COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System Connecting ACCULINK Multiplexers The NMS provides the following two forms of network management support for ACCULINK multiplexer products: • Alert management • Command support The alert management feature permits the NMS to report alarms and events from the multiplexers. The command feature allows the NMS to send tests and commands to the multiplexer and display the results on the host processor.
Connecting the Components One Local 719 NETWORKER If the configuration includes a 719 NETWORKER running ACCULINK 3.K firmware, then all three NMS ports can be connected to the NETWORKER (Figure 4-16). Earlier versions of the firmware do not support the command language and consequently must be used in conjunction with the ACCULINK 74x (see the One Local ACCULINK Multiplexer and One 719 NETWORKER section for details). Figure 4-16.
COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System Two Local ACCULINK Multiplexers Each 74x multiplexer has two NAPs. Consequently, if two local 74x multiplexers are used, all three multiplexer ports can connect to any three of the four available NAPs. The NAPs are then individually configured to provide transmission compatibility. Figure 4-17 shows the connections for two local ACCULINK multiplexers.
Connecting the Components One Local ACCULINK Multiplexer and One 719 NETWORKER If only one 74x multiplexer is present at the local site, a 719 NETWORKER can be used to multiplex the alert and cut-through information over a single supervisory data link (SDL). The alert and cut-through connections enter the 719 NETWORKER via channel ports. The SDL exits the 719 NETWORKER through a link and connects to one of the 74x NAPs. The second NAP is devoted to the command port.
COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System One Local ACCULINK Multiplexer For users with small networks, a single local 74x multiplexer may be sufficient. The event and command ports are directly connected to the two NAPs. Multiplexer menu access is not essential; nearly all of the functionality built into the multiplexer menu system is available through 6800 Series NMS commands. If users need to access the internal menu system of the multiplexer, they can connect a terminal to a 74x NAP.
Connecting the Components Connecting an External Systems Port To connect a Supervisory NAP on the 74x multiplexer to the external systems port on the host processor, you will need the following materials: • 035-0153-0031 cable • 002-0039-0031 connector To establish the connection, perform the following steps: 1. Connect the 035-0153-0031 cable to the IPC-1600 port that is configured as the external systems port. 2. Connect the other end of the 035-0153-0031 cable to a 002-0039-0031 connector. 3.
COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System To connect a 719 NETWORKER to the host processor, perform the following steps: 1.

Connect the 002-0021-0031 connector to any unused data channel port on the 719 NETWORKER.
Connecting the Components To support the command port, connect the 719 NETWORKER to the 74x multiplexer as follows. Connecting the 719 NETWORKER to the 74x Multiplexer The connection between the 74x multiplexer and the 719 NETWORKER serves as the external supervisory data link (SDL) for transmitting alert and supervisory information between the network and the host processor. This is only used when a pre-3.K version of the 719 NETWORKER is used with the 74x multiplexer.

COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System Overview This chapter describes how and when to install the required software for the host processor, User Interface Processor (UIP), full-feature workstations and basic-feature workstations. 6800 NMS Application Software This package is installed in the host processor during system manufacture for the Altos 5000 platform. Installation of this software on the 15000 platform must be done at the customer site.
Loading and Restoring Software Order of Installation The order of software package installation is important. The typical NMS installation is an upgrade from a pre-existing 6800 Series NMS. To properly install the NMS on the host processor for a site already running a previous release of the NMS, follow the order of general steps defined below: 1. Backup the existing database. 2. Load the seven volume set of 6800 NMS Application software (Release 4.2). 3. Load the PTF base software (Release 4.2.1). 4.
COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System Network Preinstallation Preparation The NMS host processor, user interface processor (UIP), and full-feature workstations communicate over a local area network which requires some consideration and preparation prior to installing the various NMS software packages. Each processor must have, in addition to the TCP/IP software, both a node name and an inter-processor (IP) address assigned to it.
Loading and Restoring Software Customized Network Configuration Where the NMS will be installed at a site with an existing local area network, the Network Administrator there may require that the NMS node names and IP addresses follow the standards of that site. This custom installation is also required for the Altos 15000. If the NMS has not been factory installed, the node names and IP addresses can be set during the normal NMS installation procedures.

COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System NOTE Database migration from a System Controller to Release 4.2 NMS is still possible but is outside the intent of this document. Contact your Field Service Representative for assistance in migrating from a System Controller. CAUTION If you are migrating from a host whose name is not unix or a UIP whose name is not uip-1, you must reinstall both UNIX and NMS on those processors. When reinstalling, you must specify the name(s) from the previous NMS.
Performing Migration NOTE If there are any 741 nodes in your network, you must know the node number before executing the migration procedure. If you do not know which nodes are 741 nodes, execute the Hardware Module Summary (hms) command to each 740 configured node in your network; this command causes a node to identify itself. Release 1 Database Migration When a customer migrates the database from the Release 1 NMS to the Release 4.
COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System The following databases will not be migrated: • Port configuration database • User profile databases • Routines and scheduler databases • Trouble tickets The databases that are not migrated must be manually entered into the Release 4.2. For this purpose, print a hard copy of user profiles, routines, schedules, and trouble tickets that need to be migrated.
Performing Migration Device Model • All letters are converted to uppercase. • All characters except numbers, periods, and hyphens, are converted to hyphens, and successive hyphens are converted to a single hyphen. Serial Number • All letters are converted to lowercase. • All characters except numbers, periods, and hyphens, are converted to hyphens, and successive hyphens are converted to a single hyphen. Circuit Name • If two devices are connected, they should have the same circuit name.
COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System • If a site name is not found, one will be generated using the significant data from the site contact phone number. If this data is unavailable, the device will be mapped to an unknown site. Site Contact Phone • The country code (if present), area code, and local exchange portion of the phone number determine the positioning of the site on the Release 4.2 network map.
Performing Migration • In the Release 4.2 database, the first three digits of the 44232 combination are placed in the country code field, and the remainder are placed in the city code field. The country and city codes for Belfast would appear in the Release 4.2 site profiles as 442 and 32 rather than 44 and 232. However, this does not cause an error in site placement. Although these fields can be revised in the site profile after migration, there is no technical need to do so.
COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System 5. Insert a quarter-inch data cartridge into the tape drive, then TYPE: y PRESS: Enter to begin the copying process.

Execute the Display Facility Profile (dsfp) command to examine facility profiles associated with three devices. 6.
Performing Migration 3. Changes to site profiles are frequently needed because site data is extracted from device profiles fields which may be inaccurate or incomplete. The results may be the following: • Multiple site names (and profiles) for a single site. Corrective Action: use the Edit Device Profile (eddp) command to use a single site name for all devices at a given location.
COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System 7. Facility names are displayed on the Release 4.2 network map rather than circuit names, since facilities are physical entities whereas circuits are logical entities. (For multiplexer devices, circuit names, when available, are used for the facility name.) To make circuit information more visible, you may wish to edit the facility profiles using the Edit Facility Profile (edfp) command to incorporate the circuit name into the facility name.

Then, check to see that the driver is properly installed and the cabling is correct. 12.
Running Diagnostics IPC-1600 Diagnostic Program The IPC-1600 diagnostic consists of six tests which can be run on either the Altos 5000 or Altos 15000 systems. These tests can only be run under the MS-DOS operating system. Thus, for either system, you must boot the system with MS-DOS, create a bootable disk, copy the diagnostics onto the bootable disk, and reboot the system with the newly created diagnostic disk.
COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System 1. For the Altos 15000 system, insert the bootable disk containing MS-DOS and power on the system. To do this, power on the system using the power switch on the back of the unit. Proceed to Step 4. For the Altos 5000 system, power on the system using the power switch on the back of the unit. The System 5000 will run through its normal power-up sequence and display the following message: Press spacebar to interrupt autoboot 2.
Running Diagnostics 8. You now have to create a config.sys file to allow the IPC device drivers to be automatically loaded when the system is booted. To do this, at the A:> prompt, TYPE: copy con: config.sys The cursor will advance to the next line and await input. At this point, whatever you type on the keyboard will be put into a buffer and then written to a file named config.sys. Enter the following lines into the config.sys file TYPE: device=ipc16dos.
COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System 14. Power down the processor and remove the IPC-1600 card. Reset the memory address from A0000 to its original setting as shown in Figure 2-14 for an Altos 5000 or Table 2-6 for an Altos 15000. Replace the card and power-up the processor.

COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management Systems Always begin troubleshooting by checking the hardware connections. Make a visual inspection of the hardware connections to ensure that: • The host processor power supply is plugged in and the ac outlet is on. • The multiplexer power supply is plugged in and the ac outlet is on. • The multiplexer is connected to the appropriate port on the host processor.
Maintaining Multiplexers If the multiplexer control processor experiences faults, its LED display will indicate the nature of the fault (if possible). For example, if the LED reads 333, the control processor is performing diagnostics. To identify a fault, read the rightmost digit of the LED display for the control processor card or cards. The codes correspond to status conditions, and are described in Steps 4, 5, 6, and 7.

If the control processor’s LED display shows a 2, perform the following steps: NOTE If this is a dual- or redundant-control processor configuration, the impact of this failure is less damaging. Even so, perform the following steps to correct the fault as soon as possible. a. Check the control processor configuration using the Display Multiplexer Components Configuration (dsmcc) command.
Maintaining Multiplexers Event Port Failure Failures associated with the event port are usually caused by faulty connections or software configuration errors. Software configuration errors may also cause event log printer problems. Faulty Connections When there is a problem with the connection to the event port, the following alert is issued: evtpf: Multiplexer event port is down When this alert appears, perform the following steps: 1.
