Objects in Topology

Objects in topology indicate the objects in the network. Each

element managed by the NMS is an object.

An object can be a subnet, an NE, a group NE, or a link between NEs.

Designing a Physical View

Before deploying NEs in a physical view, you need to design a physical subnet. The physical topology must show the topology structure of the actual telecommunication network and facilitate the routine operation and maintenance of operators.

On the physical topology, topology objects and the hierarchical relationship among objects are shown in the navigation tree on the left; all topology objects on the existing subnet and the location relationship among the objects are shown in the topology view on the right.

Classification of Physical NEs

A physical NE is a communication device that is connected

to the M2000 and can be managed by the M2000. The

M2000 can manage a communication device only when the corresponding physical NE is created on the M2000.

The M2000 divides the managed mobile network devices

into the devices of the GSM, WCDMA, CDMA, WiMAX, and LTE network based on the network that the NE belongs to.

IP devices are independent of the preceding networks.

Creating Physical Links

A physical link is a physical connection between two physical NEs. You can have a clear understanding of the telecommunication network between NEs and the communication status by setting up a physical link. The MTP3 MTP3B, and DATALINK links must be created manually.

Currently, the M2000 supports the following link types: M3UA,

H248, BICCSCTPLNK, DATALINK, MTP3, and MTP3B.

M3UA, H248, and BICCSCTPLNK links are automatically created

by the system. MTP3 MTP3B, and DATALINK links must be

created manually.

You can delete only physical links that are manually created.

Creating Multiple Physical NEs

The M2000 supports the function of creating multiple

physical NEs to reduce the maintenance workload. You can

create multiple physical NEs at a time on the topology.

Before creating multiple physical NEs in batches, you must

copy the information about the physical NEs to be created

to an .ini or .csv file. The operation does not support the creation of virtual NEs.

Monitoring an NE

You can choose System > NE Monitor to view the NE status, including the NE name, NE type, alarm status, and connection status.

Common icons in the topology view:

NE disconnected: NE disable connection: Synchronizing:

Setting NE Reconnection Status

When an NE is disconnected from the M2000 server, you can specify whether the M2000 server attempts to reconnect the NE.

There are two reconnection states:

Enable Connection

When an NE is disconnected from the M2000 server, the M2000 server attempts to reconnect the NE. By default, the reconnection status of a newly added NE is Enable Connection.

Disable Connection

When an NE is disconnected from the M2000 server, the M2000 server

does not attempt to reconnect the NE.

Manually Reconnecting an NE

You can manually reconnect an NE to the M2000 server when the NE is disconnected from the M2000 server.

In the physical topology view, right-click an NE with and choose Reconnect

NE from the shortcut menu.

Monitoring Cell Status

You can browse the cell status of a GBTS, NodeB, eNodeB, or MBTS by selecting the GBTS, NodeB, eNodeB, or MBTS. In addition, you can block and unblock, activate and deactivate a cell, and switch to the performance monitoring window of the cell by using the shortcut menu.

Adjusting the Network Topology

After a subnet, NEs, and links are

successfully created, you can

adjust the network topology as required. The network topology

adjustment involves operations

such as modification and deletion of the subnet, NEs, and links. The

shortcut menu supports the

preceding operations.

Adjusting the Topology View

You can adjust the topology view as required. The topology view adjustment involves showing or hiding the topology navigation tree, switching the current subnet, displaying the topology view in full screen, zooming the topology view, and customizing the topology prompt information.

Setting the Default Topology View

Set the currently selected subnet to the default subnet that

is displayed when you enter the topology view.

The configured subnet is directly displayed when you enter the main topology window next time.
