1. LCT OPERATION

LCT OPERATION
1.1 OVERVIEW OF LCT
LCT is a universal version of LCT which can be used as a centralized baseline to develop LCT applications for SDH NEs. LCT supports your provisioning and monitoring tasks by allowing you to: Control security Monitor the NE shelf condition Provision parameters Accumulate and report a variety of data Troubleshoot command logs if problems arise

LCT provides you with a pop-up representation of the shelf layout diagram for each NE. This diagram, called the shelf picture, shows the equipment configurations implemented by combinations of plug-in units. You can view unit information or provision units by selecting the unit(s) and choosing a LCT menu command.

1.1.1

Access to Network Elements

Connecting LCT to any network element (NE) in an SRT 1F network enables LCT to access all NEs in the network. This connection can be direct, using an RS-232 cable between the LCT terminal and the LCT, or it can be remote, via a modem link or packet switched network (PSN). LCT allows concurrent logon to up to three NEs. If the network includes several NE types, the users PC must include the LCT software for each system type to enable logon to each NE.

1.1.2

User-friendly Interface
LCT is designed with the user in mind. All LCT products have a uniform look and feel. Color graphics provide detailed visual information, and the software features point-and-click mouse control. Upon logon to an NE, LCT automatically queries the NE for an inventory of its resources and then translates this inventory into a shelf layout display on the computer screen. This display simulates the view of the SRT 1F shelf. The screen also displays alarm and status information. The on-line help feature provides additional information about commands and procedures.

1.1.3

Enhanced Graphics
LCTs enhanced shelf layout graphics provide a three-dimensional representation of the shelf. In operating mode, the units appear to protrude from the shelf. During provisioning activities, the units appear recessed when selected by a user.

1.1.4

Status and Performance Monitoring

Complete alarm, status, physical inventory, performance monitoring (PM), and provisioning information is available in information windows such as log and report windows. PM data is summarized and stored in 15-minute intervals as well as in a scrolling 24-hour history window. This information is available for each unit on a particular NE shelf and can be retrieved from the NE on demand using LCT. When a user is logged on to an NE, a summary of NE alarms or status information appears on the LCT screen.

1.1.5

Provisioning
Provisioning for all units, service states, synchronization, and other features can be performed locally for any NE that is accessed by LCT. The protection switching threshold and PM parameters can also be set with LCT.

1.1.6

Security Levels
LCT provides a security system to prevent unauthorized access. To access an NE, a user must enter an assigned user name and password. In addition, each user is assigned an appropriate privilege level. This security assignment gives users access to only the specific operations necessary to accomplish their tasks. User privileges are assigned by a system manager. The system manager can add users, delete users, and change user privilege levels. Note: For details, refer to Chapter 1.5, NETWORK ELEMENT MANAGEMENT.

1.1.7

Command Logs
The LCT command logs provide a record of all commands sent from LCT and the responses from the NE. Each message is tagged with the date and time. This information can be printed and filed, simplifying record keeping, troubleshooting, and network administration.

1.1.8

TL1 Commands
TL1 commands and responses are used for all communication between an NE and a local terminal. LCT translates selections made by a user with the point-and-click interface into the equivalent TL1 command and sends the command to the NE. LCT then translates the response message from the NE into a graphical representation on the PC screen.

1.1.9

Operating Conventions
This manual employs visual cues, standard text formats, and some special terminology to help the reader locate and interpret information easily, as explained here. SRT 1F 911-362/02A0100 Issue 1, July 2002

1. LCT OPERATION

As in all Windows applications, the menu options in LCT use certain conventions to indicate that additional options or information follows. Table 1-7 describes these conventions. Table 1-7 - Windows menu conventions
Menu Convention Dimmed command Description

A dimmed command is not currently available. Something has to be selected before the command can be used, or the command cannot be used with the application. An ellipsis after a command indicates that a dialog box will appear when the command is chosen. The dialog box provides additional information to carry out the command. A check mark next to a command indicates that the command is active. This convention is used with commands that toggle between one state and another. A key combination after a command is a shortcut for the command. The key combination can be used to choose the command without opening the menu. A command followed by a triangle has a pull-down menu that lists additional commands.

Dialog Boxes Super Dialogs are created dynamically at run time and are used in most of the operations after logon. Data validation, range checking, default value, and field dependencies are handled in the Super dialogs. One super dialog can have up to 128 fields. Some fields have default values shown when the dialog comes up. Field dependency is another feature of this platform. Some fields in a TL1 command have a range of values that are dependent on the values in other fields. In a Super Dialog, when you click on a button, a check box or a radio button inside Super Dialog Fields, a different set of values will appear in other fields. LCT uses dialog boxes to provide facility- and equipment-specific options and request information from the user. Once you have entered the necessary information in the dialog box, you usually activate the command by clicking the OK button. Figure 1.11 shows typical dialog boxes used in LCT.

Initial Setup
A signal path needs to be established between the PC running LCT and the NE. This section describes the procedure for making the connections and explains how to configure LCT to communicate with the NE.

1.3.4.1

Connection Modes Three modes are available to connect the computer to an NE: RS-232 Connection: You can use a direct connection from a serial port on the PC to the local terminal connector on the SV card of SRT 1F. Modem Connection: If you are remote from the SRT 1F site, you can establish a phone line connection using a modem. A dial-up modem at the NE site is connected. PAD to PSN Connection: In a packet switched network (PSN), you can use packet assembler-disassembler (PAD) connection mode.

1.3.4.2

Setting LCT Options You can set the LCT options before or after logon to an NE. Any changes made to the LCT options are saved for later sessions, eliminating the need to reset them at subsequent logons. Follow these steps to set the options: 1. Choose File -> Preferences. The Preferences dialog box with the default settings shown in Figure 1.14 appears.

TL1 Batch Commands

You can send TL1 commands to an NE in two ways: You can use the LCT TL1 command interface to send commands one at a time. You can create a batch file that sends the NE a list of commands to be executed one after another.

LCTs TL1 command interface makes entering the correct syntax and parameters for commands easy. All you need to do to enter a command is point and click. After logon to the NE, you can send commands to the NE through the TL1 command interface. A batch file allows you to send an entire set of TL1 commands created using LCTs TL1 command interface. The batch file automatically sends one command after the other, in sequence; as soon as the NE finishes processing one command, the next command is sent. Since the commands are saved in a file, they can be used over and over to perform the same task. The batch file can also be copied to multiple systems for use by other people. Batch files are sent through LCTs TL1 command interface after logon to an NE, but you can create batch files at any time, whether or not you are logged on. 1.3.5.1 Creating a Batch File To create batch command files using LCTs TL1 command interface, follow these steps: 1.

Shelf Picture
Since the SRT 1F is configured with multiple shelves, LCT provides several ways to view the shelves. Figure 1.43 represents the PC display that results from logon to a single SRT 1F NE. LCT uses information received from the NE to draw a picture of the NE with the various shelf pictures cascaded on the screen, one for each shelf in the NE. As each shelf is logged on, it appears on top of the stack.

Figure 1.43 - LCT Working Window The shelf pictures are contained in separate windows within the NE window. Since multiple NEs can be logged on, use the Window menu in LCTs menu bar to affect the NE windows. To affect the shelf pictures within an NE, select the control menu box in the upper left corner of the shelf picture. Any actions performed in LCT, such as provisioning, affect the active shelf. The active shelf is the one on top of all others, or the shelf with the highlighted title bar. To activate a shelf, click on any visible portion of the shelf. This moves it to the top and highlights the title bar. It is also possible to activate the shelf by clicking on the control boxes of the other shelves until the necessary shelf window appears, or choosing the shelfs name in the Window menu.

TL1 COMMANDS
LCT allows you to generate and send Transaction Language 1 (TL1) commands. You can generate and send commands individually or in a batch file. Once you are logged on to the NE, you can choose one of two ways to send TL1 commands to an NE: Through a VT100 ASCII terminal By using the LCT TL1 command mode

This chapter explains how to use LCTs TL1 command interface to send commands and batch files to an NE.

1.4.1

LCT TL1 Command Interface

LCTs TL1 command interface makes entering the correct syntax and parameters for commands easy. All you need to do to enter a command is point and click. After logging on to the NE, you can send commands to the NE through the TL1 command interface. You can send commands one at a time, or you can send a batch file containing multiple TL1 commands.

1.4.2

Generating Individual TL1 Commands

To generate individual TL1 commands, do the following: 1. Choose TL1 -> TL1 Commands. The TL1 Commands dialog box appears.

Click Save As to save the commands.

1.4.5

Sending a TL1 Command Batch File

You can use a batch file to send an entire set of TL1 commands all at once. The batch file automatically sends one command after the other, in sequence. As soon as the NE finishes processing one command, the next one is sent. Since the commands are saved in a file, they can be used over and over to perform the same tasks. The batch files can also be copied to multiple systems for use by other people. Batch files are sent through LCTs TL1 command interface after logon to an NE. You can create batch files at any time, whether or not you are logged on. Note: For information on editing batch files, refer to par.1.3.5 TL1 Batch Commands. Follow these steps to send a batch file: 1. Click Open. Double-click the desired file name in the TL1 Batch Commands window. 2. Click Send.
