TN-MS EC-1 Element Controller Release 13.1

The TN-MS EC-1 Element Controller (EC-1) is a complete network
management application software package, operating at the Element Manager
level of the network management hierarchy. The system can be run on a single
Hewlett Packard workstation, and provides all the facilities needed for the
flexible management of synchronous digital networks based on a number of
Nortel Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) multiplexers:
TN-1X and TN-1X/S (Release 7 and 8).
TN-1C (Release 1 onwards).

TN-1P (Release 2 onwards).
TN-4XE (Release 1 and Release 2.x).
TN-MS EC-1 Release 13.1 allows concurrent access by more than one user.
Each user is presented with a graphical user interface at their display terminal.
The display terminal can be the console of the TN-MS EC-1 Release 13.1
platform itself, or an X-terminal (serviced by the TN-MS EC-1 Release 13.1
platform).
TN-MS EC-1 can be configured to maintain a copy of its configuration on a
second workstation. This standby workstation (either Hot or Warm) can take
over in the event of a failure of the active workstation.
ATTENTION
If a Hot or Warm standby workstation is used to protect the EC-1 platform,
this standby platform must be installed before the EC-1 platform is installed.
On completion of the installation, the system is ready to be configured using
the TN-MS EC-1 Element Controller User Procedures handbook (see
Associated documents on page x).
Note: The TN-MS EC-1 system licence for a single user can be increased
to a multi-user system licence. Please contact Nortel Customer Service
Desk, see Technical support and information on page xi.

Introduction 1-5
Note: The above hardware was used as standard for Releases 5.1 and 6 of
the TN-MS EC-1 and it is recommended that for Release 13.1 the platform
is upgraded to a B132L or B132L+ platform. However, if the 715/100 is to
be used, an additional CD-ROM drive is required during the installation of
TN-MS EC-1 (PEC code NTQJ07FA). Operating system HP-UX 10.20
(NTQJ01EB) is also required.
Ethernet cards
A second Ethernet card is required on the EC-1 workstation for connecting an
NRM/INM, or to support Hot and Warm standby functionality. The HP B132L
and B132L+ platforms are delivered with such a card installed, but on the
715/100 platform, this must be added. This card can be either of the following:
10BaseT Card (HP25567B + OPT840). This card is used to connect the
second port to the hub unit via RJ45 connectors.
Thick LAN card (HP25567B + OPT740). This card is used to connect the
second port to the thick LAN. If there is a requirement to connect the port
to 10BaseT hub unit, transceiver HP A2671A is inserted in the line.
Examples are given in Figure 2-5 and Figure 2-6. For further information
contact Technical support and information.
Printers
The printer is used to enable printouts from the system. It can be connected
either via the parallel port on the system unit, or as a network printer (see
Appendix A: Installing a printer). The general specification for the printer is
given below:
Parallel Centronics Interface.
4 Mbytes RAM.
Postscript support.
Reconfiguring the printer

The EC-1 writes to the printer in ASCII mode, rather than in PostScript mode
or any proprietary mode. As such, it is dependent on the default printer
configuration. Long lines of text may be truncated, depending on these
settings.
To avoid losing information when using the printer, switch the printers
settings so that it uses either condensed mode or landscape mode. The printer
is reconfigured by changing its settings within UNIX. These are stored in a
file within the /usr/spool/lp/model directory. Consult your printers
documentation to determine which file is used.
1-6 Introduction
For example, on a LaserJet printer:
To switch the printer to use condensed mode, locate a line that reads:
pitch="def"
Change this line to read:

pitch="c"
To switch the printer to use landscape mode, locate a line that reads:
orientation="def"
Change this line to read:

orientation="landscape"
For other printers, consult your manufacturers user documentation.

Uninterruptable Power Supply Unit (optional)
An Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) is an optional unit that can be used
to prevent many of the problems associated with the loss of a.c. mains power.
The UPS provides a warning of the failure, and time to enable the System
Engineer to perform backup of files on the TN-MS EC-1 Release 13.1
system.
During normal operations, the a.c. supply is routed through the UPS. Socket
outlets on the UPS provide the a.c. supply for the colour monitor and system
unit. The remaining units for the TN-MS EC-1 System are powered from the
normal a.c. supply.
The a.c supply also operates a battery charger in the UPS to keep a set of
batteries in a fully charged condition. These batteries are used with an inverter
to provide a backup 220/240 V a.c. supply. If there is an a.c. mains supply
failure a warning light is illuminated on the UPS and the 220/240V a.c.
backup supply is provided to the colour monitor and system unit for at least
15 minutes.

Remove the tape from the DAT drive.
Repeat stages 2 to 6 for other load images, if required.

end
Changing the default RCA directory

This section describes how to change the default backup directory for the
Remote Central Archive (RCA) operations.
Note 1: All Warm standby platforms contain a remote central archive.
Independent platforms that do not use EC-1 software can also contain a
remote central archive.
Note 2: Only change this file if an RCA is in use, and its default directory
is not correct.
The default directory on the RCA is:
/home/sdhmsusr/sdhms/data/backup/<IP address>/RCA_Dir
This may be changed by editing the following file:

/home/sdhmsusr/sdhms/lib/config.conf
The following line defines the leader element of the default address. That is,
the part of the address that is before the <IP address>. Change this line to
change this element of the address.
BACKUP_PATH_LEADER <leader>
The following line defines the trailer element of the default address. That is,
the part of the address that is after the <IP address>. Change this line to
change this element of the address.
BACKUP_RCA_TRAILER <trailer>
Note: The <IP address> element of the directory structure is mandatory.

For example, to backup to the directory /ec1/<ip_address>/backup, change
the config.conf file as follows:
BACKUP_PATH_LEADER /ec1
BACKUP_RCA_TRAILER backup
Configuring remote central archive schedule

The time at which information is sent to the remote central archive can be
configured. To do this, perform Procedure 5-5.
Procedure 5-5
Configuring remote central archive schedule
Step
Action
Login as System Engineer from the VUE login banner.
Login to TN-MS as System Engineer and select the UNIX Window from the
Main Menu.
Within the Unix window, run the following command:

crontab -e
This provides the user with a 'vi' editor window, containing the current cron
settings.
Move the cursor down to the line containing:

/home/sdhmsusr/sdhms/bin/remote_arch
In this line, the first two fields identify the minutes and hours at which the
command should be executed. The default entries are "30 6", which refers to
06:30. Archives may be taken at any time during the day, or at a number of
times during the day. For example, replacing the first 2 fields with "0 *" will
cause an archive to be taken every hour, on the hour. Also "0 0,6,12,18" will
cause an archive to be performed every 6 hours (at midnight, 06:00, 12:00,
and 18:00).
More information can be obtained by typing the following from a Unix window:
man crontab
If you need further information on what the fields should be set to for your own
requirements, contact Nortel Support.
To configure the archive time, change the first two fields:

a. Ensure the cursor is at the left most position, on the correct line.
b. Press 'x' to delete the first two fields character by character. Ensure you
delete only the first two fields.
c. Press 'i' to insert, then type the required values for the first two fields.
Ensure they are separated by a space, and do not enter more than two
fields. Also, ensure there is a space after the second field.
d. If the file is correct, press 'Escape', then ':wq' to exit and save the new file.
If the file is incorrect, press 'Escape' then ':q!' to abort the operation, and
leave the file unchanged.

General Information
TN-MS EC-1 Release 13.1 allows concurrent access by more than one user.
Each user is presented with a graphical user interface at their display terminal.
The display terminal can be an X-terminal (serviced by a TN-MS EC-1
platform) or the console of the TN-MS EC-1 Release 13.1 platform.
To enable the X-terminal access, the TN-MS EC-1 Release 13.1 X-terminal
interface software must be loaded on the TN-MS EC-1 Release 13.1 platform.
This section details the procedure for the following:
Installing the X-terminals on initial installation of the TN-MS EC-1.
Adding X-terminals on the TN-MS EC-1.
X-Terminals
An X-terminal allows a user to login to the TN-MS EC-1 platform, and access
the TN-MS EC-1 software, using the X-Windows system. All the software
runs on the TN-MS EC-1 platform, the X-terminal simply provides a display
terminal, mouse, and keyboard.
For an X-terminal to operate it must have its own specialized software
running at the terminal. This software is downloaded from the TN-MS EC-1
platform whenever the X-terminal is switched on.

enables a user of a higher duty class to force a user of a lower duty class to
logout.
Idle logout - This enables the Management system to logout users if they
have not used the system for a predetermined time.
There are two read-only files used to indicate the Forced and Idle Logout
timeouts available to the duty classes. Each of these files contain an entry for
each duty class. The values are the total number of seconds idle time after
which the user is logged out.
Note: If these files do not exist, then auto-logout will be inoperative for all
duty classes. If entries for specific duty classes in the file are absent, then
auto-logout will be inoperative for those duty classes.
CAUTION
Auto-logout times
It is recommended that the System Administrator is consulted

prior to any change to the default values.
Setting forced logout times

The ranges for the various duty classes can be configured by modifying the
auto-logout times file multi-user.conf in the /home/sdhmsusr/sdhms/lib
directory. Forced logouts have the following default ranges:
System Engineer - 0 to 1500 secs.

System Administrator - 100 to 500 secs.
Configuration Manager - 200 to 500 secs.

Status Manager - 300 to 500 secs.
Setting idle logout times

The various duty classes can be configured by modifying the auto-logout
times file auto-logout.conf in the /home/sdhmsusr/sdhms/lib directory.
Idle logouts have the following default times:
System Engineer - 1200 secs.
System Administrator - 1200 secs.

Configuration Manager - 3600 secs.
Status Manager - 4320 secs.

Troubleshooting hints
8-
This chapter provides solutions for a number of operational problems.
The TN-MS EC-1 fails to start after installation

If the HP platform, on boot-up, detects that no connection exists, the platform
fails to start and does not initiate all the network system functions. Look at the
gmp_init.log file, the message below is observed:
gmp_init: Tue June 13 15:05:55
REBOOT: Init MAC fails
This message could be due to:

No Ethernet cable connected to LAN0.
Permissions on some of the programs in sdhms/bin need to be set so that

they have root privileges.
No Ethernet cable connected to LAN0

To check if there is an Ethernet connection perform the procedure below:
Procedure 8-1

is connected then check Programs require root privileges (see Procedure
8-2).
If the programs have root privileges then call the HP Service engineer.
end
Communication failure
In the event of a communications failure, follow the procedure below.
Procedure 8-2
TN-MS EC-1 communications failure
Step
Action
Login as root on the platform by typing:

root
<password>
To check communication between managers and X-terminals, type:

/etc/ping <IPaddress>
The <IPaddress> is the address of the equipment the user requires to check
communication with. If this fails on the TN-MS EC-1 carry out the step below:
Check the cable connections between the appropriate equipment. See

Figures 2-4, 2-5 or 2-6 as a guide.
end
Troubleshooting hints 8-3
X-terminal failure
In the event of an X-terminal failure, follow one of the procedures below.
X-terminal is not correctly defined
If an X-terminal access fails on TN-MS EC-1 check that the X-terminal is
correctly defined in the /etc/hosts file of TN-MS EC-1. To perform this
carry out the procedure below:
Procedure 8-3
Checking the Host file
Step
Action

root
<password>

vi /etc/hosts
Check that the X-terminal is correctly defined in the file as:
<IP address X-terminal><name of X-terminal>
If not, correct, save the file and quit by typing:
[shift]:wq!
end
X-terminal does not generate the login banner

If on bootup of an X-terminal, the X-terminal appears to obtain its fonts
successfully, but does not generate the login banner under XDMCP+ direct
setting, check that the Host address is correct by performing the procedure
below:
Procedure 8-4
Checking the Host Address
Step
Action

root
<password>
Check that the IP address of the platform is correct. To do this type:

hostname
Make a note of the hostname: ____________________.
Type:
/etc/ifconfig lan1
A message like the one below is output:
lan0:flags=63<UP,Broadcast,NOTRAILERS, RUNNING>
inet 1.2.3.4 netmask fffff000 broadcast 1.2.3.255
The IP address that the platform is using is the one following inet. Compare
this address with the one displayed on the X-terminal as the Host IP address.
In the example the IP address is 1.2.3.4. The IP address in step 2 must be
the same as the IP address in step 3. If the IP addresses are not the same
ask your System Administrator to correct it.
end
