Compaq Software Product Description _______________________________________________________________________________ PRODUCT NAME: TeMIP Access Module for Lucent 5ESS Wireline Switch SPD 70.50.00 DESCRIPTION TeMIP is a family of software products for the management of telecommunications and corporate networks, including fixed wire and mobile/cellular voice and data, multi-vendor, multi-technology networks. TeMIP V3.2 provides comprehensive off-the-shelf fault and trouble management functions such as Alarm Handling, Event Logging and Trouble Ticketing for telecommunications network management. TeMIP supports the International Standards Organization (ISO) management standards ISO 10164-x and ISO 10165-x, and the OMNIpoint 1 standards as defined by NMF and T1M1. TeMIP and its features are applicable in the context of the International Telecommunication Union-Telecom Standard Sector (ITU-T) X.73x and Telecommunication Management Network (TMN) M.3010 and M.3100 Recommendations. TeMIP gives network operators a global view of their networks, and enables them to activate management functions and operations from single or multiple workstations. TeMIP is built on top of the TeMIP Framework, and fully benefits from the object oriented and truly distributed software architecture. The TeMIP 5ESS Wireline Access Module (AM) provides an interface to the 5ESS Wireline switching system (software version: 5EE7 and 5EE10). This Access Module supports: . Fault management capabilities: reception and processing of unsolicited alarm messages. . Performance management capabilities: collection of performance parameters from an exchange pertaining to traffic management. (this refers to the "Performance Fragment" of ITU-T Q.823). . Traffic management capabilities: put "Traffic Controls" into effect to manipulate the flow of calls through an exchange (this refers to the "Control Fragment" of ITU-T Q.823). The TeMIP 5ESS Wireline AM can work, depending on the license installed, as a: . Level 1 AM addressing Fault Management only. . Level 2 AM addressing Fault and Performance Management. . Level 3 AM addressing Fault, Performance and Traffic Management. SOLUTION COMPONENTS The 5ESS Wireline switch inter-operates with TeMIP by means of a combination of Management Modules: . The RS232 Communication Server Access Module, responsible for establishing and maintaining the physical connection to the equipment. (As an alternative to the RS232 Communications Server, either the X.25 (SVC) or TCP (IP sockets) Communications Servers could also be used). . The 5ESS Wireline AM, responsible for the Information Model representing the management capabilities of the equipment as well as all associated semantic translations between its ASCII-based messaging interface and TeMIP data models. INFORMATION MODEL OUTLINE For Fault Management purposes the switch is modelled as 13 subsystems, which present a standard view of Wireline Switches, independent of technology. The subsystems are represented by the first level of child class and have just one instance each. This allows TMN managers to have a common view of different exchanges in a multi-vendor environment. The classes that show the specific hardware/software of 5ESS are located below the subsystem level. The switch itself is represented by the L5ESS_WLN class, of which the 13 subsystems classes are children. The meaning of each class is described in Table 1. The "AM Type" column shows for which AM level the corresponding class is supported.

Table 2 below presents the 5ESS Information Model pertinent to Performance and Traffic Management. The classes in the left-hand column are children of the switch class (L5ESS_WLN).

The 5ESS Wireline AM can handle all unsolicited messages sent by the switch that have some level of severity, that is, TeMIP can capture all alarm types (message names) sent by the switch with severity critical, major or minor,. A few message names without any severity are simply discarded by the 5ESS Wireline AM. However, because not all alarms are relevant or usual, the 5ESS Wireline AM maps messages to the ITU-T Standards in various levels of detail. Usual messages are carefully mapped to the Standards while unusual messages are roughly mapped to default values. The proprietary alarm message is always present in the Additional Text field for both Usual and Unusual messages. Alarm Clearance (Level 1, 2, 3) Several unsolicited messages have a correlated clearance alarm. These messages are not clearly defined as such, nor do they clearly identify which message should be cleared. According to ITU-T standards, correlated alarm clearance can be based on the following rule: . An alarm with severity clear that has the same values for Managed Object Instance, Event Type and Probable Cause as a previous alarm will clear that alarm. The 5ESS Wireline AM uses this rule to perform alarm correlation. For these messages the 5ESS Wireline AM generates the necessary information (Managed Object, Event Type, Probable Cause) so that the correct alarm correlation can be performed. Alarm Information (Level 1, 2, 3) Table 3 lists the 5ESS Wireline alarm messages that are mapped (Usual) by the AM.

exchange traffic reports are used to gather the traffic performance measurement attribute values for the Q.823 traffic reporting classes: . TGCOMP . OFFSUM . DESTID Note that the Access Module requires the 5ESS exchange output traffic usage values in "ERLANGS TIMES 100". The exchange may also support the reporting of usage values in CCS units, however, the Access Module does not support CCS usage units. Traffic Controls (Level 3) The following controls are supported by the 5ESS Access Module: . CANCEL_FROM: This control is created on an outgoing or two way route to prohibit traffic from overflowing to the next-in-chain routes. This control can be used for prohibiting overflow of directly routed traffic, alternately routed traffic, or both. . CANCEL_REROUTED: This control is created to prevent additional rerouting or alternate routing of calls that have already been rerouted. Rerouted calls are not allowed to overflow the route specified in the CANCEL_REROUTED control, while normal overflow traffic is not affected. . CANCEL_TO: This control is created to cancel direct routing, alternate routing, or both types of routing to a specified route. The cancellation of direct routing controls the amount of directly routed traffic accessing a route. Cancelling alternative routing will prevent overflow traffic from accessing a route. . DCC: This control (Destination Code Control) is created to control calls to a specific destination. The calls are controlled using one of the following methods: - Percentage (Code Blocking) - Rate (Call Gapping) The Code Blocking control prevents routing to a specific destination on a percentage basis. Code Blocking can be done on a country code, an area code, an exchange identification code, or an individual line number. The Code Blocking control is typically used for immediate control of focussed overloads or mass-calling situations. The Call Gapping control sets an upper limit on the output rate of calls to a specific destination. The upper limit is set by specifying a time period (interval) during which no more than one call should be permitted. This control ensures that the number of call attempts that are routed will never exceed the specified output rate, regardless of the call arrival rate. Call Gapping is typically used for the control of focussed overloads, particularly mass-calling to an individual line number. A detailed analysis may be required to determine the proper call-rate parameters. . SCR: This control (Selective Circuit Reservation) is created to block outgoing traffic that has a poor chance of completion on the specified Route. . SKIP: This control is created on outgoing routes to cause traffic routing to skip the route and advance to the next in-chain route in the routing table. This control eases congestion on routes with facility problems. The SKIP control can be used to affect directly routed traffic, alternatively routed traffic, or both. . TAR_FROM: This control (Temporary Alternative Routing From) is created to temporarily increase the number of routing possibilities. This control adds new routes at the end of a routing table, or between existing routes, to provide additional overflow paths.
