/csh
Ensure that for each user there is a password entry and that the user
ID numbers and group ID numbers are the same on all processors. The
password, userid and groupid entries are the first, second and third entries
on each line following the userid. If necessary, use a text editor to modify
the entries on the SPARCstations and on the Single Platform Processor.

Chapter 6: System Startup and Shutdown

System Startup and Shutdown

Introduction
This chapter describes how to start up and shut down the OMC-R using the OMC-R start and
stop commands and how to carry out certain configuration tasks once the OMC-R is started.
The procedures detailed in this chapter are as follows:

DTE addressing at node elements: Ensure that the OMC-R and NE DTE addresses are
added to the NEs connected to the OMC-R (BSCs and RXCDRs).

Startup and Shutdown: Describes how to manually start and stop the OMC-R, Single
Platform Processor, and GUI server.

Configuration tasks after startup. Perform the following tasks:


NE nodes: Add the NEs to the OMC-R configuration files and hence to the PM
database.
Create subscription lists: Introduces the creation of subscription lists.
MIB configuration: Introduces MIB configuration.

6-2

OMC-R verification: Verify that communication with each NE is possible and that the
OMC-R applications are operating correctly.

Assign the NE X.121 address and the OMC-R X.121 addresses at the NE.
Ensure that these addresses are already entered into the NEs. If they are not entered, add the
addresses at the NE site through a TTY connection on the GPROC.
The following items outline the procedures required to assign NW X.121 and OMC-R X.121:

Setting addresses
To set X.121 addresses at the NE, enter the changes at the NE using a PC.

Slot: Port settings for OMLs


In RAM, only address 0 is used. However, in ROM the addresses are link dependent. Table 6-1
shows the slot: port settings for the 2 Mbps link carrying the OMLs. In ROM mode, the site uses
link number 0 by default; if this is not available, it uses link number 1. If this link does not work,
it uses link number 2 and, finally, link number 3.
Use this table in conjunction with the subsequent procedures.

Chapter 6: System Startup and Shutdown

Setting OML addresses


Carry out the following procedure to set OML DTE addresses (0 to 3), with reference to Table 6-1.

Procedure 6-1

Setting the OML addresses

Set the DTE addresses using the command:


chg_dte bsc <link_num> <address_length> <address_byte> ,...
<>
Example:
chg_dte bsc 0 14 2 6 2 4 5 9 1 1 0 2 3 4 3 1

Verify the value set using the disp_dte command.

NOTE
The address in bsc 0 must always be set, even if the primary
OMC-R connection is not used. The bsc 0 address is used by
the BSC or RXCDR in RAM. The slot number refers to the MSI
board that carries the OML in the BSC cabinet and the port
number refers to the MMS. For the full details of the syntax of the
commands, refer to the Motorola manual Technical Description:
BSS Command Reference (68P02901W23).

OMC-R addresses - general rules

Setting OMC-R addresses (Single Platform Processor)


Set the seven OMC-R addresses (0-6) at the NE for the Single Platform Processor, as follows:

Addresses 0 and 1 are used for event and alarm reporting. The BSC continuously alternates
between these two addresses in its attempt to set up an alarm Virtual Circuit (VC).

Addresses 2 and 3 are used for download and bootload.

Address 4 is used for remote login. The BSC uses this address only for verification
purposes. The setting this address verifies the calling address on the inbound X.25 packet.

Addresses 5 and 6 are used for upload.

Procedure for setting the addresses


To set and verify the addresses, follow this procedure:

Procedure 6-2

Setting the addresses

Set the DTE addresses 0 to 6 using the chg_dtecommand.


The general format of the command is:
chg_dte omcr <address_num> <address_length>

NE node configuration
Add each NE that is connected to the OMC-R to:

The OMC-R configuration files NE.MAP and SITE.MAP

The PM database

In order to produce a logical naming convention for all the devices available in a network, the
SITE.MAP file is present on the GUI servers. It works in conjunction with the NE.MAP file, the
GUI application software, and certain index tables within the OMC-R database. Logical naming
makes it possible to associate logical names with NE devices, for display in alarm or event
windows and in Performance Management (PM) reports.

Create subscription lists


Create a subscription list for all the NEs on the network. These lists are stored in the OMC-R
database and enable operators to subscribe to events and alarms when the network becomes
live. The subscription lists and operator subscriptions can be modified later to customize
the subscription process.
The procedures for creating, modifying, deleting, and renaming of subscription lists and
displaying subscriptions is described in Online Help, Network Operations.

MIB configuration
Configure the CM-MIB fully to ensure that the network status feature operates correctly. The
CM-MIB is configured using the cmutil utility or using the navigation tree at the OMC-R GUI to
populate the MIB. The following configuration files are used by cmutil:

Map configuration file

File describing the network, OMC, and MSC

One file for each BSS or RXCDR describing the site configuration

The procedures for populating the MIB using these configuration files are described in the
Motorola manual Installation and Configuration: GSM System Configuration (68P02901W17).

NOTE
The MIB is already configured during the staging process. If so, check the maps to
see that the NEs, sites, and links are correct.

X.25 verification

Verification of OMC-R startup and shutdown (Continued)

Use the following command to confirm


that the omcinit process has shut down:
ps -ef | grep omcinit

If the omcinit process is still running, it should be killed by entering the


following command:
kill -9 <process id>
where <process id> is the ID number of the omcinit process.

Restart the OMC-R by entering the following command:


svcadm enable s omc

Login to one of the GUI processor terminals and confirm that the OMC-R
console front panel is displayed on the screen.

X.25 verification
X.25 system verification requires that the OMC-R is connected to the X.25 network through
an X.25 packet switch and MUX. This is achieved by checking the X.25 configuration and by
performing loopback tests.
Chapter 10 SunFire 4800/4900 Troubleshooting of this manual describes the installation of an
ISG X.25 packet switch and MUX, and describes the basic requirements if non-ISG equipment is
used.

X.25 configuration
Check that the DTE addresses entered in the Single Platform Processor file,
/usr/omc/config/global/x25_config are the same as those entered as the OMC-R port
addresses in the X.25 packet switch.
If the system is configured as a high-end system, but without the extra physical links configured,
comment out the corresponding entries in the STARTUP.LIST file for these links.
Using an editor of your choice, comment out the link entries
in the /usr/omc/current/config/STARTUP.LIST file as follows:
# 2 X25_UPL3 /usr/omc/current/bin/x25appl 11 0 60 1 8
# 2 X25_UPL4 /usr/omc/current/bin/x25appl 12 0 60 1 9

<ip_address> <mail_server> mailhost
Where <ip_address> is the IP Address of the mail server and
<mail_server>is the Exchange Mail Server hostname.

If you want all mail forwarded to an exchange user for mails destined say
for user omcadmin, create the file /home/omcadmin/.forward as user
omcadmin.

Edit this file to include the line:


<user_name@exchange_account>
Where <user_name@exchange_account> is the exchange e-mail
address to forward mail.

If you want to preserve a copy of this mail for the omcadmin mail account
on the originating machine edit the file /home/omcadmin/.forward and
add the following:
\omcadmin

Adding a printer

Adding a printer

Overview
It is possible to add a printer on the Ethernet LAN of the OMC-R. The printer can be connected
anywhere on the LAN and is not restricted to being connected to the Single Platform Processor
or one of the GUI processors.
Any network printer that supports postscript and is lpd compatible is supported. Follow the
printer manual for details on network setup. Refer to Chapter 3 of Operating Information:
OMC-R System Administration (68P02901W19) for further details on how to install and
configure a printer.

Assigning printer name and address on the network


Assign the printer name and address on the network by adding the printer IP address and
hostname to the /etc/hosts file of all processors, which belong to the OMC-R network. Verify
the printer setup as follows:

Procedure 7-2

Verifying the printer setup

Print a page to verify the printer settings.

Issue a ping command from any processor on the OMC-R network as follows:
ping hostname

Replace hostname with the name of the printer set in the /etc/hosts file.

If the printer does not respond to the ping command, check the following:

Ensure that all physical connections, bridges and routers are working
correctly.

From the setup page, check that the IP protocol is enabled.

Check that the IP address is set correctly on the printer operators


panel.

Configuring a printer connected to a GUI processor


This category includes the SPARC printer I and II.
Jobs are spooled for printing to the Single Platform Processor (or the processor to which the
printer is attached).

Installing a modem

Chapter 7: Configuring Auxiliary Devices

Installing a modem

Introduction
This section describes how to install and configure a modem to a Sun Microsystems
SPARCstation running Solaris 10 with CDE. The following modems are installed:

Motorola 3460 FastR

Motorola 326x

MultiModem MT5634ZBA

The modem is configured for both dial-in and dial-out access.

Background information
The modem can be used for remote access to the OMC-R (dial-in to the OMC-R) and for
accessing external computer systems from the OMC-R (dial-out from the OMC-R).
Remote access to the OMC-R through a modem can provide TTY (character based) access to
the OMC-R. It does not provide a method for remotely accessing the graphical functions of the
OMC-R. If a remote OMC-R operator terminal is required, connect it to the OMC-R using LAN
routers over a synchronous link operating at speeds of at least 64 kbps.
Support engineers use remote access to diagnose and rectify problems.

NOTE
The procedures described herein may conflict with other programs or serial port
users. Connect the modem to an unused port or disable the port monitor services.
Use the Motorola 3460 FastR modem, shown in Figure 7-1, to implement the Alarm Auto
notification feature.

Data links

Motorola 3460 FastR modem

ti-gsm_Motorola_3460_FastR_modem-0047-ai-sw

Data links
When connecting two SPARCstations with modems, there are three data links:
LOCAL
Computer
(DTE)-

REMOTE
Modem Modem

Computer

(DCE)-(DCE) (DTE)

Local DTE rate

DCE rate

Remote DTE
rate

Rates
Data is transferred at the same rate as the slowest link. The modems may use data compression
on the DCE link. This can help if the DCE link is the slowest link.
In the following example, data compression on the DCE link, in theory, makes the DCE link
appear to operate at 20+ kbps. The bottleneck would then be the remote DTE rate (19.2 kbps):

Local DTE rate = 38.4 kbps

DCE rate = 9.6 kbps

Remote DTE rate = 19.2 kbps

The Motorola 3460 FastR modem has various security features to restrict or prevent access.
These include only password protection and manual answer. These and other security features
are described in the modem user guide.

68P02901W47-S

Jul 2008

Physical connection

Chapter 7: Configuring Auxiliary Devices

Physical connection
Install the modem on the SPARC station, use either ttya or ttyb (serial port A or B), and make
sure that the RS-232 cable is a straight-through cable. Any 25 to 25-pin cable is acceptable
although only pins 1 to 8 and pin 20 are necessary.

NOTE
Do not use a null modem cross-over cable or a null modem gender adapter cable.
While using a system, which shares ports A and B, such as the SPARCstation 10, and port B is to
be used for the modem port, use the splitter cable (port A can be accessed directly without the
splitter). This splitter cable is available from SunExpress (part number: X985A or 530-1869/C9).

Initial SPARCstation setup


The initial SPARCstation setup involves two activities:

Defining the dial-in serial port characteristics.

Verifying port monitor services.

NOTE
The root password is required to install or modify files for modem installation.

Define dial-in serial port characteristics


Add the following entries to the /etc/ttydefs file. These are the serial port character port
characteristics presented by the answering side:
38400m:38400 clocal hupcl:38400 clocal hupcl
crtscts::38400m
19200m:19200 clocal hupcl:19200 clocal hupcl
crtscts::19200m
9600m:9600 -clocal hupcl:9600 -clocal hupcl
crtscts::9600m

7-10

68P02901W47-S
Jul 2008

Installation and Configuration: OMC-R Clean Install

Initial SPARCstation setup

The above definitions turn on hardware flow control (crtscts) at the serial port, set to match
hardware flow control at the modem. In addition, the above definition uses eight data bits with
no parity transfers.

NOTE
14400 baud and 28800 baud rates are the modem to modem speeds and 19200 and
38400 are the speeds the modem uses to communicate with the serial port. Modem
to serial port speeds should be faster than modem to modem speeds to prevent
bottlenecks.

Verify current port monitor services


Verify that there are no port monitor services on the port to be connected to the modem, by
typing the following command at the # prompt:
pmadm -p zsmon -l
An example output is:

PMTAG

PMTYPE SVCTAG FLGS ID

<PMSPECIFIC>

The following two lines are displayed as one line on the screen:

zsmon

ttymon ttya

u root

/dev/term/a - -

/usr/bin/login

- 9600 ldterm,

ttcompat login:

- vt100 y #Terminal

In addition, the following two lines are displayed as one line on the screen:

zsmon

ttymon ttyb

u root

/dev/term/b - -

/usr/bin/login

- 9600 ldterm,

ttcompat login:

If there are services present, as indicated in the above output, remove them by typing the
following command at the # prompt:
pmadm -p zsmon -r -s <SVCTAG value from the above, that is ttya or
ttyb>

Other methods
This can also be achieved using Admintool, or the serial port manager available under CDE
when logged in as root, and selecting Delete or Disable for the port.
Remove or disable the login services before using a new ttydefs entry.

Communicating with the modem


Once the port monitor services are deleted or disabled, enter the following command at the
# prompt:

NOTE
Ensure that tip is executed in a shell without scrolling enabled; otherwise, a carriage
return is not sent.

tip -38400 /dev/cua/a


(38400 sets the connection speed, /a assumes ttya. For ttyb, use /b).
Verify that the modem is responding to commands. After the connect message, type:
AT
An OK> prompt should be returned. If an OK> prompt is not returned, try a different
port or cable. The modem must respond to AT commands before continuing with
the subsequent sections.

Configuring tip

NOTE
Always use the same speed to the modem as the login process is set to use. The
following procedure assumes that the modem connects using port b. If the modem
connects using port a, alter the procedure accordingly.
It is possible to configure the tip utility by modifying the /etc/remote file. Follow this procedure:

Change the permissions and the owner of the modem port:


For port a:
chmod 666 /dev/cua/a; chown uucp /dev/cua/a
For port b:
chmod 666 /dev/cua/b; chown uucp /dev/cua/b

After modifying the /etc/remote file and changing the permissions of the
port(s), use tip by entering the following command at the # prompt:
tip modem
A connected message should be displayed. If it is not displayed, check the
/etc/remote file for errors to the modem entry.

Controlling modem access


Control the modem communication by setting the permissions of the tip utility.
To allow only root users the ability to logout using the modem, set the tip
permissions to 700 by entering the following command at the # prompt:
chmod 700 /usr/bin/tip

NOTE
Changing the permissions of tip may affect other users or programs that require the
use of tip. For example, the OMC-R test mobile feature.

Modem setup and Initialization


The modem is set up using Hayes AT commands. Once the modem has been set up, the
configuration can be stored in the non-volatile memory in the modem. It should only be
necessary to configure the modem once, even if power is lost. Refer to the modem users guide
for a complete list of the Hayes command set.
Follow the steps in Procedure 7-4 to set up the modem.

Troubleshooting: all ports busy (Continued)

Check whether the details are entered correctly in /etc/remote, ensuring


that the correct device has been specified.

There could be a permissions problem on the device. If necessary, change


the permissions and ownership of the modem port by entering the following
commands at the # prompt:
chmod 666 /dev/cua/a
chown uucp /dev/cua/a
ls -Ll /dev/cua/a to verify permissions and ownership.

NOTE
If cu is abruptly killed, the device is left with an owner of the
last cu user.

Check for a lock file in /var/spool/locks. If there is a lock file, for example,
LK.032.028.001, then cat the file. The number displayed is the Processed
ID (PID). Use the ps command to determine if the process is still active.
Remove the lock file. If the message All ports busy is displayed, kill
the process. If the process is defunct, it cannot be killed and a reboot is
necessary. This happens because the driver is waiting at an un-linkable
level for the device to respond.

Another process has the port open. This could be another tip session, a getty
process or a defunct tip/cu process. At the # prompt enter the command:
ps -ef | grep tip
As root, enter for the appropriate device the following command at the #
prompt:
fuser /dev/cua/a
An example output is:
/dev/cua/a: 6520 6510
Based on the example output, enter the following commands:
ps -ef | grep 652
ps -ef | grep 651
The PIDs are 652 and 651.
If the process using the port is /usr/bin/login or ttymon, then somebody
has dialled the machine, the modem is active or the modem is asserting Data
Carrier Detect (DCD) all the time. The modem must be configured so that
the DCD is asserted only when a carrier is detected from the remote
modem. Refer to the modem documentation.

If the process is ttymon, there are two ways to kill the process. The easiest
is to use Admintool / Serial port manager, select the port from the Edit
menu, and delete the port service. (The modem is no longer configured for
dial-in). The command to remove the service is:
pmadm -r -p zsmon -s <SVCTAG>
(use pmadm -l to determine SVCTAG)

7-20

Bring the system down and then back to multi-user mode. The command is:
/usr/sbin/shutdown -i6 -g0 -y
Sometimes a complete reboot may be necessary to achieve a hardware
reset on the port.

Before rebooting, remove the device (do not leave a dangling cable - remove
the device at the SPARCstation) and delete the port monitor.

Procedure 7-8

Troubleshooting: no login prompt

Check if a ttymon process is started by typing the following command at


the # prompt:
ps -ef | grep ttymon
An example output is:
root 208 204 80 Sep21 ? 0:01
/usr/lib/saf/ttymon
root 17258 208 2 10:42:43 ? 0:00
/usr/lib/saf/ttymon
Where PID of 208 is the parent ttymon process and PID of 172.58 is the
child process for term/b.

Check if the ttymon process TTY has changed from ? to term/b by typing
the following command at the # prompt:
ps -ef | grep ttymon
An example output is:
root 208 204 80 Sep21 ? 0:01
/usr/lib/saf/ttymon
root 17258 208 6 10:42:43 term/b 0:00
/usr/lib/saf/ttymon

If this does not occur, check if the serial port has been configured properly
and the port monitor service is present by typing the following command
at the # prompt:
pmadm -p zsmon -l
An example output is:
PMTAG PMTYPE SVCTAG FLGS ID <PMSPECIFIC>

When to modify the EEPROM settings

Chapter 7: Configuring Auxiliary Devices

When to modify the EEPROM settings


Do not change the EEPROMs unless trying to get a terminal working at boot prom level.

Corruption from SPARCstation with remote system logging in


This is usually an indication that the modem speed and the configured port monitor speed
are not matched:

Check the modem speed and make certain that it matches the speed of the SPARCstation.

Connect back to the modem, using tip, and verify the modem configuration.

NOTE
The modem must be able to lock the modem speed and match the port monitor speed
(speed configured using Admintool / Serial port manager).

Modem hangs up after answering a call and negotiation


This is probably due to one or both modems forcing it to use a particular connect speed or
compression protocol - if one modem cannot manage to connect to the other modem, the modem
hangs up. Check the settings of both modems.

Permission denied or link down


If this message appears from the tip utility, perform the following:

Procedure 7-9

Troubleshooting permission denied or link down

Ensure that dv=/dev/cua/a or dv=/dev/cua/b are present in the hardwire


entry of the /etc/remote file.

Check in /var/spool/locks for a lock file LCK.* and remove that file.

Check the permissions on the serial device (/dev/cua/a or /dev/cua/b)


and ownership.

Modems do not disconnect properly


The modem does not disconnect properly or a user stays logged in even after disconnecting.

Nothing happens when trying to tip the modem

The modem is not configured correctly. The modem must be configured so that the Data Carrier
Detect (DCD) is asserted only when a carrier is detected from the remote modem. Refer to
the modem documentation.

Nothing happens when trying to tip the modem


If this situation occurs:

Check the cabling to the modem.

Check if the proper port is being used.

Ensure that tip is being used in a shell tool and not in a command tool.

When dialing into the SPARC the modem never picks up the
phone
This situation indicates that the modem is not configured correctly, therefore:

Check if the modem is set up for auto answer (*AA2) for Motorola Modems or ATS0=2 for
MultiModem.

Ensure that the DTR light is lit on the modem indicating that the Data Terminal Ready is
asserted from the SPARCstation.

Login message is corrupt


The login message is corrupt and nothing happens when Return is pressed, but it does if
LF or CTRL-J is pressed.
If this situation occurs then reconfigure the remote computers serial port setup for 8 data
bits, 1 stop bit and no parity.

Cannot login: password fails


There is no utmpx entry and the user must execute login from the lowest level shell.
If this situation occurs, ensure that the terminal type is set to vt100 when setting up the port
monitor services and the environment variable TERM is also set to vt100 on both the local
and remote host.

Configuration and installation of a remote monitoring


terminal

Introduction
This section describes the configuration and installation of a remote SPARCstation terminal.
Remote terminals are used simply to monitor a regional OMC-R from a remote location or for the
purpose of night concentration where several OMCs may be monitored from one central point.

Single OMC-R monitoring configuration


The following text describes the configuration of a remote SPARCstation terminal. The single
OMC-R monitoring configuration is illustrated in Figure 7-2. The remote monitoring station
is used to monitor just one regional OMC-R.

OMC-R night concentration center configuration

The Sunblade 150 at the monitoring station is configured as a GUI server so that the OMC-R
software executes locally. Add the same users on the GUI server as are added at the regional
OMC-R. The remote Sunblade 150 must still NFS mount the /usr/omc/config/global, the
/usr/omc/ne_data and /usr/omc/ne_data/raw_stats directories across the network.

OMC-R night concentration center configuration


For large systems that contain multiple OMCs, an operator must be able to handover the
management of one network region to another OMC-R during the night shift. This necessitates
the provision of a mechanism to enable a single workstation access to multiple Single Platform
Processors. Figure 7-3 shows a configuration where the concentration center consists of one
Sunblade 150, which is configured as a GUI server for both region A and region B. Only one
SunBlade 150 is required.

Night concentration overview

Night concentration overview


The following are requirements and restrictions for the Night Concentration Center
Configuration:

A single workstation configured as either a GUI server or a GUI client, is able to access
multiple Single Platform Processors. One of these is the operators local OMC-R system.
The others are remote OMC-R systems that are normally monitored at night.

Access to OMC-R systems is mutually exclusive. The operator must use a different login
identity for each remote OMC-R. To gain access to a different remote OMC-R, the operator
must logout and login again as a different user. Each special user accesses a specific
remote OMC-R that is specified during initial setup of the Night Concentration feature.

The GUI server used for this feature is unable to support any clients. If a GUI client
processor is used then mount the OMC-R software from a local GUI server that is not
used for the Night Concentration feature.

A minimum 64 kb digital leased line is required to run the OMC-R remotely.

Naming conventions
The following naming conventions are used when
describing the setup of a night concentration center:
local_sys: The hostname of the local Single Platform Processor.
remote_sys: The hostname of the remote Single Platform Processor.
local_gui: The hostname of the local GUI server processor.
remote user: The username of the account used to access the remote OMC-R.

Prerequisites
Complete the following procedure before commencing the setup of a night concentration center:

Procedure 7-10

68P02901W47-S

Prerequisites

The local and remote OMC-R systems must have version 1.7.*.* of the

Introduction

Introduction
The Cisco 3662 router contains serial ports and channelized E1 ports for connecting the OMC-R
to the GSM network. This section gives a brief overview of the hardware and cables used,
and details the capacity of the 3662.

Router
The 3662 router contains six modular expansion slots. Each slot is capable of hot-swapping
network modules to allow for high availability. The configuration of the router dynamically
updates upon insertion or removal of network modules. The Console port located on slot 0 of
the router is used for the initial and basic configuration. There are two Fast Ethernet ports on
Slot 0 (top of the chassis).
Once the initial and basic configuration steps have been completed, connect through the
Ethernet 0/0 port to perform the rest of the configuration. However, this can also be achieved
through the Console connection. This Ethernet connection can also be used to debug,
troubleshoot, and monitor the X.25 packet switching if necessary.
The Cisco 3662 router contains 256 MB of SDRAM and 16 MB of flash to store the Internet
working Operating System (IOS). Refer to Figure 8-1 for identifying the positions of the different
slots on the 3662 router.

Four Port Serial Interface

Chapter 8: Cisco 3662 Installation

Four Port Serial Interface


The Four Port Serial Interface module has four ports numbered from 0 to 3. Each port can have
a data rate of 2 Mbps. The ports are identified in the Cisco configuration file by <slot number /
port number>. Refer to Table 8-1 for identifying the required number of modules for OMC
connectivity and the recommended slots used. Figure 8-2 is a pictorial view of the module.

Figure 8-2

Four Port Serial Interface module to connect to the OMC

Two port channelized E1 interface


The channelized E1 ports are used to connect the GSM BSS equipment. Each E1 port can
receive and transmit data bi-directionally at 2.048 Mbps, and provide up to 31 virtual channels.
Each individual channel or time slot can be configured as a separate serial interface. Each E1
card contains two physical 120 Ohm E1 ports. To connect 75 Ohm Network Elements, a 75-120
Ohm Adapter Cable is used. These ports are identified in the Cisco configuration file by <slot
number / port number>. For consistency, the first E1 card is inserted in slot 3, the second
into slot 4, and so on (reserve slots 1 and 2 for Four Port Serial Interface modules).
Refer to Table 8-1 for information on the recommended slots usage. The port numbers on
the E1 card are labeled as CTRLR 0 and CTRLR 1. Refer to Figure 8-3 for a pictorial view of
the channelized E1 module.

Initial configuration

Chapter 8: Cisco 3662 Installation

Procedure 8-2

Initial configuration

Power on the 3662 router.

NOTE
The 3662 router must be physically close to the OMC and Local
Area Network to accommodate the length of the cables.
When the Cisco router is first powered on, it goes through the Power
On Self Tests (POST). Several messages are displayed on the Console.
Once these are successfully completed, the router looks for an
Internetworking Operating System (IOS) to boot. The IOS to boot from
can be specified in the configuration file that is stored in the routers
non-volatile RAM. However, because this is the first time the router is
powered on, the configuration in NVRAM is empty. This causes the
router to search for a valid operating system in the flash memory.
The first valid IOS that is available in the flash memory is loaded.
Once the IOS has been identified and loaded, the router starts an interactive
session with the user to configure the router, and displays this prompt:
Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog?
[yes/no]:
no
2

The interactive configuration session is not used when the router is installed.
Therefore, answer no at the above prompt.

NOTE
If you inadvertently choose yes at this point, return to the above
prompt by powering the router off and then on again.
The router displays this prompt:
Would you like to terminate auto install? [yes]:
3

Press Return to terminate auto install. The router proceeds to complete the
boot up. Several interface state change messages are displayed until the
router completes its boot up.

Once boot up is complete, press the Return key.


The following prompt is displayed:
Router>
This is the basic user level prompt. At this user level, basic router commands
can be used to show interfaces that exist, the IOS version that is running,
memory status and other information. The router must be in privilege
execution mode to perform any configuration changes.

To enter privilege mode, enter the following command at the Router prompt:
Router> enable
The router prompt changes to the prompt below, signifying that it is now
at a level wherein the administrator has full privileges. This is known as
the privilege level. Privileged mode includes user mode functionality and
provides unrestricted access. It is used exclusively for router configuration,
debugging, setting Operating System (OS) parameters, and retrieving
detailed router status information.
Router#
The basic router configuration in the next section can be performed now.

Configuring the hostname and passwords


The following configuration steps show the commands that have to be entered in bold text.
Prompts and messages are displayed for indication purposes only.
Text within the <> characters are user-specific.

Setting the hostname


From the privilege prompt that was established at the end of the last section, (Router#) perform
the following steps:

Setting the passwords


Passwords can be set at three different points of the Cisco configuration:

Console password: Users are prompted for this password when connected directly to the
Console port of the router.

Telnet line password: Users are prompted for this password after initiating a telnet
session to the router.

Enable password: This password is requested on entering privilege level to configure


the router.

NOTE
Console and telnet passwords give user level access to the router. At this level,
the operator can use the show commands to view the status of the router. The
enable password gives the operator full privileges on the router.

While remaining in global configuration mode from Setting the hostname, perform the following
procedure:

Procedure 8-4

Setting the hostname

Enter the following commands to set the console password:


X25-3662(config)# service password-encryption

X25-3662(config-line)# password 0 <password>
X25-3662(config-line)# login
X25-3662(config-line)# exit

NOTE
Notice how the router prompt changes to identify the current
configuration level. The exit command is used to exit the line
configuration mode and return to global configuration.

Connecting the router to the OMC

Chapter 8: Cisco 3662 Installation

The following values are common to all entries:

Interface Type = H

Protocol = X25

Packet size = 128

Window size = 2

NOTE
Refer to the x25_config that is customized to your network.

OMC platforms have two HSI cards. Each HSI card has four serial ports. With two HSI cards,
redundancy is built into the X.25 network. Table 8-4 shows which ports (column 3) are defined
for each process (column 7). The Upload processes are initiated from the OMC and use links 0,
2, 4 and 6. The Rlogin Process uses link 1. Later in this section, there is a procedure for using
the Upload and Rlogin HSI ports for Bootload and Event Interface traffic, increasing the overall
performance and capacity of the X.25 network.

Connecting the router to the OMC


DB-60 to DB-37 (EIA/TIA 449 DCE) cables are used to make the connection between the
router and the OMC. The female ends of the 449 DCE cables are connected to the female HSI
connectors using 37-way to 37-way gender changers.
Before making the physical connections between the OMC and the router, refer to Table 8-4 to
determine the physical port connections at either end.
To complete the physical connections, repeat this procedure for each HSI port used in the
x25_config file:

Procedure 8-7

8-18

Connecting the router to the OMC

Determine the first physical port to be used on the OMC HSI (refer to the third
column on the first line of the x25_config file). In this case (from Table 8-3),
port 0 is the first port to be used. Connect the DB-37 male gender changer to
this port, connect the DB-37 female end of the 449 DCE cable to the other
side of the gender changer.

Refer to Table 8-4 to identify the corresponding router port. In this case, port
0 on the OMC side connects to 1/0 on the router.

Connect the DB-60 end of the 449 DCE cable to the appropriate port on the
Cisco 3662.

Configuring the serial interfaces to the OMC


Each of the serial interfaces that connect to the OMC has the same configuration. Perform the
following from the privilege level for each of the interfaces that connect to the OMC:

If a telnet session is used to configure the router, enter the following from the privilege
level:
X25-3662# terminal monitor
This command is used to monitor messages that are displayed on the Console port. Once
this command is entered, all Console messages for the period of this telnet session are
seen. This is useful to see the interface states changing as they are configured.

Enter the global configuration mode:


X25-3662# configure terminal

Execute these commands for each serial interface that is connected to the
OMC. The only parameter change necessary is the physical interface number:

X25-3662(config)# interface serial <slot number/port number>

The physical interface number is the same format as shown in Table 8-4.
The first interface to be configured is interface 1/0.
X25-3662(config-if)# encapsulation x25 profile OMC
X25-3662(config-if)# clockrate <clock rate>

The recommended clock rate for an E3x00 OMC is 256000. The


recommended clock rate for a Netra / SunFire OMC is 356000.
X25-3662(config-if)# no shutdown

The following lines should be displayed indicating that the serial line is up:
Interface Serial{Slot # / Port #}, changed state to up.
Line protocol on Interface Serial{Slot # / Port #}, changed state to up.
X25-3662(config-if)# exit
X25-3662(config)#

Repeat step 3 for all OMC connected interfaces. Using the x25_config file
in Table 8-3 as an example, the following interfaces on the router need to
be configured as described in the above steps:
interface

Establishing and configuring connections to the GSM equipment


Prerequisites
The number of physical E1 connections required depends on the topology of the GSM network.
In this section, it is necessary to know the following:
Which GSM network elements need to be connected to the router? The total number of network
elements that can be connected to the router depends on the number of channelized E1 cards in
the router. Each channelized E1 card has two E1 interfaces and each E1 interface supports 31
DS0 (64K) timeslots.

The type of physical cables to use depends on the GSM Network Elements. These are
either 120 Ohm or 75 Ohm. For 75 Ohm Network Elements, the 120 - 75 Ohm Adapter
Cable is required.

The timeslots to which the NEs are mapped on each E1 connection.

Controllers and channel groups

Chapter 8: Cisco 3662 Installation

Establishing the connection


The DB-15 to RJ45 cables are used to connect 120 Ohm GSM Network Elements to the router.
The Interface pinouts for the 120 Ohm cable are shown in Table 8-5. To connect 75 Ohm GSM
Network Elements to the router, the 120 - 75 Ohm Adapter Cable is required. Connect the RJ45
plug at the end of the DB-15 to RJ45 cable to the RJ45 socket on the 120 - 75 Ohm Adapter Cable.
Make all the necessary connections, taking note of which GSM Network Element is connected to
which physical E1 port. Once a proper connection has been established, the Local Alarm light
on the physical E1 interface should disappear and the Carrier Detect light should go green. The
E1 port numbers follow the same numbering scheme as the serial ports that connect to the OMC
with the exception that there are only two ports. Once all the physical connections have been
established, the interfaces to the Network Elements can be created.

Controllers and channel groups


Each physical E1 interface is logically created on the Cisco 3662 as a controller. Each controller
has 31 64K timeslots available to it. In this section, multiple channel groups are created within
each controller (one channel group per NE). The purpose of the channel group is to define the
associated timeslot(s). Table 8-6 summarizes the steps taken to create connections to the NE.

NOTE
Use Table 8-6 for reference purposes only.
To view the controllers that exist on the Cisco 3662, execute the following command from
privilege level:

A separate channel group is required for


every NE that is connected to this controller.
It is possible to allocate several timeslots
to one channel group. However, only
one 64K timeslot is allocated to each NE.
<channel #> starts at 0 and continues
to 30. <timeslot number(s)>
starts at 1 and continues to 31.
The fist channel group that we create
uses channel # 0 and timeslots 1, the second
uses channel # 1 and timeslots 2 and so on
(timeslots 2 refers to timeslot 2, not 2 timeslots).
Each channel group created automatically
creates a serial interface. This interface is
configured in a later step for the X.25 profile
created for GSM.

Creating channel groups

Chapter 8: Cisco 3662 Installation

Creating channel groups


Use the following steps to create the channel groups in the controllers. These in turn
automatically create the serial interfaces, which tie into the appropriate timeslot.

Procedure 8-8

Creating channel groups

Enter the global configuration mode:


X25-3662# configure terminal

NOTE

For example, the first available controller is


typically 3/0, assuming the E1 Interface resides
in slot 3. The following command is used:
controller E1 3/0

By default CRC4 framing is turned on. To turn off the CRC4


framing, use the following command inside the controller:
framing no-crc4

Enter the appropriate controller:


X25-3662(config)# controller E1 <slot number/port number>

NOTE

For example, the first available controller is


typically 3/0, assuming the E1 Interface resides
in slot 3. The following command is used:
controller E1 3/0

By default CRC4 framing is turned on. To turn CRC4


framing off, use the following command inside the controller:
framing no-crc4

Create the channel group:


X25-3662(config-controller)#channel group <channel #>
timeslots <timeslot number(s)>

NOTE

Timeslot numbering starts at 1 for timeslot 1 and work up


to 31 for timeslot 31. Channel # is always one less than
the timeslot number. For example, to configure the first
three timeslots, the following needs to be entered in step 3:

To configure all timeslots in the controller, continue to:


channel group 30 timeslots 31

Motorola recommends creating channel groups only for the timeslots


being used, that is, for connected NEs.
For further information on this command, refer to Table 8-6.

As the interfaces are created, the following message is displayed for


each Serial Interface created:
Line protocol on Interface Serial{port number/slot number:
channel #}, changed state to down

Repeat Step 3 for all timeslots in this controller.

Exit Controller:
X25-3662(config-controller)# exit

To create further channel groups (serial interfaces) on other controllers,


repeat steps 2 through 4. Once all of the necessary channel groups have
been created, do the following:
X25-3662(config)# ^Z
X25-3662# write memory

To verify that the channel groups are established within the controller and
that the serial interfaces are created in the configuration file, do the following:
X25-3662# show running-config

NOTE
The channel groups configured in the previous note have the
following serial interfaces created in the configuration file
(assuming that controller 3/0 was used):
The Channel number is the timeslot number minus 1.

Enabling X.25 routing and creating Hunt Groups

Chapter 8: Cisco 3662 Installation

Enabling X.25 routing and creating Hunt Groups

Introduction
X.25 routing is enabled on the 3662 router to allow Virtual Circuits to be routed from one
serial interface to another.
Once X.25 routing has been enabled, the X.25 routes can be created. X.25 routes are created
in the next section.
Hunt Groups are used as a method of load balancing across several serial links. In this section,
Hunt Groups are created to load balance the NE Virtual Circuits across the serial interfaces
that connect the OMC.

Enabling X.25 routing


To enable X.25 routing, do the following from privilege level on the 3662 router:

Procedure 8-10

Enabling X.25 routing

Enter global configuration mode:


X25-3662# configure terminal

Enable X.25 routing by entering the following:


X25-3662(config)# x25 routing

Save the configuration:


X25-3662(config)# ^Z
X25-3662# write memory

Creating X.25 Hunt Groups


Two Hunt Groups are created for load sharing the serial connections to the OMC.

BOOTLOAD: This Hunt Group shares the serial connections that are used for bootload. For
example, if six NEs are bootloading at the same time, they are evenly distributed across all
interfaces that are defined in this Hunt Group.

EVENTS: This Hunt Group shares the serial connections that are defined for event
interface.

There are two types of Hunt Groups available, vc-count and rotary. Motorola recommends
the use of vc-count, as this method sends calls to the interface that has the largest number of
available logical channels. This method ensures a good load balance when lines are of equal
speed.

68P02901W47-S
Jul 2008

Installation and Configuration: OMC-R Clean Install

Creating the BOOTLOAD Hunt Group

At least two serial interfaces participate in each of these Hunt Groups. This is because two lines
in the x25_config file are defined for Bootload (lines 1 and 2) and two lines are defined for Event
Interface (3 and 4). However, because the OMC can route Bootload and Event data to the
correct process from any of the HSI ports, all of the connected serial lines (that connect to the
OMC) can participate in each Hunt Group.

NOTE
If any of the serial interfaces participating in the Hunt Group are down or not
connected, the interface shows them as being unavailable in the Hunt Group upon
entering the command
show x25hunt-group

Creating the BOOTLOAD Hunt Group


Serial 1/0 and Serial 2/0 are the two bootload channels defined in the x25_config example in
Table 8-3 (column 6 in the x25_config file defined the process, g_bootload for BOOTLOAD
and g_ei for EVENTS). Refer to the x25_config file on the live OMC to determine these ports.
Minimally, the two ports defined for g_bootload participate in the BOOTLOAD Hunt Group.
However, Motorola recommends that all serial connections to the OMC are included in the Hunt
Group, making better use of the serial interfaces, increasing redundancy and capacity.
For example, if the two g_bootload serial lines are disconnected, the Network Element can still
bootload from one of the other available lines participating in the Hunt Group.
Perform the following steps from privilege level to create the BOOTLOAD Hunt Group:

Procedure 8-11

Creating the BOOTLOAD Hunt Group

Enter global configuration mode:


X25-3662# configure terminal

Create the Hunt Group:


X25-3662(config)# x25 hunt-group BOOTLOAD vc-count
X25-3662(config-x25-huntgroup)# interface serial <slot
number / port number>

NOTE

68P02901W47-S

Repeat the last command for all serial interfaces participating


in the Hunt Group.

The following ports participate in the Hunt Group for a typical


OMC-R: 1/0, 1/1, 1/2, 2/0, 2/1, 2/2

Exit the global configuration mode:


X25-3662(config-x25-huntgroup)# exit

Jul 2008

Creating the EVENTS Hunt Group

Chapter 8: Cisco 3662 Installation

Creating the EVENTS Hunt Group


Serial 1/1 and Serial 2/1 are the two event channels in the x25_config example. Refer to
x25_config file on the live OMC to determine these ports. Minimally, these two ports participate
in the EVENT Hunt Group. Motorola recommends that all serial connections to the OMC are
included in the Hunt Group, making better use of the serial interfaces, increasing redundancy
and capacity.
Perform the following steps from privilege level to create the EVENTS Hunt Group:

Procedure 8-12

Creating the EVENTS Hunt Group

Enter global configuration mode:


X25-3662(config)# x25 hunt-group EVENTS vc-count
X25-3662(config-x25-huntgroup)# interface serial <slot number /
port number

NOTE
Repeat the last command for all serial interfaces participating in
the Hunt Group.
The following ports participate in the Hunt Group for a typical
OMC-R: 1/0, 1/1, 1/2, 2/0, 2/1, 2/2.
X25-3662(config-x25-huntgroup)# exit

Save the configuration:


X25-3662(config)# ^Z

command:
X25-3662# show x25 hunt-group
The output displays information about each Hunt Group.

Creating X.25 routes

Chapter 8: Cisco 3662 Installation

Creating X.25 routes

Introduction
In this section, the X.25 routing table is created. When the 3662 router receives an X.25 call
that must be forwarded, the X.25 routing table determines which destination to use. The routing
table is scanned sequentially from top to bottom and the first route that matches the address
criteria is used for the X.25 call. The user determines the order of the routing table when
entering new routes. This way, the user can control which routes should take precedence when
creating secondary or redundant links (that is, dual OMLs to the BSS).

X.121 addresses
In this section, it is important to know the addresses being used and the port-timeslot that they
are associated with. These addresses are referred to as X.121 addresses. An X.121 address is
assigned to each Network Element and each channel on the OMC. The X.121 address for the
OMC is defined in the x25_config file (column 4) and can be identified on the GSM NEs by
using the disp_dte command at the NE MMI prompt. The address is displayed in the NE DTE
addresses section. X.121 addresses are typically 14 digits in length.
An example of an addressing scheme is:

Adding routes into the routing table

Adding routes into the routing table


Follow these steps to create the routing table on the router:

The routes that use the Hunt Groups are established.

The routes to the GSM equipment are established.

The optional position parameter allows the user to define the position of a route in the routing
tables.
The routing table is scanned from top to bottom; hence the first matching address is used to
establish virtual connections. If this connection fails, the next route that matches the address
criteria is used. If the position option is not used, then by default the first route added would be
in position 1, the next route would take position 2, and so forth.

NOTE
Optional parameters are in brackets [ ].

Creating routes to the OMC


The following commands set the routes to the OMC using the BOOTLOAD and EVENTS Hunt
Groups created in the last section. Refer to the x25_conf file for the x.121 addresses.

Procedure 8-13

Creating routes to the OMC

Enter the global configuration mode:


X25-3662# configure terminal

Add the route:


X25-3662(config)# x25 route [# position] <X.121 address>
hunt-group <Hunt Group Name>

NOTE
The following is an example of the routes that would be necessary if
using the x25_config file in Table 8-3 and the Hunt Groups created
in the last section:
X25 route 2020130000061 hunt-group BOOTLOAD
X25 route 2020130001062 hunt-group BOOTLOAD
X25 route 2020130000241 hunt-group EVENTS
X25 route 2020130001142 hunt-group EVENTS

Creating routes to the GSM equipment

Chapter 8: Cisco 3662 Installation

Creating routes to the GSM equipment


To create routes to the GSM equipment, perform the following:

Procedure 8-14

Creating routes to the GSM equipment

Enter global configuration mode:


X25-3662# configure terminal

Repeat this command for all routes to the NE equipment, including secondary
OMLs:
X25-3662(config)# x25 route [# position] <X.121 address> interface
serial <slot number/port number:channel #>

NOTE
The channel # is only necessary when connecting to GSM network
elements on the E1 lines. In the following example, the primary
OML is routed out of timeslot 6 (channel 5) on controller 3/1. The
secondary OML is routed out of timeslot 6 on controller 4/1.
X25 route 41503002010000 interface serial 3/1:5
X25 route 41503002010000 interface serial 4/1:5

Introduction to the Cisco 3845 router hardware

Introduction to the Cisco 3845 router hardware


The Cisco 3845 router contains serial ports and channelized E1 ports for connecting the OMC-R
to the GSM network. This section gives a brief overview of the hardware and cables used, and
details the capacity of the 3845. Use this section to become familiar with the slot numbering in
the 3845 and the port numbering on the interfaces that are contained in these slots.

Router
The 3845 router contains six modular expansion slots. Each slot is capable of hot-swapping
network modules to allow for high availability. Insert the network modules before clock rates,
hunt groups can be configured. The Console port located on slot 0 of the router is used for
the initial and basic configuration. There are two Gigabit Ethernet ports on Slot 0 (top of
the chassis). The first one is used for router configuration, the second one can be used as
an interconnect to another router.
Once the initial and basic configuration steps have been completed, connect through the
Ethernet 0/0 port to perform the rest of the configuration. However, this can also be achieved
through the Console connection. This Ethernet connection can also be used to debug,
troubleshoot, and monitor the X.25 packet switching if necessary.
The Cisco 3845 router contains 256 MB of SDRAM and 16 MB of flash to store the Internet
working Operating System (IOS). Refer to Figure 9-1 for identifying the positions of the different
slots on the 3845 router.

Figure 9-1

3845 router

Four Port Serial Interface


The two Four Port Serial Interface (HWIC) modules have four ports numbered from 0 to 3.
Each port can have a data rate of 2 Mbps. The ports are identified in the Cisco configuration
file by <slot number / side number (i.e. 0/0 or 0/1)/ port number>. Refer to Table 9-1 for
identifying the required number of modules for OMC connectivity and the recommended slots
used. Figure 9-2 is a pictorial view of the module.

Two port channelized E1 interface

Chapter 9: Cisco 3845 Installation

The HWIC cards support smart serial interfaces. This means that the type of interface is
defined by what cable is connected to each port. Cables must therefore be connected before
configuring the ports.

Figure 9-2

Four Port Serial Interface module to connect to the OMC

Two port channelized E1 interface


The channelized E1 ports are used to connect the GSM BSS equipment. Each E1 port can
receive and transmit data bi-directionally at 2.048 Mbps, and provide up to 31 virtual channels.
Each individual channel or time slot can be configured as a separate serial interface. Each E1
card contains two physical 120 Ohm E1 ports. To connect 75 Ohm Network Elements, a 75-120
Ohm Adapter Cable is used. These ports are identified in the Cisco configuration file by <slot
number / port number>. For consistency, the first E1 card is inserted in slot 3, the second
into slot 4, and so on (Reserve slots 1 and 2 for Four Port Serial Interface modules).
Refer to Table 9-1 for information on the recommended slots usage. The port numbers on
the E1 card are labeled as CTRLR 0 and CTRLR 1. Refer to Figure 9-3 for a pictorial view of
the channelized E1 module.

Initial configuration

Chapter 9: Cisco 3845 Installation

Initial configuration
Once the previous section is complete, perform the initial configuration by following this
procedure:

Procedure 9-2

Initial configuration

Power on the 3845 router.

NOTE
The 3845 router must be physically close to the OMC and Local
Area Network to accommodate the length of the cables. If the
connection to the OMC is beyond 50 feet, twisted pair cabling
must be used to extend the connection.
When the Cisco router is first powered on, it goes through the Power
On Self Tests (POST). Several messages are displayed on the Console.
Once these are successfully completed, the router looks for an
Internetworking Operating System (IOS) to boot. The IOS to boot from
can be specified in the configuration file that is stored in the routers
non-volatile RAM. However, because this is the first time the router is
powered on, the configuration in NVRAM is empty. This causes the
router to search for a valid operating system in the flash memory.
The first valid IOS that is available in the flash memory is loaded.
Once the IOS has been identified and loaded, the router starts an interactive
session with the user to configure the router, and displays this prompt:
Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog?
[yes/no]:
no

The interactive configuration session is not used when the router is installed.
Therefore, answer no at the above prompt.

NOTE
If you inadvertently choose yes at this point, return to the above
prompt by powering the router off and then on again.
The router displays this prompt:
Would you like to terminate auto install? [yes]:

Press Return to terminate auto install. The router proceeds to complete the
boot up. Several interface state change messages are displayed until the
router completes its boot up.

This is the basic user level prompt. At this user level, basic router commands
can be used to show interfaces that exist, the IOS version that is running,
memory status and other information. The router must be in privilege
execution mode to perform any configuration changes.

To enter privilege mode, enter the following command at the Router prompt:
Router> enable
The router prompt changes to the prompt below, signifying that it is now
at a level wherein the administrator has full privileges. This is known as
the privilege level. Privileged mode includes user mode functionality and
provides unrestricted access. It is used exclusively for router configuration,
debugging, setting Operating System (OS) parameters, and retrieving
detailed router status information.

NOTE
The hostname X25-3845 is used in examples throughout this
document. Change this to conform to the network operators
naming convention. The new hostname is displayed.

Setting the passwords


Passwords can be set at three different points of the Cisco configuration:

Console password: Users are prompted for this password when connected directly to the
Console port of the router.

Telnet line password: Users are prompted for this password after initiating a telnet
session to the router.

Enable password: This password is requested on entering privilege level to configure


the router.

NOTE
Console and telnet passwords give user level access to the router. At this level,
the operator can use the show commands to view the status of the router. The
enable password gives the operator full privileges on the router.

While remaining in global configuration mode from Setting the hostname, perform the
following procedure:

Procedure 9-4

Setting the passwords

Enter the following commands to set the console password:


X25-3845(config)# service password-encryption
X25-3845(config)# line console 0
X25-3845(config-line)# password 0 <password>
X25-3845(config-line)# login

to communicate with other Local Area Networks. Refer to the network
administrator for these parameters, if necessary:
X25-3845(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 <Gateway Address>
X25-3845(config)# CTRL-z
X25-3845#

Verify that the LAN connection is up by entering the following command:


X25-3845# show interface fastEthernet 0/0
The first line identifies if the FastEthernet link is up by displaying the following:
FastEthernet0/0 is up, line protocol is up

A telnet session can now be established to the Cisco 3845 router from a
workstation on the same LAN.

NOTE
Remain connected on the console while testing telnet connectivity
from another workstation. This is a safe way to verify that all
passwords are set correctly.
To establish a telnet session, perform the following from a workstation:
telnet <IP Address set in step 1 above>
User Access Verification
Password: <Password set for line vty 0 to 4>
X25-3845> enable
Password: <enable password>

After completing the previous step, all configurations to this point have been
verified. The configuration changes made in all the previous steps can now be
saved to Non- Volatile RAM on the router to make them permanent. Without
doing this, a router reboot loses all configuration set in previous steps. To
save these changes, do the following:
X25-3845# write memory

The console connection that was established to do the basic router


configuration can now be disconnected after exiting.

Chapter 9: Cisco 3845 Installation

Packet size = 128

Window size = 2

NOTE
Refer to the x25_config that is customized to your network.
OMC platforms have two HSI cards. Each HSI card has four serial ports. With two HSI cards,
redundancy is built into the X.25 network. Table 9-4 shows which ports (column 3) are defined
for each process (column 7). The Upload processes are initiated from the OMC and use links 0,
2, 4 and 6. The Rlogin Process uses link 1. Later in this section, there is a procedure for using
the Upload and Rlogin HSI ports for Bootload and Event Interface traffic, increasing the overall
performance and capacity of the X.25 network.

Connecting the router to the OMC


High Density Smart Serial to DB-37 (EIA/TIA - 449 DCE) cables are used to make the connection
between the router and the OMC. The female ends of the 449 DCE cables are connected to the
female HSI connectors using 37-way to 37-way gender changers.
Before making the physical connections between the OMC and the router, refer to Table 9-4 to
determine the physical port connections at either end.
To complete the physical connections, repeat this procedure for each HSI port used in the
x25_config file:

Procedure 9-7

Connecting the router to the OMC

Determine the first physical port to be used on the OMC HSI (refer to the third
column on the first line of the x25_config file). In this case (from Table 9-4),
port 0 is the first port to be used. Connect the DB-37 male gender changer to
this port, connect the DB-37 female end of the 449 DCE cable to the other
side of the gender changer.

Refer to Table 9-4 to identify the corresponding router port. In this case, port
0 on the OMC side connects to 0/0/0 on the router.

Connect the Smart Serial end of the 449 DCE cable to the appropriate port on
the Cisco 3845.

Configuring the serial interfaces to the OMC


Each of the serial interfaces that connect to the OMC has the same configuration. Perform the
following from the privilege level for each of the interfaces that connect to the OMC:

If a telnet session is used to configure the router, enter the following from the privilege
level:
X25-3845# terminal monitor
This command is used to monitor messages that are displayed on the Console port. Once
this command is entered, all Console messages for the period of this telnet session are
seen. This is useful to see the interface states changing as they are configured.

Enter the global configuration mode:


X25-3845# configure terminal

68P02901W47-S

Execute these commands for each serial interface that is connected to the OMC. The only
parameter change necessary is the physical interface number (for example, 0/0/0, 0/0/1):

9-19
Jul 2008

Configuring the serial interfaces to the OMC

Chapter 9: Cisco 3845 Installation

X25-3845(config)# interface serial <slot number/port number>

NOTE

The physical interface number is the same format as shown in Table 9-4.
The first interface to be configured is interface 1/0.
X25-3845(config-if)# encapsulation x25 profile OMC
X25-3845(config-if)# clockrate <clock rate>

The recommended clock rate for an E3x00 OMC is 252000.


The recommended clock rate for a Netra OMC is 252000.
The recommended clock rate for a SunFire OMC is 2016000.
If the clock rate value is not configured on the serial interface ,then the
clock rate is automatically set to it's default value of 2016000. Therefore, it
is not necessary to set the clock rate value when connecting to a SunFire
If required, previous clock rate values can be removed by using the " no
clock rate "command:
X25-3845(config-if)# no clock rate
X25-3845(config-if)# no shutdown
X25-3845(config-if)# exit
X25-3845(config)#

The following lines should be displayed indicating that the serial line is up:
Interface Serial{Slot # / HWIC number # / Port #}, changed state to up.
Line protocol on Interface Serial{Slot # / HWIC # / Port #}, changed
state to up.

Repeat step 3 for all OMC connected interfaces. Using the x25_config file
inTable 9-3 as an example, the following interfaces on the router must be
configured as described in the above steps:

Establishing and configuring connections to the GSM equipment


Prerequisites
The number of physical E1 connections required depends on the topology of the GSM network.
In this section, it is necessary to know the following:
Which GSM network elements need to be connected to the router? The total number of network
elements that can be connected to the router depends on the number of channelized E1 cards in
the router. Each channelized E1 card has two E1 interfaces and each E1 interface supports 31
DS0 (64K) timeslots.

The type of physical cables to use depends on the GSM Network Elements. These are
either 120 Ohm or 75 Ohm. For 75 Ohm Network Elements, the 120 - 75 Ohm Adapter
Cable is required.

The timeslots to which the NEs are mapped on each E1 connection.

Controllers and channel groups

Chapter 9: Cisco 3845 Installation

Establishing the connection


The 120 - 75 Ohm Adapter Cables are used to connect 75 Ohm GSM Network Elements to the
router. Make all the necessary connections, taking note of which GSM Network Element is
connected to which physical E1 port. Once a proper connection has been established, the Local
Alarm light on the physical E1 interface should disappear and the Carrier Detect light should go
green. The E1 port numbers follow the same numbering scheme as the serial ports that connect
to the OMC with the exception that there are only two ports. Once all the physical connections
have been established, the interfaces to the Network Elements can be created.

Controllers and channel groups


Each physical E1 interface is logically created on the Cisco 3845 as a controller. Each controller
has 31 64K timeslots available to it. In this section, multiple channel groups are created within
each controller (one channel group per NE). The purpose of the channel group is to define the
associated timeslot(s). Table 9-5 summarizes the steps taken to create connections to the NE.

NOTE
Use Table 9-5 for reference purposes only.
To view the controllers that exist on the Cisco 3845, execute the following command from
privilege level:
X25-3845# show running-config
The following is an example of what can be seen in the configuration file.
!card type command needed for slot 1
!card type command needed for slot 2
To identify the cards as E1 cards, enter this into the configuration file using the following
commands:
X25-3845# configure terminal
X25-3845(config)# card type e1 1
X25-3845(config)# card type e1 2
X25-3845(config)# card type e1 3 (If E1 expansion using slot 3 is used)
X25-3845(config)# card type e1 4 (If E1 expansion using slot 4 is used)
X25-3845(config)# exit
To view the controllers now identified in the configuration as E1 controllers on the Cisco 3845,
execute the following command from privilege level:
X25-3845# show running-config
Following is an excerpt from a sample configuration file showing two controllers, the first
controller is port 0 in slot 3 of the router, and the second is port one in slot 3:
controller E1 3/0

channel group <channel


#> timeslots <timeslot
number(s)>

A separate channel group is required for


every NE that is connected to this controller.
It is possible to allocate several timeslots
to one channel group. However, only
one 64K timeslot is allocated to each NE.
<channel #> starts at 0 and continues to 30.
<timeslot number(s)> starts at 1 and continues to 31.
The fist channel group that we create uses channel
# 0 and timeslots 1, the second uses channel
# 1 and timeslots 2 and so on (timeslots
2 refers to timeslot 2, not 2 timeslots).
Each channel group created automatically creates
a serial interface. This interface is configured in a
later step for the X.25 profile created for GSM.

Exit

This step exits controller configuration level and


returns to global configuration mode. At this point,
step 1 and 2 can be repeated to create channel
groups in other controllers.

Timeslot numbering starts at 1 for timeslot 1 and work up


to 31 for timeslot 31. Channel # is always one less than
the timeslot number. For example, to configure the first
three timeslots, the following needs to be entered in step 3:
channel group 0 timeslots 1
channel group 1 timeslots 2
channel group 2 timeslots 3

To configure all timeslots in the controller, continue to:


channel group 30 timeslots 31

Motorola recommends creating channel groups only for the


timeslots being used, that is, for connected NEs.
For further information on this command, refer to Table 9-5.

As the interfaces are created, the following message is


displayed for each Serial Interface created:

Line protocol on Interface Serial{port number/slot number:


channel #}, changed state to down

Repeat Step 3 for all timeslots in this controller.

Enabling X.25 routing and creating Hunt Groups

Chapter 9: Cisco 3845 Installation

Enabling X.25 routing and creating Hunt Groups

Introduction
X.25 routing is enabled on the 3845 router to allow Virtual Circuits to be routed from one
serial interface to another.
Once X.25 routing has been enabled, the X.25 routes can be created. X.25 routes are created
in the next section.
Hunt Groups are used as a method of load balancing across several serial links. In this section,
Hunt Groups are created to load balance the NE Virtual Circuits across the serial interfaces
that connect the OMC.

Enabling X.25 routing


To enable X.25 routing, do the following from privilege level on the 3845 router:

Procedure 9-10

Enabling X.25 routing

Enter global configuration mode:


X25-3845# configure terminal

Enable X.25 routing by entering the following:


X25-3845(config)# x25 routing

Save the configuration:


X25-3845(config)# ^Z
X25-3845# write memory

Creating X.25 Hunt Groups


Two Hunt Groups are created for load sharing the serial connections to the OMC.

BOOTLOAD: This Hunt Group shares the serial connections that are used for bootload. For
example, if six NEs are bootloading at the same time, they are evenly distributed across all
interfaces that are defined in this Hunt Group.

EVENTS: This Hunt Group shares the serial connections that are defined for event
interface.

There are two types of Hunt Groups available, vc-count and rotary. Motorola recommends
the use of vc-count, as this method sends calls to the interface that has the largest number of
available logical channels. This method ensures a good load balance when lines are of equal
speed.

68P02901W47-S
Jul 2008

Installation and Configuration: OMC-R Clean Install

Creating the BOOTLOAD Hunt Group

At least two serial interfaces participate in each of these Hunt Groups. This is because two lines
in the x25_config file are defined for Bootload (lines 1 and 2) and two lines are defined for Event
Interface (3 and 4). However, because the OMC can route Bootload and Event data to the
correct process from any of the HSI ports, all of the connected serial lines (that connect to the
OMC) can participate in each Hunt Group.

NOTE
If any of the serial interfaces participating in the Hunt Group are down or not
connected, the interface shows them as being unavailable in the Hunt Group upon
entering the command
show x25hunt-group

Creating the BOOTLOAD Hunt Group


Serial 1/0 and Serial 2/0 are the two bootload channels defined in the x25_config example in
Table 9-1 (column 6 in the x25_config file defined the process, g_bootload for BOOTLOAD
and g_ei for EVENTS). Refer to the x25_config file on the live OMC to determine these ports.
Minimally, the two ports defined for g_bootload participate in the BOOTLOAD Hunt Group.
However, Motorola recommends that all serial connections to the OMC are included in the Hunt
Group, making better use of the serial interfaces, increasing redundancy and capacity.
For example, if the two g_bootload serial lines are disconnected, the Network Element can still
bootload from one of the other available lines participating in the Hunt Group.
Perform the following steps from privilege level to create the BOOTLOAD Hunt Group:

Procedure 9-11

Creating the BOOTLOAD Hunt Group

Enter global configuration mode:


X25-3845# configure terminal

Create the Hunt Group:


X25-3845(config)# x25 hunt-group BOOTLOAD vc-count
X25-3845(config-x25-huntgroup)# interface serial <slot
number / port number>

NOTE
Repeat the last command for all serial interfaces participating in
the Hunt Group.
The following ports participate in the Hunt Group for a typical
OMC-R: 0/0/0, 0/0/1, 0/0/2, 0/1/0, 0/1/1, 0/1/2

Creating X.25 routes

Chapter 9: Cisco 3845 Installation

Creating X.25 routes

Introduction
In this section, the X.25 routing table is created. When the 3845 router receives an X.25 call
that must be forwarded, the X.25 routing table determines which destination to use. The routing
table is scanned sequentially from top to bottom and the first route that matches the address
criteria is used for the X.25 call. The user determines the order of the routing table when
entering new routes. This way, the user can control which routes should take precedence when
creating secondary or redundant links (that is, dual OMLs to the BSS).

X.121 addresses
In this section, it is important to know the addresses being used and the port-timeslot that they
are associated with. These addresses are referred to as X.121 addresses. An X.121 address is
assigned to each Network Element and each channel on the OMC. The X.121 address for the
OMC is defined in the x25_config file (column 4) and can be identified on the GSM NEs by
using the disp_dte command at the NE MMI prompt. The address is displayed in the NE DTE
addresses section. X.121 addresses are typically 14 digits in length.
An example of an addressing scheme is:

Adding routes into the routing table

Adding routes into the routing table


Follow these steps to create the routing table on the router:

The routes that use the Hunt Groups are established.

The routes to the GSM equipment are established.

The optional position parameter allows the user to define the position of a route in the routing
tables.
The routing table is scanned from top to bottom; hence the first matching address is used to
establish virtual connections. If this connection fails, the next route that matches the address
criteria is used. If the position option is not used, then by default the first route added would be
in position 1, the next route would take position 2, and so forth.

NOTE
Optional parameters are in brackets [ ].

Creating routes to the OMC


The following commands set the routes to the OMC using the BOOTLOAD and EVENTS Hunt
Groups created in the last section. Refer to the x25_conf file for the x.121 addresses.

Procedure 9-13

Creating routes to the OMC

Enter the global configuration mode:


X25-3845# configure terminal

Add the route:


X25-3845(config)# x25 route [# position] <X.121 address>
hunt-group <Hunt Group Name>

NOTE
The following is an example of the routes that would be necessary if
using the x25_config file in Table 9-4 and the Hunt Groups created
in the last section:
X25 route 2020130000061 hunt-group BOOTLOAD
X25 route 2020130001062 hunt-group BOOTLOAD

OML is routed out of timeslot 6 (channel 5) on controller 3/1. The
secondary OML is routed out of timeslot 6 on controller 4/1.
X25 route 41503002010000 interface serial 1/1:5
