Function Summary
The system summary screen provides a system layout and real-time status overview
for a Node or Terminal.
The layout options support slot assignment selection/confirmation for INU/INUe
plug-in options.
Circuit connection data provides a visual indication of all traffic cross-connections
for an INU/INUe.
Includes quick-access menus to relevant configuration and diagnostics screens, as
well as single-click access to relevant alarms screens.
A top-level alarm severity icon is displayed within the status bar of all screens. It is
supported by problem icons and mouse-over tool-tips, with single-click access to the
System Summary screen for more data.
The events browser screen provides a real-time view of all alarms, both active and
cleared. Icons indicate severity, and if active or cleared. All events are time and date
stamped, and options are provided to view just current alarms, or all occurrences of
a selected alarm type. The events listing can also be exported as a csv (Excel) file.
History screens provide selection of 15-minute or 24-hour options. 15-minute
provides viewing of seven days worth of 15 minute data bins; 24-hour provides one
months worth of 1 day data bins. Screens are provided for RACs and for Ethernet
DACs.
RACs: The graph option provides a histogram of G.826 statistics, G.821 bit errors,
event detected, configuration changes, and RSL. The report option enables selection
of five history summaries: G.826, G.821, RSL, Event or Configuration.
Ethernet DACs: Screens present Ethernet Rx and Tx statistics per port and channel,
events and configuration changes.
The alarms screen provides a tree-view of all alarm actions for a selected plug-in
since log-on, or a history reset.
For a link (RAC) the performance screen provides G.826 data, RSL, current BER,
remote fade margin, transmit power, ODU temperature, and ODU supply voltage.
For the DAC ES and DAC GE it presents RMON performance data.
Systems controls presents plug-in and module relevant diagnostic menus for setting
loopbacks, AIS, protection locks, Tx mute, and BER testing.
For DAC ES and DAC GE it presents Ethernet data dashboards, which include Tx
and Rx throughput, discards and errors per port and channel.
Circuit loopbacks supports activation of a both-way loopback on the TDM bus.
