2 LOCAL CRAFT INTERFACE

2.1 LCI Terminal Overview

The LCI terminal is used for installing, provisioning and maintainingnetwork elements. It is connected to the BS/BU and TS/Bus via the LCIport RS-232 interface. All LCI software resides in the BS/BU. The LCIterminal can also be used to manage the Termainal Stations associatedwith the Base Station using the air link.

Using the LCI terminal, the operator can obtain information regardingcurrent active services and the resources (Telecom and air links) that arebeing utilized by the network elements. The information presented is at alltime accurate and updated.

The LCI terminal is used to configure network elements. Base Stationelements and associated Terminal Stations. The BS/Bus and TS/Bus eachstore their current configuration (hardware/software installation data,operating parameters, subscriber data) internally. The operator can alwaysretrieve specific up-to-date information about the configuration of thesystem and the individual network elements via the operator PC.

Using the LCI terminal, the operator can define and/or retrieve thefollowing:

Physical installation data

Service provisioning

Activate BS/BUs and TS/BUs

Activate individual BS/BU and TS/BU ports connected to networkelements

Current active alarms

Software downloads

Communications software (PROCOMM. PCPLUS, PROWIN etc.).

3.1 LCI Structure

LCI parameters in the Base Station and the Terminal Station are groupedaccording to their function, as displayed in the main menu(see Figure 3-3). Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-2 illustrates the LCI program treefor the BS/BU and the TS/BU.

1. Configuration Parameters include all parameters required for the initialsystem configuration:

! Radio parameters include all parameters required to establishradio connections.

! Administrative Parameters include all parameters required to setthe operational status.

! Telecom Interface parameters include all parameters required toset the Telecom port physical layer such as E1, V.35, X.21 etc.

! Service Parameters (Base Station only) include all parametersrequired for establishing a service between the Base Station andthe Terminal Station.

2. Maintenance Parameters include all parameters required to determinethe equipment operational status.

! System Tests includes various loopback testing

! Alarms and errors include all parameters required to indicatesystem events.

3.2 Starting and LCI Session

Attach the Local Craft Terminal to the BS/BU LCI port, using an availableCOM port with the following settings:

9600 bps baud rate

no parity

8 data bits

1 stop bit

The LCI software is embedded in the BU RAM and uses a VT-100 terminalcompatible, RS-232 interface.

After making the LCI connection, run the communications software.

NOTE

Set the terminal type to ANSIin the communications software.

While the BS/BU is initializing, a number of messages are displayed on theCraft terminal.

After the initialization has completed, the Main Menu is displayed on theCraft screen.

To re-display the LCI menu screen, press .

The Global Navigation Commands are attached to each LCI screen.

Type the then press at any timein order to perform therequested function. The following table details the global key symbolcommands for the Main structure.

TABLE 3-1: GLOBAL NAVIGATION KEY SYMBOL COMMANDS

SYMBOLS FUNCTION

*Returns to the Main (root) menu in the software.

^ Returns to the level above the current position.

= Refreshes the Terminal Screen

% Switches Error Message Display ON and OFF

+ Increases the print level

- Decreases the print level

3.3 Accessing the Main Menu

Press to access the main menu. From the Main Menu you canaccess all other LCI functions. Figure 3-3 displays the LCI Main Menu.

FIGURE 3-3: LCI MAIN MENU

3.4 Accessing the Previous MenuFrom any of the LCI screens, you can access the previous menu in theLCI hierarchy by pressing ^ . For a description of the LCI hierarchysee Figure 3-1 and Figure 3-1.

3.5 Refreshing the Screen

3.7 Adjusting the Print Level

The LCI reports system alarms and events by displaying messages on theterminal monitor. The type of messages that are printed depends on the

set print level.

To adjust the print level:

Click + to advance the print level.

Click - to reduce the print level.

If the print level is changed, the new setting is displayed on the LCImonitor.

Table 3-2 lists and describes the print levels. Print levels are listed in

descending order (from highest to lowest), and each print level includesthe messages of all levels lower than it.

TABLE 3-2: LCI PRINT LEVELS

PRINT LEVEL DESCRIPTION

Info The default level. Displays all alarm and events messages,including status messages (e.g., scanning frequencies).

Warning Displays alarms that are the Warning level.

Error Displays alarms that are the Error level.

Fatal Displays alarms that are the Fatal level.Display Displays no alarms or events, only the LCI menus.

None Displays no alarms, events or LCI menus (displays a blankscreen). If the monitor displays a blank screen, press + - to reduce the Display print level.

3.8 Ending an LCI Session

The LCI, being the primary interface to the system, is used to diagnose

problems.

To end and LCI session, disconnect the serial cable from the Base Stationport.

3.9 SNMP Based Management

Software for managing the WALKair V3.1 contains the following interfaces:

! Ethernet for local management

! Local Craft Interface

WALKnet, WALKairs management system is connected to the BS-BUs viaEthernet interface. All BS-BUs at the Base Station are connected to anEthernet hub. Ethernet traffic is carried to the NMS central point via routerconnected to the DCN network.

Each BS-BU is an SNMP agent with a unique IP address. Each BS-BUserves as a proxy agent to its Terminal Stations. The managementprotocol between the BS-BU and its Terminal Station is proprietary and

transferred out of the payload traffc band. The WALKnet SNMP basedmanagement system is described in the WALKnet User Manual.

WALKnet provides graphical visualization of network objects anddescribes each network node status. In addition, the NMS enablesparameter changes, traffic control, performance monitoring, statistical, andauditing functions.
