Compaq Software Product Description ______________________________________________________________________________ PRODUCT: TeMIP Access Module for Generic TL1 Implementation SPD 70.75.00 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, 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 Telecommunications Management Network (TMN) M.3010 and M.3100 Recommendations. It 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 Generic TL1 Access Module (AM) is part of this program and provides a basis to build AMs for equipment implementing a TL1 management protocol. This Access Module is a bi-directional module addressing fault management. It receives and processes unsolicited messages, and can also send management commands and receive the associated responses. SOLUTION COMPONENTS The equipment is either interfaced directly with TeMIP or accessed through an intermediate system providing a TL1 interface. On the TeMIP side the solution is made up of a combination of Management Modules: . The RS232 or X.25 (Switched Virtual Circuits) or TCP (IP sockets) Communication Server Access Module is responsible for establishing and maintaining the physical connection to the equipment. . The Network Element AM (derived from the Generic TL1 AM) is 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 The Generic TL1 supports the Information Model given in Table 1. Only physical units, (with the exception of environmental components), are modelled using the Equipment class. All other "facilities", including environmental components, correspond with the TMPL_NE global class. Table 1: Generic TL1 AM Hierarchy Class Description Global Class Child Class Child Class Description ------------ ----------- ----------- --------------------- TMPL_NE Template Network Element Equipment Physical units (except environmental components) MANAGEMENT CAPABILITIES SUMMARY Autonomous Messages Support The Generic TL1 AM handles the following unsolicited messages pertaining to the Surveillance Interface: . REPT ALM: Report Alarm . REPT ALM ENV: Report Alarm Environment . REPT EVT: Report Event . REPT PM: Report Performance Monitoring . REPT COND: Report Condition. Limitation: The REPT ALM ENV, REPT PM and REPT COND messages are processed to the extent of parsing. No further processing of the parsed data is provided. Commands Support The following commands pertaining to the Surveillance Interface are supported: . RTRV-HDR: Retrieve Header . RTRV-ALM-ALL: Retrieve Current Alarms . RTRV-ALM-ENV: Retrieve Current Alarm Environment . RTRV-COND-ALL: Retrieve Current Conditions . ALW-MSG-ALL: Enable Autonomous Message Reporting . INH-MSG-ALL: Inhibit Autonomous Message Reporting . ALW-PMREPT-ALL: Enable Performance Monitoring Reporting . INH-PMREPT-ALL: Inhibit Performance Monitoring Reporting . ACT-USER: Session Logon . CANC-USER: Logoff . SET-TH: Set Performance Monitoring Threshold . RTRV-TH: Retrieve Performance Monitoring Threshold . RMV: Remove Facility . RST: Restore Facility. Limitation: The RTRV-COND, RTRV-ALM-ENV, ACT-USER, CANC-USER commands are implemented to the extent that they are defined and formatted, but not mapped onto any directives of the Management Model. Miscellaneous Management Capabilities The Generic TL1 AM implements the features listed below: . Keep-Alive message generation at regular/controllable intervals . Automatic Detection and reporting of communication failure . Automatic alarm state re-synchronization after communication failure . Duplicate alarms filtering. Supported Messages, Commands and Responses Table 2 shows the Autonomous Messages, the Commands and the associated Responses that can be handled by the AM. Table 2: Generic TL1 AM Supported Messages, Commands and Responses No. Type Description --- ---- ----------------------------- 1. Autonomous REPT ALM: Used to report one or more changes in state of some alarm conditions 2. Autonomous REPT ALM ENV: Used to report environmental alarms 3.
