Definitions

Card A card is defined as an individual module that can be inserted into an

OLT or ONT

Network Element A Network Element is defined as a complete OLT or ONT. A Network

Element includes all the cards provisioned in the OLT or ONT

PON A PON is defined as the fiber that connects to a PCU in an OLT. A

PON also includes all the ONTs connected to that fiber

Terawave Management System(TMS)

Purpose

TMS functionality includes: Provisioning Network Elements in the TMS database Provisioning hardware modules in the Network Elements Provisioning services Aggregating & displaying Alarms from Network Elements Resource aggregation – Enables viewing multiple NEs as a single unit

based upon a given set of requirements Alarm aggregation & viewing– Viewing alarms on all NEs from a

centralized platform Performance of diagnostics Setting Threshold Crossing Alert levels

TMS relies on the NE (INT, ONT or OLT) database as the database of record

Installation Requirements

TMS has hardware and software “recommendations” TMS can operate on platforms less than the minimum

recommendations, but performance and response will be less than acceptable for a standard working environment

TMS is NOT supported on the Linux OS at this time The underlying TMS code is the same as Unix, but the scripting for

installation, startup and shutdown must be written for the Linux OS

Alarms can be viewed on multiple levels ONT OLT System

• Includes OLT & ONT alarms

• Local Active

• History

• All Local Active

• Events

• TCA Events

• RMON Events Network

• Includes all Systems

51

Module 6


TMS

Alarm Management

Alarm management is performed on a System basis, administered by the OLT

Alarm management consists of two functions Alarm Reporting – What NMS workstations do you want information

reported to. IP address dependent

• Will report Alarms to 3 workstations

• TMS automatically uses one IP address Alarm Filtering – Severity of Alarms and what you want to do with the

Alarms

• Severity – Critical, Major, Minor, Informational

• Filter

– Ignore them

– Keep them local

– Report them to NMS workstations

52

Alarm Management – Alarm Logs

Alarm Logs ONT

Alarm Management – Alarm Logs

Alarm Logs TMS

• Network - Includes alarms/events from all Systems

– Active

– History

– Events

– TCA events

• Alarms/Events are stored in the TMS computer RAM. A computer restart or power failure will wipe out all Alarms and Events from TMS

• After a TMS restart, Active Alarms will be retrieved through the Synchronization process

• Short term Alarms/Events are stored in tomcat/webapps/EyeWave/db

Module 6


TMS Database Matching

TMS to Network Elements

Network Element database always assumed to be most correct

Ability exists to “synchronize” the TMS configuration databases with the NE databases

“Synchronize” can be performed on multiple levels Network Element System

An Auto-Synchronize is performed by TMS with each NE once a day (around midnight)

Module 6


TMS

“Keep-Alive” Signals

Periodic Keep-Alive Every two minutes a keep alive SNMP request message is sent from

the TMS to a NE that is provisioned in TMS The NE is expected to respond to the message. If no response is

received, 3 retries are done over a 7 second period. If all requests fail, then the lightning bolt is displayed

Normal Operation During normal user operation, if any SNMP request fails, 3 retries are

done over a 7 second period. If all requests fail, then the dagger would go through the NE
