MANUAL CONTENT
This manual describes the commands and the functionalities of the WEB Local Craft Terminal application
(release 1.2) present in the equipment ALFOplus80HD.
The WEB LCT release present in the equipment can be verified opening the relevant WEB Local Craft Ter-
minal page and selecting Main > Equipment Properties - General Info tab - WEB LCT Version parameter.
In this manual, to make the writing easier, the wording:

• WEB LCT identifies the WEB Local Craft Terminal application for ALFOplus80HD.
• WEB LCT page identifies the WEB Local Craft Terminal page for ALFOplus80HD.

WEB LCT APPLICATION
The WEB LCT application allows a user connecting to 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, the browser displays the WEB Local Craft Terminal (WEB LCT) page that is the
application graphical interface (GUI).
The WEB LCT page can be opened directly from browser (see Open/close the WEB LCT page - Fig.1).
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).

3. Type the name (Username box) and the access code (Password box) of the WEB user to use to activate
the connection and press Login.
In a new page the WEB LCT of the remote equipment is displayed.

Each 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, it is possible to subdivide the equipment
into stations, in such a way that, at the selection of a station, the application will display only the detail of
the equipment associated with such a 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.
Into each remote equipment list, it is possible to create a maximum of 100 equipment and 30 station.
The remote equipment list can be used to connect, at the same time, to more equipment only if the pro-
gram WEB LCT is available.
When the user requests the connection to a generic equipment present into the network (local equipment),
at the connection of such equipment, the WEB LCT program reads its remote equipment list and automat-
ically forwards the connection command to all pieces of equipment present into the list.
In such a way, the application displays, into the Station List area of the WEB LCT window, all the stations
that group the equipment and, into 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 into the list. The equipment that 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 that have not answered
to the connection request, until to:
• It is deactivated the connection with the local equipment.
• The user disables the equipment.
• The equipment is deleted from the remote equipment list of the local equipment.
More information concerning the WEB LCT program are reported into the relevant manuals.

(3) List of the PM measures. The measures are subdivided in groups.

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
activated, the graph and the table will be empty.
The symbol:
identifies an expanded group or measure.
identifies a compressed group or measure.
identifies a measuring unit.
To every measure, the status is displayed:

(Stop.). The measure is not on progress.
(Run.). The measure is on progress.
The group and the relevant measures (group > measure) available are the following:
G828 > Radio 1A, checks the quality of the received signal at radio side.
The results of the control parameters are shown subdivided into the following measuring units:
• seconds. Seconds: ES, SES, SEP, UAS.
• blocks. Blocks: BBE.
RxPwr > Radio 1A, checks the power of the signal at reception.
• Rlts. Seconds: Rlts1, Rlts2, Rlts3, Rlts4, Rlts5.
• TM. dBm: TMMax, TMMin, Average Lev.
TxPwr > Radio 1A, checks the power of the signal at transmission.
• Tlts. Seconds: Tlts1, Tlts2, Tlts3, Tlts4.
• TM. dBm: TMMax, TMMin, Average Lev.
ACM > Radio 1A, traces the trend of the ACM profiles in the time.
The results of the control parameters are shown subdivided into the following counters:
• seconds. Counters relevant to the ACM profiles.
• UpDownShift. Counters DownShift and UpShift.
Press to hide the list of measures. Press to display the list again.
(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. Current daily record (24 hours). The X100 suffix indicates that the value must be mul-
tiplied by 100 to obtain the real measured value.
• L. D. 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).
• 15 Min. ÷ 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.
The results relevant to a given parameter can be hidden selecting the parameter label located in
the top part of the area (for example ). To display the parameter results again, select the
label again.
(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):
• Type. According to the selected measure this field indicates:
• G828 Radio, RxPwr Radio and TxPwr Radio measures: Control parameters (see
PM measures available).
• ACM Radio measure: Counters. One counter is foreseen for every ACM profile (see
PM measures available).
For every counter, the column of the specific observation period indicates (expressed
in seconds) the number of times the counter is increased. The rule used to increased
a counter changes according to the currently active modality (see Policy parameter).
Besides one counter per modulation, the following counters are foreseen:
• DownShift. Number of times the profile, during the specific observation period,
has changed assuming a profile lower than the previous one.
• UpShift. Number of times the profile, during the specific observation period,
has changed assuming a profile higher than the previous one.
Into the table, the system does not point out the results relevant to all the counters. Such
results have been subdivided according to the selected measure/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).
• 15 Min. ÷ 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):
• 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 it detected some per-
formance errors.
If one or more alarms are active (see note 6) means that the counter(s) have 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 and configuration parameters. These fields change
according to the selected measure:
G828 Radio measures

• 15M <control parameter>. Threshold exceeding alarm of the specific control parameter
into one of the primary observation periods (15 minutes) present into the window.

is equal to the one currently active.
• Not Avail. Mod. The counter is increased each second if the corresponding ACM
profile is higher than the current one and lower than or equal to the upper mod-
ulation threshold (Upper Profile).
Example. Suppose the ACM profile 64 QAM has been defined as Upper Profile and the
current modulation is 4 QAM. If the active modality is:
• Active Mod, each second only the counter 4QAM is increased.
• Not Avail. Mod, each second the counters 16QAM, 64QAM are increased.
The colour of the alarm boxes represents the alarm status and severity:
• Red, Orange, Yellow, Light blue. Alarm activated coupled respectively with the Critical,
Major, Minor, Warning severity.
• Grey. Alarm deactivated.

G828 > Radio 1A

RxPwr > Radio 1A
TxPwr > Radio 1A
ACM > 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 > 30% or the second when it has been activated an alarm equivalent to the interruption
of the signal at reception.
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.
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.

the value of the power at transmission (TL - Transmitted Level) is higher than the pre-defined
threshold level. It is possible to define up to a maximum of 4 threshold levels.
The parameters are implemented according to Standard EN 301 129 of the ETSI.
ACM > Radio 1A
WARNING Measure available and meaningful if the adaptive modulation is active.
The Radio 1A measure (ACM group) traces the trend of the ACM profiles (receiver) in the time.
The trend is traced using one counter for each ACM profile and further counters (UpShift and DownShift):
BPSK. Counter relevant to the ACM profile BPSK. The rule used to increase the counter changes
according to the active increase mode*.
4QAM Str. Counter relevant to the ACM profile 4QAM Str. The rule used to increase the counter
changes according to the active increase mode*.
4QAM. Counter relevant to the ACM profile 4QAM. The rule used to increase the counter chang-
es according to the active increase mode*.
16QAM. Counter relevant to the ACM profile 16QAM. The rule used to increase the counter
64QAM. Counter relevant to the ACM profile 64QAM. The rule used to increase the counter
DownShift. Number of times the ACM profile, during the specific observation period, has
changed assuming an ACM profile lower than the previous one.
UpShift. Number of times the ACM profile, during the specific observation period, has changed
assuming an ACM profile higher than the previous one.
* The counters relevant to the ACM profiles can be increased according to the following modes:
• Active Mod. The counter is increased each second if the corresponding ACM profile is equal to
the one currently active.
• No Avail. Mod. The counter is increased each second if the corresponding ACM profile is higher
than the current one and lower than or equal to the upper modulation threshold (Upper Profile).
Example. Suppose the ACM profile 64 QAM has been defined as Upper Profile and the current modulation
is 16 QAM. If the active modality is:
• Active Mod, each second only the counter 4QAM is increased.
• Not Avail. Mod, each second the counters 16QAM, 64QAM are increased.
The mode used to increase the counters of the ACM profiles is common to all the counters and must be
selected by the user.

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 such 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 (eg. G.828, etc.).
The activation (and the deactivation) of the PM measures can be executed by the user.
When it has been activated a PM measure, 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 can not be synchronized with the instant when the measure is activated but such
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 equipment has some PM measures on progress and it is re-started up or turned off, when it will succes-
sively restarted or turned on the measures activated before the turning off will be automatically re-started.
The records (primary and daily), relevant to the period when measure has been stopped, will result empty
and when it has been reached the limit of 16 primary records and 1 daily one, they will overwrite the pre-
ceding records.

Parameter
Status. Transmission status of Wake Up trap. The sending of the Wake Up trap is:
• Active, when the Enable option is selected and a valid value (different from 0.0.0.0)
is set as IP address of the server (option NMS IP Address).
• Inactive, when the Disable option is selected and the value 0.0.0.0 is set as IP ad-
dress of the server (option NMS IP Address).
NMS IP Address. IP address of the server which the Wake Up trap must be sent to. With server
we mean the machine where the supervision system NMS5UX-B or NMS5LX or a different man-
agement system, able to manage the reception of the Wake Up trap, is installed.
Timeout (Minutes). Time interval for which the Wake Up trap, when enabled, is sent to the
server. The setting of the value 0 indicates that the trap is sent until when the user manually
disables it or the NMS server automatically disables it when intercepts it.
NE Location. Optional parameter. The user can insert the physical location (for example the
name of the site) of the equipment in this field. This information is communicated to the remote
manager together with the characteristics of the equipment. The supervision system NMS5UX-
B or NMS5LX does not use this information.

NMS Wake Up Config. (command)

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).
Auto Discovery
This functionality has been implemented as help to the Auto Discovery modality available in the
supervision systems NMS5UX-B and NMS5LX.
The Auto Discovery mode has the purpose to point out new equipment in the network, not man-
aged by the supervision system yet. More information about the Auto Discovery modality is re-
ported in the relevant documentation.
This chapter shows only the management of the Wake Up trap by the equipment. The imple-
mentation of the Wake Up functionality is the following.
WEB LCT
Via WEB LCT 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) 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) as IP address of the server (NMS IP Address option) and select the Enable op-
tion.
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 val-
ue 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).

the WEB LCT version present into the equipment.
Update the software/firmware of the equipment
and the file for the update must be present into a sub-folder of the Shared Folder set during the configu-
ration of FTP Server (see FTP protocol (info).
The application automatically updates the software/firmware of the memory bench not on progress or not
present (Bench Status parameter - Loaded or Not Loaded value).
This operation cannot be executed when the update is already in progress (Download Status parameter -
Downloading value).
The software/firmware update procedure could change the equipment functions.
Download time approximately 8 min. on the LAN.
2. Press Upgrade.
3. In the box Download file path, type the path/name of the file you wish to use for update.
The file must be on the local PC (PC where the browser used for the display of WEB LCT is running).

4. Set, in the FTP Server IP Addr. box, the IP address of the FTP Server (if not differently set at the con-
figuration of FTP Server, it corresponds to IP address of PC).
5. Set the download type to be executed, selecting the option:

• Forced, if you are updating the software/firmware of main controller of the equipment.
• Only difference or not present / peripheral, if you are updating the software/firmware of periph-
eral units (FPGA file and/or application code).
6. Activate the Bench Switch? box, if at the end of the download, the system has automatically to execute
a switching of the memory bench in such a way to use the bench with the software/firmware that has
been updated.
7. Press Start and confirm.

Before executing the updating, the system executes a compatibility check between the file to be for-
warded to the equipment and the one present on the terminal.
The check consists of comparing the technology type of the equipment.
If the parameters are incompatible, the application does not executes the update: the wording Inter-
rupted is displayed in the Download Status box of the bench whose software/firmware you are updat-
ing.
If the parameters are compatible, the operation is started and the Download Status box of the bench
whose software/firmware you are updating dynamically updates the progress of the operation, which
requires some minutes:
• Downloading. The operation is running.
The Abort push-button, present in the Download Status box during the software/firmware up-
date, can be used to stop the operation. Its selection requires the confirmation.
During the updating, the system deletes the software/firmware present into the bench memory
and it updates the software/firmware of the equipment one component at a time.
If the operation is stopped, into the memory bench there will be only the already updated com-
ponents. In this case, the new version can result unusable because it is not an integral one (the
bench will be in Not Loaded status).
In this case, the controller keeps the minimum functions necessary to allow a new updating of
the software/firmware.
• Complete. The update operation is ended.
The Software Version box shows the new software/firmware version.
Switch the functioning of the memory benches relevant to the controller
WARNING The operation is traffic affecting.

The time to switch the memory benches is approximately 90 seconds.

The term alarm defines the fault signal generated by an error or malfunction of the equipment or of any
component that composes it.
The signals referring to any event that does not indicates a malfunction but a status change, an operation
in progress or an operating indication are defined status signals.
The term event defines every signal of status, detected alarm and cleared alarm.
A maximum of 500 events are recorded in the equipment controller. When this limit is exceeded, each new
event will overwrite the oldest event.
Displaying alarms
The list of the current alarms is indicates in the Equipment status area.
Enabling/disabling 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 pro-
gram: as the alarm had never occurred.
On the contrary, enabling an alarm (default condition) means that, when the alarm is detected,
this is registered in the equipment controller and, if the forwarding of the relevant trap is ena-
bled (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 alarm of each equipment.
Enabling/disabling traps
The trap is a message (in this case of detection or clearing of an alarm) spontaneously sent by
the equipment to a possible external management system, for example 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 equip-
ment 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 registered 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 alarm of each equipment.
Alarm severity
Each alarm acknowledged and managed by the local management program has an associated
severity which determinates the importance of the alarm.
This severity is not fixed, but can be changed by the user as he likes.
Alarms log
With log of the equipment alarms we mean the list of the status and alarm signals currently ac-
tive on the equipment (current alarms) and the signals memorized in the equipment controller
(alarm history).
WEB LCT allows to Save the log of the equipment alarms and to Delete the log of the equipment
alarms.

FTP protocol (info)
The equipment uses the FTP protocol for the file transfer (download/upload).
To manage the FTP protocol, as tool auxiliary to WEB LCT application, it is necessary to install and run one
of the following programs:
• Web Lct Console version 1.2.0 or later.
• Standard FTP Server (e.g., free FTP Server FileZilla).
Web Lct Console

When the program is started, the FTP server provided with the program itself is automatically
started.
The server does not perform any check on the credentials.
For the download operations, it is sufficient to enter the complete path where the file resides.
At start-up of WLC, if a FTP Server is already active, the FTP server available with the program
is not started. This condition is signalled by a message.
Server FTP standard

If you use your own FTP Server, it must be installed and configured if not already present on
the PC.
The configuration consists in defining the users and the path (Shared Folder) used later for the
file transfer.
USERS. For a correct management of the data transfer, the credential used to access to WEB LCT
page must be the same configured for the FTP Server.
For this reason, it is suggested to configure, for the FTP Server, the users present in the equip-
ment user list with whom the download/upload operations are executed.
PATH. Define the path of Shared Folder for the file transfer.
The path will be used to save the files in the upload operations and shall be the path (even par-
tial) where are present the files for the download operations.
It is suggested not to save the files in C:\, but to create a sub-folder and set it for the file saving
(e.g. C:\ftp or C:\backup). This allows saving the backup files without being Administrator users
(some Windows versions require to be Administrator user to save the file in C:\).

Users list
The user list is a list of the users who can connect and require to login to the equipment by the
WEB LCT application (WEB user) or the NMS5UX-B/NMS5LX program (SNMP user).
If an user is not present in the list stored in the equipment controller, that user cannot connect
and/or login to the that equipment.
Users are subdivided into groups (for details, see successive paragraphs).
Before creating an user, it is necessary to create the group which the user must be associated
to. One group can contain more users, but one specific user can belong to only one group.
A maximum of 10 groups and 10 users can be created in the equipment user list.
At the first connection with the equipment or after a Factory Default operation, a default group
and a default user are available. Then, through WEB LCT application, new users and groups can
be created, modified and deleted.
The management of the user list can be performed even by NMS5UX-B/NMS5LX system.
Groups
The users belonging to the list are organized in groups for which it is possible to define a profile
and the enabling to the use of FTP, HTTP and SNMP protocols.
The profile and the authorization of a group will be automatically assigned to the user who is
associated to that group.
The characteristics of a group are:
• Name of the group. The name of the group must be unique within an user list.
The name of the group, once assigned, cannot be changed.
• Profile which will be automatically assigned to the users associated to the group:
operations: modifying the user list, aligning the date/time of the equipment, force
the logout of a user and all those operations available only to the Admin. user.
• Maintenance. The user with this profile can check the parameters and execute
only maintenance operations (MAN OP) in the Manual Operations contextual area
and Radio BER contextual area.
• Protocols which will be available to the users assigned to the group:
• Protocol HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol), used to transfer hypertext pages on
the WEB.
• Protocol SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), which allows monitoring
and controlling the network device. The user can activate the use of the first ver-
sion (SNMPv1), the second version (SNMPv2c) of the protocol.
• Protocol FTP (File Transfer Protocol), for the file transfer based on TCP.
More options can be enabled at the same time.
At the first connection with the equipment or after a Factory Default operation, a default group
is available with the following characteristics:
Name: Admin.
Profile: Administrator.
Enabled protocols: HTTP, FTP and SNMP version 1.
The default group can be changed but not deleted.
Via WEB LCT application, the user can Verify the user groups and only one user with Adminis-
trator profile can Add a user group, Modify a user group or Delete a user group.

Users
The users belonging to the list are organized in groups for which a profile and the enabling to
the use of the FTP, HTTP and SNMP protocols can be defined.
The profile and the authorization of a group will be automatically assigned to the user who is
associated to that group.
The characteristics of an user are:
• Name/Password. Name and access password, which allow the program recognizing the
user as authorized.
The same user can open more WEB LCT page relevant to different equipment.
The name of an user must be unique within an user list.
The name of an user, once assigned, cannot be changed.
• Group which the user is associated to and from which the user inherits the profile and
the enabling to the use of FTP, HTTP, SNMP protocols.
• Timeout of the WEB LCT session opened by the user. It is possible to:
• Disable the timeout: the WEB LCT session opened by the user (even if disconnect-
ed) will be preserved for an indefinite period of time.
• Enable the timeout: the WEB LCT session opened by the user, if disconnected, will
be automatically terminated once the set time period is reached.
With disconnected session we mean a WEB LCT session for which the relevant
WEB LCT page has been closed, but the disconnection from the equipment has not
been performed (user logout).
At the first connection with the equipment or after a Factory Default operation, a default user
is available with the following characteristics:
User: admin
Password: admin
Group: Admin. (default group - see characteristics in previous paragraph).
Profile: Administrator.
Timeout: 300 sec.
WARNING At the first access, it is suggested to immediately change the password of the default
user in order to limit the risk of intrusion via this account.
The default user can be modified or deleted. The only condition is that there must be at least
one other user with Administrator profile in the user list.
Through WEB LCT application, the user can Verify the user list and, only an user with Adminis-
trator profile, Add a user, Modify a user or Delete a user.
NMS5UX user
If the equipment is managed even by NMS5UX-B/NMS5LX supervision system, it is necessary
to create the user used by the supervision system for the connection to the equipment.
This user must be associated to a group with profile Administrator and all the protocols enabled.
More information about the NMS5UX-B/NMS5LX supervision system is reported in the relevant
documentation.

timeout is not active, the loop will be active until its deactivation by the user, the switch-off/switch-on of
the equipment or the equipment reset.
Operation available only if the port is enabled to use (Admin State - Up).
2. Set the Loopback value in the Admin State box relevant the wished port.
3. Press Apply.
A message warns that you are executing a forcing and shows the current setting of timeout.
4. Confirm the operation.

The activation of the loop activates the MAN. OP alarm. If the equipment is switched off and, then,
switched on, the forcing results inactive, independently from the previous setting.
2. Set the Up or Down value in the Admin State box relevant the wished port.
WARNING Operation meaningful only for the line ports of the Switch.
Remember that a peer-to-peer connection works correctly if the two peers have set the same modality for
the autonegotiation management.
2. In the Auto Neg. box relevant the wished port, set the box:
• Active ( ). The autonegotiation is enabled. The port negotiates the transmission speed with the
peer at the other end of the link, in order to find the optimal mutual connectivity. In autonego-
tiation, the Full Duplex without flow control is proposed by default.
The port with optical interface can negotiate only the transmission speed 1Gb.
• Inactive ( ). The autonegotiation is disabled. The port uses the transmission speed configured
in the Speed box (see Modify the transmission speed of a port), the flow control configured in
the Data Flow tab, while the operation modality is Full Duplex.

C-VID Registration tab
The tab displays the C-VID registration table (C-VID Registration).
An internal connection between one Customer Network (CNP) port on S-VLAN component and one Provider
Edge (PEP) port on C-VLAN component is instanced for every VLAN.
The connection between CNP and PEP is set by the mutual entries in C-VID registration table (C-VID Reg-
istration) and PEP configuration table (see PEP Configuration tab).
In C-VID registration table, one entry is created for every C-VLAN supported in the C-VLAN component
associated with one Customer Edge port (CEP).
The CEP identifier and the C-VID combination identify one PEP. The entry contains (among the other pa-
rameters) a S-VID value corresponding to the PVID of CNP, which associates the PEP to a specific Customer
Network port (CNP).
Parameters
The list contains the ports of Customer Edge type.
C-VLAN ID. Customer VLAN ID value present in the C-TAG of the packets in input to the specific
port: 1 ÷ 4094.
S-VLAN ID. VLAN ID of the service instance which the port and the Customer VLAN ID are
mapped to: 1 ÷ 4094.
Untagged PEP. Forwarding modality of the packets, with the specific C-VID, in inputs to the
Customer Edge port through the Provider Edge port:
• TRUE. The packets are forwarded without TAG C-VLAN.
• FALSE. The packets are forwarded with a valid C-TAG and C-VID.
Untagged CEP. Forwarding modality of the packets, with the specific C-VID through the Cus-
tomer Edge port:
• TRUE. The packets are forwarded without TAG C-VLAN.
• FALSE. The packets are forwarded with TAG C-VLAN. If this is missing, it is added.

LLF (command)

The bidirectional LLF functionality allows interrupting the connection with the remote equipment (in both
directions) as consequence of the disabling of the LANs of the local equipment due to Link Loss Forwarding.
For the correct configuration of the bidirectional LLF functionality for a radio connection, it is necessary to
perform the operations described in the following example.
Suppose you wish to disable the LAN-1 ports (on local and remote equipment) as consequence of LLF de-
tected by the local LAN-1 port.
Operations to perform for the LOCAL equipment via the WEB LCT page:
a. Select Base Band > Ethernet > LLF.
b. Configure a port for the management of LLF functionality setting the following values:
Port: LAN 1
LLF Status: Enable
Alarm to Circuit: Enable
Delay Time: any value
c. Configure the radio circuit for the forwarding of the LOS alarm present on LAN selecting LAN 1
in the Ports area and setting the following values:
Circuit: #1 Link ID: ODU-A
LOS to Circuit: Enable
d. Press Apply and continue.
Operations to perform for the REMOTE equipment via the WEB LCT page:
a. Select Base Band > Ethernet > LLF.
b. Configure a port for the management of LLF functionality setting the following values:
Port: LAN 1
LLF Status: Enable
Alarm to Circuit: Enable
Delay Time: any value
c. Press Apply and continue.
With this configuration, an alarm in reception on the remote terminal causes the activation of LLF alarm
and the consequent disabling of the associated LAN-1 port on both the terminals.

1. Select Base Band > Ethernet > Queue Depth.
2. Press the option Active relevant to the policy you wish to activate and confirm.

Queue Depth contextual area
The contextual area displays the policy for the management of the depth of the queues in output (8 queues
per port).
The Switch can insert a limited number of packets into every queue. This limit, indicated as depth, can be
configured by the user. During the period of high traffic, a queue is filled by packets waiting for the trans-
mission. When a queue reaches its limit, by default the Switch discards the packets until when the queue
is not full longer.
Parameters
Profile. Available profiles of the output queues:
• Full shared memory. This configuration, identical for every queue, allows the dynamic
allocation of memory per queue up to 1/8 of the total memory available in every mo-
ment.
• Priority based memory allocation. This configuration is based on the principle for
which the lower priority traffic needs longer queues. The proper forwarding of the
traffic at the different priorities (and queue) allows achieving the wished length.
• Uniform memory allocation. This configuration provides queues with constant length,
independently from the traffic priority. The use of WRED algorithms allows changing
the method used to store the different traffic types, obtaining different depths.
Profile Description. Detailed description of the configuration of the selected profile.

If the selected option is:
• Full shared memory. The description is the following:
Full shared memory allocation
Hardware default
• Priority based memory allocation. The description is the following:
Memory allocation dependent on scheduling priority
Lower priority queues are wider than higher priority queues
Reference frame length: 2048 byte

Line port reserved memory [Mbyte]: 4, 2, 1 0.512, 0.256, 0.128, 0.128, 0.128
• Uniform memory allocation. The description is the following:
Uniform memory allocation
At each port, all queues have the same length
Reference frame length: 2048 byte
Total reserved memory: 76.5 Mbyte
Total shared memory: 0 Mbyte
Radio port reserved memory per queue [Mbyte]: 4

PHYSICAL INTERFACE
Port Alarm Report. Enabling state of the Loss of Signal Alarm for the management port:
• Disabled. Alarm disabled: the detection of the alarm is not registered in the
equipment controller and, as consequence, is not communicated to a possible
management program: as the alarm had never occurred.
• Enabled. Alarm enabled: the detection of the alarm is registered in the equip-
ment controller and, if the forwarding of the relevant trap is enabled (see
Alarm Severity Config. contextual area), the alarm is communicated to the
management system and displayed in the current alarms and the history
alarms.
Admin State. Enabling state of the management port:
• Down. The port is not enabled to use: the port does not transmit/receive traf-
fic.
The port cannot transmit/receive traffic if the physical connection does not work.
Link Status. Status of the physical connection between the management port and a de-
vice in network:
• Up. The physical connection is active and ready for the traffic exchange.
• Down. The physical connection does not work: no physical connection has
been enabled or the established physical connection is not active or is defec-
tive.
Auto Neg. Activation state of the autonegotiation for the management port:
• Enabled. The autonegotiation is enabled. The port negotiates the transmission
speed with the peer at the other end of the link, in order to find the optimal
mutual connectivity. In autonegotiation, the Full Duplex modality without flow
control is proposed.

Routing Table
WARNING When all pieces of equipment belongs to the same IP network and sending packets to other net-
works is not necessary, the Routing Table must not be necessarily defined because the network can man-
age its own internal traffic. Setting the Routing Table is necessary when equipment must send packets
between two different networks, then the traffic must be re-routed from a network to another one (routing
functionality of the equipment).
The Routing Table command manages the Routing Table of the equipment.

Management of synchronisation
ALFOplus80HD 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 Verify/modify the
management of synchronisation).
WARNING You can enable the management of synchronization only if the Sync Eth functionality is enabled
Synchronism sources
The equipment has more synchronism sources:

TE LAN-1. Source extracted from the LAN-1 of Ethernet Switch.
TE LAN-2. Source extracted from the LAN-2 of Ethernet Switch.
T2 RADIO. Source extracted from the Radio 1A.
Internal. Source extracted from an its own internal reference (25MHz STRATUM 3e).
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).
WARNING You can enable the use of the source only if the Sync Eth functionality is enabled (see Equipment
Features tab).

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.
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 3e)
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.
Quality of synchronism source
Every synchronism source is characterized by a quality level.

When the use of quality is enabled, it concurs in the selection of the source to use for the synchronisation
in the following way: the source with higher quality level, and whose signal is valid, is used to synchronize
the equipment (if a forcing is not active).
The quality level of one source is contained in the Synchronisation Status Messages (SSM). These messag-
es are periodically transmitted; the absence of a message is considered as condition of failure of the syn-
chronisation mechanism.
The availability quality levels, from higher to lower level, are listed here below:
• PRC (Primary Reference Clock). The source quality is in compliance with Recc. ITU-T G.781 with
extension to G.8264 for Ethernet streams which defines the parameters of the primary reference
clock.
• SSUT (Synchronisation Supply Unit Transit). The source quality is in compliance with Recc. ITU-
T G.781 with extension to G.8264 for Ethernet streams which defines the parameters of the
transit synchronism units.
• SSUL (Synchronisation Supply Unit Local). The source quality is in compliance with Recc. ITU-T
G.781 with extension to G.8264 for Ethernet streams which defines the parameters of the syn-
chronism local units.
• SEC (SDH Equipment Clock). The source quality is in compliance with Recc. ITU-T G.781 with
extension to G.8264 for Ethernet streams which defines the parameters of the equipment clock.
Depending on the type of synchronism source, the modality used to insert and extract the SSM messages
changes as pointed out here below.
Synchronism sources TE LAN-1 and TE LAN-2 (Ethernet)

For the synchronism sources TE LAN-1 and TE LAN-2, the quality management depends on the
LAN interface and by the management of the SSM messages as indicated here below.

WEB LCT
As regards the quality management via the WEB LCT page, it is possible:
WARNING The quality of the synchronism sources is a feature subjected to enabling (Sync quality man-
agement equipment feature).
If this feature is not enabled, all the parameters relevant to the quality management will not be available
(see Verify the equipment feature).
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:

The user can force the status of the internal synchronism T0 (see Force the status of the T0 synchronisa-
tion).

Verify/modify the duplex frequency

1. Select Radio Branch.

The Dplx Freq parameter indicates the duplex frequency (MHz) of the equipped radio.
The displayed value is always positive, independently from the position of the transmission frequency
with respect to the receiving frequency.
Verify/modify the frequency which the equipment transmitter is tuned on

WARNING Setting the parameter does NOT automatically modify even the RF frequency of remote equip-
ment.
Before setting the transmission frequency of the equipment, set the duplex frequency value.

The Tx Freq parameter indicates the transmission frequency of the equipment.
2. To change the parameter, it is possible to:

• Set in the Tx Freq box the wished frequency value using the fine tuning step (typically 125 KHz).
• Press Freq. Table to display the table of the frequencies (see ITU-R F2006). Select the wished
value and press Ok. If this value was not present in the table, the radio can be however tuned
with fine tuning.

Push-button available only if the channelling file has been previously loaded on the equipment.
In case of fine-step file (less than 1 MHz), the frequency table does not contain any value to
avoid reading not meaningful values.
Verify/modify the modulation status of the RF carrier

WARNING Deactivating the modulation (option On) is a maintenance operation (MAN. OP).
Before deactivating the modulation, configure the transmitter power to the minimum value.

The Carrier Only parameter indicates the modulation status of the RF carrier:
• On. The carrier is not modulated.
• Off. The carrier is modulated.
3. Press Apply.
Only if you are deactivating the modulation (selection of the On option) a message warns that you are
executing a forcing and displays the current setting of timeout.

The modulation deactivation of the carrier activates the MAN. OP alarm. If the equipment is switched
off and, then, switched on, the modulation is active independently from the previous setting.
Verify/modify the operation of the transmitter

WARNING Switching the transmitter off (option Off) is a maintenance operation (MAN. OP).
The permanent switch-off of the transmitter (option Permanent Off) is NOT a maintenance operation, so
the selection of this value is not subjected to the Timeout of MAN OP and the setting is not lost after a
controller restart.

The Tx Transmitter parameter indicates the operation of the transmitter:
• On. The transmitter is turned on.
• Off. The transmitter is turned off.
• Permanent Off. The transmitter is turned off in permanent mode.
3. Press Apply.
Only if you are switching off the transmitter (selection of the Off option) a message warns that you are
executing a forcing and displays the current setting of timeout.

The turning off of the transmitter activates the MAN. OP alarm. If the equipment is switched off and,
then, switched on, the transmitter is on, independently from the previous setting.

Verify/modify the resolution of the received power (Prx)

The Prx: <current value> dB parameter indicates the resolution used to communicate the changes of
the power received by the equipment (Prx) to a possible external management program (trap Prx
change).
2. To change the parameter, move the cursor on the wished value.
Verify/modify the resolution of the transmitted power (Ptx)


The Ptx: <current value> dB parameter indicates the resolution used to communicate the changes of
the power transmitted by the equipment (Ptx) to a possible external management program (trap Ptx
change).
2. To change the parameter, move the cursor on the wished value.
Verify/modify the functioning status of the ATPC

2. Select the ODU Powers tab.

The Tx Power Control area indicates the functioning status of the ATPC:
• Manual. The ATPC device is in manual functioning mode (ATPC function disable).
In this condition, it is possible to adjust the maximum output power (Max Ptx cursor).
• Automatic. The ATPC device is in automatic functioning mode.
In this condition, the transmitted power is automatically adjusted according to the level of the
signal at reception.
The thresholds of the ATPC device can be configured (see Verify/modify the threshold of the
ATPC device). Then, it is possible to adjust the maximum output power (see Verify/modify the
maximum output power value at the transmitter).
Verify/modify the maximum output power value at the transmitter


The Max Ptx: <current value> dBm parameter indicates the maximum output power value at the trans-
mitter (Ptx nominal value).
3. To change the parameter, move the cursor on the wished value. If you wish to set the maximum avail-
able value of range, activate the box ATPC Full Range.

Verify/modify the range of the ATPC regulation
WARNING Operation available only if the ATPC device is in automatic functioning mode (Tx Power Control
parameter - Automatic value).

The ATPC Regulation: <current value> dB parameter indicates the range of the ATPC regulation (ex-
pressed in dB) with respect to the current value of maximum Tx output, that is intended as the upper
limit of the range.
3. To change the parameter, move the cursor on the wished value. If you wish to set the maximum avail-
able value of range, activate the box ATPC Full Range.
Verify/modify the threshold of the ATPC device


In the ATPC Thresholds on Local PRx area the threshold of the ATPC is pointed out:
• High: <current value> dBm. Threshold of the ATPC device to decrease the transmitted power
when the received field from the local equipment is equal to or higher than the set threshold
value.
• Low: <current value> dBm. Threshold of the ATPC device to increase the transmitted power
when the received field from the local equipment is equal to or lower than the set threshold val-
ue.
3. To change the threshold move the High and/or Low cursor to the wished value.

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 document RFC2819 - Remote Network Monitoring Management Information Base, which
must be read for any further detail.
Outline on the operation

RMon standard is based on two components: an agent (RMon probe) and a client (remote man-
agement station).
The agent saves the data within its own RMon tables present on the network devices (equip-
ment, routers, etc.). The RMon probes can see only the traffic flowing through themselves.
The remote management station communicates with the RMon agent to obtain and correlate the
RMon data. 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

The Rmon functionality available in WEB LCT allows monitoring the status of the Ethernet Switch
ports in compliance with the RMON standard.
With reference to what depicted in the previous paragraph, the Rmon functionality acts as client
which, through the commands present in the GUI, allows the analysis and the management of
the data collected by the probes.
The probes are present at level of:
Port (line/radio) of the Ethernet switch (RMon instance per Port). This instance allows
monitoring all the traffic in input/output to/from one port of the Ethernet Switch.
VLAN (RMon instance Port & C-VID/S-VID). This instance allows monitoring only the traf-
fic in input/output to/from one Ethernet port with a given VLAN identifier (C-VID or S-
VID according to the Bridge operating modality).
Priority (RMon instance Port & Priority). This instance allows monitoring only the traffic
in input/output to/from one Ethernet port with a given priority value (Internal Priority).
The probes collect the statistic data, which are stored in the RMon table of the equipment.
Currently, the ALFOplus80HD equipment implements the RMON MIB groups Statistics and His-
tory.
WARNING The recommended maximum total number of instances (per Port, Port & C-VID/S-
VID e Port & Priority) is 40.
RMON MIB group: Statistics

Rmon functionality can display to the user, through the GUI, the current statistics measured by
the RMon probes (see Display the values of the RMon statistic counters (RMon instances per
Port) and Display the values of the RMon statistic counters (RMon instances Port & Priority and
Port & C-VID/S-VID).
To display the counters of an instance, it is necessary to enable the involved instance (see Set
a RMon instance per Port to the count of the RMon statistics and Set a RMon instance Port &
Priority or Port & C-VID/S-VID to the count of the RMon statistics) and then activate the counting
(see Activate the count of the RMon statistics).
The count will be active for this instance until the user deactivates it (see Deactivate the count
of the RMon statistics) or deletes the instance (see Delete a RMon instance per Port for the count
of the RMon statistics and Delete a RMon instance Port & Priority or Port & C-VID/S-VID for the
count of the RMon statistics.
RMON MIB group: History

Rmon functionality can display to the user, through the GUI, the evolution in time (history) of
the statistics relevant to the counters in input/output of every monitored probes (see Display
the history of the RMon statistic (RMon instances per Port) and Display the history of the RMon
statistic (RMon instance Port & Priority and Port & C-VID/S-VID).

At equipment level, the value of the counters of the RMon probes is stored in the statistics his-
tory every x seconds (sampling interval). The equipment stores these data into a circular buffer
where, when full, the new information replaces the old one (value set to 240 samples, which
allows memorizing 4 hours into the equipment).
In order to memorize in the database and display the statistics history of one instance, it is nec-
essary to activate the instance (see Set a RMon instance per Port to the count of the history of
the RMON statistics and Set a RMon instance Port & Priority or Port & C-VID/S-VID to the count
of the history of the RMON statistics) and then activate the count (see Activate the count of the
RMon statistics).
The count will be active for this instance until the user deactivates it (see Deactivate the count
of the RMon statistics) or deletes the instance (see Delete a RMon instance per Port for the count
of the history of the RMON statistics and Delete a RMon instance Port & Priority or Port & C-VID/
S-VID for the count of the history of the RMON statistics).
When an instance is activated, the supervision system starts memorizing the data relevant to
the statistics and makes them available to the user, in table format, subdivided for single RMon
instance.
