12 Configuring Alarm and Performance

Monitoring Parameters

This chapter introduces how to configure alarm and performance monitoringparameters in the T2000.

The following tasks are described:

Setting Network Wide Alarm Attributes






12-2

Setting NE Alarm Attributes

Setting Board/Port Alarm Attributes

Setting Trail Alarm Attributes

Setting Performance Monitoring Parameters

Setting Performance Monitor






12-3

12.1 Setting Network Wide Alarm Attributes

12.1.1 Creating Alarm Attribute Template

Purpose

Use this procedure to create alarm attribute template.

Setting Alarm Attributes NE by NE is very time-consuming. So the T2000 providesan easy way (creating alarm attribute template) to set alarm attributes for NEs.

Prerequisite

NM user with the authority of “system maintainer” or above.

Procedure

Step Action

1 Select [Alarm/Set Alarms/Customize Alarm Attribute Template] fromthe main menu.

2 Select a template from the “Template Name” drop-down list.

3 Modify the alarm attributes. Click <Save> to save the modification, orclick <Save As> and enter a template name to save as a newtemplate.






12-4

12.1.2 Creating Alarm Correlation Rules

Purpose

Use this procedure to create alarm correlation rules to suppress the alarms whichare induced by other alarms. Then troubleshooting will be easier.

Prerequisite


Procedure

Step Action

1 Select [Alarm/Set Alarms/Set Alarm Correlation Rules] from the main

menu.

2 Click <Create>, a new rule entry will be added. Select “Alarm 1” and“Alarm 2”, “Conditions” and “Action”.

3 Click <Apply> to confirm the creation.

4 Follow Step 2 and Step 3 to create more rules as you need.

12.1.3 Creating Fault Diagnosis Rule

Purpose

Use this procedure to help network maintenance engineers accumulate and shareexperience.






12-5

Prerequisite


Procedure

Step Action

1 Select [Alarm/Set Alarms/Set Fault Diagnosis Rules] from the mainmenu.

2 Right-click the “Fault Diagnosis Rules” folder and select [Add Rules]. A “Create Fault Diagnosis Rules” dialog box is displayed.

3 Select an alarm which you want to add diagnosis rule, click <OK> toconfirm. A new rule entry is added.

4 Right-click the new rule entry and select [Add Steps]. A “CreateDiagnosis Steps” dialog box is displayed.

5 Enter the “Alarm Causes”, “Diagnosis Method” and “ProcessingMethod” fields. Click <OK> to confirm. A step entry is added underthe rule entry.

Step Action

6 Follow Step 4 and Step 5 to add new step entries under the ruleentry.

7 If you need, you can right-click a step entry and select [Modify] tomodify the original contents.

8 Click <Apply> to confirm the adding and modification.

12.1.4 Setting Alarm Function Switch

Purpose

Use this procedure to enable the T2000 to automatically deal with alarms to reduceyour workload.

Prerequisite


Procedure

Step Action

1 Select [Alarm/Set Alarms/Set Alarm Function Switch] from the mainmenu.






12-7

Step Action

2 In the upper-left corner, select “Auto Acknowledge Switch”, and setalarm ending date.

Note:

For example: set the alarm ending date to 2, then the T2000 will

automatically acknowledge the alarms, which ended two days

before, at 3 a.m. every day.

3 In the lower-left corner, select one or more auto alarmsynchronization trigger events according to actual condition.

Note:

For example: If “When Starting the NM” is selected, the alarm

synchronization will be executed automatically when the NM isstarted up.

4 In the upper-right corner, select “Enable Alarm Correlation Analysis”to enable the alarm correlation analysis function. Refer to the note inthe corner for details.

5 In the lower-right corner, select “Automatically Modify End Alarm intoHistory Alarm”. Refer to the note in the corner for details.

6 Click <Apply> to confirm the settings.

12.1.5 Enabling Alarm Notification to E-mail or Pager

Purpose

Use this procedure to facilitate maintenance engineers know the network runningstatus momentarily. The T2000 provides the alarm notification function. If an alarmoccurs, the T2000 will send a message to an appointed engineer’s email-box, pageror cell-phone.

Prerequisite







12-8

Procedure

Step Action

1 Select [Alarm/Set Alarms/Set Alarm SMS Notification] from the main

menu.

2 Click <Create> to add a notification entry.

Note:

1) There are three communication modes: Beep-Pager, mobile

phone and email.

2) Select Alarm Severity, Alarm Type and NE. The T2000 will send

messages only when alarms compliant with the settings occur.

Thus you can focus on the important alarms.

3) Up to fifteen notification entries can be created.

4 If the communication mode is email, you need to click

<Communication Settings> to set the SMTP address.

5 If the communication mode is Beep-Pager, you need to click<Communication Settings> to select the serial port connected withModem.






12-9

Purpose

Use this procedure to set an alarm box. Then the T2000 can remind maintenanceengineers by the alarm box when alarms occur.

Prerequisites

NM user with the authority of “system administrator” or above.

The advanced menu has been started in the "Customize Function".

Procedure

Step Action1 Select [Alarm/Set Alarm Box] from the main menu. A “Warning” dialog

box (it prompts the alarm box is not enabled) is displayed. Click<OK>. An “Alarm Box” dialog box is displayed.

2 Select the “Alarm Box Settings” tab. Select the “Enable Alarm Box”and set the communication parameters of the alarm box with theT2000 Client computer.

3 Click <Apply>. A “prompt” dialog box (Please restart the client tomake the settings effective) is displayed. Click <OK>.

4 Restart the T2000 Client program to enable the settings.

5 Re-enter the alarm box setting dialog box.

6 Select the “Alarm Box Operations” tab. You can turn off one or moreindicators as you need. Or click <Mute Alarm Sound> to turn off thesound of the alarm box. If you click <Mute Alarm Sound> again, thesound will come back.






12-10

12.1.7 Setting Alarm Dump Condition

Purpose

Use this procedure to set alarm dump condition.

To avoid the alarm data overflowing or being damaged, you need to dump alarmdata in time.

You can dump the alarm data manually. Otherwise, you can set the alarm dumpcondition. The T2000 will dump the alarm data as you need.

There are two methods for auto dumping the alarm data: Dumping when Overflow,Dumping in schedule. You can select one method or both of them.

Prerequisite


Procedure

Step Action

1 Select [Alarm/Alarm Dump] from the main menu.






12-11

Step Action

2 Enter the Maximum Storage Capacity, Dump number and Capacity Alarm Threshold for the “Dumping when Overflow” method.

Set “Dump Periodically or not” to “Yes”. Set “Dump Interval” and“Time Limit” for the “Dumping in schedule” method.

Note:

1) The storage capacity refers to the maximum number of

records that can be kept in the T2000 database.

2) The dump number refers to the number of alarm records to be

dumped at a time.

3) The capacity alarm threshold refers to a number of records,

when the records in the T2000 database exceed this number, an

alarm occurs and the T2000 executes dumping operation.

4) The time limit refers to a period, when the T2000 executes

dumping operation, only those records occurred earlier than this

period will be dumped.

3 Click <OK> to confirm the settings.






12-13

Step Action

3 Select an NE entry and set attributes for it.

Note:

1) There are two saving modes: wrap, stop. If the saving mode is“wrap”, when the alarm register is full, the oldest alarms will be

deleted for saving new alarms. If the saving mode is “stop”, when

the alarm register is full, new alarms will be discarded.

2) There are three reversion modes: no reversion, auto-reversion

and manual reversion. If the reversion mode is “no reversion”, all

the alarms will be reported. If the reversion mode is

“auto-reversion”, the configured but unloaded ports will not report

alarms until the ports are loaded with service. If the reversion

mode is “manual reversion”, all the ports of the NE will not report

alarms and the reversion indicator will flash.

3) If the correlative suppressing switch is enabled, alarms inducedby other alarms will not be reported.

4) If the delay switch is enabled, the following two attributes need

to be set.

5) Alarm occurring delay time refers to a period of time. If an alarm

is detected continuously for this period of time, the T2000

considers this alarm occurs.

6) Alarm ending delay time refers to a period of time. If an alarm is

not detected continuously for this period of time, the T2000

considers this alarm is already ended.







12-15

Step Action

5 If you have created an alarm template for the boards, you can click<Open Template> and select the desired template. And click <OpenTemplate> to confirm the selection.
