1.3 Typical Application Schemes The supports two application schemes: �
Application Scheme Without Protection In the application scheme without protection, one server is configured. If the server is faulty, the network may fail to be managed. This scheme features low cost but it is less reliable. In actual networking, the application scheme without protection provides two configuration modes. �
Integrated configuration On one server, both the server and client are configured.
�
Separated configuration The server is configured on one server, and the client is configured on another computer. The client is connected to the server through the network protocol.

�
Dual-Server Configuration for Hot Backup In the dual-server configuration scheme, two servers providing the same services are used. One acts as the primary server, and the other acts as the standby one. The primary server, also called active server, provides application services when the system runs properly. The standby server monitors the working status of the primary one. At the same time, the primary server checks whether the standby server is working properly. If the primary server fails to provide the applications, the standby server takes over the primary one to provide key application services and ensure the continuous running of the system. Dual-sever hot backup can be classified into local dual-sever hot backup and remote dual-sever hot backup. �
�
In local dual-server hot backup, the primary server and the standby server share the same disk array, and the data is stored in an independent disk array. If the primary server fails, the standby server takes over the primary server and accesses the data in the disk array. In remote dual-server hot backup, a server is installed on the primary server and the standby server respectively, and the data on both servers is automatically synchronized. If the primary server fails, the server is switched to the standby server, which takes over the job of the primary server.
For the local dual-sever hot backup, see Figure 2. FIGURE 2 LOCAL DUAL-SERVER CONFIGURATION HOT BACKUP
For the remote dual-sever hot backup, see Figure 3.

1.4 System Features Standard Compliance
The follows the TMN and eTom models, and complies with TMN, 3GPP, SNMP, NGOSS and NGMN standards.
Modularized Design
The system can easily meet the requirements for managing new devices and services due to its modularized architecture. The system software consists of several modules, which can be distributed on different computers. The distributed deployment of software modules provides the processing capability of the system.
System Openness
The system adopts the following technologies to support its openness.
Operation Security
�
The use of CORBA, SNMP and XML interfaces enables the system to share both data and services with other service systems.
�
The system is implemented by JAVA, which enables the system to run on the Windows, UNIX or Linux operating system, so as to meet the users’ demands for managing networks of different scales.
�
The system provides various external interfaces.
The system uses the access right control and log records to ensure the security of operations on it. �
Access Right Control You can constrain the operation right of a user based on the view of a controlled network, that is, the operations performed

NetNumen U31 Introduction Training Manual
by the user are limited to certain network elements with a certain granularity. �
Complete Log Records By observing the log records, you can find unauthorized operations in time to ensure the security of the system and the managed network.
Ease of Use
By using the topology navigation function on the system, you can perform network management operations easily in an intuitive way, for example, monitor the running status of the managed network on the topological graph of the network. The topological graph has different levels, for example, global topology and local topology. The alarm information in the whole network can be displayed on the topological graph or rack map in real time. The system provides different audible and visual alarm indications according to the severity of alarms. In addition, the system supports the centralized management of performance data in the whole network for convenient query, statistics, and report.
Data Security
The system adopts database backup and disk mirroring to ensure the security of data in the system. �
Database Backup The system provides diversified backup modes by supporting the storage of data on another peripheral memory, such as disk, tape, compact disk, or database. You can restore the data backup on the peripheral memory to the system when necessary.
�
Disk Mirroring When data mirroring is used, all data on the active disk is replicated to the standby disk in real time for backup.

3.1 Topology Management The system is required to support the centralized management and group management of all the managed devices due to the large quantity and diversity of managed devices. The topology management module of the system provides various topology management functions to display the distribution and organization of devices on topology views. A topology view is divided into two parts: the navigation pane on the left part, and the topology map on the right part. The navigation pane provides a network element tree that lists all the managed network elements (NEs) in the system. The topology map shows the managed NEs on a map according to their locations and relations in the network. In addition, some alarm and configuration information of NEs is also available on the topology view. The following lists the topology management functions that you can use in the system. �
Navigation The NEs added in the system are listed on an NE tree in the navigation pane, corresponding to the NE icons displayed on the topology map. When you add or delete an NE through shortcut menu on the NE tree, corresponding NE icon appears or disappears on the topology map at the same time. You can locate corresponding NE icon on the topology map by clicking the NE on the NE tree. Besides some topology management functions, the NE tree also provides the access to some other management functions through shortcut menu, including configuration management, fault management, and performance management functions.

22
Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION
Chapter 3 Product Functions
�
Alarm Data Collection and Storage The system collects alarm information sent by the managed NEs in real time, converts the format of the alarm information as required, and then stores all the alarm information in the database. In addition, the fault management module can automatically save the alarm information into files according to preset parameters.
�
Graphic Display and Localization of Alarms The system monitors the managed NEs in real time and displays the received alarm information on the client screen. On the topology map, you can open the board management view of a faulty NE to locate the board where an alarm is generated.
�
Alarm Acknowledging and Unacknowledging When an alarm is reported and displayed on the client screen, you can acknowledge the alarm. The system saves the record of your acknowledging operation. You can also cancel the acknowledgement of an alarm, that is, unacknowledging the alarm. All acknowledging and unacknowledging operations are recorded, including the information of the users performing the operations as well as the operation time. By observing the acknowledgement status of alarms, you can know the running status of the network, find the latest alarm information quickly, and process the alarms respectively according to their acknowledgement status.
�
Real-Time Alarm Monitoring The system shows real-time alarms in the form of list on the client screen. In the alarm list, you can filter alarms by occurrence time or severity level. When the system receives new alarms from managed NEs, it refreshes the alarm list automatically.
�
Alarm Clearing The system automatically clears an alarm from the active alarm list after the fault causing this alarm is removed.
�
Alarm Synchronization Alarm synchronization includes the synchronization of alarm information between the server and the managed NEs (that is, the alarm sources), and the synchronization of alarm information between the client and the server. supports two alarm synchronization modes: manual synchronization and automatic synchronization. �
�
In the manual synchronization mode, the alarm synchronization is initiated by a user. In the automatic synchronization mode, the alarm synchronization is initiated by the system.
The system initiates an alarm synchronization process in the following situations: �
�
The broken connection between the client and the server recovers. The broken connection between the server and a managed NE in the network recovers.

Output of Alarm Data All alarm information can be output to *.txt, *.xls, *.pdf, *.html, or *.csv files.
�
Alarm Rule Management The system supports the customization of various alarm rules for managing and processing received alarms, such as alarm storage, alarm filtering, alarm reclassification, and alarm correlation. For example, by creating an alarm filtering rule, you can filter less important alarms and reduce the count of alarms displayed on the client screen. In this way, you can easily find critical alarms and handle them first. A fault in an NE may cause several correlated alarms. By setting a correlation rule, you can collapse a series of correlated alarms caused by the same fault and reduce the count of alarms displayed on the client screen.
�
Modification of Alarm Settings This function allows you to define the alarm management mode, reset the indication colors of alarms, and set the thresholds of environment parameters, for example, temperature, humidity, and smog existence.
�
Alarm Query and Statistic The alarm query and statistic function enables you to query alarms stored in the database and get a statistic report of these alarms. By analyzing the alarm report, you can find problems in the network and improve the network performance by removing those problems. For example, you can query history alarms, active alarms and notifications. In addition, the system can count alarms according to their types and severity levels, and indicate the distribution of different alarms by displaying the statistic information in various chart forms.
3.3 Performance Management The purpose of performance management is to improve the network performance and efficiency and provide a basis as well as suggestions for proper planning of network resources. The performance management module of the system can collect the performance data of network elements in the network. By observing and analyzing the collected performance data, you can know the running status of equipment in the network, evaluate the efficiency of equipment and the network, and monitor the quality of service in the network. The following lists the performance management functions that you can use in the system. �
24

Data Synchronization The system can automatically synchronize performance data from the managed NEs to the server, and synchronize performance data from the server to the client. You can also initiate the synchronization of performance data through a client.
�
Data Report The system can generate a performance data statistic report to show current KPIs, which can also be output as *.xls, *.pdf, *.html, and *.txt files. A predefined template or user-defined template can be used to generate the report you want. In addition, you can create a report task by specifying the report type, template, object, time, and file name. When the preset is up, the system generates the customized report according to the task. The customized task is stored in the database, which can be queried, modified and deleted. After the report is generated by the system, you can view the report and save it as an *.xls file. The system can send the periodically-generated report to a user in the specified format through E-mail as required.
3.4 Security Management The security management module of the system provides security management functions to ensure that only authorized users can access and manage network resources. For better understanding of security management, the following explains some basic concepts related to security management, including role, role set, department, and user. �
Role A role specifies the management permission for a user group, including the operation permission and manageable resources. �
�
�
The operation permission allows the user group to use specific functional modules of the network management system. For example, if a role has the operation permission of the log management module, the users acting as the role can perform log management operations, such as querying logs and maintaining logs. The manageable resources refer to subnetworks and/or network elements that can be managed by the role.
Role Set A role set is a set of roles. The management permission of a role set involves the management permissions of all roles in the role set.
�
Department
Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION
25
NetNumen U31 Introduction Training Manual
Departments are specified in the network management system to simulate the actual administrative departments. In this way, the system administrator can conveniently organize and manage users in the system. A newly-created user must belong to a department. �
User A user is an operator who is authorized to log in to the system and perform operations in the system. While creating a user, the system administrator assigns the management permission to the user by specifying a role or role set and allocates the user to a department according to the actual situation.
For the model of relations among user, role, role set, department, operation permission, and manageable resources involved in the security management, see Figure 4. FIGURE 4 RELATION MODEL
OF
SECURITY MANAGEMENT
The following explains the relation model of security management.
26
�
A user is administered by a department.
�
The management permission of a user depends on the role set assigned to the user.
�
A role set includes one role or a set of roles. Correspondingly, the management permission of a role set is the collection of management permissions of all roles in the role set.

Chapter 4 Product Architecture After you have completed this chapter, you will know: >> Hardware Architecture >> Software Architecture
4.1 Hardware Architecture The system adopts a client/server architecture. The client in the system communicates with the server through TCP/IP. The hardware configuration of the system depends on the scale of the network to be managed and the system load. Generally, a high configuration Unix/Windows series workstation is used as the server because the server runs all core functional modules of the system, stores and maintains massive network management data. The configuration of the client is relatively lower because the task of the client is connecting the server and displaying the operation results. A personal computer (PC) can be used as the client of the system. In terms of logical structure, two types of devices are deployed at the server: host and storage device. �
The host is the physical foundation of the system. It processes data in the system. The system performance greatly depends on the processor speed of the host.
�
Storage devices are used to save the data in the system. For storing large amounts of important data in the system, external data storage devices with high capacity and reliability are required besides the built-in disks in the host.
In terms of function, a server cluster, including application server and database server, can be deployed at the server. These servers can be configured together on the same host, or independently on different hosts. To ensure high availability and security, dual servers can be used in the system, see Figure 5.

NetNumen U31 Introduction Training Manual
FIGURE 5 DUAL-SERVER SYSTEM
As shown in Figure 5, the dual-server system adopts the Veritas Cluster solution to monitor the active and standby servers and implement the switching between them. The disk array keeps the consistency of the data between two servers through two routes. When the active server fails, the Veritas Cluster System, which monitors the heartbeat between dual servers, detects the failure. Then the Veritas Cluster System switches the system to the standby server for providing continuous network management services.
4.2 Software Architecture Object-oriented technologies are adopted to design the software based on JAVA 2 platform Enterprise Edition (J2EE). The software modules can be deployed in an integrated or distribute way to manage bearer network elements (NEs). In addition, the software provides CORBA, SNMP, DB and File interfaces for connecting the system to a upper integrated NMS or Operation Support System (OSS). By using the software, you can configure and maintain individual bearer network elements, and implement the integrated monitoring and maintenance of all network elements from the network management point of view. The system provides two software: server software and client software. �

6.2 Non-Cascade Networking Modes The system generally adopts a non-cascade networking mode, in which a single server is used to manage the whole network. The management capability of the system is measured based on this networking mode. The following three non-cascade networking modes are available: �
Non-Cascade Local Networking
�
Non-Cascade Remote Networking
�
Non-Cascade Integrated Networking
6.2.1 Non-Cascade Local Networking Non-cascade local networking is the most common networking mode used by centralized network management systems. It is a simple networking mode, in which the server, clients and NEs are
Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION

all located in the same Local Area Network (LAN) and connected with each other through Ethernet. In this networking mode, the server connects to the managed NEs through LAN. The following describes the topology of this networking mode and the required devices for the local networking. �
Topology For the topology of the non-cascade local networking of , see Figure 6. FIGURE 6 NON-CASCADE LOCAL NETWORKING
6.2.2 Non-Cascade Remote Networking The system supports various non-cascade remote networking modes, in which the clients are located remotely from the server. Different remote networking modes have the same network topology and follow the same networking principle. Specific transmission equipment is used to connect the system to a Wide Area Network (WAN). The server and the client are located in different LANs with corresponding routers and hubs. The non-cascade remote networking supports the transmission over leased line of Digital Data Network (DDN), E1 line, or Highdata-rate Digital Subscriber Line (HDSL). The following introduces the remote networking based on DDN leased line transmission mode and E1 transmission mode, which are commonly used in the actual telecommunication networks due to their quality and cost advantages. �

Remote Networking Based on DDN Leased Line

Chapter 6 Networking Modes
The stable and reliable DDN provides a high transmission rate from 64kbps to 2Mbps. In this remote networking mode, routers and baseband MODEMs are used. At the server, a hub is connected to a router and the router is connected to the leased line of the DDN through a baseband MODEM. The remote client is connected to the leased line in the same way through its Ethernet interface. For the remote networking of the system based on DDN leased line, see Figure 7. FIGURE 7 NON-CASCADE REMOTE NETWORKING

DDN
Remote Networking Based on E1 Transmission In the non–cascade remote networking over E1 transmission, E1 (2Mbit/s) lines are used to transmit IP packets. At both ends of an E1 line, timeslot extractors are needed. The maximum transmission rate of each timeslot is 64kbps. By the channelization technology, N timeslots can be used together to get a rate of N×64kbps, which meets the requirements for different transmission rates. A router and a channelized E1 module can be used together as a stable and reliable timeslot extractor. For the remote networking of the system based on E1 transmission, see Figure 8.

6.3 Cascade Networking Modes Multiple servers can be cascaded to manage a large-scale network. The lower-level servers manage part of the network, responding to the requests and processing the data coming from this part. The upper-lever server connects to multiple lower-level servers, processing the information from the lower-level servers and responding to the requests from the upper-level clients. It manages the whole network through lower-level servers. The cascade networking can be classified into local cascade networking and remote cascade networking according to the physical relations between the upper-level server and lower-level servers.
6.3.1 Local Cascade Networking When the scale of a network is so large that a single system cannot manage the whole network, the cascade networking mode can be used to increase the management capacity. In this networking mode, the lower-level servers manage the devices in corresponding areas. They are integrated and connected to the upper-level
Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION
43
NetNumen U31 Introduction Training Manual
server through LAN. Therefore, the upper-level server can implement the centralized management of the whole network. In the local cascade networking mode, the upper-level server and lower-level servers are located in the same LAN. Any of the noncascade networking modes described earlier can be used for each server and the clients corresponding to it. For example, the following illustrates the networking of a system, where the local cascade networking mode is used for the upper-level server and two lower-level servers, and the non-cascade local networking mode is used for each server and corresponding clients, see Figure 10. FIGURE 10 LOCAL CASCADE NETWORKING
The upper-level server and the lower-level servers are integrated in the same LAN, and each server has corresponding clients, see Figure 10.
Note: For the logical model of upper-level client and lower-level clients, see Figure 10. Physically, the management processes of the lowerlevel clients can be deployed on the upper-level client.
6.3.2 Remote Cascade Networking In the remote cascade networking mode, the upper-level server and the lower-level servers are connected through DDN or E1 transmission network. All non-cascade networking modes described earlier can be used for each server and corresponding client. For the topology of a remote cascade networking mode, see Figure 11.

The upper-level server and lower-level servers are integrated through E1 transmission network instead of a LAN, see Figure 11.
6.4 Distributed System The commercial application capability meeting the requirement of high capacity and load is a key point for a centralized network management system, which has a bottleneck of load processing due to huge amount of performance and alarm data. The distributed deployment of the centralized network management system can improve the overall processing capability of the system, eliminating the bottleneck of load processing. The system supports the flexible deployment of its functional modules on different servers in a distributed way. The distributed deployment not only improves the system stability, but also provides convenience for troubleshooting and module upgrade. The distributed system is designed on the application layer, which follows the same basic principle as other application systems. There is no uniform requirement for the topology of the distributed system. For a typical topology of a distributed network management system, in which the database server, application

server and access server are deployed in a distributed way, see Figure 12. FIGURE 12 TYPICAL DISTRIBUTED DEPLOYMENT
OF THE
SYSTEM
The following distributed deployment modes are available for a centralized network management system: �
Distributed Deployment of Database In this mode, the database is independently deployed on a server.
�
Distributed Deployment of Access Servers Distributed deployment of access servers supports access of multiple subsystems to the centralized network management system for the purpose of centralized management. For example, three access servers can be arranged to access nine radio network subsystems to the centralized network management system. Each server supports the access of three radio network subsystems. The functions of an access server include transferring information between upper-level and lower-level interfaces, collecting the data and storing the data in the database.
�
Distributed Deployment of Application Servers In this mode, fault management server, performance management server and other management servers are deployed independently according to the actual needs.
