ScopeThis manual describes how to operate Version 2.1.0 of the GDC TEAM 5034 software application. The TEAM 5034 software employs the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPconfigure and control the operation of GDC SpectraComm 5034 Data Set Emulators (DSEcan be launched under IBM NetView to run on the AIX operating system.

Each SC 5034 DSE provides the DTE interface functions of two V.34 modems. The DSEwork interface takes place through the backplane of the SpectraComm shelf in which the Dinstalled and a SpectraComm Line Terminating Unit (LTU) that is connected to a T1 or E1The LTU provides one DS0 on the line for each of the two modem channels supported by t5034 DSE. At the Telco central office the signal from the LTU is separated into individual Dfor routing to the appropriate destinations. To a remote modem the SC 5034 modem chanpears to be a V.34 modem.

The TEAM 5034 application communicates with the DSEs through a SpectraComm Mana(SCM) card that occupies the SpectraComm shelf with them. Control by the application ctend also to remote modems that are connected to the DSEs under its local control.

Operating instructions for the SCM appear in the TEAM Core Operation manual. Operating in-structions for the LTU appear in the appropriate manual: TEAM 5001 Operation or TEAM 5002 Operation. The SC 5001 LTU supports connection to a T1 line; the SC 5002 LTU supportsnection to an E1 line.

This manual assumes a working knowledge of modem functions and operation. Familiaritythe AT command set for modem configuration is also useful.

Revision HistoryThis is the initial issue of the manual for Version 2.1.0 of the TEAM 5034 software for NetVVersion 2.1.0 is the first TEAM 5034 software to operate in the NetView environment. Eaversions operated exclusively in an HP OpenView environment. NetView and OpenView functionally identical, though they differ in some menu terminology.

1 Introduction

OverviewThis manual covers the General DataComm TEAM 5034 application. The application can be launched under IBM NetView to run on an AIX platform. You should be familiar with NetVieand with the operation of modems in order to use this manual effectively.

The TEAM 5034 application is actually a collection of integrated applications that managevarious aspects of GDC SC 5034 Data Set Emulator (DSE) cards. The applications use tSimple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The GDC SC 5034 DSE is part of the SpectraComm 5000 (SC 5000) system.

TEAM 5034 applications enable you to

• Configure SC 5034 DSEs and perform remote configuration on GDC V.34 modemsare connected to the DSEs as remote modems.

• Monito r the operation of the DSEs through displays of Alarms, Call Statistics and MoState, and through a Front Panel display that shows LED indicators as they appear front panel of the physical unit.

• Diagnose suspected problems using local and remote loops (with or without Self Testend-to-end Self Test. The dialing function is incorporated in the diagnostic applicatiofacilitate connections for remote loops and end-to-end tests.

SC 5000 System ComponentsSC 5000 hardware consists of three types of components:

Data Set Emulator (DSE) – performs DTE interface functions in a manner that emulathe operation of a traditional data set directly connected to a telephone line. For exaeach of the two modem channels supported by an SC 5034 DSE appears to its DTEits remote modem to be a V.34 modem. Rather than being connected to a telephonhowever, the SC 5034 DSE transmits and receives data through a data highway incorporated in the backplane of the SpectraComm shelf. The data highway links theto an LTU.

Line Terminating Unit (LTU) – performs network interface and channel grooming functions for a group of DSEs. An SC 5001 LTU connects to a T1 line and an SC 50LTU connects to a E1 line. Each transmits the combined data traffic of its group of DSEs to a Telco switching site. A T1 line provides 24 DS0s for that purpose; an E1 line prov30 DS0s for data, with two others used for network signaling and framing. On the linedata for each DSE occupies one or more DS0s. An SC 5034 DSE employs two DS0for each modem channel. Telco switching equipment routes the DS0s to their indiviremote destinations. In this way a single connection between an SC 5000 site and aswitching site can support connections with multiple remote sites, up to 24 with a T1or up to 30 with an E1 line depending on how many DS0s each DSE requires.

SpectraComm Manager (SCM) – acts as the SNMP agent through which TEAM

management applications communicate with SC 5000 components. All managemencommunications are directed to the SCM card Internet Protocol (IP) address. The SCcard relays commands and responses between management applications and hardwcomponents, using a slot addressing scheme to communicate over the SpectraCommbackplane with the other SC 5000 components. The SCM is transparent to the applicawhich operate as though they were communicating directly with the hardware units. The SCM card is managed by the TEAM Core application, which is also responsible for tDiscovery and Mapping functions by which NetView keeps track the devices being managed.

SC 5034 DSEEach 5034 DSE performs the functions of two V.34 modems. The two DSE modem channelsdesignated Modem A and Modem B by the applications, operate independent of each othmost respects. Each modem channel occupies one timeslot on the backplane data highwaSpectraComm shelf and one DS0 on the line connected to the LTU. An SC 5001 LTU cantherefore support up to 12 SC 5034 DSEs (24 modem channels), and an SC 5002 LTU can sup to 15 SC 5034 DSEs (30 modem channels).

Most functions of the TEAM 5034 applications operate on a modem channel basis. That isinvoke a function to operate on specifically Modem A or Modem B. This is true of the Monfunctions Alarms, Modem State, and Call Statistics; both the Administer functions, Configuand Maintenance; and the Diagnose functions (which include dialing). The Monitor functioReports is not dedicated to a single modem channel, but it is positioned below the channeselections in the Front Panel display menu structure.

Each modem channel supports connection rates to a remote modem ranging from 300 bpskbps. Operation at 300 bps is asynchronous; from 1200 bps to 33.6 kbps operation can beasynchronous or synchronous. Through the use of compression, each modem channel canDTE data rates up to 128 kbps.

TEAM 5034 ApplicationsThe applications that make up the TEAM 5034 manager are grouped on menus under theheadings Monitor, Administer, Diagnose, and Misc (Miscellaneous). Menus for the applicaare available in two ways:

• From the menu bar of the Shelf Map window when an SC 5034 DSE is selected in thwindow

• From the Select button on the SC 5034 Front Panel display.

SC 5034 Front Panel displays current status information on the SC 5034 DSE by displayinstates of the LED indicators on the front panel of the unit and provides Select button menuwhich you can invoke all other functions of the TEAM 5034 manager. Front Panel is a seleon the Monitor menu in the Shelf Map window menu bar. You can also launch the Front Pdisplay from that window by double clicking on the shelf icon of the DSE you need to work w

The following TEAM 5034 applications appear on both the Map window and Select buttonmenus:

• Monitor:

2 Operations

IntroductionThe TEAM 5034 controller application consists of a group of smaller applications, each devto a specific aspect of controlling or monitoring the SC 5034 Data Set Emulator. There armeans of access to the TEAM 5034 applications: the map menu bar, and the Front Panel wSelect button menus. This chapter describes both.

The menus group four applications in the Monitor category: Alarms, Reports, Call StatisticsModem State each display information in read-only windows to let you keep track of DSEactivities and operating conditions. The Reports application also enables you to save or dselected records. This chapter fully describes those four applications.

There are two applications in the Administer category: Configure and Maintenance each supread/write windows by which you can review and alter DSE operating parameters. This chdescribes how to access the ConfigurE and Maintenance applications. Instructions for usitwo applications appear in Chapters 3 and 4.

The Diagnostics/Dialing application supports a read/write window by which you can controtest functions of the DSE and view test results. The Dialing function is incorporated in thewindow to facilitate tests that require a switched network connection to a remote modem.chapter describes how to access the Diagnostics/Dialing application. Instructions for using tapplication appear in Chapter 5.

Three items appear on the Shelf Map menu bar as Misc (miscellaneous): Information, whdisplays version and copyright information on the TEAM 5034 application software; Front PPoll Rate, which affects the Front Panel display; and Note Pad. This chapter describes allNone of these three items appear in the Front Panel Select button menu. Information canaccessed from the Front Panel by clicking the mouse on the GDC logo in that display.

Map Window Menu Bar AccessThe table on the following page illustrates how the TEAM 5034 application functions are arranged on the menu bar at the top of the Shelf Map window. The table shows only the selections for the TEAM 5034 applications.

Call Statistics Data Storage

There are three modes of storage for Call Statistics Report data. In addition to the basic scapacity of the application there are also two methods of recording Call Statistics informatiindependent files that can be copied, exported, and otherwise manipulated as needed.

The basic, 100,000 record storage capacity of the Call Statistics Report application functiona very large buffer. Once there are 100,000 records stored, the application begins writing ovoldest record each time a new one has to be created.

The Save to File selection in the Call Statistics Report window File menu opens a pop up w

GDC 058R730-I210

Operations 2-9

in which you can specify the fil e name and directory path for storing the group of records currently selected for display.

The third form of storage is the Dail y File feature. When this feature is enabled it automatically records each day’s Call Statistics into a file. The data is recorded as tab-delimited ASCII text, for use in whatever database, spreadsheet, or word processing application you choose to employ.

There is not a graphic interface for control of the Daily File feature, instead it is controlled by a configuration text file named ca l l s t at _l og. conf stored on the workstation that runs the TEAM application. The file contains two configurable items:

Gener at eDai l yLogFi l es = YES/ NO enables or disables the feature, its default condition is NO

Dai l yLogFi l eDi r ec t ory = / usr / t mp/ call s t ats specifies the directory in which the data is stored; / usr /t mp/ cal l st at s is the default, but you can enter the path to any directory

Within the Log File Directory the application assigns each file it creates a six-digit name in the format YYMMDD. l og. The first two digits are the year the file is created, the next two are the month, and the final two digits are the day.

Use the following procedure to control the Daily File feature:

1. Open a shell tool on the workstation that runs the TEAM application and sign on as the su-per user.

2. Launch a text editor and access the configuration fil e. Its full directory path and name is

/ usr / OV/ app-d ef aul t s / C/ t eamvf _common/ cal l st at _l og. conf

3. Edit the configurable items as needed. Make sure that you do not leave a space after the =sign in the input.

4. When your changes are made, enter the following three commands to put the new config-uration into effect

cd / usr / OV/ bin

5. Exit from the text editor and close the shell tool.

Alarms

You can launch the TEAM 5034 Alarm application from the Shelf Map Monitor Menu or from the front panel menu. The application displays the read-only Alarms Detail window for the selected DSE modem channel (See Figure 2-4).

3 Configuration

IntroductionEach SC 5034 Data Set Emulator contains configurable options for each of its modem chthat include nearly the entire AT command set and its extensions. The TEAM 5034 Configuration application enables you to set all the options through a convenient group oconfiguration windows. It also supports a remote configuration function by which you canthe options in a GDC V.34 modem connected as a remote to the DSE modem channel.

To Start TEAM 5034 Configuration You can start the TEAM 5034 Configuration application by either of two methods:

• Select a DSE symbol on the Shelf Map, select the Configure option from the Adminmenu, then select the DSE modem channel (Modem A or Modem B) that you intendconfigure.

• Click on the Select button of the Front Panel display, select the DSE modem chann(Modem A or Modem B) that you intend to configure, then click on Administer and seConfigure from the resulting menu.

Profiles and TemplatesThe application always loads configuration settings to the DSE as a complete set, called a pYou do not change configuration options for an SC 5034 modem channel on an individualfrom the TEAM 5034 application. The DSE can store up to four configurable User Profileseach modem channel in non-volatile memory. The profiles stored in this way are not lost if pto the DSE is temporarily lost.

The DSE can also accept a Temporary Profile sent to it by the TEAM 5034 Configurationapplication. Configuration sent to a DSE modem channel as a Temporary Profile goes intoas the current operating configuration for the modem channel, but it is not permanently sA power interruption or a reset that occurs while a Temporary Profile is in use results in theof that profile. The chief purpose for Temporary Profiles, therefore, is for testing configurasettings prior to storing them as one of the four User Profiles.

Each time you change even a single option for a modem channel you must select Save tfrom the File menu, and either select a User Profile (0, 1, 2, or 3) to store the resulting configuration or specify that the configuration is a Temporary Profile.

Each modem channel also has four preset Factory Profiles. You can use a Factory Profileas an operating configuration or as a starting point from which to generate a User Profile.

When you save a profile to the DSE, it becomes the current operating configuration. The T5034 Maintenance application includes a function that lets you instruct the DSE modem chto use any of the eight profiles (four Factory, four User) as its current operating configura

There is also a function in the Maintenance application that specifies which of its four UseProfiles the modem channel is to load when it is powered up. If you want the DSE to load

In addition to the profiles, which are stored in the DSE itself, you can store configuration seon the workstation that runs the TEAM 5034 application as templates. The application usefilename extension “.tpl” to identify template files. You can store as many templates as you

Template Operations

The Main Configuration window File menu includes the selections Load Template, Save tTemplate, and Compare to Template.

To load configuration settings from a template into the DSE you must perform the following steps:

1. Select Load Template from the File menu and make a selection from the resulting Template window. The application retrieves the configuration settings of the selectedplate.

2. Select Save to Unit from the File menu, and save the configuration as Profile 0, 1, 2The application stores the configuration settings from the template as the designated and makes them the current operating configuration for the modem channel.

To save configuration settings as a template you must perform the following steps:

1. After completing all your modifications to the configuration, select Save to Template the File menu. A Select Template window appears, containing a list of existing tempand a field for entering a new template name.

2. You can select an existing template to be overwritten with the new configuration, or a name to create a new template. Do not type the .tpl extension when entering a filethe application appends the extension automatically. A stored template is availableloaded by the application and then saved as a profile, with or without further modificato any DSE modem channel.

To compare the current operating configuration settings to the settings stored in a templatmust perform the following steps:

1. Select Compare to Template from the File menu and make a selection from the restingSelect Template window. The application compares the configuration displayed on-screento the settings of the selected template.

2. The application displays the differences between the two configurations, identifyingoption that is set differently, the window in which it occurs, its on-screen setting, and template setting.

Configuration ProcedureThe following steps describe how to use the configuration application, and illustrate the funcof the Main Configuration window menus.

1. Access the Main Configuration window, either from the submap or from the Front Pdisplay. The application reads the current Main configuration of the modem channelthe DSE when you open the Main window.

You can select to base your configuration changes on either the current configuratiostored configuration template. In either case, the DSE modem channel continues to ousing its unchanged current configuration.

You can close a configuration window without losing changes by clicking on either theOK button or the pushpin icon, which is located in the upper left corner of the window.

You can keep multiple configuration windows open on-screen and move between theclicking the mouse on the one in which you intend to operate. The Main Configuration window remains on-screen throughout the configuration process.

5. When you have accessed all the configuration windows that you need to and madeyour changes, click on the File menu button of the Main Configuration window. From thamenu you can select Save to Unit to save the new configuration as a profile in the DSE,select Save to Template to save it as a template in the workstation.

6. When you select Save to Unit, a menu of Profile 0 through Profile 3 and Temporary Pappears. Select one of the five alternatives.

If you select Profile 0, 1, 2 or 3, the application saves the changed configuration in theas the selected User Profile and it becomes the current configuration for the DSE mchannel. A stored profile is available only to the modem channel to which it is saved

If you select Temporary Profile, the application makes the changed configuration thecurrent configuration for the DSE modem channel. As a Temporary Profile, it is not stto non-volatile memory, and would be lost in the event of power interruption or unit r

7. When you select Save to Template, a Select Template window appears containing aexisting templates and a field for entering a new template name. You can select an etemplate to be overwritten with the new configuration, or enter a name to create a newplate. A stored template is available to be loaded by the application and then saved afile, with or without further modification, to any SC 5034 DSE modem channel.

Remote Configuration ProcedureThe TEAM 5034 Configuration application enables you to configure a remote GDC V.34 mothat is connected to an SC 5034 modem channel. The following steps describe how to peremote configuration.

1. Access the Main Configuration window for the local modem channel. You can acceswindow either from the submap menu or from the Front Panel display.

2. Select Remote Configuration from the Navigate menu, then select Start Remote Co

If the local modem channel has a private line connection to its remote, the DSE breaconnection briefly and then re-establishes it to place the remote modem in a remoteconfiguration session. Go to step 4.

If the local modem channel is set up for switched line operation, a window appears in which to dial the remote modem.

3. In the dial window you can select to dial a number from one of the ten phone numbethe DSE stores for the modem channel, or you can input a number to be dialed. Selnumber you need to dial, by either method, then click on the Dial button. The modem nel dials the number, and establishes a remote configuration session when the remodem answers.

4. The application displays a submap that shows icons for the two modem channels of 5034 DSE and the connected remote modem. Highlight the remote modem icon by clon it.

5. Select Configure from the Administer menu of the submap. The application displayMain Configuration window for the remote modem.

6. Perform configuration on the remote modem as you would on a local modem channeconfiguration windows in which you perform the remote configuration are taken fromTEAM V.34 application. This is done in order to support some details of modem operthat are not present in the SC 5034 DSE modem channels that TEAM 5034 support

7. When all changes are complete, select Save to Unit from the remote modem Main Curation window File menu, and select from the choices Profile 0 through Profile 3 or Tporary Profile. Unlike the way local configuration operates, the application does not mthe new configuration the operating configuration at the remote modem at this point. Ihave selected Profile 0, 1, 2 or 3, the new configuration is stored to that profile in nonatile memory at this point.

8. From the remote modem Main Configuration window File menu, select either End ReConfig Update or End Remote Config No Update. The Update selection puts the newfiguration into effect as the operating configuration at the remote modem.

The effect of the No Update selection depends upon whether you specified a User Proor Temporary Profile in Step 7. If you assigned the configuration to a User Profile, the profile remains saved but the modem continues to operate with the configuration it hprior to the Remote Configuration session. If you assigned the configuration to TempoProfile, selecting End Remote Config No Update discards all changes.

9. Following either End Remote Config selection, the modem channel and the remote mreturn to the connection state they were in before the session – connected in data mset up for private line operation, or disconnected if set up for switched line operationremote modem Main Configuration window remains open until you exit from it.

General OptionsThe General Options configuration window contains three groups of options grouped undheadings Connect/Disconnect Criteria, Data Flow Criteria, Diagnostic Criteria, and PowerProfile. Some options are marked with an asterisk (*) to indicate that their settings may bedetermined or restricted by the Country Code, which is factory-configured in the DSE. Depending on the country and the option, a country code restriction may specify a fixed vait may limit the permitted range of values for an option. The DSE does not accept option vchanges that violate Country Code restrictions.
