 WEB LCT APPLICATION

WEB LCT application allows an user connecting to an equipment via his own machine (PC, Workstation,
etc.) using the operating system and the Web browser at his disposal.

WEB LCT is an application resident in the equipment controller. It does not require any additional module
installed on the user PC (see Installation).

At start-up of WEB LCT application, the browser displays the WEB Local Craft Terminal (WEB LCT) page.

The WEB LCT page can be opened directly from browser or from SCT/LMT program (see Open/close the
WEB LCT page).
In the first case, the WEB LCT interface of the equipment, whose IP is entered in the address bar of the
browser, is opened (see Fig.1).
In the second case, the WEB LCT interface of the equipment selected in SCT/LMT application is opened
(see Fig.2).

Through WEB LCT application, the user can check the equipment operating status and directly intervene
to manage it, verifying/modifying the configuration parameters (see Functionalities and Menu and com-
mands (Equipment Menu).

Remote equipment list (info)

Every equipment has a remote equipment list stored in its own controller.

With remote equipment list we mean a list containing all the network remote equipment which you wish
to connect to.

For a better vision of the equipment during the setting of the list, the equipment can be subdivided into
stations in such a way that, when a station is selected, the application will display only the detail of the
equipment associated with this specific station. The station does not have any particular meaning: it has
been simply introduced to help the user during the localization of the equipment.

In every remote equipment list, a maximum of 100 equipment and 30 stations can be created.

The remote equipment list can be used to connect, at the same time, to more equipment only if the pro-
gram SCT/LMT is available.

When the user requests the connection to a generic equipment present into the network (local equipment),
at the connection of this equipment, SCT/LMT program reads its remote equipment list and automatically
forwards the connection command to all the equipment present into the list.

In this way, the application displays, in the Station List area of SCT/LMT graphical interface, all the stations
that group the equipment and, in the Equipment List area (selecting the relevant station), it displays the
functional status of the local equipment (that results in connected/login status) and the functional status
of all the remote equipment present in the list. The equipment which have answered to the connection
request of the application will result in connected/monitor status.

The application will cyclically forward the connection command, to the equipment which have not answered
to the connection request, until to:
• The connection with the local equipment is deactivated.
• The user disables the equipment.
• The equipment is deleted from the remote equipment list of the local equipment.

More details about SCT/LMT program are reported into the relevant manuals.

26 WEB LCT ALFOplus80 - Release 1.2 - MN.00286.E - 003

 Contextual area

The contextual area is the part of the WEB LCT page where the equipment parameters are displayed.
Its content changes accordingly to the selected command in the Equipment Menu area.

In the top part of the contextual area, there are push-buttons used to confirm or update the data present
in the area itself. Usually, there are:
Apply. Selecting it makes the changes, executed on the parameters present in the contextual area,
effective.
Its selection opens a confirmation window. The confirmation windows are timed. When this period
is elapsed (pointed out by the progress bar), if the user has not confirmed the operation, the window
is closed and the operation cancelled.
If the push-button is not available:
• It is not possible to execute changes because the user profile does not allow this or the
equipment is in connected/monitor status.
• No parameter present in the window has been modified. In this case, the push-button be-
comes available when the value of a parameter is changed.
• Another push-button is present in the contextual area for the confirmation of the operation
or the change of the parameters.
Refresh. Force the reading of the data from equipment.
If the push-button is not available, the connection with the equipment is not active.

Help. Open the help on-line.

For some commands, other push-buttons are displayed relevant only to the context which contains them.
These push-buttons are described in the paragraph relevant to the specific command.

Besides the push-buttons, the top part of the contextual area dynamically displays the group and the com-
mand selected in Equipment Menu area and which the displayed parameters refer to.

For some commands, the parameters are subdivided in tabs. The selection of a tab dynamically changes
the content of the contextual area.

The parameters present in the contextual area can be read-only or set or modified.
The description of the single commands (see Menu and commands (Equipment Menu) indicates the param-
eters which can be modified and modalities to do that.
Generally, for the parameter setting, the following rules are valid:
• Entering a value (alphanumeric string) in a text box.
If a red line is displayed below the text box, the entered value is not allowed because, for ex-
ample, a number of characters greater than the allowed one or an invalid value has been entered
(for example, entering of value 172.18.70.334 as IP address).
• Box with possible values displayed in a drop-down menu.
When the value is changed, a red triangle is displayed in the top left edge of the box. It signals
that the value has been changed, but the change has not been communicated yet to the equip-
ment (pressure of push-button Apply).

 Management configurations (info)

The ports of the Ethernet Switch of ALFOplus80 equipment can be configured for the transport of the traffic
only or for the contemporary transport of traffic and supervision.
For the transport of the supervision, the traffic Ethernet interfaces use a logic separation, based on VLAN
Tag (In Band Management), or a physical independence avoiding that the traffic shares this interface (Out
Of Band Management). The available management configurations are reported in Tab.1. Setting a specific
management configuration introduces some restrictions on the setting of the Ethernet Switch parameters
(see Limitations in the configuration of the Ethernet Switch).

WARNING In case of wrong configuration relevant to Ethernet management settings, the access to the
equipment CPU can be restored (see Restore the access to equipment CPU).

Routing Table

The function of the Routing Table is the one to check the routing of the supervisory messages exchanged
among the elements (PCs, equipment, etc.), that use the TCP/IP protocol, from one network to the other
one.

Running Routing Table

Each equipment at its initialisation (start-up operation) automatically sets the elements of the Routing Ta-
ble that identify the supervisory ports of the equipment (communication ports provided with the equipment
for the input/output of the supervisory signal).
These elements are set according to the IP addresses assigned to each port.
If the user changes the IP address of a supervisory port, the system does not dynamically change it into
the equipment Routing Table. The equipment must be reset, because the elements of the Routing Table
are set at the equipment start-up.
If necessary, the user can add some other elements to these ones (automatically set).
The system records each new element (manually set) into the currently used Routing Table (Running Rout-
ing Table) and into the backup memory of the equipment controller (Stored Routing Table); the system
does not record the elements (automatically set) into the backup memory of the controller because they
are newly set at every equipment start-up.
The Running Routing Table is a static. The system updates this table, with the elements present in the
Stored Routing Table, at every equipment start-up.

Stored Routing Table

The equipment does not currently use the Stored Routing Table. This table becomes operative on the
equipment restart.
In fact, in this case, the system inserts the elements of the Stored Routing Table into the Routing Table
used by the equipment (Running Routing Table). What just said is valid only for the elements whose router
equipment (Hop) is associated to an active interface.
The setting of the Stored Routing Table id necessary, for instance, when the user wants to change an ad-
dress of the equipment supervisory ports.
In this case, the currently used Routing Table (Running Routing Table) cannot be changed.
The changes have to be inserted into the Stored Routing Table. At the next equipment start-up, the system
inserts the elements of the Stored Routing Table into the Routing Table used by the equipment.

Default Gateway

The system forwards to the equipment with the Default Gateway function the data that have a receiver
unreachable through the routes present into the Routing Table.

Selecting a group, the list of the measures associated to the group can be expanded.
Selecting one measure, the options pointing out the measurement units of the parameters associ-
ated to the measure are displayed. This subdivision is necessary because it is not possible to graph-
ically represent the results of the control parameters by means of different measurement units.
Selecting one measurement unit in the right part of the window (see note 4), the result of the con-
trol parameters and the threshold exceeding alarms are displayed. If the measure has never been

(4) Graphical representation of the measure results. This area displays, in graphical format, the
results of the control parameters of the selected measure/measurement unit.
Every bar represents the result of the measure of one parameter in a given observation period (daily
or primary record).
The position of the bar on the x-axis indicates the daily or primary record which it is referred to:
• C.D. X100. Current daily record (24 hours). The displayed value must be multiplied by 100
to obtain the real measured value.
• L. D. x100. Preceding daily record. The displayed value must be multiplied by 100 to obtain
the real measured value.
• Curr. 15 Min. Current primary record (15 minutes).
• 15Min. ÷ 4 Hours. 16 preceding primary records (each record is of 15 minutes).

Moreover, for every record the relevant status is displayed: (ML), (MF), (IN), (LO), (RE). The de-
scription of every single status is reported in the following note. If the status indication is not pre-
sent, the record is not available, because the measure was not active during the considered
observation period.
The colour of the bar indicates the control parameter that corresponds to the value. The key of the
parameters and their colours is always pointed out above the graph. The displayed control param-
eters changes according to the selected measure/measuring unit (see note 3).
The position on the y-axis indicates the value achieved by the parameter during the specific obser-
vation period (record). The measurement unit on the y-axis changes depending on the type of pa-
rameter represented in the graph. Moreover the y-scale dynamically changes depending on the
entity of the represented values.

(5) Table representation of the measure results. This area displays, in table format, the results of
the control parameters of the selected measure/measurement unit.
For every parameter, the result of the measure is pointed out relevant to a given observation period
(daily or primary record). In detail, the column:
• Type. Control parameters. The control parameters changes according to the selected meas-
ure/measuring unit (see note 3).
• Curr. Day. Current daily record (24 hours).
• Last Day. Preceding daily record.
• Curr. 15 Min. Current primary record (15 minutes).
• 15Min. ÷ 4 Hours. 16 preceding primary records (each record is of 15 minutes).

What just said is valid from the second row of the table on, because the first row indicates the status
of the records (Count. Status). In detail, the wording:
• Meaningless (ML) (green) The record has been completely acquired and the measure is not
affected by errors.
• Meaningful (MF) (green) The record has been completely acquired and the measured control
parameters have not exceeded their threshold value.
• Incomplete (IN) (yellow) The record has not been completely acquired during the corre-
sponding observation period.
The measure starting record is always in this status. The daily record gets this status also
when only one primary record of the corresponding day is in incomplete status.
The daily record of the current date will be always an incomplete one because the daily re-
cords are acquired at 23.59 of each day.
• Lost (LO) (red) The record has not reached the main controller of the equipment for instance
because the corresponding peripheral card has been physically extracted before it could have
forwarded the record itself or for generic hardware/software troubles.
• Restarted (RE) (red) The record has been lost after a reset of the equipment.
When the equipment has a software restart and checks that the measure is activated for a
certain measure point, all the record coupled with such a measure point will result in this
status.
• ---. The record is not an available one because, during the observation period under exam-
ination, the measure was not activated.

 (6) Status of the threshold exceeding alarms. This area displays the status of the threshold ex-
ceeding alarms of the selected measure/measurement unit.
Each box represents an alarm:
• 15M <control parameter>. Threshold exceeding alarm of the specific control parameter into
one of the primary observation periods (15 minutes) present into the window.
• 24H <control parameter>. Threshold exceeding alarm of the specific control parameter into
one of the daily observation periods (24 hours) present into the window.
• UAS. Unavailability alarm.

The colour of the boxes represents the alarm status and severity:
• Red, Orange, Yellow, Light blue. Alarm activated coupled respectively with the Critical, Ma-
jor, Minor, Warning severity.
• Green. Alarm activated coupled with the Status severity level.
• Grey. Alarm deactivated.

The Rlt Thresh. boxes point out the threshold levels of the received power actually set. These pa-
rameters can be configured by the user.

The Tlt Thresh. boxes point out the threshold levels of the transmitted power actually set. These
parameters can be configured by the user.

 Measures available for ALFOplus80 equipment

The measures available for the ALFOplus80 equipment are the following:
G828 > Radio 1A
RxPwr > Radio 1A
TxPwr > Radio 1A

G828 > Radio 1A

The Radio 1A measure (G828 group) checks the quality of the received signal at radio side.
The check consists of measuring the following quality parameters:
• BBE (Background Block Error). Number of blocks where it has been detected at least one er-
rored bit not belonging to SES.
• ES (Errored Second). The second when there have been one or more errored blocks.
• SES (Severely Errored Second). The second when there have been a percentage of errored
blocks > N% (the N value can be configured) or the second when it has been activated an alarm
equivalent to the interruption of the signal at reception (Loss of Signal Alarm, Loss of Frame
Alarm, B2 Excessive Ber Alarm, etc.).
• SEP (Severely Errored Period). Number of periods with a number of consecutive SES comprised
between 3 and 9. The sequence is ended by a second without SES.
• UAS (UnAvailable Seconds). Number of unavailability seconds.
The counting of the seconds starts after P consecutive seconds with SES presence and it ends
at the beginning of a period of Q consecutive seconds without SES. The P seconds are counted
into the unavailability period. The Q and P values can be configured.

The parameters are implemented according to G.828 ITU-T Rec.

RxPwr > Radio 1A

The Radio 1A measure (RxPwr group) checks the power of the signal at reception.
The check consists of measuring the following quality parameters:
• TMMax (Tide Mark Max). Maximum value reached by the power at reception (RL) during the
observation period (15 min or 24 hours).
• TMMin (Tide Mark Min). Minimum value reached by the power at reception (RL) during the ob-
servation period (15 min or 24 hours).
• Average Level. Average level of the power at reception (RL) during the observation period (15
min or 24 hours).
• Rlts (Received Level Threshold Second). Number of seconds where it has been detected that
the value of the power at reception (RL - Received Level) is lower than the pre-defined threshold
level. It is possible to define up to a maximum of 5 threshold levels.

The parameters are implemented according to Standard EN 301 129 of the ETSI.

 PM measures (info)

A PM measure consists of recording, during a pre-defined time range (observation period), the values of
specific parameters.
Some threshold limits have been assigned to these control parameters (the setting of the thresholds can
be changed).
The exceeding of the threshold limit indicates a more or less serious degradation of the signal. This condi-
tion generates an alarm.
The alarms relevant to the threshold exceeding are treated by the equipment and by the application as
normal alarms. The only exception is that the alarm is not automatically reset at the return into the thresh-
old limit but the user has to execute the reset of this kind of alarms.
The control parameters under examination change according to the equipment type and to the measure
type supported by that type of equipment. Usually, all the executed measures refer to ITU-T Recommen-
dations (for instance G.828, G.826, etc.).

The activation (and the deactivation) of the PM measures can be executed only after a command forwarded
by the user.
When it has been activated a PM measure, the main controller of the equipment starts the storing of the
values relevant to the control parameters. The results of the measures are sub-divided into records. Each
record contains the values recorded into a specific time range (observation period).
If at the end of the observation period, the measure has not yet been deactivated the system starts another
observation period and so on until when the operator stops the measure.
The equipment group the results of the PM measures into observation period of 15 minutes (primary re-
cords) and of 24 hours (daily records).

The observation periods cannot be synchronized with the instant when the measure is activated, but this
records refer, for the primary records, to the quarter of an hour (00.00, 00.15, 00.30, etc.) and, for the
daily records, to the time 00.00 UTC (Universal Time, Coordinated).
For instance, if a measure starts at 11.40, the first primary record will have as observation period the time
11.40...11.45 (corresponding to the time range 11.30...11.45), while the first daily record will have as ob-
servation period 11.40...00.00.

When the user requires the display of the results of the PM measures, the daily and primary records rele-
vant to the running PM measures are displayed in the WEB LCT page of the equipment.

For each type of measure, the equipment keeps stored the current records and also the last 16 primary
records (corresponding to the last 4 hours) and the last daily one (corresponding to the preceding day).
The preceding records are overwritten.
When the operator stops a measure, the system stores the uncompleted current record.

If the operator activates and deactivates the measure more times during the same observation period, the
system will store the record that contains the results of the last executed measure.
For instance if the measure has been activated at 9.02 and deactivated at 9.07, then it has been newly
activated at 9.09, the record relevant to the observation period 9.00...9.15 will contain the results of the
measures relevant to the period 9.09...9.15, while the ones relevant to the period 9.02...9.07 will not be
stored.

If some PM measures are in progress on an equipment and this is restarted or turned off, at the next re-
start/start-up the measures active before the turn-off will be automatically restarted.
The records (primary and daily), relevant to the period when the measure has been stopped, will result
empty and when the limit of 16 primary records and 1 daily one is reached, they will overwrite the previous
records.

 SNTP functionality (info)

ALFOplus80 equipment, via SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) protocol, can update its date/time using
an element within the network as reference (SNTP functionality).

Via WEB LCT (or SCT/LMT) application, a maximum of two elements can be defined, one main (set in the
Main Server IP Address box) and one secondary (set in the Reserve Server IP Addr box), from which the
equipment automatically gets the reference date/time each n seconds (set in the Polling Interval box). En-
tering a valid value for the main and/or secondary element activates the functionality.

If the main element does not answer to the request of updating of the equipment reference date/time, this
request is sent for n times (set in the Polling Retries box) each t seconds (set in the Polling Timeout box).
At the end of this requests, if the main element does not answer, the equipment requires the updating of
the date/time to the secondary element.

If the secondary element does not answer to the request of updating of the equipment reference date/
time, this request is sent for n times each t seconds. At the end of this request, if the secondary element
does not answer the equipment, the system activates the SNTP servers lost Alarm and requires the update
of the date/time of the main element and so on.

If no network element set can be reached, the reference date/time of the equipment is not updated. This
condition is signalled by the activation of NTP Server Lost Alarm (SNTP tab).

To deactivate the automatic acquisition of the reference date/time, the IP address of the main and second-
ary elements must be reset.

Wake Up functionality (info)

The Wake Up functionality allows the user enabling the spontaneous forward, from the equipment to a re-
mote server, of a SNMP trap for the notification of the equipment commissioning (Wake Up trap).

This functionality has been implemented as help to the Auto Discovery modality available in the supervision
systems NMS5UX, NMS5UX-B and NMS5LX.

The Auto Discovery mode has the purpose to point out new equipment in the network, not managed by
the supervision system yet. More information about the Auto Discovery modality is reported in the relevant
documentation.

This chapter shows only the management of the Wake Up trap by the equipment. In detail, the implemen-
tation of the Wake Up functionality is the following.

Via WEB LCT (or SCT/LMT) application, it is possible:

• Define the IP address of the server where the supervision system, which the trap must be sent
to (NMS IP Address option - Wake Up tab) is installed.
• Define the time interval for which the trap must be sent, after which the sending of the trap is
automatically disabled (Timeout option).
If the value 0 is set for the Timeout option, the Wake Up trap will be sent until when the user
manually disables it or the NMS server automatically disables it when intercepts it.
• Activate and deactivate the sending of the trap.
To activate the Wake Up functionality, it is necessary to set a valid value (different from 0.0.0.0)
for the IP address of the server (NMS IP Address option) and select the Enable option.
To deactivate the functionality, it is necessary to select the Disable option or reset the NMS IP
Address option (value 0.0.0.0).
When the Wake Up functionality is activated, the equipment starts sending the Wake Up trap every minute
for the time interval defined by the user (Timeout option). For example, if the value 60 has been set as
timeout, the trap is sent each 60 minutes. At the end of 60 minutes, the sending of the trap is automatically
disabled.

If, in the period when the sending of the trap is enabled, the supervision system intercepts the Wake Up
notification records the presence of the new equipment in its database and disables the sending of the
Wake Up trap by the equipment (trap switch-off).

 Equipment firmware (info)

The firmware of the equipment is the assembly of all the firmware necessary for the management of the
entire equipment (firmware of the main controller and firmware of the peripheral units).

The firmware of the equipment is present into the main controller that is provided with two memory bench-
es (bench) the first one on service and the other one in waiting status.

Each bench can contain one firmware version (also different from the other one) of the equipment.

It is possible to update the equipment sw/fw relevant to one memory bench only at a time. The application
automatically updates the firmware of the memory bench not running or not present (Bench Status pa-
rameter - Loaded or Not Loaded value).

Factory Default of the equipment (info)

Through the graphical interface WEB LCT, the Factory Default settings of an equipment can be restored.

At the restart or at the new switch-on of the equipment, the Factory Default configuration will be applied.

All the settings executed until then by the user will be deleted (for example, user list, remote equipment
list, etc.).

In Factory Default status, the connection to the equipment and to the link takes place by means of the
Ethernet port AUX and using the connection modality Out of Band.

In order to login to the equipment, the default user must be used. Username: SYSTEM - Password: siae-
micr.

The communication ports of the equipment will be restored to the addresses pointed out in Tab.2.

These addresses differ depending on the type (High or Low) of ODU. The equipment keeps always in mem-
ory the type (High or Low) of the last connected ODU.

Agent IP Address Local Ethernet address

Rescue connection (info)

If the user has lost the connection with the equipment because of a wrong configuration of the connection
parameters, the recovery procedure can be used (rescue connection).

At switch-on, the equipment opens a time window of 20 seconds during which it makes itself reachable on
the LAN 1 and LAN 2 using the rescue connection address and accepts the user login through the correct
username and password. In this modality, the LAN 1 and LAN 2 accepts only frames without VLAN tag.

The rescue connection IP address is: 172.20.253.13.

Once logged in, the user can configure the equipment and possible, restore the Factory Default condition.

The detection of the time window during which the rescue connection can be attempted is managed by an
external software application.

 Backup/restore of the equipment configuration (info)

The WEB LCT program allows Save the whole equipment configuration (backup configuration). The saved
file is in binary format and can be saved on PC or external support according to the user needs.

Then, in any moment, the user can restore the equipment configuration saved to file transferring the data
of the file to the same equipment (configuration restore - Transfer the equipment configuration previously

Alarm and status signals

Alarm severity

Alarm and status signals

The term alarm defines the fault signal generated by an error or malfunction of the equipment or of any
component that composes it.
The term status identifies instead the signals referring to any event that does not indicates a malfunction
but a status change, an operation in progress or an operating indication.
The term event defines each single signal of status, detected alarm and cleared alarm.
A maximum of 400 events are recorded in the equipment controller. When this limit is exceeded, each new
event will overwrite the oldest event.

Enabling/disabling the alarms

The equipment alarms can be disabled and re-enabled by the user according to the needs.
Disabling an alarm means that, on the detection of the alarm itself, this is not registered in the equipment
controller and, as consequence, is not communicated to a possible management program: as the alarm
had never occurred.
On the contrary, enabling an alarm (default condition) means that, when the alarm is detected, this is reg-
istered in the equipment controller and, if the forwarding of the relevant trap is enabled (see next item),
the alarm is communicated to the management system and displayed in the current alarms and the history
alarms.

WARNING The enabling/disabling of the alarm is independent for each alarm and local to the equipment
which the operation is executed for. This means that the setting must be executed for each single alarm
of each single equipment.

Enabling/disabling the forwarding of the alarm traps

The trap is a message (in this case of detection or clearing of an alarm) spontaneously sent by the equip-
ment to a possible external management system, for example SCT/LMT and/or NMS5UX/NMS5UX-B/
NMS5LX.
The forwarding of the trap of each alarm can be disabled and re-enabled by the user according to his own
needs.
Disabling a trap means that, on the detection of the alarm, this is not registered in the equipment controller
and, as consequence, is not communicated to a possible management program.
On the contrary, enabling a trap (default condition) means that, on the detection of the alarm, this is reg-
istered in the equipment controller and communicated to the management system, which displays it in the
current alarms and the history alarms.

WARNING The enabling/disabling of the forwarding of the trap is independent for each alarm and local to
the equipment which the operation is executed for. This means that the setting must be executed for each
single alarm of each single equipment.

Alarm severity

Each alarm acknowledged and managed by the management program has an associated severity level
which determinates the importance of the alarm.
This severity is not fixed, but can be changed by the user as he likes.

 User list (info)

The users list is a list of users that can be connected and ask for the login to the equipment.
If a user is not present in the users list memorized in the equipment controller, this user will not be able
to connect and/or to execute the login to that equipment.
Each equipment, that can be managed by the WEB LCT or SCT/LMT application, is equipped with two preset
users:
SYSTEM. User of the WEB LCT application or SCT/LMT program with the following features:
User name: System (unchangeable parameter).
Timeout: No Timeout (changeable parameter).
Profile: System (unchangeable parameter).
Password: Siaemicr (default) (changeable parameter - see Change the password and the
timeout of the System user).
The System user is single one for every equipment and he can not be deleted.
The user with System profile can create, modify and delete users in the user list; check the param-
eters (reading operation), send commands or modify the equipment configuration (writing opera-
tion).
NMS5UX. User of the NMS5UX/NMS5UX-B/NMS5LX system, with the following features:
User name: NMS5UX (unchangeable parameter).
Timeout: No Timeout (changeable parameter).
Profile: System (unchangeable parameter).
Password: Pre-define (changeable parameter - see Change the password and the timeout of
NMS5UX user).
The NMS5UX user can not be deleted.
More information about the NMS5UX/NMS5UX-B/NMS5LX system is reported in the relevant docu-
mentation.

In every user list, up to 12 different users can be created besides the predefined users (see Add a user to
the list); the user configuration can be modified (see Modify a user into the list) and deleted (see Delete a
user from the list).

Priority of the synchronism source
Forcing of a synchronism source
Function of preferential synchronism source
Internal synchronism T0

Management of synchronisation

ALFOplus80 equipment can be configured to operate with synchronisation enabled or disabled.

When the synchronisation is disable, the synchronisation is not managed: the clocks are generated by the
local internal reference.
When the synchronisation is enabled, the synchronism source, enabled with the highest priority, is used
to synchronise the equipment (if a forcing or a preferential is not active).
The user can enable or disable the management of synchronisation as he wishes (see Synchronisation).

Synchronism sources

The equipment has more synchronism sources.

TE LAN-1. Source extracted from the LAN 1 of Ethernet Switch (electrical or optical interface).
TE LAN-2. Source extracted from the LAN 2 of Ethernet Switch (electrical interface).
T2 Radio. Source extracted from the Radio 1A.
Internal. Source extracted from an its own internal reference (12,8MHz STRATUM 3).

WARNING If the TE LAN-1 and TE LAN-2 sources are not available, this means that the SyncE functionality
is not enabled for the equipment (see Verify the functionalities enabled for the equipment).

Enabling of the synchronism sources

A synchronism source, in order to be used, must be enabled by the user (see Enable/disable the use of a
synchronism source).

Priority of the synchronism source

A priority level can be associated to every synchronism source (see Modify the use priority of a synchronism
source).

The source with the highest priority level and whose signal is valid, is used to synchronize the equipment
(if a forcing or a preferential source is not active).

The priority level of the synchronism source is pointed out by a number between 1 and 9, where 1 indicates
the highest priority and 9 the lowest one.

Generally the equipment takes the synchronism from the source with the highest priority level: if this
source is missing or is degraded, the synchronism is taken from the source with priority level immediately
lower.

102 WEB LCT ALFOplus80 - Release 1.2 - MN.00286.E - 003

 When the source with highest priority level returns to be valid, the equipment after the WTR time will au-
tomatically start to use it to take the synchronism. If all the synchronism sources (set by the user) become
unavailable, the equipment automatically takes the synchronism from its own internal reference.

The degradation of the signal is caused by the presence of, at least, one of the following conditions:
• The source is not physically present.
• The difference between the source frequency and the internal reference source (STRATUM 3) is
greater than ± 7 ppm.

If two or more sources with the same priority are activated, these sources will be inserted into a circular
and not Revertive list.

Forcing of a synchronism source

This function foresees the user can force the selection of one synchronism source (see Force the use of a
synchronism source).

This forcing is made without considering the status and the priority of the source.

This function must not be used for the normal operation of the synchronism. It is a maintenance operation
and remains active until the user disables it or the Timeout period of the manual operations expires (if set).

Function of preferential synchronism source

This function foresees the choice of a source to use as preferential among those enabled (see Set a syn-
chronism source as preferential).
When the function of preferential source is not active, the internal synchronism is taken from the enabled
source with highest priority.

When the function of preferential source is activated for a source, this source will be used (in absence of
alarms causing its degradation or forced sources) to take the internal synchronism independently from its
priority level.

This condition is maintained until when the user disables the function of preferential source or the source
signal becomes degraded.

Internal synchronism T0

The synchronism source, which the internal synchronism T0 is extracted from, is determined by the SETS
of the equipment according to the following order of criteria:
• Status of the source (enabled/disabled)
• Forcing of the source
• Status of the signal (valid/degraded)
• Preferential source
• Source priority

The internal synchronism T0 can assume one of the following statuses:

• Free Running. The status of Free Running is forced (synchronism T0 is generated by the equip-
ment internal reference - Internal Source).
• Hold Over. The status of Hold Over is forced.
• Locked. The synchronism is locked to an external source.

The user can force the status of the internal synchronism T0 (see Force the status of T0 synchronisation).
The forcing of the status Hold Over or Free Running is not the normal operation of the synchronism T0.
These forcings are maintenance operations and remain active until when the user does not disable them
or the Timeout period of the manual operation expires (if set).

ue, is pointed out in the column:

WEB LCT ALFOplus80 - Release 1.2 - MN.00286.E - 003 107

 • Value. The value expressed in binary digits.
• Precedence, Delay, Throug., Reliab., DSCP. For the description of the parameter present in these
columns refer to RFC 2474, 2597 and 2598 (Request For Comments).
• Internal Priority (Queue). The queue which the packet in input to the specific port, whose PTOS/
DSCP has the value displayed in the row, is assigned to is displayed:
• Queue 0. Output queue with 0 priority (low priority).
• Queue 1. Output queue with 1 priority.
• Queue 2. Output queue with 2 priority.
• Queue 3. Output queue with 3 priority (high priority).

The List Filter parameter allows to activate the filters to the list of value. If set the option:
• View All. The list displays all the values.
• View Queue 0. The list displays only the values associated to the 0 output queue.
• View Queue 1. The list displays only the values associated to the 1 output queue.
• View Queue 2. The list displays only the values associated to the 2 output queue.
• View Queue 3. The list displays only the values associated to the 3 output queue.
To modify the displaying of the list, select the wished values.

The Filter parameter allows to set the IP format which the DSCP field refers to:
• IP v4 DSCP. The DSCP column is meaningful for traffic incoming in the Switch in the IPv4 format.
• IP v6 DSCP. The DSCP column is meaningful for traffic incoming in the Switch in the IPv6 format.

3. To modify the output queue, which a PTOS/DSCP value is associated to, select, in the Filter box, the IP
format which the DSCP field refers to.

User Profile | Station Operator, System

1. Select Base Band > Ethernet Switch.

2. Select the Virtual Lan Config. tab.

3. Press Add.
4. Type, in VLan ID box, the identifier (within 2 and 4094) you wish to assign to the virtual LAN.
The parameter cannot be modified later.

5. If you wish to create more VLAN’s at the same time, type in the End Block box the identifier of the last
VLAN of the group (between 2 and 4094).
The value of End Block must be greater than the value of VLan ID and no VLAN with identifier within
the range End Block - VLan ID must be present in the list.
The system creates a number of VLAN’s (and inserts the relevant rows in the table) equal to the differ-
ence between the values of the parameters End Block and VLan ID, with identifiers in progression from
the lowest to the higher value, and automatically assigns the relevant Label using the format <Label>
<identifier>.
All the VLANs created at the same time get the same policy regarding the transit of packets through
the ports of the Ethernet switch.
6. Type, in Label box, the name (alphanumeric string up to 20 characters) you wish to assign to the virtual
LAN.
The system automatically suggest, as name of the virtual Lan, Vlan <identifier>. This name can be
changed as you wish.

7. In the box relevant to each external port (Lan 1, Lan 2) and internal port (Port A), select the option:
• Disable, not to enable the port for the transit of the packets with VLan ID equal to that of the
virtual Lan.
• Tagged, to enable the port to the transit of the packets with VLan ID equal to that of the virtual
Lan. To the packets without Tag, in output from this port, is automatically added the Tag com-
posed by the information:
• Of priority; the value is defined in the Priority box of the origin port of the packet itself.
• Of Vlan ID which corresponds to the default Vlan ID (Default Vid box) of the origin port
of the packet.
The Vlan Table can be used, in case of traffic without Tag, only if the default Vlan ID of the input
port is contained as routing row in the table itself. If this condition is not satisfied, the Vlan Table
is not meaningful for all the traffic without Tag.
• Untag., to enable the port to the transit of the packets with VLan ID equal to that of the virtual
Lan. The tag 802.1Q (information of priority and VLAN identifier) is removed to the packets in
output from the port.
• Unmodif., to enable the port to the transit of the packets with VLan ID equal to that of the virtual
Lan. The tag 802.1Q (priority and VLAN identifier) are not removed or added to the packets in
output from the port.
In order to create the VLAN, the transit of the packets must be enabled at least for one port (a value
different from Disable is set).

8. Press Apply and confirm.

The Virtual Lan Config. tab displays the row relevant to the new virtual Lan.
If the displayed message is:

Addition of S-TAG (QinQ – Double Tag) in a packet with C-TAG

This functionality allows adding a second TAG (S-TAG) in output to an already tagged packet in input, on
the basis of the values of the port in input.
Necessary conditions are:
• The input/radio ports of the local switch are configured in Fallback and the output ports of re-
mote switch in Fallback (Provider Enable).
• In VLAN table, a VLAN is configured equal to the parameter Default Vid of the port in input, de-
fined as Unmodified for the input port and Tagged for the port in output.
The S-TAG added to the packet in output from the switch will be composed by:
• Ethernet Type defined in Ethernet Switch QinQ Eth type (default 0x9100)
• Default VID of the input port which the packet comes from.
• Default Pbit of the input port which the packet comes from, if 802.1p is disabled
• Origin Pbit (possibly re-mapped) of the packet in input if 802.1p is enabled (or remapping is
enable)
Notes:
• When the Switch works at S-TAG level, C-TAG is left unchanged.

Analysing the priority

The equipment allows analysing the priority at level 2, according to the standard 802.1p (values 0…7), or
at level 3 (PTOS/DSCP field).

WEB LCT ALFOplus80 - Release 1.2 - MN.00286.E - 003 117

 If the analysis of the priority at level 2 is active and prioritary, a packet in input from any Ethernet port of
the equipment, with a valid Tag value of priority 802.1p, will be automatically assigned to one of the four
queues of the output port, according to what pointed out in the table 802.1p Priority Management.

If the analysis of the priority at level 3 is active and prioritary, the field PTOS/DSCP present in the heading
of the IP packets (values 0÷63) will be considered.

The priority standard can be modified by the user and is common to all the Ethernet ports.

MAC Table

The MAC Table is a table created by the Ethernet Switch to keep trace of the reachability of the equipment
present in the network.
For the editing of the MAC Table, the Switch uses the MAC address (source) of the packets in input and the
number of the port through which a packet enters in the Switch as information source.
The source MAC of a packet in input to the Switch is subjected to Learning operation and possibly registered
in MAC Table.
The destination MAC of a packet in input to the Switch is subjected to search operation. If it is found in
MAC Table as source MAC of another user, the port associated to it is used as destination of the considered
traffic.
If the destination MAC Address is not present in the MAC Table, the Switch transmits the frame on all its
own interfaces, excluding only that where the frame itself has been received.
A MAC address stored in the table is automatically deleted from the table itself if not used within a given
time period (Aging Time).

The address learning in MAC Table is usually automatic.

ALFOplus80 equipment allow enabling/disabling the learning of Source MAC Addresses according to differ-
ent criteria select able by the user:

1.Automatic learning on a single MAC Table.

2.Automatic learning on different MAC Tables indicized by:
a. Native VID of a VLAN 802.1Q, if the input port is in Fallback or Secure and the considered VLAN
is registered in VLAN Table Unit (VTU).
b. Port default VID, if the incoming traffic is Untagged or, if tagged, the option 802.1Q is disabled
on the considered port or if the native VID of the incoming traffic is NOT registered in VTU. In
practice, in this condition the partition of MAC Table is made on port basis.
3.Learning disabled; in this condition MAC Table is not used.

The learning on VID basis is common to all the ports and the option is select able at global level.
The learning on port basis can be selected independently for every different LAN.
The automatic learning on a single MAC Table and the possible disabling of Learning can be selected on the
single LANs (LAN) and internal port (Radio).
If options a. and b. are selected at the same time, option a. has priority.

By means of the application, it is possible:

• Delete the content of the MAC Table on the equipment.
• Define the validity period of the addresses stored in the MAC Table of the equipment (parameter
MAC Addr. Aging Time).
• Define if the learning of the Source Addresses must be made on a common MAC Table or on
specific partitions for every single VID registered in VLAN Table Unit (VTU) (parameter MAC
Learning Vid basis).
• Enable/disable the automatic learning of MAC Address within the VTU for every single port of
the Ethernet Switch and, if enabled, to define if this learning must be made on a single MAC
Table common to the whole Switch or on a partition specific for the port (parameter MAC Learn-
ing).

 Implementation of the RMon standard in the equipment managed by WEB LCT

ALFOplus80 equipment implements the RMon standard with the modalities described here below:
RMon Standard
Outline on the operation of RMon standard
Management from Web LCT of the statistics counters foreseen by RMON standard
Ethernet counters (RMon)

RMon Standard

RMon (Remote Monitoring) is a standard whose function is providing a set of services of statistics count,
monitoring and alarm report with reference to the activity of a LAN network.
These services are defined in terms of MIB (Management Information Base) group described in the docu-
ment RFC2819 - Remote Network Monitoring Management Information Base, which must be read for any
further detail.

Outline on the operation of RMon standard

The RMon standard is based on two components: an agent (RMon probe) and a client (remote management
station).
The agent saves the data within its own RMon tables present on the network devices (equipment, routers,
etc.). The RMon probes can see only the traffic flowing through themselves and therefore are located on
each (internal/external) port of the Ethernet Switch of the device to monitor.
The remote management station communicates with the RMon agent to obtain and correlate the RMon da-
ta. Generally, the station is equipped with an interface (graphic or textual) which allows the display and
the analysis of the collected RMon data.

Management from Web LCT of the statistics counters foreseen by RMON standard

With reference to what depicted in the previous paragraph, the RMon functionality allows the analysis of
the data collected by the probes present on each (internal/external) port of the Ethernet Switch of the
equipment in compliance with the RMon standard (RMon MIB group: History).
In order to store in the equipment and display the statistics history of a port, it is necessary to activate the
measure on the port (see Activate the collection of the statistic counters for an Ethernet port). The collec-
tion of the statistic counters on this port will remain active until when an user (WEB LCT or SCT/LMT) does
not deactivate it (see Deactivate the collection of the statistic counters for an Ethernet port).
Once the measure is activated, the probes collect the statistic data, which are stored in the RMon table of
the equipment. The storing takes place each 60 seconds (sampling range).
The equipment stores these data into a rotation buffer where, when full, the new information overwrites
the old ones (value set to 240 samples which allow storing 4 hours in the equipment).
The data relevant to the statistics are available to the user and displayed, in form of table, subdivided by
single Ethernet port (see Display the values of statistical counters of an Ethernet port).
WEB LCT displays the history of the last two hours with intervals of 1 minute.
During the count, the display of the data in the Remote Monitoring <porta Ethernet> window can be inter-
rupted. This operation does not interrupt the count, but freezes only the data present in the window. In
fact, when the data update is re-activated, the window displays the values of all the sampling ranges (up
to a maximum of 120), even those stored in the equipment while the window was freezed.

166 WEB LCT ALFOplus80 - Release 1.2 - MN.00286.E - 003

 Ethernet counters (RMon)

The description of the counters is the same reported for the counters of the packets/bytes in input/output
from an Ethernet port (see Lan Statistics).
The only difference is the name of the counter which, in some cases, change from the RMon counters with
respect to the Lan Statistics counters.
Ethernet counters denomination (RMon) reports the correspondence of the names for the Ethernet RMon
counters.

The counter Utilization is meaningful only as RMon counter and has the following definition: estimate of
the average utilization of the port in the sampling interval expressed as hundredths of percentage.

The percentage of usage of the radio port refers to the bit rate of the port at the Switch (1Gbit/s) and not
to the available radio band.

The percentage of usage of the LANs instead refers to the real bit rate of the port (10Mbit/s, 100Mbit/s or
1Gbit/s).
