1 Introduction

OverviewThe General DataComm TEAM 540 Network Manager enables you to monitor and contGDC SNMP 540 devices from a central location. The SNMP 540 communication productthe SNMP 540/IFP Data Service Unit (DSU) and the SNMP 540EN DSU.

The manager, based on the HP OpenView platform, provides access to product functionmeans of the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). You can start at the top lewith an IP map of the network and descend through a hierarchy of submaps that extendssegment and node level.

Icons appear on the manager screen colored to indicate alarm status using standard HPView color coding, thereby presenting an immediate top level view of trouble spots. At thvice level you can display an accurate view of an SNMP 540 front panel, including colorLEDs. An operator can monitor the status of a DSU remotely from a workstation locatedwhere in the network without having the actual unit at hand or having personnel at remote

If problems occur during its operations, the manager indicates them by displaying a mesor by causing the fields involved to blink.

TEAM 540 Network Manager FeaturesThe Team 540 Network Manager features the following capabilities:

• Graphical representation of devices within HP OpenView

• Monitoring SNMP 540 and SNMP 540EN DSUs

• Configuring SNMP 540 and SNMP 540EN DSUs

• Diagnostic function control for SNMP 540 and SNMP 540EN DSUs

The following are Team 540 Network Manager applications:

Unit Configuration - enables you to configure the operating characteristics of SNMP 540DSUs, and to select alarms to report or mask (not report).

Agent Configuration - enables you to configure aspects of how the SNMP 540 and SNM540EN DSUs function as SNMP agents: System Options, Community Names, Traps, anRouting.

OverviewUse the following instructions to integrate your devices with the network.

1. Get IP Address(es) and network mask(s) from your system administrator.

2. Set the IP parameters and network element configuration for both units througSNMP 540 terminal interface. You have the option of changing the Super CommName (Password). If you change it, note the name that you enter – you need it fosteps.

3. Connect devices to Telco, then perform a Remote Loopback with Self Test on the S540 units to verify the line installation. The test can be commanded by means of thminal interface on any SNMP 540 DSU; it can be commanded by means of the IntelFront Panel on an SNMP 540 IFP DSU.

4. Connect both SNMP 540 units to their routers.

For a SNMP 540 circuit that uses the router Auxiliary Port (or Terminal Server, etca PPP or SLIP Port, configure the Remote SNMP 540 unit with the same network as that of the far side LAN segment. Configure the Master SNMP 540 unit with the snetwork field as the local side LAN segment. For an example, see Figure 2-1, which il-lustrates a Class C network.

Figure 2-1 Installation

5. Confirm that the routers are up (connected and passing data). To confirm that theconnection is up, Ping a device on the remote segment.

6. If HP OpenView is not installed, install it and the GDC S/W application.

7. We recommend that you create a seed file for HP OpenView. HP OpenView readfile when it starts the Discovery process and discovers the IPs first. For informationcerning creation of a seed file, refer to your HP OpenView documentation.

3 Agent Configuration

IntroductionThe Agent Configuration function of the TEAM 540 software governs the operation of SNcommunications. It is principally concerned with Internetwork Protocol (IP) addressing anrouting for the SNMP 540 DSU. You must insure that these characteristics are properly sorder for the unit to communicate with the TEAM application workstation.

To Start Agent Configuration You can start the TEAM 540 Agent Configuration application either from a map window mbar or from a Front Panel display Select button menu. In both menu systems Agent Configuis a selection from the Configuration menu.

On the TEAM Universe submap in OpenView, first select the SNMP 540 DSU on which yintend to perform Agent Configuration by clicking the mouse on its icon symbol. Then selecAgent Configuration option from the Configuration menu.

From a Front Panel display click first on the Select button, then on Configuration, and theAgent Configuration.

Agent Configuration WindowYou can display the Agent Configuration functions individually: System Options, CommuName Options, Trap Options, and IP Routing Options. This is the initial condition when ylaunch the Agent Configuration application. System Options is the first to appear.

You can select All Agent Options in the Agent Configuration window View menu, describbelow, to display the Agent Configuration window with all four categories of options. The AgConfiguration functions cannot all fit on-screen at once when displayed in a single windowthe application provides a scroll bar on the right hand side for moving through them.

The Agent Configuration window has three pull down menus: File, Edit, and View. The conof the menus appear below.

System Options Fields

The three text input fields in the System Options window are labeled Contact, Name, andLocation. The application does not enforce any restrictions on the text you can insert in thfields, but the recommendation is that you record the following information:

Contact – name and telephone number of the on-site person responsible for care anmaintenance of the unit

Name – identifier assigned to the unit

Location – address of the site where the unit is located

To enter or edit text in any of the input fields, click in the field, highlight existing text if you nto change or replace it, and type.

The window also includes the display fields:

Description – displays the factory configured description of the selected DSU

Up Time – displays time elapsed since the last time a reset was performed or powercycled at the unit

Community Name OptionsThe Agent Configuration Community Name Options window enables you to define the SNCommunity Names that have access to the unit.

This includes assigning each an access level. A unit can access the MIBs provided that thsupplies the appropriate Community Name. Each Community Name, which is in fact a passhas an access level associated with it, one that you assign. If another unit supplies the proCommunity Name, that unit is granted the access associated with the name. For exampleCommunity Name of Public has an access level of Read Only, then a unit supplying this ncan only read the MIBs.

SNMP uses Community Names to restrict access to an agent. There are three access levelvariables:

Read/Write

Read

No Access

You can add, delete, and view Community Names in a unit. A unit can store up to five Community Names, each with its associated access and current status. Access in the unidefined as read-only, read-write, or noaccess. A special Community Name is required to adelete entries in the table. It acts as a superuser Community Name and can be used to readany MIB Object. Factory default for this Community Name is GDCGDC. When the unit is initially installed and powered up, it contains one default Community Name, public, having read-only access. You can change the default Community Name.

At least one Community Name with read-write access must be set in the Community Namebefore other MIB objects can be set. Use the special Community Name to set the first privCommunity Name, then use that privileged Community Name to set all other MIB objects.

Community Name MIB Description

In the GDCCMN-MIB there is a Community Name group. The maximum number of CommuNames at any one time can be determined by reading the MIB variable cmnCommunityNumber. The Community Name Table is in non-volatile RAM and need not be recreated each time this powered up.

The following information is defined in the Community Name Table:

CommunityName – string of up to 31 characters holds the Community Name; if you enmore than 31 characters, the unit ignores those in excess of 31

CommunityAccess – access associated with the Community Name (read-write, read-onoaccess)

CommunityStatus – status of the row entry, which is always Valid; when you set this statusto Invalid the application deletes the row entry

Adding a Community Name

To add a Community Name:

1. Click the pointer in the Community Name field and, when the cursor appears, entCommunity Name.

2. In the Community Access field select the type of access permitted.

3. In the Community Status enter a status.

This field determines a user’s access to the Community. For example, Read- Write lusers both read and write an agent’s MIB variables.

Traps Supported

Traps notify a network manager of the occurrence of an extraordinary event. In addition todevice-specific Traps for the alarm conditions it is configured to report, each unit supportsfollowing generic Traps:

Cold Start – sent when the first network interface is determined to be up

Warm Start – sent when a change is made to the configuration of the unit

Link UP – sent when any other network interface comes up

Link DOWN – sent when a network interface goes down

Authentication Failure – sent when an SNMP command is received with an incorrecCommunity Name (can be masked by means of the Authentication field).

The Cold Start Trap is sent instead of the Link Up Trap for the Ethernet interface. When aninterface is brought up, a Link Up Trap is sent.

Once the unit is powered on, Link UP and Link Down Traps may be sent to a network mawhenever an interface changes state. The Ethernet interface is never in the down state. Thinterface, the DBU WAN interface, and the WAN interface of the CTRL port can change sas part of their normal operation.

SNMP IP Routing (SNMP 540EN DSU Only)

In the IP group of MIB-II there is an IP Routing Table that contains an entry for each route knto the unit. The main function of the table is to equate each out-going IP packet with a routprovides the physical interface port. The routing table can be built via SNMP if there is an exIP connection to one of the ports. The routing table is stored in volatile memory, and it is lthe unit is repowered.

IntroductionThe TEAM 540 controller application consists of a group of smaller applications, each devto a specific aspect of controlling or monitoring SNMP 540 and SNMP 540EN DSUs. Thertwo means of access to the TEAM 540 applications: the map window menu bar, and the Panel window Select button menus. This chapter describes both. It also fully describes thInformation function, which is accessed through the Front Panel display and displays a reawindow to identify the revision level of the TEAM 540 application software.

There are three applications in the Performance category of both menus: Alarm Detail disalarm information in a read-only window, Line Statistics displays information about the netwinterface, DTE Status displays the status of signals in the DTE interface. The map windoPerformance menu also includes a selection for launching the Front Panel displays. This cfully describes all four applications.

There are two applications in the Configuration category: Configure and Maintenance. Easupports read/write windows by which you can review and alter unit operating parameterschapter describes how to access the Configure and Maintenance applications. Instructionusing the two applications appear in subsequent, individual chapters.

The Diagnose application supports one read/write window by which you can command tefunctions of the units and view results of each test as it is completed. It also supports a reaDiagnostic History window that displays the results all tests conducted during a diagnostisession. This chapter describes how to access the Diagnose application. Instructions for usapplication appear in a subsequent chapter.

TEAM 540 AccessIn order to work with the TEAM 540 applications you must first launch HP Openview. Witthe Openview system, icons for all TEAM-managed standalone devices are grouped togea submap identified as the TEAM Standalone Universe.

The icon for the Standalone Universe submap that appears in the Openview Root map cof the GDC logo and the word TEAM enclosed in a circle; the title below the icon is StandaWhen you double click on the Standalone icon the resulting submap displays icons for thindividual managed devices.

To access TEAM 540 functions you can either select a device icon in the submap and thenfrom the submap window menus, or double click on a device icon to open the Front Panel dfor the device. The Front Panel display provides Select button menus for access to the Tfunctions.

Map Window Menu Bar Access

The table on the following page illustrates how the TEAM 540 application functions are arranged on the menu bar at the top of the Standalone Universe submap window. The tableonly the menu selections for the TEAM 540 applications.

IntroductionThe TEAM 540 Configuration application enables you to set all the options in an SNMP 54DSU or an SNMP 540EN DSU through a convenient group of configuration windows.

To Start TEAM 540 Configuration You can start the TEAM 540 Configuration application by either of two methods:

• Select a DSU symbol on the submap in OpenView, then select the Configuration opfrom the Configuration menu.

• Click on the Select button of the Front Panel display, then click on Configuration anselect Configuration from the resulting menu.

TemplatesYou can store configuration settings as templates on the workstation that runs the TEAMapplication. A template stores a configuration for the unit options, and you can store as mtemplates as you need.

To load configuration settings from a template into the DSU you must perform the followisteps:

1. Select Load Template from the File menu and select the template from the resulting window. The application retrieves the configuration settings of the selected templat

2. Select Save to Unit from the File menu. The application makes the template configusettings the current operating configuration for the unit.

Configuration ProcedureThe following steps describe how to use the configuration application, and illustrate the functions of the Main Configuration window menus.

1. Access the Main Configuration window, either from the submap or from the Front Pdisplay. The application reads the current Main configuration from the unit when you the Main window.

You can select to base your configuration changes on either the current configuratiostored configuration template. In either case, the unit continues to operate using itsunchanged current configuration.

The Refresh selection on the Main window File menu causes the application to read thcurrent configuration from the unit. All changes to all configuration windows that havepreviously been saved to the unit or to a template are lost when you select Refresh

2. To edit the current configuration of the unit, proceed directly to the Navigate menu ascribed below.

When you change the value or setting of an option, plication displays the option name and the new value in white, rather than black, type.remain white until you either save the changes to the unit or a template by meansMain window File menu, or restore the option to its last stored value or setting.

You can discard changes to a configuration window and return all its fields to their stvalues in two ways:

• Click on the Reset button to discard changes while keeping the window open

• Click on the Cancel button to discard changes and close the window.

You can close a configuration window without losing changes by clicking on either theOK button or the pushpin icon, which is located in the upper left corner of the window.

You can keep multiple configuration windows open on-screen and move between theclicking the mouse on the one in which you intend to operate. The Main Configuratiowindow remains on-screen throughout the configuration process.

5. When you have accessed all the configuration windows that you need to and madeyour changes, click on the File menu button of the Main Configuration window. From thamenu you can select Save to Unit to save the new configuration in the unit, or select Saveto Template to save it as a template in the workstation.

6. When you select Save to Unit, the changed configuration becomes the current contion for the DSU you are configuring.

7. When you select Save to Template, a window appears containing a list of existing temand a field for entering a new template name. You can select an existing templateoverwritten with the new configuration, or enter a name to create a new template. A stemplate is available to be loaded by the application and then saved, with or without fmodification, to any unit of the same type.

Configuration Option Values

When you click the mouse on the entry field for a configuration item, a window opens contaall the values that are permitted for that configuration item. Hold down the mouse button unhighlight is on the value you intend to configure, then release the button. The newly selectedappears in the entry field for the configuration item.

6 Maintenance

IntroductionThe TEAM 540 Maintenance application provides two functions for controlling the operatioan SNMP 540 IFP DSU or an SNMP 540EN DSU.

To Start TEAM 540 Maintenance You can start the TEAM 540 Maintenance application by either of two methods:

• Select a DSU symbol on the submap in OpenView, then select the Maintenance opfrom the Configuration menu.

• Click on the Select button of the Front Panel display, then click on Configuration anselect Maintenance from the resulting menu.

Maintenance Window ButtonsThe Maintenance window provides two buttons for commanding resets in the unit.

Figure 6-1 Maintenance Window

Reset to Factory Defaults – causes all options in the unit to return to their factory default settings. When you click on this button the application displays a warning “Resetting to fadefaults will disrupt communications to the unit. Do you want to continue?” Type Y to compthe reset, or N to cancel the reset.

The unit does retain its IP address and mask settings when it is reset to factory defaults.

7 Diagnostics

IntroductionThe TEAM 540 Diagnostics application enables you to perform two tests on an SNMP 54DSU or an SNMP 540EN DSU. Line Loop is a local loopback that checks the internal circof the DSU. Remote Loop checks the local unit, the remote DSU, and the telephone linesconnect them.

Diagnostics WindowBeneath the menu bar and the Name field the Diagnostics window (See Figure 7-1) is divided into three areas:

• Selection panel – contains buttons and check boxes for selecting, starting, and stoptest functions

• Graphic panel – depicts the path followed by test data during the current test

• Time and results panel – contains input fields for specifying the duration of a test (innumber of blocks to be transmitted) and for specifying Resync Time; displays TimeRemaining and Test Results

The Diagnostics window menu bar contains File and Navigate. The File menu has only thselection by which you dismiss the window. The Navigate menu also has a single selectiHistory, by which you can access a display of test results (see Figure 7-4) accumulated during the current diagnostic session.

TestsThe Diagnostics window selection panel lists the two Tests you can choose from, three Payou can select for the DSU test pattern generator, and the two codes that can be used to coa remote DSU into a Remote Loop test. The panel also includes two buttons, Start Test anTest.

The following Tests are available:

Local Loop

Remote Loop

The three Patterns are:

511

2047

15 bit

Each Test and Pattern is accompanied by a check box on which you can click to select it

The two Remote Loop Codes are:

Diagnostic Test Procedure

Perform the following steps to select and carry out a test procedure on the selected DSU.

1. Click on the check box next to the selected test: Local Loop or Remote Loop.

2. Click on the appropriate check box to select the internally generated test Pattern youto use: 511, 2047, or 15 bit.

3. If you are running a Remote Loop test, click on the appropriate check box to select thmote Loop code that commands the remote DSU to perform the loopback. The codselect here is also stored by the local DSU as the one it responds to when receiveanother DSU commanding a Remote Loop.

4. Select, in the Test Blocks field, how many blocks of data are to be transmitted befotest ends automatically. The input field also displays the time required for the test.

5. Click on the Start Test button. While the test runs, the graphic panel illustrates the daemployed by the test. The Time Remaining field counts down from 100 to 0 percent

During the test the Test Results field displays Running: followed by the number of edetected.

6. The test ends automatically once the specified number of Test Blocks are transmityou have selected a value other than None for Resync Time, the application pausesspecified time before displaying the error count in the Test Results field.

The Stop Test button can stop a test before its automatic completion.

Line LoopFigure 7-2 illustrates the data path used in the Line Loop test. Because the pattern generatchecker are internal to the DSU, the test checks the internal circuits of the DSU but does nothe DTE interface.

Figure 7-2 Line Loop

Remote LoopIn this test the DSU sends the selected PN 127 or V.54 Remote Loop command to the remDSU. In response to the code the remote DSU connects its receiver and transmitter to esa loopback (See Figure 7-3). The local DSU then transmits the signal output by its internal tpattern generator. The signal received back is directed to the internal error detector of theDSU.

Diagnostics HistoryYou can view a record of tests performed during the current diagnostic session by selectinHistory from the Navigate menu in the Diagnostics window. The record appears as a listingDiagnostics History window (see Figure 7-4).

Figure 5-7 Diagnostics History

The Diagnostics History displays information in five columns:

Start Time – date and time test began

Pattern – test pattern used for the test

Test – name of the test

Test Time – duration of the test

Test Results – “Idle: n Errors” for a completed test; “TEST STOPPED” for any test thawas ended by the Stop Test button

To close the Diagnostics History window, click on either the OK button or the pushpin iconthe upper left corner of the window. During an on-going diagnostic session you can close aopen the Diagnostics History window without loss of display data.

The application clears the Diagnostics History when you exit from the Diagnostics window
