2 Introduction to DN 2 Manager
This chapter introduces DN 2 Manager, its main functions and the system
requirements it sets on your computer.
The DN 2 Manager program provides an easy-to-use interface for managing the
cross-connections and settings of Nokia's DN 2 Dynamic Node Equipment. DN
2 Manager runs on a PC-compatible computer under Windows NT Workstation,Windows NT Terminal Server, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, and Windows
XP.
DN 2 nodes can also be managed by using the Service Terminal or Service
Terminal Emulator program which also runs on a PC-compatible computer
under Windows NT Workstation, Windows NT Terminal Server, Windows
2000, Windows 2003, and Windows XP.
2.1 Node manager system architecture
DN 2Manager is an NMS/10 -compatible management product. All the
NMS/10- compatible node managers can operate at the same time on the same
standard PC. NMS/10 supports awide range of node managers using different
communications software to manage different kinds of equipment.
2.2 General features
DN 2 Manager has been especially designed to manage the DN 2 Dynamic
Node Equipment. Its main function is to facilitate the creating and editing of
crossconnections in a node.
DN 2 Manager can manage one node or file at a time either in quick start-up or
normal mode.
The main functions you may perform using DN 2 Manager are the following:
• bring a new DN 2 node into use
• add and remove units

• connect to and communicate with a DN 2 node currently operating on a
network
• set synchronisation settings
• create and edit cross-connection tables and conditions
• reconfigure the cross-connections and equipment configuration of a DN 2
node to modify its function in the network
• manage node files
• import and export data between a DN 2 node and a file to copy settings
from one unit, or node, to another
• read status information and statistics from a DN 2 node, including
information on any alarms that have been generated on the nodes
• monitor alarms
• set on controls on the node
• perform tests
• configure DYNACARD products with a Macro Service Terminal
Emulator (separate products)
• poll through the service bus addresses and list the equipment found on the
screen.
2.2.1 About cross-connection tables and conditions
The cross-connections in the DN 2 are arranged in cross-connection tables. A
table contains a set of cross-connections that can be operated as one object.
Several tables may be defined for each equipment and, although they can be
combined (see below), the basic rule is that only one table is active at a time
and, therefore, cross-connections are shown one table at a time on the DN 2
Manager display.
Individual cross-connections and whole tables can be set conditional, so that a
table is activated automatically as a response to a trigger (for example, a fault)
in the transmission network.
Tables may be combined. This feature is especially useful with conditional
tables, since usually only some of the cross-connections need to be changed because of a fault. The fixed cross-connections can be defined in an
unconditional table and the modifiable ones in conditional tables, each of which
is combined with an unconditional table. When any of the conditional tables is
activated, the fixed cross-connections become active as well.

2.2.2 Compatibility with DN 2 nodes
DN 2 Manager C5.4 can be used for controlling the DN 2 CU SW versions
03A, 04A, 05A, 06A, 07B, 07C, and IU2 SWversions 03A, 04A, 05A, 06A,
07B, 07C, and 07D (also SW version 02A for both units, with restrictionsmentioned in Appendix A). After DN 2 Manager has been installed, a DN 2
Manager Read Me icon will appear in the DN 2 program group. DN 2 Manager
Read Me provides information on the compatibility between DN 2 Manager and
DN 2 equipment software.
2.2.3 DYNACARD support
DYNACARDunits are managed by using the D-card Manager and/or Macro
STE program. When you want to change or copy the settings of a DYNACARD
unit, D-card Manager is started automatically for supported units. If it is notavailable or a unit is not supported, Macro STE (Service Terminal Emulator) is
started.
D-Card Manager C1.2 and Macro STE are not included in the DN 2 Manager
program but must be purchased separately.

2.3 User interface
DN 2Manager serves as a simple-to-use interface between the user and the DN
2 node, and provides a graphical presentation of the equipment being managed.
The user interface is realised by an application window known as DN 2
Manager window. This window contains all the other windows which display
different views of the node being managed. The different windows are:
• Equipment View
• Ports View
• Connection Tables View
• Connections View
• Graphical Connections View
• Conditions View

DN 2 Manager C5.4 for DN 2 Dynamic Node Equipment
14 (177) ©Nokia Corporation DN0662285Issue 1-0 en
• Alarms View
• DYNACARD Bus Time Slot Allocation View.
All equipment settings (such as unit configuration or port settings) are sent to
the equipment immediately when the dialog box is closed. Cross-connectiontables, connections and the related conditions are edited in the Manager and
have to be sent with a separate command to the node. The correctness of the
settings is checked in the respective dialogs. Sending of incorrect information is
either prevented or a warning is given in a message box.
It is also possible to configure a virtual node. This means that there is no
connection to the actual node but the configuration is saved on the disk of the
PC. This way the configuration can be done beforehand and sent later from the
file to the node.
DN 2 Manager also provides on-line help on the use of the Manager software.
2.3.1 Cross-connections
The DN 2 allows the use of the following cross-connection types:
• Ordinary through-connections (B-type)
• Digital common channels (C-type)
• Fixed data (D-type)
• Protection switch (Y-type).
Connections of types B, C, and D can also be defined as conditional.
A separate mask connection (M-type) is not available, but can be defined as a
part of the connection types mentioned above.
A more detailed description of the cross-connection types can be found in the
DN 2 Operating Handbook, part 'Functional Description'. On the display,
different types can be identified by respective character symbols.
The cross-connection tables are presented in the Connections View window.
Figure 3. Connections View window

Introduction to DN 2 Manager
DN0662285Issue 1-0 en
©Nokia Corporation 15 (177)
Alternatively, cross-connections can also be presented in the Graphical
Connections View window (Figure 4). The graphical mode is practical when
you are defining the initial configuration of a network node or making major
changes in a node. This mode is also useful when getting acquainted with the
capabilities of the managed equipment. Minor changes are sometimes easier tomake in the normal Connections View window because its output is similar to a
cross connection table.
Figure 4. Graphical Connections View window
Tip
Because the DN 2 allows cross-connections on port (2M), time slot, or bit level,
each of these levels is shown on the display.
All levels appear symmetrically on the upper (Rx side) and lower (Tx side) half of the display as a bar, and the space between the bars represents the cross-
connection matrix.
Each square on the topmost (and lowest) bar represents one port. The unused
orts are greyed. Any of the ports may be selected and zoomed onto time slot
evel. Exactly the same way, one of the time slots may be zoomed onto bit level.

2.4 Security considerations
NodeDN 2 nodes can be protected against unauthorised access with a password or by
equiring the PIN signal to be grounded in the service terminal connector P1 of
the CU (see the DN 2 Operating Handbook). When the password protection has
been activated on a node, you must give the correct password via the Manager
to get privileges. When the PIN protection is in use, ground first the PIN and
after that select Local PIN Ground in the Configure → Acquire User
Privileges... menu.
During extended Node Manager sessions we recommend that you use a long
time-out, check the Remember Password option in the Options menu or
temporarily remove the node protection to avoid unnecessary interruptions
cused by protection time-outs.
Manager security
The security of Node Manager can be enhanced by using Windows NT
Workstation user groups and directory level security. With NTFS, authorisation
to Node Manager files and directories can be granted either to user groups or
single users with different levels of granularity.
By using the Windows NT Workstation security system, all unauthorised access
to protected Node Manager files can be effectively prevented. This includes
possible attempts to boot the computer with an alternative operating system or
to write hostile software to read out the Node Manager files and directories. If
access through a computer network is a threat, the network files to be protected
can be placed into a Windows NT Workstation file server.
Tip
Keep the Node Manager installation CD-ROM and this DN 2 Node ManagerUser's Manual in a safe place in order to prevent unauthorised access to any DN
2 nodes and unauthorised use of the DN 2 Node Manager program.

5.1 Installing a new DN 2 node
Installation of a node means setting up a completely new node so that it can be
used on a network for data transmission.
Before starting the installation, prepare a network level plan that includes the
network structure, the node types and their Q1 addresses. Within each node,
plan the types and slots of the plug-in units.
The default speed of the DN 2 PC Interface is 4800.
Tip
It is recommended that the Install All Units option in the Install Unit dialog
box is used only when the entire node is taken into use for the very first time.
To take a new DN 2 node into use:
1. Connect to the node by choosing the Manage→ Connect... menu item.
(See Section 4.3, Accessing the managed nodefor detailed instructions.)
2. Give the Configure→Add Units menu command. Choose the Install All
Units option in the Install Unit dialog box to include all equipped units in
the equipment configuration. The installation data of the entire
configuration is read from the node to DN 2 Manager.
3. Check that you have given an address and necessary identifications for
the node and that the data hybrid settings are correct. For further information, refer to the DN 2 Operating Handbook, part 'Operation'.
To take a new DN 2 node into use with saved configuration file:
If you are installing several nodes with almost similar settings, you can use the
backup file of the first node as a starting point for the configuration of the other
DN 2 nodes.
1. Connect directly to the new node with the common address (4095) andinstall all units as described in the previous section.
2. Open a backup file by giving the Manage → Restore... menu command.
3. This brings up the Restore File dialog box (Figure 10) where you can
choose the name of the backup file you want to use as a configuration
file. Click Open to send the configuration to the node.

5.2 Adding a new unit to an existing node
This section contains information on how to install DN 2 units in the node.
To install a new unit, when connected to a node:
1. Make sure that the units to be installed have been properly inserted in the
subrack.
2. You may use the saved unit dump of an existing, similar type of unit as a
starting point for the settings of the new unit.
3. In the Equipment View window, click a slot and choose the menu
command Configure → Add Units... or double-click a slot. The Install
Unit dialog box (Figure 11) appears.
By default, the slot number you clicked is selected in the Free Slots list box.
This is a multiple selection list, so you can choose several new units at the same
time as long as they are of the same type.
Note
Do not use the option Install All Units to add a single unit because this
command will reallocate all time slots. The command is intended to be used
only when an entire DN 2 equipment is taken into use for the very first time.
4. Click the Send button to add the selected unit(s) to the Equipment View
window. The dialog box does not close until you click the Close button,
so you can install several new units of different type without closing thedialog box.

1. You may use the saved unit dump of an existing, similar type of unit as astarting point for the settings of the new unit.
2. In the Equipment View window, click a slot and choose the menu
command Configure→ Add Units... or double-click a slot. The Install
Unit dialog box (Figure 11) appears.
As a default, the slot number you clicked is selected in the Free Slots list box.
This is a multiple selection list, so you can choose several new units at the same
time as long as they are of the same type.
Since you are working off-line, you need to specify the Unit Type, Hardware
Unit Id, and Program Id manually for each new unit. You can find the Id
information in your DN 2 user manuals. (For example, for an IU2 the HardwareUnit Id could be CU24101.00 04A and Program Id CS24160 07C.) This Id
information is used by the DYNACARD manager software package, so if you
are not using that, you may leave the Id fields empty.
Click the Send button to add the selected unit(s) to the Equipment View
window. The dialog box does not close until you click the Close button, so you
can install several new units of different type without closing the dialog box.
5.3 Removing a unit from an existing node
This section contains information on how to remove units from a node or a file.
To remove a unit from a node, when connected to a node or a file:
1. Select from the subrack picture of the Equipment View window the unit
slot from which a unit should be removed.
2. Choose Configure → Remove Unit.
5.4 Navigating in the Graphical Connections Viewwindow
The Graphical Connections View window (Figure 12) opens with the menu
command Tables → Graphical Connections View. The window contains two
horizontal bars consisting of boxes numbered from 1 to 40. Each box represents
a 2M port in the DN 2 node.

Figure 12. Graphical Connections View window
The separator after every second port indicates the unit boundary. The IU2 units
(consisting of two 2 Mbit/s ports) are indicated with port numbers. Boxeswithout port numbers denote that either the unit location is empty or the unit in
the location cannot contain cross-connections (for example, CU or
DYNACARD).
Tip
Cross-connections may be created in unit locations which have an IU2 unit
installed, because the connections are valid only if there is an IU2 unit in that
particular location.
The cross-connection matrix is the area between the upper and the lower
resource. Unidirectional connections are displayed with a dashed line and bidirectional connections with a solid line. The master direction is denoted with
white text on grey background. Connection lines in the activated tables are
shown in blue colour, other connections in white.
The information field shows the number of the cross-connection table, the
number of the activated table, the near end and far end names of the selected
port, and the selections made in the working area. When creating a cross-
connection, the Edit Connection dialog box is prefilled according to the
selections made in the working area.

5.6 Creating cross-connections
You can find the most frequently needed Tables menu commands in the pop-up
menu by clicking the right mouse button. For more information about usingthese commands, see Section 6.25.4, Tables menu.
The connection types can also be selected in the Tables → Add Connection...
menu or by clicking the appropriate toolbar buttons.
As an example, a bidirectional time slot level through-connection (B2-
connection) is created to a cross-connection table. (The various connection
types are described in more detail in Chapter 6, Reference, Sections 6.28, 6.29,
6.31, and 6.32 and in the DN 2 Operating Handbook.) The resources in the
connection to be created are the following: the Tx/Rx-resource is time slot 1 in
port 1 and the Rx/Tx-resource is time slot 2 in port 2.
To create a cross-connection:
1. Select the resources in the working area as specified above. Click the
right mouse button and select the Add B-connection command on the
pop-up menu to display the Add B-Connection dialog box (see Figure
20).
Tip
The port and time slot text boxes are prefilled according to the selections made
in the working area. If you wish to give a name to the connection, continue from
step 2, otherwise go directly to step 4.2. Click the Name text box in the Properties field.
3. Type in a name for the connection.
4. Click the OK button. The cross-connection created will appear in the
working area.
One cross-connection has now been created to a cross-connection table. Other
cross-connections to the same table can be created exactly the same way.
Note that unlike other settings, the cross-connections are not automatically sent
to a node when you close the dialog box but need to be sent with a separate
command (see Section 5.8).
5.7 Creating conditions
Conditions can be created either by clicking the Add Cond... button in the Edit
Connection dialog boxes or by giving the Tables → Add Condition... menu

6.6 Add Condition dialog box
This dialog box is used for adding conditions. Conditions are sent to the node or
saved to a file together with the connection tables with the commands Manage→ Send Tables or Manage→ Save.
The dialog box opens when you choose the Tables→AddCondition menu
item, or when you click the Add Cond... button in the Table Condition dialog
box or the Add Cond... button in any of the Add Connection dialog boxes.
Tip
The pilot conditions (0 and 1), always false (254) and always true (255)
conditions do not need to be separately defined.

Condition TypeSpecifies the type of the condition.
A Common condition is active for all ports. It is provided with a unique
condition number from 101 to 164. It can be used in cross-connections and
cross connection tables.
A Port condition is specific only to one port which is defined in the Tx Port
field. The port condition number (2...64) is unique for the given Tx-port; that is,
the same port condition number can be used for different Tx-ports.
Tip
When adding a condition to a cross-connection, the Tx port must be the same
for the condition and the cross-connection.
Number
Shows the Id-number identifying the condition. Manager proposes a number
which is the smallest free common condition number, but you may change the
proposed number. The even condition numbers have higher priority than the
odd numbers.
Some of the condition numbers have been predefined:
• Numbers 0 and 1 are reserved for the pilot channel.
• Number 254 is reserved for the always false condition.
• Number 255 is reserved for the always true condition.
Definition Type
Specifies the condition that has to be met.
Bit Condition observes the polarity of a bit as defined in the True When field.
The condition is true when the polarity of the bit in the incoming signal is the
same as in the condition definition.
Port State Condition observes the fault state (serious fault or not serious fault)
of one 2M signal. The condition is true when no serious faults are detected.
True When
Specifies the true polarity value for the condition. This field is only enabled
when the Definition Type has been set as Bit Condition.
Bit = 1 indicates that the condition is true when the selected Rx bit is 1.
Bit = 0 indicates that the condition is true when the selected Rx bit is 0.

field is only enabled when the Condition Type option has been set to Port.
Rx connection point button defines the connection point. The fields Port, Time
slot, and Bit in this button display the corresponding connection point. Theconnection is defined on bit level when definition type is Bit Condition and on
port level when definition type is Port State Condition. Any 2M port that has
an installed IU2 unit in the corresponding slot is valid for the Port State
Condition and any time slot 0...31 and any bit 1...8, including the signalling
bits a...d, is valid for the Bit Condition.

6.15 Connection Tables View window
This window provides an overview of the cross-connection tables of the
managed node or file. A table is a group of connections that need to be active at
the same time and share a common table number. There are unconditional and
conditional tables. You may define conditions for a conditional table.
The tables are also classified by number as follows:
• 1...9, 19, 30...39 are unconditional
•
10...18, 20...28 are conditionalSome of the tables have special purposes:
• Tables 9 and 19 are test tables that can be used for testing temporary
connections.
• Table 29 contains common conditions and table conditions.
• Table 30 contains the connections that are always active when the
activated table number is smaller than 32.
• Table 31 is an idle table and specifies the bits transmitted in the
undefined time slot bits.
• Tables 32 to 39 are fixed tables that cannot be modified. These are usedfor production testing purposes only.
Conditional tables have a priority which depends on the number of the table (the
lower the number, the higher the priority). If one of the conditional tables is
activated (for example 13), the table actually activated is the one (in group
13...18) with the highest priority whose conditions give the value 'true' (for
example 15). The tables lower than the activated value are not taken into
account.
The table hierarchy is displayed as a graphical block diagram and the main
properties of the tables as a simple list. The activated table is tagged with the
text "Activated" in the appropriate row. You can check the currently active table
by giving the menu command Tables→ Show Active Table Number.
You can easily display the contents of any table in the Connections View
window by double-clicking a table in graphical diagram. You can also edit
condition settings of a conditional table by giving the Tables→Table
Condition... menu command.

(CRC) specified in ITU-T recommendations. The options are:
• In Use
• Out of Use.
Status Change
This option defines whether an alarm is given after a status change. The status
changes when settings or connections are modified (for example, a connection
definition or a conditional connection is modified) at unit or port level. The
default setting is No alarm.
The options are:
Alarm, MD Use An alarm is triggered when the node's service busis accessed through Mediation Device, DN 2Manager, and Service Terminal, and the settingsare modified either through DN 2 Manager orService Terminal.

Protection
In this field, you can view and edit the internal bus protection. Note that if
internal bus protection is used in the DN 2 node, the maximum number of IU2sin a cartridge is 10, and the units must be installed in locations 1 to 10. If units
are added to locations 11 −>, the internal bus must be set unprotected.
The options are:
Unprotected (a Run Diagnostic Test message is given when afault occurs)
Protected (a bus of better quality is used when a faultoccurs)
Storage ModeIn this field, you can define the storage mode for connection table related
settings.
The options are:

In this dialog box, you can add new units into the node installation.
The dialog box opens when you choose the Configure→ Add Units... menu
item.
If you are managing a node, make sure that the units to be added to the
installation have been inserted in the subrack. Adding units actually causes the
DN 2 CU to check the requested unit locations for unit identification
information. The actual types of the units are read from the node itself and thus
you cannot modify them.
If you are managing a file, you must also give the type of the unit to be
installed.

Glossary
activated table Activated Table in a node refers to the table that has been requested to be active
in the node. If the table is unconditional, it is also the active table. If the table is
conditional, the condition determines whether the table is active or not.active table The term Active Table refers to the table that has been selected in the DN 2
node.
If the table is unconditional, it is also the used table.
If the table is conditional, it depends on the table condition whether the table is
in use or not. The number of the active table in the cross-connection dump does
not therefore necessarily refer to the table that is actually in use. Use the Tables
→ Show Active Table Number menu command to find out the table in use in
the DN 2 node.
cross-connection A connection defined in one connection command. The levels available are
port, time slot, half time slot, and bit level.
cross-connection
dump
Cross-connection tables, the protecting port for each port, conditions, table
conditions (if any created), and the number of the active table currently in the
working space are saved into the equipment in dump mode. The dump mode is
also used in the communication betweenDN 2Manager and the equipment. In
the dump mode the data is compressed to save the memory capacity of the
equipment
