The navigation tree on the left shows all the involved topology objects, such as NEs, subnets, and the hierarchical architecture between these objects. The topology view on the right shows all the topology objects in the current network and the location-related relationship between these objects.
The system synchronizes the navigation tree and the topology view automatically.
Examples
The displayed window after you log in the M2000 client is a topology view.
Physical NE Physical NEs are the communication devices that can be managed by the M2000. Virtual NE The third-party communication equipment in the entire communication network. The M2000 cannot manage the equipment. Virtual NEs help complete the structure of the communication network.
In the topology view, the physical NE and virtual NE are distinguished by different icon colors. For example, the physical NE HLR is displayed as the virtual NE HLR is displayed as . in the topology view, while
The equipment type corresponds to the NE type. The NE types are identified by different icons. You can view the icons by clicking the Legend tab in the left of the window.
Examples
Some examples of NEs are as follows:

Issue 02 (2006-10-31)
4 Topology Management
Huawei BTS3812A sets up a physical connection with the M2000; thus it is a physical NE. The third-party equipment MOTOROLA HLR is a virtual NE. The M2000 itself is a special NE. The M2000 is displayed as OMC in the topology view.
4.1.3 Subnets
Meaning
To manage NEs more efficiently, the huge M2000 network can be divided into several smaller networks based on certain principles, such as by region. These smaller networks are called subnets in the topology.
Examples
An example of subnets is as follows: If the M2000 can manage all the NEs in the provinces A, B and C, these NEs can be divided into three subnets by region (herein province). The three subnets can also be divided into smaller subnets by city or county. In other words, a subnet can be nested in another subnet.
Examples
Some examples of group NEs are as follows:
! !
An RNC is a group NE. It manages NodeB NEs. An MSC Server is a group NE. It manages MGW NEs.
4.1.5 Links
Meaning
The topology view uses links to identify the physical or logical connections between the communication equipment. There are two types of links, physical and virtual, as shown in Table 4-1.
Issue 02 (2006-10-31)

4 Topology Management
Table 4-1 Descriptions of two link types Link type Physical link Description It refers to the signaling connections between two physical NEs. M2000 supports six types of physical links: MTP3, MTP3B, DATALINK, M3UA, H248, and BICCSCTP. MTP3 MTP3B DATALINK M3UA H248 BICCSCTP Virtual link
! !
The NE at one side of the link must be a physical MGW. The NE at the other side of the link can be a physical MSC Server, or a virtual RNC or MSC Server.
DATALINK links can be created between a physical CG and a physical GGSN80 or SGSN. H248 and M3UA links can only be created between a physical MGW and MSC Server. BICCSCTP links can only be created between a physical MSC Server.
Virtual link refers to the logical communication connections between two NEs. Virtual links can only be created manually. You can modify or delete virtual links.
Examples
Some examples of the links are as follows:
! !
The links between physical MGW and virtual MSC Server are physical links created by the manually. The links between virtual MSC Server and virtual HLR are virtual links created manually.
Examples
Some examples of topology objects are as follows:
! ! !
Huawei communication equipment BTS3812 that communicates with the M2000 is a topological object. The manually created virtual link is a topological object. The manually created subnet C is a topological object.

By alarm content: event alarms and fault alarms By alarm handling and clearance: history fault alarms and shielded alarms
Fault alarms, such as a board fault alarm, are generated when faults occur to hardware devices or exceptions occur to key functions. Fault alarms are more severe than event alarms. Fault alarms can be cleared. Event alarms, such as a congestion alarm, are occasionally generated during the equipment operation. The event alarms indicate only the equipment status at a certain point of time. The system generates some event alarms periodically. Event alarms do not need manual handling. History fault alarms refer to the cleared and acknowledged fault alarms. Shielded alarms are generated during a short period of time. The alarms matching the correlation rules set on the M2000 client are shielded alarms, and they are stored in the M2000 shielding library. Shielded alarms can only be fault or event alarms.
! !
Critical alarms, such as the power circuit fault alarm or the output clock fault alarm, affect the whole system operation. Critical alarms require immediate handling. Major alarms, such as alarms about disconnected fibers or physical line faults, occur only to boards or lines. If not handled timely, these alarms may affect the services. Minor alarms, such as the alarm for bit errors in some physical lines, refer to common status alarms that indicate the working status of boards or lines. Warning alarms indicate status changes or events which do not affect the system performance or subscriber services, but may interest the operator. Some warning alarms prompt when the equipment returns to normality.
Power alarms: related to the power supply system Environment alarms: related to the equipment environment, such as the temperature, humidity, and connection control Signaling alarms: related to communication signaling Trunk alarms: related to trunk circuits Hardware alarms: related to boards such as the clock and CPU Software alarms: related to the software

Uncleared and unacknowledged Uncleared and acknowledged Cleared and unacknowledged Cleared and acknowledged
For an acknowledged and cleared alarm, the M2000 moves the alarm from the current fault alarm library to the history fault alarm library. Accordingly, the alarm changes to a history fault alarm. For an unacknowledged or uncleared alarm, the alarm remains in the current fault alarm library as a current fault alarm. Figure 5-1 shows how a current fault alarm changes to a history fault alarm.

After receiving alarms from an NE or the M2000 itself, the M2000 shields the alarms, redefines the alarm severity levels, or correlates the alarms before saving the alarms in the alarm library. You can query the alarm information and acknowledge the alarms on the M2000 client.

Step 3 The M2000 checks if the alarm matches the correlation rules set on the M2000. If the alarm matches the correlation rules, the M2000 drops it into the shielded alarm library or discard it. Step 4 The M2000 saves alarms other than shielded or discarded alarms to the fault or event alarm library based on the alarm content. ----End
Current fault alarms Event alarms History fault alarms Shielded alarms
When you manually acknowledge an alarm on the M2000 client interface. For details, see part 5.2.1 "Acknowledged Alarms." After the alarm is acknowledged, the status of the alarm changes to acknowledged. When you operate a faulty NE and clear the fault. In this case, the status of the alarm changes to cleared. The cleared status applies only to fault alarms.
The change of the NE status may lead to a change in the alarm category. For details, see part 5.2.3 "Relationship Between Alarm Categories and Alarm Statuses."

Default counters defined for an NE The NE periodically reports the measurement results of all default performance counters to the M2000. The default performance counters consist of common counters and extended counters.
Counters defined on the M2000 client, that is, user defined counters.
Common Counter
Common counters refer to key default counters defined for an NE. The NE periodically reports the measurement results of all these counters to the M2000, and the M2000 saves the results to the performance database for future queries. You cannot add, modify, or delete KPIs.
Extended Counter
Extended counters are also default counters defined for an NE. The NE reports results of all the extended counters to the M2000. The M2000 saves the results to the performance database based on the settings on the M2000 client. During the M2000 operation, you can select or clear extended counters.
! !
When you select an extended counter, the measurement results of the extended counter are saved to the M2000 performance database for future queries. When you clear an extended counter, the M2000 does not save the measurement results of the extended counter to the performance database.
User-Defined Counter
User defined counters refer to those defined on the M2000 client. The system defines the user defined counters by adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing the system default counters (both common counters and extended counters). You can add, modify, or delete the user-defined counter during the M2000 operation. The measurement results of the user-defined counters are not stored in the M2000 database. When you query these results, the M2000 calculates the results through the set formula and then displays the results through the client.

Level 1 is the function set. A function set consists of function subsets related to a certain system function. Function sets are also called measurement sets. Level 2 is the function subset. A function subset consists of measurement counters related to a certain system function. Function subsets are also called measurement units. Level 3 is the measurement counter.
Class 1 Object
Class 1 objects are not to be selected. Class 1 objects are not displayed in the Object Setting dialog box. NEs automatically report the measurement results of default counters of class 1 objects to the M2000.
Class 2 Object
You must select class 2 objects before you start a performance measurement. The M2000 delivers the selected objects to the NE, and the NE reports the results of measurement counters of these objects to the M2000. By default, no class 2 objects are selected, and no results are reported. You can select class 2 objects, such as a board in the SGSN system, in the Object Setting dialog box.
Class 3 Object
You must enter class 3 objects for performance measurement. The M2000 delivers the entered objects to the NE, and the NE reports the results of measurement counters of these objects to the M2000.

NE
When a measurement period ends, the counters of an NE, both common counters and specified extended counters, start to be measured. The NE collects the measurement results, that is, the performance data, and reports the results to the M2000. After the mediation layer in the M2000 server analyzes the received results, the performance server saves the results to the performance database. The M2000 controls the number of the received performance results. An alarm is generated when the M2000 detects that more than the specified number of results are received.
File interface The NE saves the measurement results of all the KPIs and extended counters into a file. When a measurement period ends, the NE uploads the file generated for this period to the M2000. The M2000 mediation layer analyzes the file and collects the results for each

!
Task interface The M2000 delivers to the NE the information required for performance measurement, for example, the information regarding objects, counters, and measurement periods. Based on the received information, the NE creates performance measurement tasks and measures each counter. When the measurement period ends, the NE reports the collected results to the M2000. The M2000 analyzes the results and saves them to the performance database.
Operations involved in the performance management are the same for these two different interfaces.
For the class 1 objects, the performance results are displayed immediately after your query. For the class 2 or class 3 objects, you must select or enter the measurement objects. The performance results are displayed after the set measurement period ends.

10 Troubleshooting
Handling Suggestions
Handle the fault in either of the following ways:
! ! !
Avoid starting several M2000 clients on the same terminal. Quit other programs irrelevant to the M2000 client on the terminal. Uninstall the existing M2000 client, and install a new one.
Possible Causes
The configuration file is incorrect.
Handling Suggestions
Uninstall the existing M2000 client, and install a new one.
Possible Causes
The M2000 uses the event mechanism of CORBA to check whether the communication between the M2000 client and the M2000 server is functioning well. A CORBA event is called in a different way from a common CORBA request. For a common request, the client initiates a connection and sends the request to the server. The server responds to the client using the same connection; however, for a CORBA event, when the client initiates a subscription request, the server sets up a new connection with the client and sends the event to the client using this new connection. Therefore, such a fault results from the failure in setting up a connection from the server to the client. The possible causes are as follows:
Issue 02 (2006-10-31)

10 Troubleshooting
!
You are using dual IP addresses of the client. The client monitors either of the IP addresses. Therefore, sometimes the client connects to the server normally, sometimes does not.
Handling Suggestions
!
If you set dual client IP addresses, change the settings on the client as follows.
Change the value of listenAddress to a client IP address that you can ping successfully from the server. In addition, you can use this IP address to connect to the port 53100 by Telnet.
!
If you use a firewall, change the settings as follows. On the firewall, open port 53100 from the server to the client IP address. The IP address and the port must be consistent with those set in the configuration file on the client.
Possible Causes
Multiple IP addresses are configured for the PC serving as the client.
Handling Suggestions
In this case, specify the IP address for communications before logging in to the M2000 server. For details, see the M2000 Installation Manual or M2000 HA System Installation Manual.

Issue 02 (2006-10-31)
10-9
10 Troubleshooting
Handling Suggestions
This is normal. No operation is necessary.
Possible Causes
The phone number is incorrect. The phone number must begin with the country code, for example, 861361234***1, where 86 is the country code of the Peoples Republic of China (PRC). In some countries or districts, however, the phone number must not begin with the country code, for example, the Unite Arab Emirates (UAE).
Handling Suggestions
Enter the correct phone number in Remote notify detail settings.
Possible Causes
It takes about six seconds for an SMS to reach the receiver. Therefore, the M2000 can send a maximum of 10 SMSs in one minute. The delay occurs when too many alarms are generated.
Handling Suggestions
In the Remote Notify tab of Fault Service Settings, select fewer types of alarms to send by SMS. Ensure that only alarms with the highest priority are sent to the mobile phone through the SMS.
Possible Causes
The NE reporting the alarm has been deleted from the M2000.
