2) Alarm Profile
This function relates to an alarm severity profile to be assigned to a selected object (implemented
in MSS object, in Local TMN Ethernet interface and in the Radio object).
3) Protection Type Configuration

This function allows the operator to configure the NE protection type. This function is shown
when you select slots 4, 6, or 8 for equipment protection, or when you select an MPT
provisioned on the protect slot.
Note: For slots 1 and 2 (reserved to Main and Spare Core boards), protection type is configured
by the system, according to equipped Core board.
After the equipment selection, protection type list box is filled with the allowed protection types
list whose content depends on expected equipment configured:
if it is configured as P32E1DS1/P32E3DS3, the allowed protection type is 1+1 EPS;
if it is configured as MD300, the allowed protection types are 1+1 HSB and 1+1 FD.
if it is configured as SDHACC, the allowed protection type is 1+1 EPS. The SDHACC
cards must be equipped the same way with SFPs, for example, SFP #1 is set to SFP-O on
both cards.
If the operator selects a protection type equal to received one, the Apply button is disabled. If the
operator selects a protection type different from received one, Apply button is enabled. If slot is
in protection mode (protection type different from No protection): the Apply button related to
the expected equipment is disabled (equipment changing is allowed in No protection
configuration only).
Protection Example
Configuring a 1+1 protected board, if peer board is not configured, the CT will be in charge of
applying such configuration to un-configured peer board, before creating protection in MIB.
If the user applies a new expected protection type, both tree view and configuration panel are
reloaded and updated. With a configured 1+1 protection, involved slots are bounded by light
green lines (see the example).
4) Protection Type Configuration with MPT Access unit

To configure the protection scheme select an MPT as shown in the figure. (In the example MPTHQAM#71: connected to Port#1 of the MPT Access unit in Slot#7).

Choose in the Protect Port field one of the ports available in the list. The protection port can be
connected to an MPT connected to the same MPT Access unit or an MPT connected to an MPT
Access unit on the same row.

5) Protection Type Configuration with Core-E unit
To configure the protection scheme select an MPT as shown in the figure. (In the example MPTHQAM#11: connected to Port#1 of the Core-E unit in Slot#1).

Choose in the Protect Port field one of the ports available in the list.
The protection port must be connected to another MPT connected to the main Core-E unit. The
protect port must be the same type of port, that is, optical or electrical. Port #2 can protect port
#1, port #4 can protect port#3, and port #6 can protect port #5.

6) Protection Type Configuration with STM-1 units

To configure the protection select 1+1 EPS in the Protection Type field and click Apply.
Note: 1+1 EPS is only available when two adjacent SDH modules have been equipped and SFPs
have been provisioned to match.

7) Protection Type Configuration for MPT-HL or HLC

For 1+1 configuration with MPT-HL and P8ETH or EASv2, the two MPT-HL must be connected
to two ports with the same port number of two different units on the same row of the MSS
(example Slot #3-Port #5 and Slot #4-Port #5). To implement the protection click on the MPTHL, to be protected, and in the Setting tab-panel in the Protection Type field select the suitable
protection type. Then click on Apply. Refer to the next figure.

8) Protection Type Configuration for MPT-HLC

For 1+1 configuration with MPT-HLC and EASv2, the two MPT-HLC must be connected to two
ports with the same port number of two different units on the same row of the MSS (example
Slot #7-Port #6 and Slot #8-Port #6). To implement the protection click on the MPT-HLC to be
protected, and in the Setting tab-panel in the Protection Type field select the suitable protection
type. Refer to the next figure.
MPT-HLC protection configuration
If a receiver diversity combiner is in use, select the SD check box to enable receiver diversity.
Click on the Apply button.
8) Unit stacking
Two MPT-Access units, two P8ETH units, or two EASv2 units installed on the same row are
automatically grouped in a stacking configuration. The stacking configuration is highlighted by
the violet color as shown in the following figure (units in slots #3 and #4).
