Remote equipment list (info)

Every equipment has a remote equipment list stored in its own controller.

With remote equipment list we mean a list containing all the network remote equipment which you wishto connect to.

For a better vision of the equipment during the setting of the list, the equipment can be subdivided intostations in such a way that, when a station is selected, the application will display only the detail of theequipment associated with this specific station. The station does not have any particular meaning: it hasbeen simply introduced to help the user during the localization of the equipment.

In every remote equipment list, a maximum of 100 equipment and 30 stations can be created.

The remote equipment list can be used to connect, at the same time, to more equipment only if the pro-gram SCT/LMT is available.

When the user requests the connection to a generic equipment present into the network (local equipment),at the connection of this equipment, SCT/LMT program reads its remote equipment list and automaticallyforwards the connection command to all the equipment present into the list.

In this way, the application displays, in the Station List area of SCT/LMT graphical interface, all the stationsthat group the equipment and, in the Equipment List area (selecting the relevant station), it displays thefunctional status of the local equipment (that results in connected/login status) and the functional statusof all the remote equipment present in the list. The equipment which have answered to the connectionrequest of the application will result in connected/monitor status.

The application will cyclically forward the connection command, to the equipment which have not answeredto the connection request, until to:

• The connection with the local equipment is deactivated.• The user disables the equipment.• The equipment is deleted from the remote equipment list of the local equipment.

More details about SCT/LMT program are reported into the relevant manuals.


Contextual area

The contextual area is the part of the WEB LCT page where the equipment parameters are displayed.Its content changes accordingly to the selected command in the Equipment Menu area.

In the top part of the contextual area, there are push-buttons used to confirm or update the data presentin the area itself. Usually, there are:

Apply. Selecting it makes the changes, executed on the parameters present in the contextual area,effective.Its selection opens a confirmation window. The confirmation windows are timed. When this periodis elapsed (pointed out by the progress bar), if the user has not confirmed the operation, the windowis closed and the operation cancelled.If the push-button is not available:

• It is not possible to execute changes because the user profile does not allow this or theequipment is in connected/monitor status.

• No parameter present in the window has been modified. In this case, the push-button be-comes available when the value of a parameter is changed.

• Another push-button is present in the contextual area for the confirmation of the operationor the change of the parameters.

Refresh. Force the reading of the data from equipment.If the push-button is not available, the connection with the equipment is not active.

Help. Open the help on-line.

For some commands, other push-buttons are displayed relevant only to the context which contains them.These push-buttons are described in the paragraph relevant to the specific command.

Besides the push-buttons, the top part of the contextual area dynamically displays the group and the com-mand selected in Equipment Menu area and which the displayed parameters refer to.

For some commands, the parameters are subdivided in tabs. The selection of a tab dynamically changesthe content of the contextual area.

The parameters present in the contextual area can be read-only or set or modified.The description of the single commands (see Menu and commands (Equipment Menu) indicates the param-eters which can be modified and modalities to do that.Generally, for the parameter setting, the following rules are valid:

• Entering a value (alphanumeric string) in a text box.If a red line is displayed below the text box, the entered value is not allowed because, for ex-ample, a number of characters greater than the allowed one or an invalid value has been entered(for example, entering of value 172.18.70.334 as IP address).

• Box with possible values displayed in a drop-down menu.When the value is changed, a red triangle is displayed in the top left edge of the box. It signalsthat the value has been changed, but the change has not been communicated yet to the equip-ment (pressure of push-button Apply).


Equipment status area

The Equipment status area indicates the functional status of the equipment. Area/box:

Routing Table

The function of the Routing Table is the one to check the routing of the supervisory messages exchangedamong the elements (PCs, equipment, etc.), that use the TCP/IP protocol, from one network to the otherone.

Running Routing Table

Each equipment at its initialisation (start-up operation) automatically sets the elements of the Routing Ta-ble that identify the supervisory ports of the equipment (communication ports provided with the equipmentfor the input/output of the supervisory signal).These elements are set according to the IP addresses assigned to each port. If the user changes the IP address of a supervisory port, the system does not dynamically change it intothe equipment Routing Table. The equipment must be reset, because the elements of the Routing Tableare set at the equipment start-up.If necessary, the user can add some other elements to these ones (automatically set).The system records each new element (manually set) into the currently used Routing Table (Running Rout-ing Table) and into the backup memory of the equipment controller (Stored Routing Table); the systemdoes not record the elements (automatically set) into the backup memory of the controller because theyare newly set at every equipment start-up.The Running Routing Table is a static. The system updates this table, with the elements present in theStored Routing Table, at every equipment start-up.

Stored Routing Table

The equipment does not currently use the Stored Routing Table. This table becomes operative on theequipment restart.In fact, in this case, the system inserts the elements of the Stored Routing Table into the Routing Tableused by the equipment (Running Routing Table). What just said is valid only for the elements whose routerequipment (Hop) is associated to an active interface.The setting of the Stored Routing Table id necessary, for instance, when the user wants to change an ad-dress of the equipment supervisory ports.In this case, the currently used Routing Table (Running Routing Table) cannot be changed.The changes have to be inserted into the Stored Routing Table. At the next equipment start-up, the systeminserts the elements of the Stored Routing Table into the Routing Table used by the equipment.

Default Gateway

The system forwards to the equipment with the Default Gateway function the data that have a receiverunreachable through the routes present into the Routing Table.


Stored Routing Table


The Stored Routing Table command manages the static Routing Table and the Default Gateway addressstored in the equipment (Stored Routing Table and Stored Default Gateway).In detail, the command allows:

(4) Graphical representation of the measure results. This area displays, in graphical format, theresults of the control parameters of the selected measure/measurement unit.Every bar represents the result of the measure of one parameter in a given observation period (dailyor primary record). The position of the bar on the x-axis indicates the daily or primary record which it is referred to:

• C.D. X100. Current daily record (24 hours). The displayed value must be multiplied by 100to obtain the real measured value.

• L. D. x100. Preceding daily record. The displayed value must be multiplied by 100 to obtainthe real measured value.

• Curr. 15 Min. Current primary record (15 minutes).• 15Min. ÷ 4 Hours. 16 preceding primary records (each record is of 15 minutes).

Moreover, for every record the relevant status is displayed: (ML), (MF), (IN), (LO), (RE). The de-scription of every single status is reported in the following note. If the status indication is not pre-sent, the record is not available, because the measure was not active during the consideredobservation period.

The colour of the bar indicates the control parameter that corresponds to the value. The key of theparameters and their colours is always pointed out above the graph. The displayed control param-eters changes according to the selected measure/measuring unit (see note 3).

The position on the y-axis indicates the value achieved by the parameter during the specific obser-vation period (record). The measurement unit on the y-axis changes depending on the type of pa-rameter represented in the graph. Moreover the y-scale dynamically changes depending on theentity of the represented values.

(5) Table representation of the measure results. This area displays, in table format, the results ofthe control parameters of the selected measure/measurement unit.For every parameter, the result of the measure is pointed out relevant to a given observation period(daily or primary record). In detail, the column:

• Type. Control parameters. The control parameters changes according to the selected meas-ure/measuring unit (see note 3).

• Curr. Day. Current daily record (24 hours).• Last Day. Preceding daily record.• Curr. 15 Min. Current primary record (15 minutes).• 15Min. ÷ 4 Hours. 16 preceding primary records (each record is of 15 minutes).

What just said is valid from the second row of the table on, because the first row indicates the statusof the records (Count. Status). In detail, the wording:

• Meaningless (ML) (green) The record has been completely acquired and the measure is notaffected by errors.

• Meaningful (MF) (green) The record has been completely acquired and the measured controlparameters have not exceeded their threshold value.

• Incomplete (IN) (yellow) The record has not been completely acquired during the corre-sponding observation period.The measure starting record is always in this status. The daily record gets this status alsowhen only one primary record of the corresponding day is in incomplete status.The daily record of the current date will be always an incomplete one because the daily re-cords are acquired at 23.59 of each day.

• Lost (LO) (red) The record has not reached the main controller of the equipment for instancebecause the corresponding peripheral card has been physically extracted before it could haveforwarded the record itself or for generic hardware/software troubles.

• Restarted (RE) (red) The record has been lost after a reset of the equipment.When the equipment has a software restart and checks that the measure is activated for acertain measure point, all the record coupled with such a measure point will result in thisstatus.

• ---. The record is not an available one because, during the observation period under exam-ination, the measure was not activated.


(6) Status of the threshold exceeding alarms. This area displays the status of the threshold ex-ceeding alarms of the selected measure/measurement unit.Each box represents an alarm:

• 15M <control parameter>. Threshold exceeding alarm of the specific control parameter intoone of the primary observation periods (15 minutes) present into the window.

• 24H <control parameter>. Threshold exceeding alarm of the specific control parameter intoone of the daily observation periods (24 hours) present into the window.

• UAS. Unavailability alarm.

The colour of the boxes represents the alarm status and severity:• Red, Orange, Yellow, Light blue. Alarm activated coupled respectively with the Critical, Ma-

jor, Minor, Warning severity.• Green. Alarm activated coupled with the Status severity level.• Grey. Alarm deactivated.

The Rlt Thresh. boxes point out the threshold levels of the received power actually set. These pa-rameters can be configured by the user.

The Tlt Thresh. boxes point out the threshold levels of the transmitted power actually set. Theseparameters can be configured by the user.


Measures available for ALFOplus80 equipment

The measures available for the ALFOplus80 equipment are the following:G828 > Radio 1ARxPwr > Radio 1ATxPwr > Radio 1A

G828 > Radio 1A

The Radio 1A measure (G828 group) checks the quality of the received signal at radio side.The check consists of measuring the following quality parameters:

• BBE (Background Block Error). Number of blocks where it has been detected at least one er-rored bit not belonging to SES.

• ES (Errored Second). The second when there have been one or more errored blocks.• SES (Severely Errored Second). The second when there have been a percentage of errored

blocks > N% (the N value can be configured) or the second when it has been activated an alarmequivalent to the interruption of the signal at reception (Loss of Signal Alarm, Loss of FrameAlarm, B2 Excessive Ber Alarm, etc.).

• SEP (Severely Errored Period). Number of periods with a number of consecutive SES comprisedbetween 3 and 9. The sequence is ended by a second without SES.

• UAS (UnAvailable Seconds). Number of unavailability seconds.The counting of the seconds starts after P consecutive seconds with SES presence and it endsat the beginning of a period of Q consecutive seconds without SES. The P seconds are countedinto the unavailability period. The Q and P values can be configured.

The parameters are implemented according to G.828 ITU-T Rec.

RxPwr > Radio 1A

The Radio 1A measure (RxPwr group) checks the power of the signal at reception.The check consists of measuring the following quality parameters:

• TMMax (Tide Mark Max). Maximum value reached by the power at reception (RL) during theobservation period (15 min or 24 hours).

• TMMin (Tide Mark Min). Minimum value reached by the power at reception (RL) during the ob-servation period (15 min or 24 hours).

• Average Level. Average level of the power at reception (RL) during the observation period (15min or 24 hours).

• Rlts (Received Level Threshold Second). Number of seconds where it has been detected thatthe value of the power at reception (RL - Received Level) is lower than the pre-defined thresholdlevel. It is possible to define up to a maximum of 5 threshold levels.

The parameters are implemented according to Standard EN 301 129 of the ETSI.

TxPwr > Radio 1A

The Radio 1A measure (TxPwr group) checks the power of the signal at transmission.The check consists of measuring the following quality parameters:

• TMMax (Tide Mark Max). Maximum value reached by the power at transmission (TL) during theobservation period (15 min or 24 hours).

• TMMin (Tide Mark Min). Minimum value reached by the power at transmission (TL) during theobservation period (15 min or 24 hours).


• Average Level. Average level of the power at transmission (TL) during the observation period(15 min or 24 hours).

• Tlts (Transmitted Level Threshold Second). Number of seconds where it has been detected thatthe value of the power at transmission (TL - Transmitted Level) is higher than the pre-definedthreshold level. It is possible to define up to a maximum of 4 threshold levels.

The parameters are implemented according to Standard EN 301 129 of the ETSI.


PM measures (info)

A PM measure consists of recording, during a pre-defined time range (observation period), the values ofspecific parameters.Some threshold limits have been assigned to these control parameters (the setting of the thresholds canbe changed).The exceeding of the threshold limit indicates a more or less serious degradation of the signal. This condi-tion generates an alarm.The alarms relevant to the threshold exceeding are treated by the equipment and by the application asnormal alarms. The only exception is that the alarm is not automatically reset at the return into the thresh-old limit but the user has to execute the reset of this kind of alarms.The control parameters under examination change according to the equipment type and to the measuretype supported by that type of equipment. Usually, all the executed measures refer to ITU-T Recommen-dations (for instance G.828, G.826, etc.).

The activation (and the deactivation) of the PM measures can be executed only after a command forwardedby the user.When it has been activated a PM measure, the main controller of the equipment starts the storing of thevalues relevant to the control parameters. The results of the measures are sub-divided into records. Eachrecord contains the values recorded into a specific time range (observation period).If at the end of the observation period, the measure has not yet been deactivated the system starts anotherobservation period and so on until when the operator stops the measure.The equipment group the results of the PM measures into observation period of 15 minutes (primary re-cords) and of 24 hours (daily records).

The observation periods cannot be synchronized with the instant when the measure is activated, but thisrecords refer, for the primary records, to the quarter of an hour (00.00, 00.15, 00.30, etc.) and, for thedaily records, to the time 00.00 UTC (Universal Time, Coordinated).For instance, if a measure starts at 11.40, the first primary record will have as observation period the time11.40...11.45 (corresponding to the time range 11.30...11.45), while the first daily record will have as ob-servation period 11.40...00.00.

When the user requires the display of the results of the PM measures, the daily and primary records rele-vant to the running PM measures are displayed in the WEB LCT page of the equipment.

For each type of measure, the equipment keeps stored the current records and also the last 16 primaryrecords (corresponding to the last 4 hours) and the last daily one (corresponding to the preceding day).The preceding records are overwritten. When the operator stops a measure, the system stores the uncompleted current record.

If the operator activates and deactivates the measure more times during the same observation period, thesystem will store the record that contains the results of the last executed measure. For instance if the measure has been activated at 9.02 and deactivated at 9.07, then it has been newlyactivated at 9.09, the record relevant to the observation period 9.00...9.15 will contain the results of themeasures relevant to the period 9.09...9.15, while the ones relevant to the period 9.02...9.07 will not bestored.

If some PM measures are in progress on an equipment and this is restarted or turned off, at the next re-start/start-up the measures active before the turn-off will be automatically restarted. The records (primary and daily), relevant to the period when the measure has been stopped, will resultempty and when the limit of 16 primary records and 1 daily one is reached, they will overwrite the previousrecords.

SNTP functionality (info)

ALFOplus80 equipment, via SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol) protocol, can update its date/time usingan element within the network as reference (SNTP functionality).

Via WEB LCT (or SCT/LMT) application, a maximum of two elements can be defined, one main (set in theMain Server IP Address box) and one secondary (set in the Reserve Server IP Addr box), from which theequipment automatically gets the reference date/time each n seconds (set in the Polling Interval box). En-tering a valid value for the main and/or secondary element activates the functionality.

If the main element does not answer to the request of updating of the equipment reference date/time, thisrequest is sent for n times (set in the Polling Retries box) each t seconds (set in the Polling Timeout box).At the end of this requests, if the main element does not answer, the equipment requires the updating ofthe date/time to the secondary element.

If the secondary element does not answer to the request of updating of the equipment reference date/time, this request is sent for n times each t seconds. At the end of this request, if the secondary elementdoes not answer the equipment, the system activates the SNTP servers lost Alarm and requires the updateof the date/time of the main element and so on.

If no network element set can be reached, the reference date/time of the equipment is not updated. Thiscondition is signalled by the activation of NTP Server Lost Alarm (SNTP tab).

To deactivate the automatic acquisition of the reference date/time, the IP address of the main and second-ary elements must be reset.

Wake Up functionality (info)

The Wake Up functionality allows the user enabling the spontaneous forward, from the equipment to a re-mote server, of a SNMP trap for the notification of the equipment commissioning (Wake Up trap).

This functionality has been implemented as help to the Auto Discovery modality available in the supervisionsystems NMS5UX, NMS5UX-B and NMS5LX.

The Auto Discovery mode has the purpose to point out new equipment in the network, not managed bythe supervision system yet. More information about the Auto Discovery modality is reported in the relevantdocumentation.

This chapter shows only the management of the Wake Up trap by the equipment. In detail, the implemen-tation of the Wake Up functionality is the following.

Via WEB LCT (or SCT/LMT) application, it is possible:• Define the IP address of the server where the supervision system, which the trap must be sent

to (NMS IP Address option - Wake Up tab) is installed.• Define the time interval for which the trap must be sent, after which the sending of the trap is

automatically disabled (Timeout option).If the value 0 is set for the Timeout option, the Wake Up trap will be sent until when the usermanually disables it or the NMS server automatically disables it when intercepts it.

• Activate and deactivate the sending of the trap.To activate the Wake Up functionality, it is necessary to set a valid value (different from 0.0.0.0)for the IP address of the server (NMS IP Address option) and select the Enable option.To deactivate the functionality, it is necessary to select the Disable option or reset the NMS IPAddress option (value 0.0.0.0).

When the Wake Up functionality is activated, the equipment starts sending the Wake Up trap every minutefor the time interval defined by the user (Timeout option). For example, if the value 60 has been set astimeout, the trap is sent each 60 minutes. At the end of 60 minutes, the sending of the trap is automaticallydisabled.

If, in the period when the sending of the trap is enabled, the supervision system intercepts the Wake Upnotification records the presence of the new equipment in its database and disables the sending of theWake Up trap by the equipment (trap switch-off).

Equipment firmware (info)

The firmware of the equipment is the assembly of all the firmware necessary for the management of theentire equipment (firmware of the main controller and firmware of the peripheral units).

The firmware of the equipment is present into the main controller that is provided with two memory bench-es (bench) the first one on service and the other one in waiting status.

Each bench can contain one firmware version (also different from the other one) of the equipment.

It is possible to update the equipment sw/fw relevant to one memory bench only at a time. The applicationautomatically updates the firmware of the memory bench not running or not present (Bench Status pa-rameter - Loaded or Not Loaded value).

Factory Default of the equipment (info)

Through the graphical interface WEB LCT, the Factory Default settings of an equipment can be restored.

At the restart or at the new switch-on of the equipment, the Factory Default configuration will be applied.

All the settings executed until then by the user will be deleted (for example, user list, remote equipmentlist, etc.).

In Factory Default status, the connection to the equipment and to the link takes place by means of theEthernet port AUX and using the connection modality Out of Band.

In order to login to the equipment, the default user must be used. Username: SYSTEM - Password: siae-micr.

The communication ports of the equipment will be restored to the addresses pointed out in Tab.2.

These addresses differ depending on the type (High or Low) of ODU. The equipment keeps always in mem-ory the type (High or Low) of the last connected ODU.

Tab.2 Factory Default - ALFOplus80

IF THE EQUIPMENT IS INSERTED INTO AN IP NETWORK

Rescue connection (info)

If the user has lost the connection with the equipment because of a wrong configuration of the connectionparameters, the recovery procedure can be used (rescue connection).

At switch-on, the equipment opens a time window of 20 seconds during which it makes itself reachable onthe LAN 1 and LAN 2 using the rescue connection address and accepts the user login through the correctusername and password. In this modality, the LAN 1 and LAN 2 accepts only frames without VLAN tag.

The rescue connection IP address is: 172.20.253.13.

Once logged in, the user can configure the equipment and possible, restore the Factory Default condition.

The detection of the time window during which the rescue connection can be attempted is managed by anexternal software application.

Alarm and status signalsEnabling/disabling the alarmsEnabling/disabling the forwarding of the alarm trapsAlarm severity

Alarm and status signals

The term alarm defines the fault signal generated by an error or malfunction of the equipment or of anycomponent that composes it.The term status identifies instead the signals referring to any event that does not indicates a malfunctionbut a status change, an operation in progress or an operating indication.The term event defines each single signal of status, detected alarm and cleared alarm.A maximum of 400 events are recorded in the equipment controller. When this limit is exceeded, each newevent will overwrite the oldest event.

Enabling/disabling the alarms

The equipment alarms can be disabled and re-enabled by the user according to the needs.Disabling an alarm means that, on the detection of the alarm itself, this is not registered in the equipmentcontroller and, as consequence, is not communicated to a possible management program: as the alarmhad never occurred.On the contrary, enabling an alarm (default condition) means that, when the alarm is detected, this is reg-istered in the equipment controller and, if the forwarding of the relevant trap is enabled (see next item),the alarm is communicated to the management system and displayed in the current alarms and the historyalarms.

WARNING The enabling/disabling of the alarm is independent for each alarm and local to the equipmentwhich the operation is executed for. This means that the setting must be executed for each single alarmof each single equipment.

Enabling/disabling the forwarding of the alarm traps

The trap is a message (in this case of detection or clearing of an alarm) spontaneously sent by the equip-ment to a possible external management system, for example SCT/LMT and/or NMS5UX/NMS5UX-B/NMS5LX.The forwarding of the trap of each alarm can be disabled and re-enabled by the user according to his ownneeds.Disabling a trap means that, on the detection of the alarm, this is not registered in the equipment controllerand, as consequence, is not communicated to a possible management program.On the contrary, enabling a trap (default condition) means that, on the detection of the alarm, this is reg-istered in the equipment controller and communicated to the management system, which displays it in thecurrent alarms and the history alarms.

WARNING The enabling/disabling of the forwarding of the trap is independent for each alarm and local tothe equipment which the operation is executed for. This means that the setting must be executed for eachsingle alarm of each single equipment.

Alarm severity

Each alarm acknowledged and managed by the management program has an associated severity levelwhich determinates the importance of the alarm.This severity is not fixed, but can be changed by the user as he likes.

Management of synchronisationSynchronism sources

Enabling of the synchronism sourcesPriority of the synchronism sourceForcing of a synchronism sourceFunction of preferential synchronism source

Internal synchronism T0

Management of synchronisation

ALFOplus80 equipment can be configured to operate with synchronisation enabled or disabled.When the synchronisation is disable, the synchronisation is not managed: the clocks are generated by thelocal internal reference.When the synchronisation is enabled, the synchronism source, enabled with the highest priority, is usedto synchronise the equipment (if a forcing or a preferential is not active).The user can enable or disable the management of synchronisation as he wishes (see Synchronisation).

Synchronism sources

The equipment has more synchronism sources.TE LAN-1. Source extracted from the LAN 1 of Ethernet Switch (electrical or optical interface).TE LAN-2. Source extracted from the LAN 2 of Ethernet Switch (electrical interface).T2 Radio. Source extracted from the Radio 1A.Internal. Source extracted from an its own internal reference (12,8MHz STRATUM 3).

WARNING If the TE LAN-1 and TE LAN-2 sources are not available, this means that the SyncE functionalityis not enabled for the equipment (see Verify the functionalities enabled for the equipment).

Enabling of the synchronism sources

A synchronism source, in order to be used, must be enabled by the user (see Enable/disable the use of asynchronism source).

Priority of the synchronism source

A priority level can be associated to every synchronism source (see Modify the use priority of a synchronismsource).

The source with the highest priority level and whose signal is valid, is used to synchronize the equipment(if a forcing or a preferential source is not active).

The priority level of the synchronism source is pointed out by a number between 1 and 9, where 1 indicatesthe highest priority and 9 the lowest one.

Generally the equipment takes the synchronism from the source with the highest priority level: if thissource is missing or is degraded, the synchronism is taken from the source with priority level immediatelylower.


When the source with highest priority level returns to be valid, the equipment after the WTR time will au-tomatically start to use it to take the synchronism. If all the synchronism sources (set by the user) becomeunavailable, the equipment automatically takes the synchronism from its own internal reference.

The degradation of the signal is caused by the presence of, at least, one of the following conditions:• The source is not physically present.• The difference between the source frequency and the internal reference source (STRATUM 3) is

greater than ± 7 ppm.

If two or more sources with the same priority are activated, these sources will be inserted into a circularand not Revertive list.

Forcing of a synchronism source

This function foresees the user can force the selection of one synchronism source (see Force the use of asynchronism source).

This forcing is made without considering the status and the priority of the source.

This function must not be used for the normal operation of the synchronism. It is a maintenance operationand remains active until the user disables it or the Timeout period of the manual operations expires (if set).

Function of preferential synchronism source

This function foresees the choice of a source to use as preferential among those enabled (see Set a syn-chronism source as preferential).

When the function of preferential source is not active, the internal synchronism is taken from the enabledsource with highest priority.

When the function of preferential source is activated for a source, this source will be used (in absence ofalarms causing its degradation or forced sources) to take the internal synchronism independently from itspriority level.

This condition is maintained until when the user disables the function of preferential source or the sourcesignal becomes degraded.

Internal synchronism T0

The synchronism source, which the internal synchronism T0 is extracted from, is determined by the SETSof the equipment according to the following order of criteria:

• Status of the source (enabled/disabled)• Forcing of the source• Status of the signal (valid/degraded)• Preferential source• Source priority

The internal synchronism T0 can assume one of the following statuses:• Free Running. The status of Free Running is forced (synchronism T0 is generated by the equip-

ment internal reference - Internal Source).• Hold Over. The status of Hold Over is forced.• Locked. The synchronism is locked to an external source.

The user can force the status of the internal synchronism T0 (see Force the status of T0 synchronisation).The forcing of the status Hold Over or Free Running is not the normal operation of the synchronism T0.These forcings are maintenance operations and remain active until when the user does not disable themor the Timeout period of the manual operation expires (if set).

MAC Addr. Aging Time. Validity period of the MAC addresses, stored in the MAC Table.

Egress Priority Policy. Emptying algorithm of the packets present in the output queue: • 8421 WRR, indicates that a part (8 messages) of the queue with highest priority is empties,

then a part of the queue with lower priority (4 messages), then a part of the queue with fur-ther lower priority (2 messages), then a part of the queue with lowest priority (1 message)and so on restarting from the queue with highest priority.

• Strict Priority, indicates that the queue with highest priority is completely emptied (sendingof all the messages) before sending a message of the queue with lower priority.

• Strict 3, indicates that the high priority queue 3 is completely emptied (sending of all themessages). The other queues (2, 1, 0) are managed with a WRR 421 mechanism.

• Strict 3 and 2, indicates that the high priority queue 3 and queue 2 are completely emptied.The other queues (1, 0) are managed with a WRR 21 mechanism.

802.1p Priority Management. This table indicates which output queue a packet, in input to anyEthernet port, must be assigned to, depending on its 802.1p priority Tag.The rows of the table correspond to the output queue available in the equipment. Each Ethernet portof the equipment has four output queue, which the packets in input from other ports are sent to:

• Queue 0. Queue with 0 priority (low priority).• Queue 1. Queue with 1 priority.• Queue 2. Queue with 2 priority. • Queue 3. Queue with 3 priority (high priority).


The columns of the table (0 ÷ 7) correspond to the Tag 802.1p value of the packet in input to a portof the equipment.The active option indicates which output queue (Queue…) the packet in input is associated to, whosevalue of priority Tag (802.1p) corresponds to the value 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7. The 802.1p Priority Management table is COMMON to all the Ethernet port of the equipment.

Addition of S-TAG (QinQ – Double Tag) in a packet with C-TAG

This functionality allows adding a second TAG (S-TAG) in output to an already tagged packet in input, onthe basis of the values of the port in input.Necessary conditions are:

• The input/radio ports of the local switch are configured in Fallback and the output ports of re-mote switch in Fallback (Provider Enable).

• In VLAN table, a VLAN is configured equal to the parameter Default Vid of the port in input, de-fined as Unmodified for the input port and Tagged for the port in output.

The S-TAG added to the packet in output from the switch will be composed by:• Ethernet Type defined in Ethernet Switch QinQ Eth type (default 0x9100)• Default VID of the input port which the packet comes from.• Default Pbit of the input port which the packet comes from, if 802.1p is disabled• Origin Pbit (possibly re-mapped) of the packet in input if 802.1p is enabled (or remapping is

enable)Notes:

• When the Switch works at S-TAG level, C-TAG is left unchanged.

Analysing the priority

The equipment allows analysing the priority at level 2, according to the standard 802.1p (values 0…7), orat level 3 (PTOS/DSCP field).

If the analysis of the priority at level 2 is active and prioritary, a packet in input from any Ethernet port ofthe equipment, with a valid Tag value of priority 802.1p, will be automatically assigned to one of the fourqueues of the output port, according to what pointed out in the table 802.1p Priority Management.

If the analysis of the priority at level 3 is active and prioritary, the field PTOS/DSCP present in the headingof the IP packets (values 0÷63) will be considered.

The priority standard can be modified by the user and is common to all the Ethernet ports.

MAC Table

The MAC Table is a table created by the Ethernet Switch to keep trace of the reachability of the equipmentpresent in the network.For the editing of the MAC Table, the Switch uses the MAC address (source) of the packets in input and thenumber of the port through which a packet enters in the Switch as information source.The source MAC of a packet in input to the Switch is subjected to Learning operation and possibly registeredin MAC Table.The destination MAC of a packet in input to the Switch is subjected to search operation. If it is found inMAC Table as source MAC of another user, the port associated to it is used as destination of the consideredtraffic.If the destination MAC Address is not present in the MAC Table, the Switch transmits the frame on all itsown interfaces, excluding only that where the frame itself has been received.A MAC address stored in the table is automatically deleted from the table itself if not used within a giventime period (Aging Time).

The address learning in MAC Table is usually automatic.ALFOplus80 equipment allow enabling/disabling the learning of Source MAC Addresses according to differ-ent criteria select able by the user:

1.Automatic learning on a single MAC Table.2.Automatic learning on different MAC Tables indicized by:

a. Native VID of a VLAN 802.1Q, if the input port is in Fallback or Secure and the considered VLANis registered in VLAN Table Unit (VTU).

b. Port default VID, if the incoming traffic is Untagged or, if tagged, the option 802.1Q is disabledon the considered port or if the native VID of the incoming traffic is NOT registered in VTU. Inpractice, in this condition the partition of MAC Table is made on port basis.

3.Learning disabled; in this condition MAC Table is not used.

The learning on VID basis is common to all the ports and the option is select able at global level.The learning on port basis can be selected independently for every different LAN.The automatic learning on a single MAC Table and the possible disabling of Learning can be selected on thesingle LANs (LAN) and internal port (Radio).If options a. and b. are selected at the same time, option a. has priority.

By means of the application, it is possible:• Delete the content of the MAC Table on the equipment.• Define the validity period of the addresses stored in the MAC Table of the equipment (parameter

MAC Addr. Aging Time).• Define if the learning of the Source Addresses must be made on a common MAC Table or on

specific partitions for every single VID registered in VLAN Table Unit (VTU) (parameter MACLearning Vid basis).

• Enable/disable the automatic learning of MAC Address within the VTU for every single port ofthe Ethernet Switch and, if enabled, to define if this learning must be made on a single MACTable common to the whole Switch or on a partition specific for the port (parameter MAC Learn-ing).

Implementation of the RMon standard in the equipment managed by WEB LCT

ALFOplus80 equipment implements the RMon standard with the modalities described here below:RMon StandardOutline on the operation of RMon standardManagement from Web LCT of the statistics counters foreseen by RMON standardEthernet counters (RMon)

RMon Standard

RMon (Remote Monitoring) is a standard whose function is providing a set of services of statistics count,monitoring and alarm report with reference to the activity of a LAN network.These services are defined in terms of MIB (Management Information Base) group described in the docu-ment RFC2819 - Remote Network Monitoring Management Information Base, which must be read for anyfurther detail.

Outline on the operation of RMon standard

The RMon standard is based on two components: an agent (RMon probe) and a client (remote managementstation).The agent saves the data within its own RMon tables present on the network devices (equipment, routers,etc.). The RMon probes can see only the traffic flowing through themselves and therefore are located oneach (internal/external) port of the Ethernet Switch of the device to monitor.The remote management station communicates with the RMon agent to obtain and correlate the RMon da-ta. Generally, the station is equipped with an interface (graphic or textual) which allows the display andthe analysis of the collected RMon data.

Management from Web LCT of the statistics counters foreseen by RMON standard

With reference to what depicted in the previous paragraph, the RMon functionality allows the analysis ofthe data collected by the probes present on each (internal/external) port of the Ethernet Switch of theequipment in compliance with the RMon standard (RMon MIB group: History).In order to store in the equipment and display the statistics history of a port, it is necessary to activate themeasure on the port (see Activate the collection of the statistic counters for an Ethernet port). The collec-tion of the statistic counters on this port will remain active until when an user (WEB LCT or SCT/LMT) doesnot deactivate it (see Deactivate the collection of the statistic counters for an Ethernet port).Once the measure is activated, the probes collect the statistic data, which are stored in the RMon table ofthe equipment. The storing takes place each 60 seconds (sampling range).The equipment stores these data into a rotation buffer where, when full, the new information overwritesthe old ones (value set to 240 samples which allow storing 4 hours in the equipment).The data relevant to the statistics are available to the user and displayed, in form of table, subdivided bysingle Ethernet port (see Display the values of statistical counters of an Ethernet port).WEB LCT displays the history of the last two hours with intervals of 1 minute.During the count, the display of the data in the Remote Monitoring <porta Ethernet> window can be inter-rupted. This operation does not interrupt the count, but freezes only the data present in the window. Infact, when the data update is re-activated, the window displays the values of all the sampling ranges (upto a maximum of 120), even those stored in the equipment while the window was freezed.


Ethernet counters (RMon)

The description of the counters is the same reported for the counters of the packets/bytes in input/outputfrom an Ethernet port (see Lan Statistics).The only difference is the name of the counter which, in some cases, change from the RMon counters withrespect to the Lan Statistics counters.Ethernet counters denomination (RMon) reports the correspondence of the names for the Ethernet RMoncounters.

The counter Utilization is meaningful only as RMon counter and has the following definition: estimate ofthe average utilization of the port in the sampling interval expressed as hundredths of percentage.

The percentage of usage of the radio port refers to the bit rate of the port at the Switch (1Gbit/s) and notto the available radio band.

The percentage of usage of the LANs instead refers to the real bit rate of the port (10Mbit/s, 100Mbit/s or1Gbit/s).
