Operation
1 Introduction to Fibcom 6300 Manager
Overview Fibcom 6300 manager is a complete element manager and network manager,
which allows you to survey both equipment and traffic, to set up and recon-
figure end-to-end connections, to manage equipment, and to collect perfor-
mance data for the traffic.
Alarm indication and Alarms received from the equipment are indicated in the GUI by color chang-
presentation es of the NE icons and displaying exclamation mark "!" beside NE icon. The
color of the NE icon is determined by the severity of the alarm. The change of
color happens in every domain and window where the network elements
icon is shown.The exclamation mark reflects the DCN alarm in NE, i.e. the NE
is unreachable.
If an alarm affects traffic in the network, alarms are generated for the end-to-
end connections (trails). The trail is indicated with the alarm severity color in
the main window for trail management (the Find Trail window) as well as with
a sequence of colored triangels along the link in the Network Management win-
dow. In case of more alarms in a group link, the color indicating the most se-
vere alarm,as configured on the server trail, is displayed, while a mouse-over
shows the alarm state of all links. For more information about configuring
alarm on server trail, see [7].The three alarm indications in Network Manage-
ment window - background color change of Ne icon, exclamation mark and
colored triangles along the link can appear in any combination at the same
time or either of the three.
Note: The alarms colors in NWM GUI are updated four times in a minute.
TeMIPs alarm handling windows are used to show the detailed information
about each alarm. The information includes such data as the probable cause of
the alarm, the name of the object that generated the alarm, when the alarm
was generated, and when it was received by Fibcom 6300 manager.
Element management Configuration and management of individual network elements is performed

in a number of sub windows, each window dedicated to a specific task (for ex-
ample, cross connections, module specification, and synchronization).
Traffic management End-to-end connections (trails) are set up in the GUI in one simple operation,
where you select the two end points and then specify the trails parameters
(parameters such as protection, signal structure, customer, and subroutes).
Fibcom 6300 manager has very powerful trail management features for setting
up and configuring traffic.
The network traffic management is based on a powerful network model con-
cept. The model is not concerned with the specific attributes of the network el-
ements, but mainly represents the networks end-to-end connections (trails)
and capacity at the different bandwidth layers. Each network element is rep-
resented by a matrix that contains information about termination points and
internal connections. The model also registers the time slots (link connections)
between the network elements that are used by the trails.
Network editing The network view is created and edited in a network editor GUI, in which you
can create new network objects and drag-and-drop them to their position in
the domain.

Fibcom 6300 Network Manager 1 Introduction to Fibcom 6300 Manager
Operation
Timing view Fibcom 6300 manager provides a graphical view of the clock distribution and
synchronization between network elements in the network.
The information provided by timing view can be used to discover timing
loops and to improve the topology of the network.
Performance monitoring The collection of performance data can be used to monitor and document the
quality of supplied services.
All kinds of performance data can be collected, including the standard SDH
performance counters supported in the managed SDH network elements (fol-
lowing the ITU G.826 standard). The performance data is represented in re-
port form by a performance report generator.
The performance data can be correlated from the network elements to the
trails. The periodic performance management reports are generated per net-
work element or per trail.

2 Representation of Your Network
Overview This topic describes how the equipment in your network is represented in the
Fibcom 6300 manager windows.
2.1 Introduction on page 15
2.2 The Network Entities on page 17
2.1 Introduction
Network representation The figure shows an example of a network representation in the main window
of the Fibcom 6300 managers graphical user interface. This is the window in
which the managed equipment is represented and operated on, and from
which the main functions of the system are initiated.
Different levels of detail The network representation as such is shown at different levels of detail. The
main window of Fibcom 6300 manager shows the topology of the network
(that is, which elements the network consists of, how the elements are con-
nected, and how they have been grouped in domains). Other windows show
the details of the individual elements (for example, the contents of a specific
network element (NE)). This allows operations - for instance inspection and
configuration - to be performed on the whole network or on parts of it.
6300_MAF_266 Rev. I1 15
Operation
How the managed The different types of equipment in a network are represented in the follow-
equipment is ing way:
represented
Network elements
In Fibcom 6300 manager the network elements (NEs) are represented by
NE objects and NE matrix objects. (The NE matrix objects are relevant in
connection with trail management, and with one matrix representation per
network traffic layer). However, to make a clear distinction between the
physical NEs and their representation in the network model, the term "NE"
always refers to the physical network element and the term "NE matrix" is
used in general for any NE representation, even when the representation
"only" consists of element management. Via an NE matrix you can there-
fore access and manage both the physical NE itself and the corresponding
network database representation.
Cables
Cables are represented by links.
Cable interconnections
Interconnections between fibres from different cables (that is, manholes or
distribution frames) are represented by fibre matrices at the physical layer.
"Foreign" equipment
Equipment which is not managed directly in the current network model,
but which is connected to elements inside the managed network (and
thereby is part of the trails in the managed network), is represented by ex-
ternal matrices.
Entities and child entities The elements of a network representation are often referred to by the general
terms entities andchild entities.
The parts constituting an entity, such as the traffic aspects of the channels of
an NE, are referred to as child entities. Child entities cannot exist alone but
are always bound together with the entity of which they are parts. For in-
stance, it would be meaningless to represent the traffic aspect of an aggregate
VC-4 channel detached from an NE.
Note: When an entity is not a child entity, it is sometimes called a global en-
tity to explicitly distinguish it from child entities.
Logical grouping in a Fibcom 6300 manager has been designed to manage transmission networks of
domain hierarchy major geographical areas. Thousands of NEs - that is multiplexers, cross con-
nects, and regenerators - may be controlled and monitored by the system.
The elements of the network representation can therefore be grouped in a log-
ical, hierarchical structure in so-called domains. A domain can, for example,
represent a geographical area and contain all equipment placed in that area.
We recommend that you create a hierarchy of domains and subdomains.
You can easily inspect the contents of a specific domain by opening the do-
main. You open the top domain either by selecting it in the Domain: field or
via the domain browser. You open a subdomain by double-clicking on the
icon representing it.

Operation
2.2 The Network Entities
Domains representing To be able to represent the different aspects of the network in management of
traffic layers the traffic, the network model is organised according to the individual net-
work traffic layers (physical, OTS, OMS, OCH, OTN, RS, MS, VC-4, VC-3, VC-
12 and data). Each of these traffic layer domains contains representations of
the relevant parts of the network (that is, those parts of the network that carry
traffic at that layer).
The basis for each layer is a so-called layer network domain (LND), which
contains the definition of all network entities at that particular layer.
NEs and NE matrices The NE matrix contains connection termination points (CTPs), trail termina-
tion points (TTPs) and matrix connections (MCs) based on the corresponding
termination points and the connections between these in the NE. The relevant
information is uploaded from the physical network element to the NE matrix
at the current layer.
If an NE does not have a corresponding NE matrix, the NE itself is shown in
the graphical user interface. In that case, there is no access to NE matrix man-
agement.
6300_MAF_266 Rev. I1 17
Operation
Fibre matrices The fibre matrix contains matrix connections that model the inflexible inter-
connections between pairs of link connections ("fibres") in the links ("cables")
terminating in the fibre matrix. The fibre matrix is therefore always inflexible.
The fibre matrix does not contain all of the subparts of an NE matrix described
in NEs and NE matrices on page 17. There are no trail termination points in
a fibre matrix, as there is no termination of traffic in a fibre interconnection.
The subparts in a fibre matrix must be defined manually since the fibre matrix
is not a manageable object.
Note: Because fibre matrices represent manholes, they only appear at the
physical layer.
External matrices We distinguish between two types of external matrix: a flexible external matrix
and an inflexible external matrix. The flexible external matrix represents equip-
ment which you do not manage directly as part of the current network, but
which you do, nevertheless, have some control over (for example, one of your
own networks). The inflexible external matrix represents equipment which
you do not have any control over and of which you can therefore only show
the parts that are known to you (for example, specific lines leased from anoth-
er supplier). An inflexible external matrix generally represents a whole sub-
network owned by another supplier.
The model of an external matrix is very similar to an NE matrix and contains
all of the subparts described in NEs and NE matrices on page 17 . The sub-
parts in an external matrix are either defined manually on the physical layer
or are created automatically by the system in connection with the creation of
trails.
Links A link is a bundle of link connections (LCs) which are a set of timeslots trans-
mitted between matrices. LCs representing, for instance, timeslots carried by
sea cables and satellites, could be contained in separate links. In the network
model, all layers except the physical layer require that all LCs in a specific link
are carried by the same server trail.
The links used to supply Ethernet services, are known as "packet links".
External links An external link and its LCs represent an unknown network that connects two
of our networks. Unlike ordinary LCs, external LCs do not have any server
trails and must be created manually.
Trails A trail is a connection between two trail termination points (TTPs). A trail is
the object that carries payload traffic and also can act like a server for link con-
nections (LCs) at another layer.
Attributes of network The features and properties of an entity - such as configuration parameters
entities and idenfication of an NE matrix - are called attributes. Attributes describe the
settings of an entity and its modes and levels of working.
An attribute can be attached either to a global entity or to a child entity - never
to both of them. Attributes attached to a global entity - such as an LND - nor-
mally describe information relating to the entity as a whole (the signal type of
an LND is an example of such an attribute). Attributes attached to a child en-
tity describe details relating to that specific child entity, for instance the direc-
tionality of a matrix connection.
Entity names When you register an entity, it must be given a unique, official name that fol-
lows the naming standards. However, as the official name may not be very

useful for easy identification of the icon in the graphic representation, you can
define a nick name for the entity, which is used only in connection with the
icon.

3 The Main Window
The work environment The figure shows the main window of Fibcom 6300 managers graphical user
for network management interface: the Network Management window. In the Network Management win-
dow the managed equipment is represented and operated on, and the main
functions of the system are initiated. It is from this window that you open all
of the other windows available for configuration of network elements, set-up
of trails, and so on (the network editor can, however, also be activated on its
own).
The Network Management window itself consists of the following areas:

A menu bar, which contains menus for general functionalities: such as
navigation in the domain hierarchy and printing of the currently dis-
played domain.
A toolbar, which provides shortcuts for commonly used menu functions.
Display specification fields, with which you can specify the domain and
the network layer that you want displayed.
The work area which contains the actual graphical display of your net-
work. The pop-up menus available for the various icons allow you to acti-
vate the network management functions.
A status line, which registers the name of the currently selected entity, in-
dicates alarms, and so on.

Alarm indication Alarms received from the equipment are indicated in the GUI by color chang-
es of the NE icons and displaying exclamation mark "!" beside NE icon. The
color of an NE icon reflects the most severe active alarm of the corresponding
NE. The exclamation mark reflects the DCN alarm in NE, i.e. the NE is un-
reachable. If an alarm affects traffic in the network, alarms are generated for
the end-to-end connections (trails). The sequence of colored triangles along
the link in the Network Management window indicate the severe active alarm
of the associated physical or server trail (depending on network layer). In case
of more than one alarm in a group link, the color indicating the most severe
alarm, as configured on the server trail, is displayed. While a mouse-over
shows the alarm state of all links. The three alarm indications in Network Man-
agement window - background color change of Ne icon, exclamation mark

shall utilize the Flag configChangeSinceBackup for changed configuration in
NE by marking in the NE when backup is started and reading before backup-
start if the NE has changed configuration and if not, skip taking backup, but
it would record the time backup is checked to be ok. If the last backup is
marked as failed, the backup will be made independent of the value of the flag
before backup.
Note: The network element will set the flag true when there is a change in the
configuration. The Automatic Backup Module will check this flag be-
fore taking the backup. If the flag is set to be true then backup will be
taken and will not be taken if the flag is set to false.

Consolidated activity log The Consolidated NE Activity log module is an EM-Server part for collecting
Activity logs from the NE and view NE records through 6300NM. The Con-
solidated NE Activity log module is a TeMIP access module. The Activity Log
at NE maintains logs of all the activity done on the NE either from Craft Ter-
minal or management system. The module will support a consolidated view
of the NE Activity logs for the NEs it manages so that the NM user would be
able to see the activities happened in the NE. The module will be able to up-
load the NE Activity log for NEs registered for this at regular intervals and
store the data in the NM2000 database.
The module registers each NE in a group (default or user defined). The upload
will be performed automatically. The module will also provide option of man-
ual upload.

6 Quality of Service and AFC Profiles
Overview Fibcom 6300 manager uses bandwidth profiles and AFC profiles in the man-
agement of Ethernet traffic and quality of service (QoS). The bandwidth pro-
files define a set of bandwidth classes for the individual AFC profile. The fol-
lowing topics describe how to configure bandwidth profiles, AFC profiles and
the other elements used for QoS:

6.1 The Quality of Service Window
Quality of Service The Quality of Service window and its sub-windows are used for defining and
window viewing the parameters specifying the quality of service delivered to the cus-
tomer.
The window contains five tabs. The Bandwidth Classes tab page is preselected
when you open the window.
6300_MAF_266 Rev. I1 67
Operation
6.2 Configuring and Viewing Bandwidth Classes
Bandwidth classes A maximum number of 512 bandwidth classes can be defined. A bandwidth
class consists of an ID, a label, a bandwidth and a burst size. A bandwidth of
the specified size will be guaranteed, but the customer is allowed to send burst
traffic up to the specified burst size. However, traffic sent at a rate which is
higher than the guaranteed bandwidth but still below the burst size, is not
guaranteed.
The bandwidth classes are grouped according to the following types:
Bandwidth Type Description
CIR This type of bandwidth is always available to the

traffic.
PIR This type of bandwidth is only available when

unused bandwidth (not used by CIR) is available.
CIR + PIR This type of bandwidth guarantees a specified

amount of bandwidth. If additional bandwidth is
required, then the available additional band-
width is shared between the traffic using PIR.
Note: Different bandwidth classes are already available by default.

Note: CIR classes are used when Fixed is selected in Queue Scheduling. PIR
classes are used when Free is selected. CIR + PIR classes are used when
both Fixed and Free are selected. See 6.3 Configuring and Viewing
Queue Scheduling on page 72.

6.3 Configuring and Viewing Queue Scheduling
Queue scheduling Queue scheduling defines which class of service each queue in the system
supports. Each type of queue is given one or more type of bandwidth. Fixed
and/or Free. Fixed uses CIR settings and Free uses PIR settings (see Band-
width classes on page 68). The queue is also given a priority value: High, Nor-
mal or Low. These settings determine how the traffic is handled by the band-
width available.
There are by default four different classes.
Class of Service Description
Real Time Committed (fixed), high priority

A real-time traffic class for VoIP and other
traffic that needs a constant flow with very lit-
tle jitter.
Business Data with Burst Committed (fixed) with burst (free), normal
priority
A class for customers who want not only a
guaranteed bandwidth but also to be able to
send bursts of traffic.
Business Data Committed (fixed), normal priority

A class for packet-emulated Ethernet connec-
tion service.
Best Effort Limited (free), normal priority

A low-cost traffic option for customers who
do not need a guaranteed bandwidth.
Warning: We recommend that you do not change the settings for Queue
Scheduling

contains 8 different priorities each associated with a queue number and a drop
precedence level. When you create an LSP that spans several network ele-
ments, the same AFC profile must be selected in all network elements. This
means that the definition of AFC profiles is a network-wide operation and not
a network element specific issue.
The set of default AFC profiles consists of 5 AFC profiles, where 4 of the pro-
files map to only one queue each and therefore have the same names as the
relevant queue (see Queue scheduling on page 72). The last default AFC pro-

6.7 Comparing and Deploying AFC Tables
Overview The behavior of a cross-connection (MC) in an ETEX 2.x or ETEX 3.x module
depends on two tables stored in the NE: the Assured Forwarding Class (AFC)
profiles table and the Queue Scheduling Profile (QSP) table. The QSP table is
predefined in the NE, whereas the AFC table must be defined and then trans-
ferred (deployed) into all new NEs. The following topics describe how to com-
pare and deploy AFC tables:
6.7.1 Comparing the AFC Table with the Table in One or All ETEX 2.x
and ETEX 3.x NEs on page 85
6.7.2 Deploying the AFC Profiles and IP DSCP Mapping into All ETEX
NEs on page 85
Warning: When you are using a specific AFC profiles table in your network,
do not change the profiles but only add new ones. If the priority of
a specific profile is changed, trails using that profile may suddenly
no longer be allowed to carry traffic.
