1.1 Introduction to the System

NetNumen is a network-layer network management system
based on a distributed, multi-process and modular design. can
uniformly manage the optical communication equipment of CTN,
SDH, WDM/OTN, Router, BRAS and Switch series.
The provides complete management functions, including configuration management, alarm management, performance
management, maintenance management, end-to-end circuit
management, security management, system management, and
report management. It can manage multiple service types.
1.2 Location of the Product on a

Bearer Network
is a unified management platform that manages all types of equipment of ZTE bearer networks, including CTN, SDH, WDM/OTN
equipment, routers, BRASs, and switches.
is a network management system that is located at the network
element management layer/subnetwork management layer and
performs the network element layer and network layer management.
For the position of the in a bearer network, see Figure 1.

1.3 Typical Application Schemes

The supports two application schemes:
Application Scheme Without Protection

In the application scheme without protection, one server is
configured. If the server is faulty, the network may fail to be
managed. This scheme features low cost but it is less reliable.
In actual networking, the application scheme without protection provides two configuration modes.
Integrated configuration
On one server, both the server and client are configured.
Separated configuration
The server is configured on one server, and the client is
configured on another computer. The client is connected to
the server through the network protocol.
Dual-Server Configuration for Hot Backup

In the dual-server configuration scheme, two servers providing
the same services are used. One acts as the primary server,
and the other acts as the standby one. The primary server,
also called active server, provides application services when
the system runs properly. The standby server monitors the
working status of the primary one. At the same time, the
primary server checks whether the standby server is working
properly. If the primary server fails to provide the applications,
the standby server takes over the primary one to provide key
application services and ensure the continuous running of the
system.
Dual-sever hot backup can be classified into local dual-sever
hot backup and remote dual-sever hot backup.
In local dual-server hot backup, the primary server and the

standby server share the same disk array, and the data is
stored in an independent disk array. If the primary server
fails, the standby server takes over the primary server and
accesses the data in the disk array.
In remote dual-server hot backup, a server is installed on
the primary server and the standby server respectively, and
the data on both servers is automatically synchronized.
If the primary server fails, the server is switched to the
standby server, which takes over the job of the primary
server.
For the local dual-sever hot backup, see Figure 2.

1.4 System Features

Standard
Compliance
The follows the TMN and eTom models, and complies with TMN,
3GPP, SNMP, NGOSS and NGMN standards.
Modularized
Design
The system can easily meet the requirements for managing new
devices and services due to its modularized architecture. The system software consists of several modules, which can be distributed
on different computers. The distributed deployment of software
modules provides the processing capability of the system.
System Openness
The system adopts the following technologies to support its openness.
Operation Security
The use of CORBA, SNMP and XML interfaces enables the system to share both data and services with other service systems.
The system is implemented by JAVA, which enables the system

to run on the Windows, UNIX or Linux operating system, so as
to meet the users demands for managing networks of different
scales.
The system provides various external interfaces.
The system uses the access right control and log records to ensure
the security of operations on it.
Access Right Control

You can constrain the operation right of a user based on the
view of a controlled network, that is, the operations performed
by the user are limited to certain network elements with a certain granularity.
Complete Log Records

By observing the log records, you can find unauthorized operations in time to ensure the security of the system and the
managed network.
Ease of Use
By using the topology navigation function on the system, you can

perform network management operations easily in an intuitive
way, for example, monitor the running status of the managed
network on the topological graph of the network.
The topological graph has different levels, for example, global
topology and local topology. The alarm information in the whole
network can be displayed on the topological graph or rack map
in real time. The system provides different audible and visual
alarm indications according to the severity of alarms. In addition,
the system supports the centralized management of performance
data in the whole network for convenient query, statistics, and
report.
Data Security
The system adopts database backup and disk mirroring to ensure

the security of data in the system.
Database Backup
The system provides diversified backup modes by supporting
the storage of data on another peripheral memory, such as
disk, tape, compact disk, or database. You can restore the
data backup on the peripheral memory to the system when
necessary.
Disk Mirroring
When data mirroring is used, all data on the active disk is replicated to the standby disk in real time for backup.

3.1 Topology Management

The system is required to support the centralized management and
group management of all the managed devices due to the large
quantity and diversity of managed devices. The topology management module of the system provides various topology management functions to display the distribution and organization of
devices on topology views.
A topology view is divided into two parts: the navigation pane on
the left part, and the topology map on the right part. The navigation pane provides a network element tree that lists all the managed network elements (NEs) in the system. The topology map
shows the managed NEs on a map according to their locations and
relations in the network. In addition, some alarm and configuration information of NEs is also available on the topology view.
The following lists the topology management functions that you
can use in the system.
Navigation
The NEs added in the system are listed on an NE tree in the
navigation pane, corresponding to the NE icons displayed on
the topology map. When you add or delete an NE through
shortcut menu on the NE tree, corresponding NE icon appears
or disappears on the topology map at the same time. You can
locate corresponding NE icon on the topology map by clicking
the NE on the NE tree. Besides some topology management
functions, the NE tree also provides the access to some other
management functions through shortcut menu, including configuration management, fault management, and performance
management functions.
Graphic Display
21
The topology map shows all NEs managed by the system as

well as their relations in the network. You can search for specific NEs on the topology map, lock some NE icons to prevent
them from being moved by other users, and view the statistical information of the NEs in the system, including NE quantity,
link quantity, group quantity, and alarm information.
Display of NEs and Links

NEs and links between NEs that have connection relations are
displayed on the topology map. You can set the attributes of
an NE to determine whether to show its peripheral device.
Topology Map Control

On the topology map, you can do the following operations.
Go to, back to, and forward to a specific NE or topology

layer.
Search for specific NEs.
Change the background of the topology map.
Drag, zoom in, and zoom out the topology map.
Synchronize the configuration information of NEs on the

topology map from the server and refresh the display on
the client without changing the positions and connection
relations of those NEs.
Select the layout mode of NE icons on the topology map,
including hierarchical layout, tree layout, radial tree layout,
spring embedded layout, and uniform length edges layout.
Filtered Display
On the topology map, you can set filtering conditions to filter
the NEs or links that you do not concern from the topology
map. The filter conditions can be NE name, IP address, link
name, NE type, link type, and/or group type.
Authorization-Based Data Display

To ensure the system security, the system only provides topology management functions to authorized users.
Alarm Display
On the topology map, an NE or link is highlighted in different
colors when some fault(s) occur in it according to the fault
severity and the acknowledgement status of corresponding
alarm(s).
Group-Based View
To manage NEs more effectively, you can group NEs based on
certain rules. Then the topology map can arrange the NEs by
group.
3.2 Alarm Management

The fault management module monitors the operating status of
the equipment in real time. The alarm status is displayed by colors. The fault management includes the following functions:
22
Alarm Data Collection and Storage

The system collects alarm information sent by the managed
NEs in real time, converts the format of the alarm information
as required, and then stores all the alarm information in the
database. In addition, the fault management module can automatically save the alarm information into files according to
preset parameters.
Graphic Display and Localization of Alarms

The system monitors the managed NEs in real time and displays the received alarm information on the client screen. On
the topology map, you can open the board management view
of a faulty NE to locate the board where an alarm is generated.
Alarm Acknowledging and Unacknowledging

When an alarm is reported and displayed on the client screen,
you can acknowledge the alarm. The system saves the record
of your acknowledging operation. You can also cancel the
acknowledgement of an alarm, that is, unacknowledging the
alarm. All acknowledging and unacknowledging operations are
recorded, including the information of the users performing
the operations as well as the operation time.
By observing the acknowledgement status of alarms, you can
know the running status of the network, find the latest alarm
information quickly, and process the alarms respectively according to their acknowledgement status.
Real-Time Alarm Monitoring

The system shows real-time alarms in the form of list on the
client screen. In the alarm list, you can filter alarms by occurrence time or severity level. When the system receives new
alarms from managed NEs, it refreshes the alarm list automatically.
Alarm Clearing
The system automatically clears an alarm from the active alarm
list after the fault causing this alarm is removed.
Alarm Synchronization
Alarm synchronization includes the synchronization of alarm
information between the server and the managed NEs (that is,
the alarm sources), and the synchronization of alarm information between the client and the server.
supports two alarm synchronization modes: manual synchronization and automatic synchronization.
In the manual synchronization mode, the alarm synchronization is initiated by a user.

In the automatic synchronization mode, the alarm synchronization is initiated by the system.
The system initiates an alarm synchronization process in the

following situations:
The broken connection between the client and the server

recovers.
The broken connection between the server and a managed
NE in the network recovers.
23
The server is restarted.
Output of Alarm Data

All alarm information can be output to *.txt, *.xls, *.pdf,
*.html, or *.csv files.
Alarm Rule Management

The system supports the customization of various alarm rules
for managing and processing received alarms, such as alarm
storage, alarm filtering, alarm reclassification, and alarm correlation.
For example, by creating an alarm filtering rule, you can filter
less important alarms and reduce the count of alarms displayed
on the client screen. In this way, you can easily find critical
alarms and handle them first.
A fault in an NE may cause several correlated alarms. By
setting a correlation rule, you can collapse a series of correlated alarms caused by the same fault and reduce the count of
alarms displayed on the client screen.
Modification of Alarm Settings

This function allows you to define the alarm management
mode, reset the indication colors of alarms, and set the thresholds of environment parameters, for example, temperature,
humidity, and smog existence.
Alarm Query and Statistic

The alarm query and statistic function enables you to query
alarms stored in the database and get a statistic report of these
alarms. By analyzing the alarm report, you can find problems
in the network and improve the network performance by removing those problems. For example, you can query history
alarms, active alarms and notifications.
In addition, the system can count alarms according to their
types and severity levels, and indicate the distribution of different alarms by displaying the statistic information in various
chart forms.
3.3 Performance Management

The purpose of performance management is to improve the network performance and efficiency and provide a basis as well as
suggestions for proper planning of network resources. The performance management module of the system can collect the performance data of network elements in the network. By observing and
analyzing the collected performance data, you can know the running status of equipment in the network, evaluate the efficiency of
equipment and the network, and monitor the quality of service in
the network.
The following lists the performance management functions that
you can use in the system.
24
Data Query
You can query raw performance data stored in the database

after setting the query conditions, for example, NE type, time
period and performance object. The query result is displayed
in a list. You can print the query result or save it as a file.
Data Synchronization
The system can automatically synchronize performance data
from the managed NEs to the server, and synchronize performance data from the server to the client. You can also initiate
the synchronization of performance data through a client.
Data Report
The system can generate a performance data statistic report
to show current KPIs, which can also be output as *.xls, *.pdf,
*.html, and *.txt files. A predefined template or user-defined
template can be used to generate the report you want.
In addition, you can create a report task by specifying the report type, template, object, time, and file name. When the
preset is up, the system generates the customized report according to the task. The customized task is stored in the database, which can be queried, modified and deleted. After the
report is generated by the system, you can view the report and
save it as an *.xls file.
The system can send the periodically-generated report to a
user in the specified format through E-mail as required.
3.4 Security Management

The security management module of the system provides security
management functions to ensure that only authorized users can
access and manage network resources.
For better understanding of security management, the following
explains some basic concepts related to security management, including role, role set, department, and user.
Role
A role specifies the management permission for a user group,
including the operation permission and manageable resources.
The operation permission allows the user group to use specific functional modules of the network management system. For example, if a role has the operation permission of
the log management module, the users acting as the role
can perform log management operations, such as querying
logs and maintaining logs.
The manageable resources refer to subnetworks and/or
network elements that can be managed by the role.
Role Set
A role set is a set of roles. The management permission of a
role set involves the management permissions of all roles in
the role set.
Department
25
Departments are specified in the network management system to simulate the actual administrative departments. In this
way, the system administrator can conveniently organize and
manage users in the system. A newly-created user must belong to a department.
User
A user is an operator who is authorized to log in to the system
and perform operations in the system. While creating a user,
the system administrator assigns the management permission
to the user by specifying a role or role set and allocates the
user to a department according to the actual situation.
For the model of relations among user, role, role set, department,
operation permission, and manageable resources involved in the
security management, see Figure 4.
FIGURE 4 RELATION MODEL
OF
SECURITY MANAGEMENT
The following explains the relation model of security management.
26
A user is administered by a department.
The management permission of a user depends on the role set

assigned to the user.
A role set includes one role or a set of roles. Correspondingly,

the management permission of a role set is the collection of
management permissions of all roles in the role set.
The management permission of a role depends on the operation permission and manageable resources specified for the
role.
The system provides the following security management functions.
Security Event Recording

The system can record security events, for example, authentication failure, locking a user, and disabling a user. The system
administrator can know the situation of user accounts in the
system by observing the security event log.
Reporting of Security-Related Alarms

The system can report alarms to the administrator when some
important security events occur, for example, a user account
is locked.
Setting of Login Time Period

By using the security management module, you can set a limit
of the time period for a user. The user is allowed to log in to
the system only in this period.
User Account Management

A user can query and change its password, policy, locking rule,
and validity period. For example, you can specify a rule like
this: if a user enters the wrong password three times, the user
account will be locked for the purpose of preventing unauthorized login.
Login User Management
Forcible Removal of Users

The super administrator of the system can remove a user
from the system forcibly to avoid unauthorized operations
performed by this user and ensure the system security.
IP Address Setting of Super Administrator

You can set the IP address of the super administrator to ensure
the security of the super administrator account. After you set
the IP address, the super administrator can only log in to the
system on the client with the same IP address as the preset
one.
User Password Modification

The super administrator of the system can change the passwords of all the other users.
User Status Check

If you log in to the system as a super administrator, you can
check the locking status of other users, enable the automatic
unlocking function of other users, and set the unlocking time.
Locking of Clients
If no operation is performed for on a client a long time, the
system will lock the client and force the login user on the client
to log out of the system. The user is required to log in to the
system again before performing any operation in the system.
27

In the system, you can conveniently load the software package
of new version to the managed bearer equipment. The system
can manage bearer equipment with different software versions.
You can conveniently switch the version to another for the equipment when necessary. If the upgrade fails, the system enables
the equipment to roll its software back to the previous one.
The E300, T31, and U31 R22 can be upgraded to the current version. The client software can be automatically downloaded from
the server.
29
3.7 Log Management

The system provides three types of logs: operation log, security
log, and system log.
Operation Log records operation information, including user

name, operation level, operations, command function, operation object, object group, object address, start time, operation
result, cause of operation failure, operation end time, host address, and access mode.
Security Log records login information, including user name,

host address, log name, operation time, access mode and details of the log.

Chapter 4 Product Architecture

>> Hardware Architecture
>> Software Architecture
4.1 Hardware Architecture

The system adopts a client/server architecture. The client in the
system communicates with the server through TCP/IP.
The hardware configuration of the system depends on the scale
of the network to be managed and the system load. Generally, a
high configuration Unix/Windows series workstation is used as the
server because the server runs all core functional modules of the
system, stores and maintains massive network management data.
The configuration of the client is relatively lower because the task
of the client is connecting the server and displaying the operation
results. A personal computer (PC) can be used as the client of the
system.
In terms of logical structure, two types of devices are deployed at
the server: host and storage device.
The host is the physical foundation of the system. It processes

data in the system. The system performance greatly depends
on the processor speed of the host.
Storage devices are used to save the data in the system. For
storing large amounts of important data in the system, external data storage devices with high capacity and reliability are
required besides the built-in disks in the host.
In terms of function, a server cluster, including application server

and database server, can be deployed at the server. These servers
can be configured together on the same host, or independently on
different hosts.
To ensure high availability and security, dual servers can be used
in the system, see Figure 5.
33
FIGURE 5 DUAL-SERVER SYSTEM
As shown in Figure 5, the dual-server system adopts the Veritas

Cluster solution to monitor the active and standby servers and
implement the switching between them. The disk array keeps the
consistency of the data between two servers through two routes.
When the active server fails, the Veritas Cluster System, which
monitors the heartbeat between dual servers, detects the failure. Then the Veritas Cluster System switches the system to the
standby server for providing continuous network management services.
4.2 Software Architecture

Object-oriented technologies are adopted to design the software
based on JAVA 2 platform Enterprise Edition (J2EE). The software
modules can be deployed in an integrated or distribute way to
manage bearer network elements (NEs).
In addition, the software provides CORBA, SNMP, DB and File interfaces for connecting the system to a upper integrated NMS or
Operation Support System (OSS).
By using the software, you can configure and maintain individual
bearer network elements, and implement the integrated monitoring and maintenance of all network elements from the network
management point of view.
The system provides two software: server software and client software.
34

Non-Cascade Remote Networking
Non-Cascade Integrated Networking
6.2.1 Non-Cascade Local Networking

Non-cascade local networking is the most common networking
mode used by centralized network management systems. It is a
simple networking mode, in which the server, clients and NEs are
39
all located in the same Local Area Network (LAN) and connected
with each other through Ethernet. In this networking mode, the
server connects to the managed NEs through LAN.
The following describes the topology of this networking mode and
the required devices for the local networking.
Topology
For the topology of the non-cascade local networking of , see
Figure 6.
FIGURE 6 NON-CASCADE LOCAL NETWORKING
6.2.2 Non-Cascade Remote Networking

The system supports various non-cascade remote networking
modes, in which the clients are located remotely from the server.
Different remote networking modes have the same network
topology and follow the same networking principle. Specific
transmission equipment is used to connect the system to a Wide
Area Network (WAN). The server and the client are located in
different LANs with corresponding routers and hubs.
The non-cascade remote networking supports the transmission
over leased line of Digital Data Network (DDN), E1 line, or Highdata-rate Digital Subscriber Line (HDSL).
The following introduces the remote networking based on DDN
leased line transmission mode and E1 transmission mode, which
are commonly used in the actual telecommunication networks due
to their quality and cost advantages.
40
Remote Networking Based on DDN Leased Line
The stable and reliable DDN provides a high transmission rate

from 64kbps to 2Mbps. In this remote networking mode,
routers and baseband MODEMs are used. At the server, a
hub is connected to a router and the router is connected to
the leased line of the DDN through a baseband MODEM. The
remote client is connected to the leased line in the same way
through its Ethernet interface.
For the remote networking of the system based on DDN leased
line, see Figure 7.
FIGURE 7 NON-CASCADE REMOTE NETWORKING
OVER
DDN
Remote Networking Based on E1 Transmission

In the noncascade remote networking over E1 transmission,
E1 (2Mbit/s) lines are used to transmit IP packets. At both ends
of an E1 line, timeslot extractors are needed. The maximum
transmission rate of each timeslot is 64kbps. By the channelization technology, N timeslots can be used together to get a
rate of N64kbps, which meets the requirements for different
transmission rates. A router and a channelized E1 module can
be used together as a stable and reliable timeslot extractor.
For the remote networking of the system based on E1 transmission, see Figure 8.

6.2.3 Non-Cascade Integrated

Networking
The integrated networking is a combination of local networking
and remote networking. Local NEs/clients and remote NEs/clients
coexist in this networking mode. For the topology of the integrated
networking over DDN, see Figure 9.

6.3 Cascade Networking Modes

Multiple servers can be cascaded to manage a large-scale network.
The lower-level servers manage part of the network, responding
to the requests and processing the data coming from this part.
The upper-lever server connects to multiple lower-level servers,
processing the information from the lower-level servers and responding to the requests from the upper-level clients. It manages
the whole network through lower-level servers.
The cascade networking can be classified into local cascade networking and remote cascade networking according to the physical
relations between the upper-level server and lower-level servers.
6.3.1 Local Cascade Networking

When the scale of a network is so large that a single system cannot manage the whole network, the cascade networking mode can
be used to increase the management capacity. In this networking
mode, the lower-level servers manage the devices in corresponding areas. They are integrated and connected to the upper-level
43
server through LAN. Therefore, the upper-level server can implement the centralized management of the whole network.
In the local cascade networking mode, the upper-level server and
lower-level servers are located in the same LAN. Any of the noncascade networking modes described earlier can be used for each
server and the clients corresponding to it.
For example, the following illustrates the networking of a system, where the local cascade networking mode is used for the upper-level server and two lower-level servers, and the non-cascade
local networking mode is used for each server and corresponding
clients, see Figure 10.
FIGURE 10 LOCAL CASCADE NETWORKING
The upper-level server and the lower-level servers are integrated

in the same LAN, and each server has corresponding clients, see
Figure 10.
Note:
For the logical model of upper-level client and lower-level clients,
see Figure 10. Physically, the management processes of the lowerlevel clients can be deployed on the upper-level client.
6.3.2 Remote Cascade Networking

In the remote cascade networking mode, the upper-level server
and the lower-level servers are connected through DDN or E1
transmission network. All non-cascade networking modes described earlier can be used for each server and corresponding
client.
For the topology of a remote cascade networking mode, see Figure
11.
44
FIGURE 11 REMOTE CASCADE NETWORKING
The upper-level server and lower-level servers are integrated

through E1 transmission network instead of a LAN, see Figure 11.
6.4 Distributed System

The commercial application capability meeting the requirement of
high capacity and load is a key point for a centralized network management system, which has a bottleneck of load processing due
to huge amount of performance and alarm data. The distributed
deployment of the centralized network management system can
improve the overall processing capability of the system, eliminating the bottleneck of load processing.
The system supports the flexible deployment of its functional modules on different servers in a distributed way. The distributed deployment not only improves the system stability, but also provides
convenience for troubleshooting and module upgrade.
The distributed system is designed on the application layer, which
follows the same basic principle as other application systems.
There is no uniform requirement for the topology of the distributed system. For a typical topology of a distributed network
management system, in which the database server, application
45
server and access server are deployed in a distributed way, see

Figure 12.
FIGURE 12 TYPICAL DISTRIBUTED DEPLOYMENT
OF THE
SYSTEM
The following distributed deployment modes are available for a

centralized network management system:
Distributed Deployment of Database

In this mode, the database is independently deployed on a
server.
Distributed Deployment of Access Servers

Distributed deployment of access servers supports access of
multiple subsystems to the centralized network management
system for the purpose of centralized management. For example, three access servers can be arranged to access nine radio
network subsystems to the centralized network management
system. Each server supports the access of three radio network subsystems. The functions of an access server include
transferring information between upper-level and lower-level
interfaces, collecting the data and storing the data in the database.
Distributed Deployment of Application Servers

In this mode, fault management server, performance management server and other management servers are deployed independently according to the actual needs.

Topology Management
Topology Management Functions
Overview
Function
Description
The provides a series of topology management functions, including:
Viewing and editing network resource locations, network architectures, links and connections, and service distribution in
different service systems.
Displaying topological relationships between service subnetworks along with access management.
Topology Display
The system displays network resources by combining the Network Element (NE) tree and the topology graph. Users can
manage network resources in different views.
Topology Operations
The provides the following topology operations:
Searching topology nodes
Switching between different views
Backing up and printing the topology graph
Moving topology graph
Changing the displaying structure of topology graph
Displaying full-screen view
Setting the network layout
Operations on groups
Operations on links
Operations on NEs
Expanding and collapsing the topology graph
Customizing elements on Graphic User Interface (GUI)
Viewing the rack diagram
Monitoring Function
The topology view provides a dynamic network topology graph,
displaying the operation status of managed networks in real
time. It monitors configuration changes and fault alarms.
72
The topology graph also displays records of adding and deleting

NEs and the configuration information of NEs, while informing
users of these changes. By using regular synchronization, you
cannot only view dynamic status of configuration changes in
network devices, but also set the updating cycle of configuration information.
Fault Monitoring: The topology graph can display fault generated in lower-level network element management systems in
the format of visual and audio alarms.
The system also distinguishes between different alarm severity levels by using different icon colors of faulty NEs. Acknowledged, unacknowledged, handled and removed faults are also
displayed in different ways.
