Tellabs 8000 Intelligent Network Manager Planning Package

Plan and simulate your Tellabs network in advance.
Overview
The Tellabs 8000 Intelligent Network Manager is a powerful network and service management tool for the Tellabs 8600 Managed Edge System, the Tellabs 8100 Managed Access System, the Tellabs 6300 Managed Transport System, the Tellabs 8800 Multiservice Router Series and the Tellabs 7100 Optical Transport System. With these systems, service providers can offer managed TDM and Ethernet services over SDH, PDH and DWDM networks. Tellabs network solutions also enable IP VPN, Ethernet, ATM, FR, TDM and HDLC connectivity services in MPLS networks with capacities from n x 64 Kbps up to 10 Gbps. The Tellabs 8000 intelligent manager provides end-to-end management for 2G and 3G mobile transport applications, voice and data transport applications, carrier-class Intranet and Extranet services for corporate customers.

Features and Benets

The Planning Package supports the Tellabs 8100 system and the Tellabs 6300 system network elements. It contains 2 tools: Fault Simulator and the Network Capacity Calculator for planning purposes. In addition, the user may also plan the network in a simulation database with the normal Tellabs 8000 intelligent manager tools without having the actual hardware in place. Fault Simulator If a fault occurs in the Tellabs 8100 system network, the Recovery Management System (RMS) will try to remedy it by using the backup trunks or the free time slots in the primary trunks. The network operator can also issue recovery commands through the Recovery Control Program (RCPR), which is an operator interface to the RMS. No matter how the recovery works, the main issue is whether there are sufcient backup trunks in the network or primary trunks that contain enough free timeslots. Therefore the question of how to sufciently and economically arrange primary trunks and backup trunks is an important issue to be considered when planning a network or evaluating network performance. It is also possible to test network recovery without collecting real time data. The Fault Simulator (FSMR) is designed to serve this purpose. It simulates the faults that may occur in the real network and enables you to observe how the RMS reacts to faults. This tool is therefore very useful in nding potential shortages in recovery designs of the planned or existing network, such as a lack of redundancy or inefcient parameter setups.
The Network Capacity Calculator shows how trunks and circuit cross-connections are accomplished by nodes.

It is possible to run the Fault Simulator only in a simulation database. This prevents the Fault Simulator from disturbing the normal network operation. The Fault Simulator generates 2 types of faults trunk faults and node faults. It saves the faults in the database and sends them immediately to the RMS through a named pipe. The Fault Simulator is easy to use. Faults are introduced and removed by double-clicking on a node or a trunk with the mouse or via trunk and node lists in the corresponding dialog boxes. In addition, command scripts for fault generation can be recorded by the Macro Manager. Network Capacity Calculator In the Tellabs 8100 system network, digital signals are carried by trunks and circuit cross-connections are accomplished by nodes. The maximum amount of information ow through a trunk is called total trunk capacity, and the maximum cross-connect capability is called total node capacity. When user circuits are connected in the network, they take both trunk capacity and node capacity. Capacity used is called "used capacity", while unused capacity is called "free capacity".

Reporting The Network Capacity Calculator (NWCC) reports the network capacity. The report includes total, free and used capacity of trunks and nodes when circuit connections are made according to the customers demand. The NWCC is capable of calculating trafc between different nodes or locations and trafc internal to, ending to or going through a location. It can be used when planning a network or evaluating an existing one. This tool helps the network operator in calculating the shortage or redundancy of capacity in the planning or existing network. Planning It is possible to use the NWCC in network planning. New nodes, trunks and circuit connections can be created. First, it provides, as does the Network Editor, a set of basic objects such as nodes and trunks to create a network. In addition to the nodes and trunks referring to a specic item of Tellabs 8100 system network hardware, the NWCC introduces ideal nodes and trunks into the network. An ideal node has unlimited crossconnect capacity, while an ideal trunk has innite transport capacity.

It is also possible to preset a real maximum capacity for a node type in the initialization le. The NWCC can use the preset value in calculations instead of innite values. Given the end points and the capacity requirement, it builds up circuit connections automatically or manually, as does the router. In the automatic routing mode, each trunk is given a cost . The program nds the shortest path between the end points, which minimizes the sum of the trunk costs. The user can select one from various types of cost available before starting automatic routing. The NWCC rst reads the network data from the database while it is studying the existing network. It displays the network, calculates the capacity, shows the statistics and prints the results. The user can edit the network by adding or removing objects and make new circuit connections. However, the changes made by using the NWCC do not affect the data in the database. The NWCC saves the data in a le instead of the database.
