Hover the mouse over the ethernet card and select WAN Ports Property Configuration. (A WAN
port is a virtual port that connects to the line side). Click the Bandwidth Management button.

2010 Siemens AG

36

Surpass hiT 7025 and 7060 Commissioning Guide

Here you have to define a virtual concatenation group (VCG): a bandwidth that shall be used for the
WAN port. Select VC3 or VC12 and select the virtual containers that shall be used.

Enabling Alarms
By default, Alarms are disabled. In order to enable alarms on the hiT, select <Fault->Alarm Inhibit
Configuration> and remove the marker from the first check box. If needed, you can inhibit alarms
for specific cards or ports.

2010 Siemens AG

42

Configuration>. In this dialog, check the Enable out boxes.

2010 Siemens AG

43

Surpass hiT 7025 and 7060 Commissioning Guide

Clock Synchronization
Proper clock synchronization is mandatory for SDH systems. You need at least one external clock
source (PRC) for your network. In case you don't have one, you might consider taking the clock
from a PDH signal. By default, the hiT70xx uses the internal oscillator in free running mode. To
make the multiplexer using an external timing source, you have to add one in <Configuration>Synchronization Management>.

2010 Siemens AG

44

Surpass hiT 7025 and 7060 Commissioning Guide

Hover the mouse over the port that you want to use as clock source and select Add in the context
menu.

2010 Siemens AG

45

Surpass hiT 7025 and 7060 Commissioning Guide

Once a clock source is defined, you can change some parameters. Most important is the priority:
lower values outplay higher values. The hiT 70xx always selects the clock with the best quality, but
when several equal clocks are available, then the priority decides.

2010 Siemens AG

46

Surpass hiT 7025 and 7060 Commissioning Guide

The hiT is still working in free running mode. Press the <System Clock> button in the
Synchronization Management dialog, choose AutoSelection and activate this new setting by
pressing Set Mode.

2010 Siemens AG

47

Surpass hiT 7025 and 7060 Commissioning Guide

Protection
The hiT offers different methods of protection: hardware protection and path protection. If you have
e.g. a second cross connector card for hardware protection, the active one is identified by the ACT
LED. You can manually switch the active card by selecting <Configure->CC 1+1 Protection>. When
you select Manual Switch and the selected card becomes faulty, the multiplexer will still switch
over to the other card. However, when you select Forced Switch, the automatic switchover is
deactivated.

2010 Siemens AG

48

Surpass hiT 7025 and 7060 Commissioning Guide

In order to get hardware protection for E1 cards, you have to define an equipment protection group:
Select <Configuration->1:N Equipment Protection Management> and create a new group.

2010 Siemens AG

Surpass hiT 7025 and 7060 Commissioning Guide

After refreshing the main window you get a list of the defined protection groups.

2010 Siemens AG

50

Surpass hiT 7025 and 7060 Commissioning Guide

Path protection comes in different flavors. One is MSP (Multiplexer Section Protection). MSP can
be activated by selecting <Configuration->MSP Management> and then pressing the Create
button.

2010 Siemens AG

51

Surpass hiT 7025 and 7060 Commissioning Guide

Note: You have to set up MSP on the remote mutiplexer as well.

2010 Siemens AG

52

Surpass hiT 7025 and 7060 Commissioning Guide

Another method is MS-SPRing (Multiplexer Section Shared Protection Ring). MS-SPRing allows to
use the bandwidth, that is used for protection, for traffic as well, as long as to protection is active.
To set up MS-SPRing, select <Configuration->MS-SPRing Management> and press the Create
button.

Enter a name for the new ring, enter the number of network elements in the protected ring and click
OK.

Saving / Restoring the MIB

Select NE MIB Management->To Local Folder. The MIB Management dialog allows you to upload
the current configuration to your PC, to download a previously saved configuration to the hiT and to
erase the current configuration (this option is inactive until you've uploaded the current
configuration to your computer)

After uploading, find your file in <C:\Program Files\Nokia Siemens Networks\TNMS

CT\NStar\SURPASS hiT 7060 4.2\build\ftproot\mibs\X.X.X.X> where X.X.X.X is the IP address of
your hiT.
