Requirements management
communication
Introduction For the management communication between your local PC/computer and
the
UMUX 1500/1200/900 provide the
F-, the Q1- and the QX-interface.
The F- and the Q1-interfaces are serial interfaces, and the QX-interface is
a 10BaseT Ethernet interface. While the F- and Q1-interface rely on the
PPP protocol, the QX-interface uses the Ethernet protocol. Accordingly,
the UMUX 1500/1200/900 use the TCP/IP stack and IP addresses to ad-
dress the NEs.
UMUX 1100(E)/1300 provide the
F- and the Q1-interface.
The DSL System relies on management communication via the F- and
the Q1-interface. All communication uses the serial interface of your
PC/computer and does not require special configuration on the operating
system level.
Remote NE access via the ECC, Q-Bus and EOC (management communi-
cation network structure for legacy UMUX, [914]) is not considered here.

Commissioning Your PC/Computer for the UCST KEYMILE AG
For more information on IP addresses and rules for the use of IP addresses,
refer to [902] UMUX Network Functions, chapter 5: "Addressing schemes".
Contact KEYMILE for additional information and trainings for DCN funda-
mental knowledge and management network planning.
UCST The UCST R8 provides the Management Network menu to set up the man-
agement communication uniformly for all types of subrack-based UMUX and
DSL system equipment.
Management Network Parameters
The Management Network Parameters is the Element Agent part of
the Management Network that allows you to define the type of manage-
ment communication and indicate the relevant parameters of your PC. It
is possible to create several Element Agents and to edit existing agents
(to a certain extent).
Managed Network Elements (NEs)
The Managed NEs is the second part of the Management Network that
allows you to define a set of NEs, which are assigned to a particular
agent. It is possible to edit the set together with its NEs.
While the UCST completely controls the serial interface for management
communication with the legacy UMUX 1100(E)/1300 and DSL System
equipment, management communication for the UMUX 1500/1200/900 re-
quires additional configuration on the operating system level (Windows).
Please note that:
UCST releases < R4E do not support the UMUX 1200.
UCST releases < R5C do not support the UMUX 900.

UMUX 1500/1200/900 In addition to the general requirements for running the UCST software on
PC/computers, special requirements apply for the implementation of the
management access to the UMUX 1500/1200/900:
Serial interfaces.
Ethernet interface (10BaseT) for management communication.
Installation of the Dial Up Networking (DUN) and dedicated UCST mo-
dems (serial communication only).
Point to Point Protocol (PPP), Transmission Control Protocol / Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP).
IP routing and management communication via the Embedded Commu-
nication Channel (ECC).
Administration of IP addresses.
UMUX 1100(E)/1300 and Management communication with the legacy UMUX 1100(E)/1300 and the
DSL System DSL System requires a serial port (COM n) on your PC/computer. No pre-
liminary configuration on the PC level is required for this serial interface.
Serial interfaces for management communication only.
Proprietary protocol.
Linear address range (0 255).

rial interface tion use the RS-232C serial interface of the PC/notebook which runs the
UCST software. Recent PC/notebook hardware (in particular notebooks)
does no longer provide RS-232C serial interfaces. Instead more powerful
Universal Serial Bus (USB) interfaces are available to connect external pe-
ripheral devices to the PC/notebook.
USB to RS-232C serial converters provide an external plug-and-play RS-
232C serial connection for computers, notebooks and laptops that support
USB interfaces and the USB specification.
The engineering bulletin [828] describes the installation and commissioning
of such devices for the use with the UCST.
Please note that KEYMILE has verified the implementation of USB
to RS-232C serial converters only for specific brands of converters
and Windows XP Professional.

Requirements memory The operation of the UCST requires hard disk capacity for three subsystems:
Basic UCST software system (UCST program files including unit tem-
plates and software (do not mix with ESW!).
Configuration files created with the UCST.
Files with embedded software (ESW) for units.
While the basic software system of the UCST requires a known amount of
storage capacity, the requirement of the two other subsystems depends
heavily on the type and number of
NEs that are managed via the PC/computer.
units with ESW and the number of ESW versions that you need to pro-
vide simultaneously.
EN/LZTBU 310 202/4 RB User Guide Systems, UCST / Installation & Commissioning 3-1
Installation & Commissioning Procedures for UCST & ESW KEYMILE AG
Basic UCST software system Depending on the customer version of the UCST, the memory requirements
for the basic UCST SW system are typically:
1)
Value depends on customer version. Standard UCST contains only
default cps.
The unit data and program files mentioned above contain the
UCST code. Do not mix them up with the ESW, which corresponds
to the locally executable program code for units (= unit software).
Configuration files Since the NE type determines the basic size of the configuration files, we
select the UMUX 1500 as an example since it creates the biggest configura-
tion files.
It is possible to roughly calculate the size of a UMUX 1500 configuration file:
You can expect the total requirement of memory for the configuration files of
100 NEs to be less than 20 MBytes.
3-2 User Guide Systems, UCST / Installation & Commissioning EN/LZTBU 310 202/4 RB
Installation & Commissioning Procedures for UCST & ESW KEYMILE AG
ESW files The compressed ESW code requires 200 2800 kBytes of memory per unit
and ESW. In contrast to the NE configuration files, it is sufficient to store only
one single copy per ESW on your PC/computer.
It is possible to roughly calculate the requirements of memory for a typical
management domain with 2 ESW versions for the control units and ESW
for 16 types/versions of traffic units with SW download.
We presume that the total requirement of memory for ESW files for a net-
work with NEs of comparable functionalities and complexity is less than 10
MBytes.
The ESW requires additional space on the hard disk drive. The to-
tal space required depends on the number of ESW types and ver-
sion.
Please note that it is possible to store several versions (releases)
of software per unit.
Total requirements hard disk The total requirements on hard disk space for UCST installation is given in
the table below:

UCST installation The following paragraphs show step by step instructions for the commission-
ing and installation of the UCST. Depending on the version and type of your
(Windows) operating system, your hardware and the present configuration of
your PC/computer, there might be differences in the dialogues presented.
The same steps generally apply for all the Windows versions, but are not
generally exactly identical.

Distribution of the UCST The UCST is a software package licensed by KEYMILE. The UCST software
software is available on CD-ROM. For customers with a valid service agreement it is
also possible to download the UCST software from KEYMILEs Extranet.
The UCST software (R8 and more recent releases) is distributed in a self-
extracting file.
Please note that the use of the UCST software is limited according
to the license agreement provided with each software package.
For further explanations of the installation process, please refer to the next
paragraphs.
Considerations on Customer The Customer Identifier is essential for the UCST and management com-
Identifier munication although you normally do not see the Customer Identifier. The
Customer Identifier encodes the UCST installation (= EM) and the NEs, that
this EM is managing with a common code.
The Customer Identifier protects the management communication and NEs
from tampering with other UCST installations. The Customer Identifier allows
you to segment the NEs within one large management domain into smaller
management entities.
The UCST installation utility initialises the Customer Identifier with the nil
value (= no Customer Identifier defined!). This set-up fits most requirements.
You can optionally assign a Customer Identifier by means of the UCST Cus-
tomer Identifier Set-up service utility after the initial installation of the

UCST. You can run this service utility at any time if you have the rights
(password) of System Manager. The UCST installation utility automatically
installs the Customer Identifier Set-up utility .
If for any reason, you plan to assign a Customer Identifier care-
fully read the paragraph on the Customer Id and keep the Cus-
tomer Id in a safe place.
Once the Customer Identifier is loaded to an NE, there is no way
to access this NE with any other Customer Identifier unless you re-
set and reconfigure the NE!

Assigning passwords for user The UCST installation utility sequences automatically through all the User
classes Classes, in order to assign corresponding passwords.
The UCST provides four User Classes, which define the rights of access to
the functions of the UCST. The function required for a particular type of
maintenance (function) structures the rights provided with each User Class.
This means also that a higher User Class does not automatically have the
access rights of the lower classes.
System manager User Class 1 has access to all the functions of
the UCST. User Class 1 can
change passwords and the Cus-
tomer Identifier. User Class 1 con-
trols the rights of access.
System maintenance User Class 2 has all but the ad-
ministrative rights of the system
manager.
System planner User Class 3 has no administrative rights and
cannot up/download configura-
tions.
System information User class 4 can access the NE for information
only. No configuration is possible.

The password for the System Manager must never get lost! You
will not be able to access the UCST at the level of System Man-
ager without this password!
EN/LZTBU 310 202/4 RB User Guide Systems, UCST / Installation & Commissioning 3-15
Installation & Commissioning Procedures for UCST & ESW KEYMILE AG
If you loose your password for the System Manager, you have to
reinstall your UCST specifying the previous Customer Identifier
(if such Customer Id was specified). You can assign other pass-
words for the User Classes however.
As soon as you assign the password for System Manager, it is
highly recommended that you store the password together with the
Customer Identifier (if such Customer Id was specified) in a safe
place, accessible to system managers only.
DUN and RAS Modem Con- The different Windows versions have their peculiarities for the installation
nections of the RAS Modem Connections:
If you want to use dial-up connections to connect to remote UMUX, refer to
the chapter: "Commissioning for modems" in this document.
The installation of the UCST under Windows 2000, XP Profes-
sional/Server 2003 re-creates the ucstras.pbk file (phonebook)
with the default settings each time you install a UCST.
This means that the UCST installation utility overwrites the phone-
book of an already installed UCST (e.g. of a former UCST release)
with the default values:
The UCST uses COM 2 as the default port for its modems. If
there is already a modem on COM 2, the UCST assigns this
modem to the selected RAS Modem Connection.
The UCST uses 10.1.1.2 as the IP address default.
and so on for all the other phonebook parameters.
Please refer also to the Letter of Limitations [147] for additional
information on RAS use and commissioning.
To re-establish your DUN access, you must check and eventually
reconfigure the settings in the appropriate ucstras.pbk file.
It is also possible to reuse a previously saved phonebook (same
computer and configuration). To reuse the phonebook, you can
copy the previously saved file into the appropriate folder of your
new UCST installation.

Installation & Commissioning Procedures for UCST & ESW KEYMILE AG
network.nmc file The UCST installation routine installs the default network.nmc file in the cfg
folder. The default file overwrites any existing network.nmc file. For UCST
releases with compatible nmc-file structure it is possible to reuse previous
nmc-files with the new UCST installation. This can save a large amount of
work.
To reuse a previously saved compatible nmc-file, copy the file after the
UCST installation in the CFG folder of your new UCST installation.
The nmc-files of the UCST R8 are not compatible with the UCST
R5 and R4 releases!
The use of R5 and R4 nmc-files with the UCST R8 crashes the
UCST R8!
EN/LZTBU 310 202/4 RB User Guide Systems, UCST / Installation & Commissioning 3-17

Ucst.ini file The UCST R8 uses its own ucst.ini file, which is stored in the UCST direc-
tory. UCST R8 creates no entries to the win.ini file. The ucst.ini file requires
no commissioning.
Do not modify the ucst.ini file unless instructed to by KEYMILE.
Log-in/re-booting required The installation of the UCST and its components adds information to the
Windows User Profiles (e.g. the UCST RAS phonebook). To make the
updated User Profiles active after the UCST installation, you must re-boot
your computer or log-in again.
After the successful installation of the UCST software, you need to continue
with the commissioning of your PC/computer as instructed. The exact pro-
cedures depend on the type of your operating system. Start UCST only after
this.

The UCST installation utility installs the current APDSW-file here. The
UCST requires the unit firmware files (with the extensions .R<XY>) for
the delivery of unit software to the NEs.
The unit SW (embedded SW) is separately distributed on CD-ROM or
available via KEYMILEs Extranet (service agreement provided) and
requires separate commissioning (Refer to the paragraphs Commis-
sioning your computer/PC for ESW and CPS).
5 Pm folder
The xml-files in the PM folder provide basic definitions for the per-
formance monitoring of the generic layers with PM. This type of PM is
available for units released with UCST versions UCST R6B.
6 Polling folder
UCST polling or the initial upload / download command generates
configuration files for polled NEs with the prefix ucstpolling_ in this
directory ( UCST R6A).
7 Profiles folder
The Profiles folder contains all the profile structures that the current
UCST supports. For each profile type a default profile is available.
8 Report folder
The UCST uses this directory as the default directory to save reports
and print files.
Depending on the options selected for the installation, the UCST installation
utility may not install one or several of the directories.

Updating the UCST You can re-run the UCST installation utility to update your UCST. The instal-
lation utility allows you to select between the options
Typical
Custom
For details of the 2 options, refer to the previous paragraphs on the initial
UCST installation.
With "typical" and the Main Program Files "custom" option the re-installation
sequences through the password section of the UCST installation. To avoid
problems with managed NEs you must normally not change the Customer Id
and passwords.
Start the UCST installation utility as previously described.
The installation utility recognises the installed UCST and asks you to confirm
the program update.

With "typical" and the Main Program Files "custom" option the
re-installation sequences through the password section of the
UCST installation.
To change the Customer Id and/or UCST passwords, refer to
the corresponding paragraphs above.
The update process concludes with the Setup Complete dialogue.
Please note that
If you re-run the UCST installation utility, the set-up program will
not overwrite the file network.nmc in the Cfg directory in your
UCST installation. The set-up program will however re-install
the file with the default agents if the file has been removed pre-
viously.
If the UCST installation utility asks you for the permission to
overwrite components (RAS phonebooks etc.) don't allow the
installation utility to overwrite if you want to preserve the config-
ured functionalities.
UCST service packs If it is necessary, KEYMILE will provide Service Packs for the UCST soft-
ware.
Service packs for the UCST are released and distributed together with a cor-
responding release note. A new service pack includes the fixes and features
of all the previously released service packs for the specified UCST release.
The UCST Service Packs are available on CD-ROM. For customers with a
valid service agreement it is also possible to download the UCST Service
Packs from KEYMILEs Extranet.
The Service Pack utility automatically updates and installs program and data
files as required.
If applicable the documentation provided with the Service Pack will provide
additional information on the application of the service utility.
Please note that some of the Service Packs are complete UCST
installations.
When installing such service pack you must consider the effects of
a UCST de-/installation on already installed and commissioned
UCST scripts, modems and phonebooks.
For details, refer to table 3-5 in this paragraph.

The UCST uninstall removes only files and directories created during the in-
stallation of the UCST. Files created or added to the UCST directories after
the UCST installation will be left (e.g. configuration, firmware files etc.). This
means also that the directories created with the installation of UCST will be
removed only if these directories contain no files that have been created af-
ter the installation of the UCST.
For this reason, you need to delete the UCST directories separately in most
cases, if you want to remove all the UCST related files from your computer. The
advantage of this procedure is that you can reinstall the UCST into the existing
structure of directories without losing custom created files (e.g. *.cfg files).
The UCST uninstall utility considers shared program files that other pro-
grams (e.g. other UCST versions) might use.
For details of the influence of the UCST de-installation on UCST
system files refer to the Table 3-5 and related comments in the
previous chapter UCST updates and Service Packs.
Please note that you have to use the uninstall utility to remove the
UCST from your PC/computer. Simple deleting of files and directo-
ries will leave the software system of your computer with corrupted
entries.
To reinstall UCST, you have to re-run the complete UCST installation proc-
ess (except for DUN etc. But you also have to re-install the UCST RAS mo-
dems!).

For more information on the ESW system, refer to the UMUX technical de-
scription [202] and to the UMUX user guide [302].
Use of CPS Custom Parameter Sets (CPS) are customised set of parameters which
control the V5 and NGN functions of the UMUX for seamless interoperability
with the customers access network. CPSs are only created for high volume
applications.
EN/LZTBU 310 202/4 RB User Guide Systems, UCST / Installation & Commissioning 3-39
Installation & Commissioning Procedures for UCST & ESW KEYMILE AG
Currently, the UMUX supports CPSs for units and functions as follows:
IPSMG (NGN application)
PCONV, PCON2 (V5 application)
VGATE (V5 application)
VGATE (LES application of ATM modems)
With the installation of the UCST, the installer utility installs for each CPS
type the UMUX default CPS and if applicable customer specific sets - in
the corresponding directory. These sets are required for standard commis-
sioning of the affected units (including user ports in the UMUX access net-
work) and functions.
Distribution of ESW and The current ESW and CPSs is distributed on a separate CD-ROM with the
CPS UCST software.
ESW and CPSs may change due to new releases of function units or bug
fixes. Up-to-date ESW and CPSs are available on CD-ROM and via
KEYMILEs Extranet (service agreement provided) at any time.
All unit software is copyrighted by KEYMILE.
The use of unit software is limited according to the license agreement pro-
vided with each software package. The data carrier with the most recent
ESW is automatically created and delivered with the unit deliveries.
ESW and CPSs are backward compatible with existing hardware
and functions. Accordingly, it is possible to use the most recent
ESW and CPSs with legacy functions..
KEYMILE recommends the use of current ESW and CPSs in all in-
stallations, since the current ESW and CPSs eliminate bugs and
deficiencies of legacy ESW and CPSs.
The ESW CD-ROM contains directories and data-files as follows:
CPS directory and sub-directories (with data files)
Desktop SW (software) directory (with software files)
ESW directory (with ESW files)
Release notes and letter of limitations for supported UCST releases.

The UCST installation utility copies the default CPSs in the application spe-
cific CPS sub-directories. If applicable, customised CPSs are additionally in-
stalled with the customised UCST versions.
Copy now all the CPSs that you need for the configuration of your NEs to the
appropriate CPS directory (Ipsmg, Les_vgate, V5_pconv, V5_vgate). Cur-
rent ESW and CPSs are available on CD-ROM (initial versions delivered
with the UCST) and via KEYMILEs Extranet (service agreement provided).
You can also remove CPSs that are no longer needed. However, the UCST
can only use CPSs that is resident in the CPS directories!

The paragraphs below describe the commissioning of the local / remote mo-
dem and the commissioning on the PC/computer level. For information on
the configuration of the Management Network, refer to the chapter 3: "Ac-
cessing NEs with the UCST" in [401] and [901].
For demonstration purposes the installation and commissioning process is
shown with the popular U.S. Robotics 56k FAX EXT modem.
Local modem The local modem can be a computer built in dial-up modem (Lap top com-
puter) or an external dial-up modem (desktop modem).
For the physical and electrical installation of external modems, refer to the
user manual provided with your modem.
With built in modems, the physical and electrical installation is normally lim-
ited to the connection to the (public) telephone network. For corresponding
information consult the user manual provided with your computer.
The parameter settings of the local modem are not critical for UCST interop-
eration and depend mainly on your telephone network and services.
You can use a terminal program running on your PC/computer to create the
required AT commands for the modem. For details, refer to the manual of
your modem.
The local modem works fine with the parameter settings as documented be-
low for the U.S. Robotic 56k FAX EXT modem (The list below has been
printed via the "ATI4" command):
B0 E0 F1 L2 M1 Q0 V1 X4 Y0
SPEED=9600 PARITY=N WORDLEN=8
DIAL=TONE OFF LINE CID=0

Remote modem
Remote modem for UMUX The parameter settings of the remote modem are critical for the interopera-
1500/1200/900 tion with the COBU<X>. The COBU<X> supports data flow control (physical
handshake) and adapts the bit rate of its serial interface automatically to the
incoming bit rate.
Reliable communication in the public telephone network requires a limitation
of the transmission speed, which can be below the maximum supported
speed of the modem.
With the parameter settings as documented below for the U.S. Robotic 56k
FAX EXT modem, reliable communication can be established (The list below

UCST Management Net- With the commissioning of the UCST communication interface as described
work above, it possible to create and configure new UCST management networks
with EAs for modem communication as follows (summary):
2: Remote Permanent:
This access type links your PC/computer (UCST) via modem to a
UMUX 1500/1200/900 that provides the gateway function to the IP
network.
From this gateway UMUX, you can access any type of UMUX NE via
an IP network (LAN, WAN, Intranet etc.). The gateway UMUX is di-
alled up when the corresponding Element Agent is started.
The dialup number is saved with the RAS settings.
4: Modem Point-to-Point:
This access type links your PC/computer (UCST) via modems to any
UMUX type NE and DSL System.
Each NE connection uses its specific dial-up number. You specify the
dial-up number with the other NE access parameters in the list of
Managed NEs for the corresponding Element Agent in the Manage-
ment Network menu. The connection to a MUX is dialled up at the first
request for management communication with the NE.

Class 1: System Manager
Class 2: System Maintenance
Class 3: . System Planner
Class 4: System Informations
The user classes allow you to control the management access and to assign
functional responsibilities. An additional asset of the user classes is the pro-
tection of the NEs and the network from unintentional interventions, which
might create disturbances and service interruptions. Depending on the User
Class, the access to some of the menus is not possible or restricted.
You can compose an expression of up to 15 letters and/or numbers to define
a User Class password.
EN/LZTBU 310 202/4 RB User Guide Systems, UCST / Installation & Commissioning 4-1
UCST System Administration KEYMILE AG
You can assign passwords for User Classes with the UCST set-up program,
the UCST Customer Identifier set-up utility and via the UCST menu Sys
Admin. Only the System Manager can assign and change passwords.
System manager The User Class System Manager authorises you to control all the functions
(User Class 1) of the UCST and gives you all the access rights available with the UCST,
including administrative rights. You need the password of the System Man-
ager whenever you want to re-assign or change a password.
The password for the System Manager must never get lost! You
will not be able to access the UCST at the level of System Man-
ager any more!
As soon as you assign the password for System Manager, it is
highly recommended that you store the password together with the
Customer Identifier (if defined) in a safe place, accessible to sys-
tem managers only.
System maintenance The User Class System Maintenance has the same rights as the User
(user class 2) Class System Manager except for the administrative rights (of UCST). The
System Manager can configure and access the NE and perform diagnostic
functions.
System planner The User Class System Planner can create or modify configurations for
(user class 3) NEs but only on the level of the EM. The System Planner can load and save
configurations from and to the file system of the PC/computer. The System
Planner has no rights to up- or download configurations to the NE or to per-
form diagnostic functions.
System information The User Class System Informations defines the actual system operator.
(user class 4) The System Operator has no rights for active configuration but can perform
diagnostic functions and gather system information. This includes the upload
of configurations, the inquiry of fault lists, logbook and printing.
The User Class System Information does not allow you to save or create
new configuration files.
Password for system ac- The password for System Access protects the access to the NE individually
cess per NE (system) and allows you to control the access to NEs with common
management. The System Access Password belongs to the UCST menu
Management Network.
You can compose an expression of up to 7 letters and/or numbers to define
the password for System Access.
The System Access Password is unique for each NE and thus a part of the
configuration of the NE, while the Customer Identifier protects the access of
the UCST installation to the NE in the background and remains invisible to
you.

Backup procedures
UCST program files You should store the original CD-ROM with the UCST program files in a safe
place. This provides a safe backup of the program files and allows you new
program installations. Since the UCST requires only a little commissioning
(UCST files, Customer Id, Passwords) and the customer data files are pre-
served when uninstalling the UCST, you can reinstall the UCST if required.
Unless instructed by KEYMILE, you should not modify the ucst.ini file and
thus normally no backup of the ucst.ini file is required. If for any reason your
ucst.ini file has been customised after the installation of the UCST, you
should create a backup of the ucst.ini file however.
Do not modify the ucst.ini unless instructed by KEYMILE!
Unpredictable system behaviour might result.
As previously advised, you should store all passwords (especially the Cus-
tomer Identifier and System Manager) and details of your installation in a
safe place. The access to this information is normally restricted to the sys-
tem manager.
Embedded SW You should store the original data carrier (CD-ROM) with the ESW (Embed-
ded Software) files in a safe place.
Since the ESW is a centrally stored program code common for all operated
NEs (UMUX 1500/1200/900 only), you normally find ESW from several data
carriers in the directory FW. You should create a backup of the complete FW
directory in your UCST installation. This provides a safe backup of the ESW
files and allows you a quick recovery if needed. To backup the FW directory
you can proceed the same way as described in the paragraphs on the
backup of configuration data.
Configuration data The configuration data files for the UMUX and DSL systems are typical ex-
amples of application created data. The configuration data is automatically
stored in the NE as soon as it is downloaded to the NE.
You should store the configuration at the same time as a configuration file
(extension *.cfg) on a storage device of your PC/computer. The UCST instal-
lation utility creates the CFG default directory for configuration data. For
your convenience you should further segment this directory according to
your network structure and/or management domains and store the configu-
ration files produced per NE accordingly.
Although it is normally possible to recover the configuration data from the
NEs, you should systematically create a backup of all configuration data on
a safe medium. You should backup the configuration data periodically and
after important modifications of the configurations.
If you operate your EM as a host of a data communication network, you can
store copies of the configuration files on a server and benefit from the
backup procedure of the server.

Summary of commission- The instructions for commissioning your PC/computer below are only re-
ing quired for the management communication with the UMUX 1500/1200/900.
The Windows 2000 provides an environment that allows the system ad-
ministrator to assign user rights for the resources of the PC/computer. The
installation of the UCST and the commissioning of the PC/computer for man-
agement communication with the UCST requires administrative rights.
You need administrative rights on your PC/computer if you want to
install the UCST and commission the PC/computer for manage-
ment communication.

Installing the UCST Install the UCST. For detailed instructions, refer to the paragraphs "Installing
the UCST the first time" in this chapter.
Installing UCST RAS Mo- The serial communication with the UMUX 1500/1200/900 requires the instal-
dems lation of dedicated RAS modems for the DUN. The UCST installation utility
installs modems for all types of serial management communication inter-
faces that are available with the UMUX 1500/1200/900.
The RAS modems are interface programs which adapt application program
specific communications to the PC serial interface(s). For operation, the
RAS modems must be connected to the RAS / DUN.
Provided that the corresponding selection box in the Installation options
UCST dialogue has been tagged, the UCST installation utility will automati-
cally
Add the UCST RAS modems to the list of modems. However, the mo-
dems are not automatically installed and must be manually installed (ac-
cess via Control Panel Phone and Modem Options Modems Add

Commission the UCST Network and Dial-Up Connections and Phone-
book entries.
The UCST installation utility adds the UCST RAS modems (each modem
corresponding to a RAS connection) to the list of modems and creates an
entry in the corresponding UCST RAS modems Phonebook. You must in-
stall the modems on your PC/computer.

UCST Dial-Up Connections The UCST Dial-Up Connections control the communication procedures
and Phonebook (dialling, protocols, and addressing).
The installation of the UCST Dial-Up Connections initialises the correspond-
ing parameters and installs the UCST RAS modems Phonebook. The Dial-
Up Connections parameters normally require no changes except for the ad-
aptation of the Element Manager's IP-address and the transmission speed
for the serial communication.
The parameters of the UCST Dial-Up Connections are alternately accessible
via the
menu Control panel Network And Dial-Up Connections
Ucstras.pbk Phonebook.
The Ucstras.pbk file is the phonebook for the UCST RAS modems. The
UCST installation utility writes this file to the appropriate directory while
installing the UCST. The standard path for this phonebook is:
C:\<WinNT system directory>\system32\ras\Ucstras.pbk
Since the Phonebook defines the complete set of dialling parameters and
dialling procedures it is easier to change the Dial-Up parameters via the Net-
work And Dial-Up Connections dialogues.

For details, refer to the RS232 - USB converter manual.
Second entry for the same Windows 2000 Professional heavily relies on auto-detection. This feature
modem creates resource problems for manually added modems:
You manually add (by omitting the auto-detection) an external (dial-up)
modem (<name>) and a corresponding RAS connection (e.g. for UCST
use).
The next time you start your PC, Windows 2000 Professional detects
the "new" hardware (modem) and asks to add this modem to the modem
list.
There is no new entry added, but the existing manual entry is modified
(<name> modified) according to the auto-detection mechanism.
Your RAS connection may not work anymore, because Windows
has assigned some other modem to your RAS connection!
You can re-establish the function of the RAS connection by manually assign-
ing the modem (<name> eventually modified) back to the RAS connection.

Summary of commission- The instructions for commissioning your PC/computer below are only re-
ing quired for the management communication with the UMUX 1500/1200/900.
The Windows XP Professional provides an environment that allows the
system administrator to assign user rights for the resources of the
PC/computer. The installation of the UCST and the commissioning of the
PC/computer for management communication with the UCST requires ad-
ministrative rights.
You need administrative rights on your PC/computer if you want to
install the UCST and commission the PC/computer for manage-
ment communication.
In the case of doubts on your user rights or problems, ask your PC
Administrator for support!
The paragraphs below briefly describe the principal checks and steps of
commissioning with the Windows XP Professional operating system.
Steps prior to the UCST in- The Windows XP Professional operating system already includes all the
stallation components (e.g. Network and Dial-Up services) that are required to run the
UCST software.
The installation of the UCST software requires no special checks for Win-
dows components.

the UCST the first time" in this chapter.
Installing UCST RAS Mo- The serial communication with the UMUX 1500/1200/900 requires the instal-
dems lation of dedicated RAS modems for the DUN. The UCST installation utility
installs modems for all types of serial management communication inter-
faces that are available with the UMUX 1500/1200/900.
The RAS modems are interface programs, which adapt application program
specific communications to the PC serial interface(s). For operation, the
RAS modems must be connected to the RAS / DUN.
Provided that the corresponding selection box in the Installation options
UCST dialogue has been tagged, the UCST installation utility will automati-

UCST Dial-Up Connections The UCST Dial-Up Connections control the communication procedures
and Phonebook (dialling, protocols, and addressing).
The installation of the UCST Dial-Up Connections initialises the correspond-
ing parameters and installs the UCST RAS modems Phonebook. The Dial-
Up Connections parameters normally require no changes except for the ad-
aptation of the Element Manager's IP-address and the transmission speed
for the serial communication.
The parameters of the UCST Dial-Up Connections are alternately accessible
via the
menu Control panel Network Connections
Ucstras.pbk Phonebook.
The Ucstras.pbk file is the phonebook for the UCST RAS modems. The
UCST installation utility writes this file to the appropriate directory while
installing the UCST. The standard path for this phonebook is:
C:\<Windows directory>\system32\ras\Ucstras.pbk
Since the Phonebook defines the complete set of dialling parameters and
dialling procedures it is easier to change the Dial-Up parameters via the Net-
work Connections dialogues.
Do not change parameters unless instructed. The UCST installa-
tion utility has properly set up the modems and phonebook for their
corresponding RAS (interfaces).
The UCST installation utility initialises the UCST Dial-Up Connec-
tions automatically with default IP addresses.
You do not need to change these addresses to connect your
UCST to NEs with default IP addresses.
The sample dialogues below show the parameter settings for selected

sponding adapter in your PC/computer.
The installation of such an adapter requires installation on the Windows
XP Professional operating system level. The configuration of PC/computer
interfaces is part of the Windows XP Professional set-up and depends on
the hardware available, the version and language of Windows XP Profes-
sional.
Special care is required if the PC/computer uses several Ethernet interfaces
(e.g. for a LAN).
Installation of Ethernet The installation of an Ethernet adapter requires first the hardware installation
adapter of the adapter. Follow the instructions provided with the adapter and your
PC/computer. For the installation of the driver software you must know the
manufacturers name and the type of the adapter.

RAS Uses Modem Settings of the Last Modem Installed When Two
or More Modems Use the Same Serial Port
This article was previously published under Q312783
SYMPTOMS
When two or more modems are configured to use the same serial
COM port, RAS always uses the modem settings of the last modem
you installed.
RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, delete all of the modems you do not
use, and leave only the one modem that is physically connected to
your computer.
STATUS
This behaviour is by design.
The information in this article applies to:
Microsoft Windows 2000 Server SP1
Microsoft Windows 2000 Server SP2
In other words: The last installed modem always takes precedence over all
other installed modems using the same COM port.
When adding more than 1 modem to a serial communication port
(Windows 2000, XP Professional and Server 2003) the UCST
RAS connection on that port may not work anymore!
To avoid the problem do not assign any
modem to a resource (COM port) which is already assigned to
a UCST RAS connection.
UCST RAS connection to a resource (COM port) which is al-
ready assigned to some other RAS connection.
If the problem appears, reinstall the modem that you really want to
use (so that this modem is the last modem installed).
To bypass a possible lack of serial COM port resources you can use RS232
USB converters that support the connection of several serial modems via
USB ports. Such converters assign several COM<X> ports to the attached
USB port. This set-up is fully compatible with the UCST.
For details, refer to the RS232 - USB converter manual.
Second entry for the same Windows XP Professional heavily relies on auto-detection. This feature
modem creates double registration of manually added modems:
You manually (by omitting the auto-detection) add an external (dial-up)
modem (<name>) and a corresponding RAS connection (e.g. for UCST
use).
The next time you start your PC, Windows XP Professional detects the
"new" hardware (modem) and adds a corresponding entry to the modem
list with the index "<name> #2" (refer to the dialogue below).
EN/LZTBU 310 202/4 RB User Guide Systems, UCST / Installation & Commissioning A-77
Appendix A KEYMILE AG
Do not delete the second modem entry (<name> "#2") in the mo-
dem list!
If you remove this modem your RAS connection for the original
modem (<name>) does not work anymore.
You can re-establish the connection by deleting both entries from the list and
adding the modem afterwards again.

C.1 UCST communication network parameters and ucst.ini file
Methods and principles The UCST Element Agents read the information of available modems and
RAS connections from the "Communication" section in the ucst.ini file .To
allow the UCST Element Agent (Remote Permanent or Modem Point-to-
Point) to use new modems, corresponding information must be added to the
ucst.ini file. There are 2 methods to modify or add network connection pa-
rameters in the ucst.ini file:
Via UCST Communication Interface Manager
This tool allows you to install modems and RAS connections for the
UCST Element Agents and is available for UCST versions UCST R6B.
For details of this tool, refer to the paragraphs "Commissioning for mo-
dems" in chapter 3: "Installation & Commissioning Procedures for UCST".
Manually via editing the ucst.ini file (exceptionally only)
Direct editing of the ucst.ini file is only required if the UCST Com IF man-
ager (UCST Communication Interface Manager) is not available.
The paragraphs below provide a detailed description of the manual com-
missioning procedures required to add the name of your modem and
the corresponding RAS Modem Connection to the ucst.ini file.
Manual application To manually add the modem information to your ucst.ini file proceed as
follows:
1 Close all currently running UCST programs!
2 Open an explorer window and select the ucst.ini file in the parent di-
rectory with your UCST (This is the directory that you have specified
for the installation of the UCST).
3 Double click the ucst.ini file. This opens the Windows notepad with
the ucst.ini.
Do not forget to close all running UCST programs before you
start the configuration of the ucst.ini file!
Do not start the UCST before you have saved and closed the
editing of the ucst.ini file!
Closing the UCST afterwards overwrites your changes in the
ucst.ini file.

The ->A and ->B pointers mark the insertion points for your RAS
Connection and Modem names in the communication parameters se-
quence of the ucst.ini file:
->A for Remote Permanent connections
->B for Modem Point-to-Point connections
Please note that:
The ->A and ->B pointers do not exist in your real ucst.ini file!
The pointers are inserted for demonstration only!
Depending on the current release of your UCST the ucst.ini file
may contain additional information on the entries for RAS and
modems.
The connection and modem names (e.g. <MyA1Connection>,
<MyA1modem>) must literally match the corresponding names
of your RAS Modem Connection and modem!
You find the corresponding connection names in the
Network and Dial-Up Connection folder under Control Panel
for Windows 2000.
7 Insert the names of your RAS interface and modem at the ->A and/or
->B insertion points as instructed below:
->A Remote Permanent connections
For Remote Permanent connections, you must specify the name of
the RAS Modem Connection and the name of the Modem.
The ucst.ini file already contains the 2 entries for the UMUX
1500/1200/900 remote permanent connection:
- UCST RAS direct on F
- F, via standard a null modem
(Refer to the two lines on the top of the list which is shown in the fig-
ure above).
Add literally the terms shown below with the names of
your modem connection: <MyA1Connection>
your modem: <MyA1modem>

In the UCST you must create a Management Network with a "Perma-
nent" access type EA and the managed (remote) NE in the same LAN.
Figure C-5: Sample of a corresponding Management Network
If the LAN address (IP host address) of your remote NE is e.g. 10.1.2.1,
you create a "Permanent" access type EA which has e.g. the IP address
(Manager Id) 10.1.2.200.
