CID OPERATING GUIDE
1. SUMMARY
The CID Operating Guide is an instruction manual that gives necessary and basic
information in order to start operating NECs Craft Interface Device (CID). The
information contains approaches to the setup, connection, and login/logout (to/from an
NE) for CID.
Information on operating the C-Node by using the CID, such as setting up parameters,
maintaining equipment, retrieving reports, and more, is provided in other manuals:
Provisioning manual and Operation and Maintenance manual.

2. ABOUT CID
CID (Craft Interface Device) is an advanced element management system developed for
the C-Node, conforming to ITU-T recommendations. It manages the C-Node in the light
of relevant recommendation requirements and realizes alarm management, performance
management, configuration management, maintenance management and security
management.
NE equipment management is mainly to configure attributes for NE, main board and
extended boards. Attributes for NE equipment are equipment types, NE interface,
protection switching group, NE timing source setting, etc.
Traffic management includes the management of transmission, end users and cross
connection.
About CID
2-1
F2880_F09
CID OPERATING GUIDE
Performance management provides 15-minute register and 24-hour register for each
performance monitoring. The former one holds accumulated performance monitoring
data of every 15-minute period, and the latter holds accumulated performance
monitoring data of every 24-hour period. Each register can be classified into current
register and history register.
The choice of performance monitoring type can be divided into 15-minute and 24-hour
affair according to cycle area. Monitoring object is one NE, one unit or one interface.

CAUTION
RS-232C cable length should
be less than 15 m (49.2 ft).
CAUTION
For RS-232C connection via f interface, dedicated
cable (E32-033-J8769-xxxx) for C-Node f interface
should be used.
CAUTION
f interface is not used for remote access. To access
remote C-Node via local C-Node, F interface should
be used.
CAUTION
When using F port to remote login and selecting
Remote at Login screen, please don't operate SDH
interface Loopback setting. The setting might not be
relieved because you disconnect to remote and can
not login again.

5.2 Login to NE
When the equipment communicates with the CID through optical transmission path and
intermediate equipment, the equipment is defined as Remote NE. When login remote NE,
loopback function for SDH interface is forbidden, but loopback for PDH interface is
allowed.
NOTE: CID operation via f interface supports only local management. The first login
after initializing for C-Node is only made by f port. Only after setting IP
addresses of F port and DCC port through login to NE by f port is login to NE
by F port possible.

possible to activate the further operation by double-clicking it in this window. After
the failures are cleared, the NE will be displayed in green again.
Network Tree
Also called as Guidance. This displays the network tree structure when configuring
network with several NEs, making switching of NEs simple. It is also possible to
activate the further operation for an NE by double-clicking the NE in the network
tree.
Message Window
Displays the current operation and objects as the function of guidance. For example,
when the OS sends commands down to the equipment or the equipment reports its
relevant messages up to the OS, these commands or messages will be shown in the
Status Bar.
To manage or modify the NE, double-click the NE in Network Tree or click the NE in
Network Topology in the CID main window. A dialog box for the selected NE
