About This Document
This document is for use in the installation and management of Promina
800 Series nodes. It provides information about standard equipment
modules and how to install standard equipment cards in the configuration
database.
Before using this document the reader should have a working knowledge
of data communications, and basic trunking and transmission concepts.
The user also needs to be aware of the hazards associated with electronic

Over vi ew
A Promina system is a Multiservice Access Platform, the engine of a
multiservice backbone network. On a single platform, a Promina system
fully integrates the functions of a voice and data networking multiplexer,
an Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) switch, a frame-relay
switch, a multiprotocol router, and a network management system. The
operating system software features a high degree of networking
intelligence which is distributed among all Promina nodes. In addition to
providing all these functions, Promina systems offer the flexibility of
using all existing customer Integrated Digital Network Exchange (IDNX)
feature cards.

The Promina Network
Promina nodes are high performance systems that support internodal
trunks operating over subrated and nonsubrated T1, T3, E1, E3 and OC-3
transmission facilities. A Promina node provides the power and features
required for low speed (16 kbps) to high speed (T3/E3/OC-3) networking
over transmission facilities that range in speeds up to 155 Mbps. The
Promina node supports these feature modules:
trunk
voice, including voice compression server modules
circuit-, frame-, and packet-based exchange
data
For details on the Promina feature modules, refer to the specific module
manual; for example, Trunk Modules, Voice Modules, and Data Modules.
Also refer to the Packet Module Manual (for FRX, LWX or
PrimeSwitch).

Promina
Controller
Modules Overview
The Promina node processor modules (PPM) and Promina node storage
module (PSM) control the internal logic and communication for the node
and provide the central processing and memory storage for the node. The
controller modules also provide the connections for access to the operator
interface.
The PPMs are high-performance controller cards using the Motorola
68LC060. The PLMs are multifunction controller cards using the
Motorola 68LC040.
The PSM has a 68LC040 microprocessor; it incorporates a hard disk
drive for storage of system code, configuration database, event logs, and
feature module code for Frame Relay Exchange (FRX), LAN-WAN
Exchange (LWX), and ISDN Exchange (ISDNX, also known as
PrimeSwitch Module). The combination of these high-speed
microprocessors and the onboard memory design on the Promina
controller cards enables fast system boot up and a high level of call
performance.
The Promina controller cards use a real time operating system. The
Promina operating system also includes these advanced features:
DOS-compatible filing system for easy access to files
Internet Protocol (IP) routing system for accessing files over Promina
and IDNX networks
Local and remote Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
agent for network management systems
Internet applications:
Network File System (NFS) client and server system
File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
Remote login (RLogin)
PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) access to nodes via modem
For more information on each of the Promina controller modules refer to
Chapter 3, Card Descriptions. You can find the procedures for standard
equipment module installation in Appendix A, Card Installation.

Promina 800 Standard Equipment Configuration
A Promina 800 node must have one high-speed shelf (HSS) and one
standard shelf (STS) or expansion shelf (EXS) with any combination of
additional STS or EXS shelves, up to a maximum of seven shelves. For
more information on these shelves, refer to the Promina System
Components on page 7-1. Also see Appendix A, Card Installation.
A Promina 800 node may consist of either a nonredundant or redundant
configuration of PPM, PSM, SX-2, and BX cards and power supplies.
Refer to Promina 800 Node Standard Equipment Redundancy on page
2-7 for further detail.
A Promina 800 node with three EXS shelves and with redundant PPMs,
SX-2, and BX cards is illustrated in Figure 2-1.

Standard and Expansion Shelves
The Bus Extender (BX) cards and PSM modules must be installed in an
STS or an EXS. The BX card must reside in the leftmost slots in an STS
(for example, slots 16 and 17) or the rightmost slot in an EXS (for
example, slots 30 and 31).
The PSM can be installed in any slot in an STS or EXS except slots
reserved for BX cards.
High-Speed Shelf (HSS)
The PPM module and Switched Exchange (SX-2) cards must be installed
in an HSS-2 (shelf 0). These cards cannot function in any other type of
shelf.
The SX-2 cards must be installed in the leftmost slots (slots 0 and 1) and
the redundant SX-2 cards must be installed in the rightmost slots (slots 14
and 15). PPM cards can be installed in any HSS slot not reserved for
SX-2 cards.
SX-2 Port-to-Shelf Configuration
Each SX-2 card has four spigots numbered 0 to 3 starting with the bottom
connector. Each spigot provides 16 logical slots: 32 Mbps of bandwidth
per spigot for a total of 128 Mbps per SX-2 card, and a maximum of 256
Mbps with two SX-2 cards.
The SX-2 connects to each shelf through the BX cards (referred to as
BXA and BXB on redundant systems).
The STS shelf contains 12 slots. To maintain module 16 consistency,
STS slots are numbered as if there are 16 on each shelf (the four missing
slot numbers are discarded and appear as empty when the database is
queried). For example, if shelf 1 slots are numbered 16 to 27, shelf 2 slot
numbers start at 32.
Note: It is important to connect the SX-2 spigots so that the slot numbers are
consecutive; that is, so there are no gaps. For example, in a three-shelf
configuration, shelf 0 connects to spigot 0, shelf 1 to spigot 1, shelf 2 to spigot 2,
etc. The T3 modules can connect to spigots 6 and 7 regardless of gaps because
of clock reference considerations on spigots 0 through 3.

Promina Standard Equipment Connectivity
The Promina node processor modules provide connectivity between the
node processors (by way of internal Ethernet), to NMS or LAN systems
(by way of external Ethernet), to terminal/workstations, and to a remote
access modem. Figure 2-2 illustrates conceptually the standard
equipment connectivity in a Promina 800 with redundant PPMs and a
nonredundant PSM.
Note: PPMs and PSMs in a Promina 800 must be connected by the internal
Ethernet cable even in a nonredundant configuration. The Ethernet connection
enables code loading from the PSM to the PPM. Each end of the Ethernet
connection (including on any T-connector) must have a terminator installed.

Promina 800 Node Standard Equipment Redundancy
A Promina 800 node may have redundant PPM and PSM modules.
Redundant PPMs are configured in a multiprocessing system with one
master PPM and the others serving as coprocessors. PSM modules
provide 1:1 redundancy.
A redundant Promina 800 may have two or four SX-2 cards (two
redundant pairs) to support up to eight system components consisting of
shelves or modules that support direct SX-2 connections such as the T3
module.
Note: Each T3/E3 card takes up one SX-2 spigot. Each CX card optionally
takes up one spigot. Each SCLX card takes from 1-2 spigots.
The redundant SX-2 and BX cards provide 1:1 redundancy.
Domain and
System
Redundancy
Promina 800 nodes with redundant standard equipment can be configured
to provide system redundancy through two domains. The required
equipment for each domain in a Promina 800 node is shown in Table 2-2.
Note: HSS-2 and PPMs are standard to both domains and are domain
independent. There can be up to four PPMs per node for load-sharing and not
necessarily for redundancy.
All the shelves (EXS/STS), T3/E3 trunk modules, and CX modules (with
T3/E3 interface cards) are connected to both Domain A and Domain B
through spigots on SX-2 cards. The SX-2 spigot on the HSS-2 shelf,
which is shelf 0 (zero), is connected to Shelf Bus Interface (SBI) ports A
Table 2-2 Domain Equipment in Promina 800
Number Equipment per Domain

and B, respectively; thus the node system has redundant standard
equipment via domains, and with one online and the other offline.
If the system is currently on domain A and a failure is detected on a
standard equipment card (for example, an SX-2, BX, T3, or SCLX, if
cabled and configured redundantly) the system will switch to Domain B.
The node has the highest priority, followed by the shelf, followed by the
trunk module. For example, if a Promina 800 is currently using domain A
and a failure occurs on a Domain A BX module, the Promina will switch
to Domain B, even though the redundant T3 card on Domain B is down.
This causes the T3 span to go down but enables the shelf that had the
failed BX to be restored. In this example, the system will still be
nonredundant.
The operator switches the domain online by entering the Switch Domain
command in the OI.
Nonredundant
Configurations
A Promina 800 node may also be configured as a nonredundant system. A
nonredundant configuration of the Promina 800 node consists of the
following:
One rack
One HSS-2
One to 3 EXS
One power supply per shelf
One PSM
One PPM
One SX-2
One T3, E3, or CX (with T3/E3 interface) (optional)
A second PPM is used in a nonredundant Promina 800 node, if needed, to
accommodate the number of load units in the node configuration. In this
situation, the second PPM does not provide redundancy.
A second SX-2 may be needed in a nonredundant Promina 800 node
depending on the number of shelves and whether the node has a
high-bandwidth trunk such as a T3, E3, or CX with T3/E3 interface.
Nonredundant Promina 800 configurations also have some restrictions in
supported components and system capabilities.
Only EXS shelves (to a maximum of three EXS shelves) are
supported.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Only one high-bandwidth trunk card such as a T3, E3, or CX (with
T3/E3 interface) is supported.
A nonredundant configuration cannot support domain redundancy;
the B domain must be disabled in the configuration database to
suppress nonredundant events and alarms.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Timing Sources
A single, central clocking source is vital to the operation of all digital
networks because it synchronizes transmission between communicating
devices. If the clocking of each element in the network is not
synchronized to a standard source, bit errors and frame slips can occur.
Internal clocking is provided as follows:
The SX-2 module can provide internal timing by way of the timing
signals generated by the onboard crystal oscillator. These cards can also
provide external timing by phase-locking onto external clock sources (for
example, digital transmission facilities, channel banks, or station clocks).
External clocking from customer equipment can also be provided to the
node through various modules including:
Trunk cards
Primary Rate Card (PRC) and Two Megabyte Channelized Port
(TMCP) voice cards
Universal Synchronous Data (USD) data cards
Note: USD data cards are not supported by the Promina 100.
For more information on setting up clocking, refer to the Node
Management manual.

Promina 800 standard Equipment Modules
This section describes the following standard equipment modules:
Promina Processor Module (PPM)
Promina Server Module (PSM)
Switching Exchange Module (SX-2)
Bus Extender (BX)
This section also describes the bus terminator interface card and the Shelf
Bus Interface (SBI-2).
PPM Module The Promina Processor Module (PPM) consists of a PPM front card and
an interface card (PPMI). The PPM module has the following hardware
and software features:
A Motorola 68LC060 microprocessor operating at 50 MHz
16 MB of DRAM, expandable to 32 MB
4 MB flash, expandable to 16 MB
Boot code residing in flash memory to provide enough memory
space for two complete copies of the Promina software to be
stored
Support for downloadable field upgrades of boot code
A console port providing an RS-232 compliant (RJ-45) DTE serial
connection for an OI terminal; this port can be configured for
standard baud rates up to 38.4 kbps or autobaud sensing
An internal Ethernet port providing for intranodal communication
with other PPMs and PSMs
Load sharing multiprocessing
The PPM module contains sufficient flash and DRAM memory to load all
system software, including the configuration database. Upon power-up,
the system software is uploaded from the PSM to the PPM. The
configuration database is stored in DRAM. The backup boot storage
allows for processor recovery following a failed boot download or power
failure.
Note: If the PPM modules are configured with 32MB DRAM, consider raising
the low-ram threshold. You can modify this value with the modify node
command described in the Modifying Node Parameters on page 8-2 of the Node
Management manual. The command parameter description can be found in [16]
Low RAM Event Threshold on page 15-93 of that manual.

Master and Coprocessor Functions
All Promina nodes have an SNMP agent and the Operator Interface (OI)
to enable node management. PPMs have the infrastructure to support
internodal network management services (NMS) communication
requirements, which allows the entire network to be managed from a
single NMS connection.
The PPM can be installed in any slot on the HSS-2 not reserved for an
SX-2 card. One to four PPMs can be installed in a Promina 800 node. One
PPM functions as the master when the system is powered up. If the
master PPM fails or if the operator assigns another PPM to be the master
while online, another PPM then becomes the master.
The distributed nature of the Promina software allows tasks to run on any
of up to four PPMs. Tasks can communicate with each other regardless of
their location. Two classes of PPMs exist: one is designated the master;
the others are coprocessors. When a master PPM restarts, the entire node
restarts. When a coprocessor PPM restarts, only the tasks on that
particular PPM restart.
Certain tasks, such as the TBus Manager and the Call Controller, run only
on the master PPM. The master PPM communicates with other node
slaves via the PBus/CBus system and with other nodes via the TBus.
SCLP (Signal Channel Link Protocol) and SSC (Secondary Signaling
Channel) are the mode of communication used to provide the
communication system with other nodes in the network. Refer to Chapter
5, SSC, HTC, and SCLP Ports, for more information on SCLP and SSC
usage.

PPMI Card The PPM Interface (PPMI) is an interface card that attaches to the PPM
front card and resides on the Promina 800s HSS-2. The PPMI includes
the pulse transformers, voltage converter, transceiver, and associated
components to support the media interface for 10Base2 Ethernet.
The PPMI is made up of three primary connectors (see Figure 3-2):
Thin coax (10Base2) Ethernet BNC connector for intranodal
communications with other PPM and PSM modules (commonly
referred to as Internal Ethernet interface)

SX-2 Module The SX-2 provides the clocking and switching functions for the HSS-2,
EXS and STS in a Promina 800. It also provides additional bandwidth to
the T3/E3 trunk card to supplement TBus bandwidth limitations.
Each SX-2 card provides up to 128 Mbps of switching bandwidth (256
Mbps for two SX-2s). Four shelves provide 128 Mbps, and eight shelves
provide 256 Mbps capacity. Both TBus and PBus information pass
through the SX-2.
In addition, the SX-2 module can provide the internal timing source to a
network via timing signals generated by its onboard oscillator, or it
phase-locks onto the incoming signal of an external clock source and
distributes it to the other nodes in the network. The SX-2 module can
accept up to eight clock references. The LEDs REF0 through REF7 (as
shown on the SX-2 card front panel) indicate when a clock reference is
present.
The Promina 800 contains two pairs of SX-2s per node for redundancy.
These cards can support additional shelves and T3/E3 trunk cards. If the
primary SX-2 set fails, the node switches domains and the backup SX-2
set automatically provides clocking and switching.

SXI-2 Card The SXI-2 interface card provides four spigots (15-pin D-subconnectors)
used to connect to the SBI-2 (shelf bus interface) on the high-speed shelf,
the BXI card on the standard and expansion shelves, and the T3I/E3I
cards on the high-speed shelf.
SX-2 cards must use SXI-2 interface cards. (The SXI and SXI-2 are not
interchangeable. SX-2 and SXI-2 cards are required for Promina 800
nodes.)
The spigots are labeled 0, 1, 2, and 3 starting from the bottom. The spigot
number of the SXI-2 connected to the shelf determines the shelf number.
For example:
Spigot 0 connects to high-speed shelf 0
Spigot 1 connects to shelf 1
To support more than four shelves, a second SX-2 is required. In this
case, spigot 0 (on the second card) connects to shelf 4, spigot 1 connects
to shelf 5, and so on.
The backplane jumper on the EXS and STS must also be set.
SXI-2 Connectors

Promina Server
Module
The Promina Server Module (PSM) is an intelligent network file server
that is installed in a Promina 800 STS or EXS and is optional in the
Promina 400. It consists of a front card and a rear Promina Server Module
Interface (PSMI) card. The PSM does the following:
Acts as the central point for data storage
Interfaces with the hard drive, modem, internal Ethernet connection
to the PPM and PLM cards, and provides the external Ethernet
connection to an NMS workstation
Uses a DOS-compatible file system for storage of system code,
configuration database, event logs, and network management data
Supports two serial ports (DTE) for modem and terminal connectivity
with standard, programmable baud rates up to 38.4 kbps
Provides the physical connections and path for processor and server
module software upgrades
The PSM offers the following features:
A low-profile ATA hard drive mounted directly on the PSM card
4 MB of flash memory, expandable to 16 MB, that holds two copies
of the boot code
4 MB of DRAM, expandable to 64 MB
Real time clock/calendar for time-stamping disk files
The PSMs nodal file system provides mass storage for a nodal database,
several versions of Promina application code, and expanded event logs.
The runtime code is downloaded from the PSM to PPMs and PLMs via
the internal Ethernet.
The External Ethernet connects the PSM to a Network Management
System (NMS) workstation or a LAN and supports a maximum bit rate of
10 Mbps. The External Ethernet port autosenses between either 10Base2
port or 10BaseT port media. (Only one type of External Ethernet port
may be used at a time, not both.)
PSM Redundancy
There can be a maximum of two PSMs per node. At startup the PSM
software establishes which module is primary (online) and which is
secondary (offline). To provide service or be available for service to the
PPMs or PLMs in the node, a PSM must be either online or offline,
respectively. The online PSM is the currently active PSM; the offline is
the hot-standby PSM.
Card Descriptions
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
For a PSM to be online or offline, it must have a configuration database
or a boot configuration (psmparms) file. Refer to Chapter 5, SSC, HTC,
and SCLP Ports, for more information on PSM configurations.
The primary (online) PSM keeps the disk database on the offline PSM up
to date via a Disk Mirroring task. Whenever the database is saved to the
PSM disk, the new database will be mirrored to the offline PSM. If there
is only a single online PSM and a redundant PSM is installed in the node,
then the database will be mirrored to that PSM directly.
In a redundant configuration a specialized Y cable is used to connect to a
nodal modem. In this redundant configuration, only the primary (online)
PSM can communicate with the DCE device while the other PSM is
placed in the offline mode.

Dial-in Access Modem
The Promina 800 Series provides remote dial-in capabilities into all
Promina nodes via a modem. The purpose of the dial-in access is to
enable Technical Support access to Promina networks and to allow for
remote upgrading of Promina system software and CPU Boot code.
Dial-in access is password protected and has an optional dial-back
verification procedure.
The modem has non-volatile configuration storage and remote
configuration and diagnostics capability.
For Promina 800 nodes, a modem is connected via an adapter DB-25
to RJ-45 cable to the auxiliary port on a PSMI.
For Promina 800 nodes with a redundant PSM, the modem is
connected to the auxiliary ports on each PSMI card via a Y cable.

Card Installation
After physically installing the standard equipment cards (see Appendix
A, Card Installation), use the Operator Interface to add the cards to the
configuration database and to initialize the cards in the node. The node
processor cards parameter data is flooded throughout the network during
the initialization process. Refer to the Node Management manual for
additional explanation and procedures.
Note: The PSM should be installed first, before IP Access Lists are created.
The procedure for installing a PSM differs from the general procedures
used for other standard equipment cards. The PSM is not installed
through the card ID (for example, C3) as with other node cards. It is
installed by using the ins psm command rather than the Install Card
command. The typical procedure for installing a PSM is shown in
Example 4-3.
The general card installation procedure is provided below. Examples for
the PPM (Example 4-1) and the PLM and IPLM (Example 4-2) are
shown following the procedure. All of these examples assume the
operator has already logged into the Operator Interface. Following the
examples are descriptions of the modifiable parameters.
Note: The IPLM installation (processor sector) is performed exactly the same
as the PLM.
Card Installation
After Node
Initialization
To install a card after node initialization has been performed:
1. Enter the Install Card (or Install PSM) command at the prompt.
2. Enter the card ID (slot number) of the card to be installed (not
applicable with PSM).
3. Enter the number that corresponds to the card to be installed or press
the Return key to accept the default card type. The default card type
is in square brackets (for example, [PPM]).
4. If the card does not have any parameters, skip this step. To change the
default parameters, enter the parameter index, specify the new
parameter value, and press Return. Entering a ? displays the valid
inputs for the parameter. When complete, press Return to confirm
that the parameters are correct.
5. When prompted to activate the card (the card is available for service),
press Return to activate the card or enter N. If the card is not
activated, the software displays an enable-card prompt (the card is
available for testing). Press Return to enable the card or enter N.

Standard Equipment Parameters
Among the standard equipment cards, only the node processor modules
(PPM, PSM, PLM, and IPLM) have modifiable parameters. The type and
number of modifiable parameters vary among the card types. Refer to the
previous card installation examples to see which parameters apply to each
card. The installation examples also show the initial or default parameters
for each card.
Processor Card
Parameters
The PPM has only one modifiable parameter, Alarm/Monitor Interface,
which is also a parameter for the PLM and IPLM. Modifiable parameter
descriptions for the PPM, PLM, and IPLM follow.
[0] Alarm/Monitor Interface
Values are Yes (default) or No.
The alarm panel interface is a 26-pin connector (shown in Figure 3-2) on
the PPMI and PLMI cards that is cabled to the optional alarm panel. This
parameter is always set to Yes even if there is no alarm panel installed on
the node. If this parameter is set to No, the PPM and PLM will not
recognize alarms related to external power failures such as a PDU line.
Use the Modify External Alarm Threshold command to cause audible
and visual alarms to be generated on the alarm panel when an alarm
meeting the value specified by this command occurs on the node or in the
network. Audible and visual alarms are also generated when there is a
power supply failure. These alarms are logged in the alarm and event
logs.
[5] PPP on Aux Port
The values are Disabled (default) or Enabled.
The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) parameters enable sending and
receiving IP packets remotely over the auxiliary port on the PLM and
IPLM by TAC via the node modem.
To modify PPP parameters for the PLM and IPLM, use the Install Card
or Modify Card commands. As with other parameters for the PLM and
IPLM, the PLM and IPLM must be disabled to install or modify
parameters. (If the PLM or IPLM is disabled, it will bring down any
existing PPP connection.) No card or node restart is required to configure
or modify the PPP parameters on the PLM and IPLM.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
[6] PPP Baud Rate
The values are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 14400, 19200, 28800,
38400 (default), 57600, and 115200.
This parameter is the baud rate associated with the PPP connection for the
host processor (PLM and IPLM) end. Both ends of the PPP connection
should be configured to have the same baud rate.
[7] PPP Local IP
The value is 0.0.0.0 (default) or the IP address associated with the local
(host node) side of the PPP connection.
[8] PPP Remote IP
The value is 0.0.0.0 (default) or the IP address of the remote side of the
PPP connection.
[9] PPP TyCo Device
The value is the type of serial device and port number; /tyCo/1 is the
default.
The default, /tyCo/1, is the only appropriate value for the auxiliary port
on a PLM and IPLM. The term, tyCo, is the standard representation for
serial terminal devices in the VXWorks operating system software. The
tyCo port number for the auxiliary port is 1.
[10] MTU Size
The values are 256 to 5000 (default is 576).
The value is the Maximum Transmit Unit (MTU) that is to be used for
this PPP connection (this value must match the value used by the remote
end).
PSM Card
Parameters
The modifiable parameters for the PSM and their descriptions follow.
[0/1] Console/Auxiliary Baud Rate
The values are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 (default for console port), 14400,
19200, 28800, 38400, 57600, 115200, and Autobaud (default for
auxiliary port).
This parameter is the baud rate associated with the console or auxiliary
port on the PSM when used for a TTY connection. Both ends of the
connection should be configured to have the same baud rate.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
[2] External IP
The value is 0.0.0.0 (default) or the assigned IP address for the PSM.
The External IP settings are Class A, B, or C IP addresses to be set when
installing the PSM card. Typically a network administrator will assign an
appropriate IP address for the External Ethernet IP. For more information
about IP addresses refer to the Node Management manual.
[4] Subnet Mask
The value is 0xffff0000 (default) or the IP address (in binary) assigned to
the PSM to identify it to external network systems.
This parameter sets the subnet mask (network, subnet, and host IDs) for
the PSM. This mask has a 32-bit value containing binary 1 bits for
network ID and subnet ID, and binary 0 bits for host ID. The subnet mask
is the section of the IP address that determines the network destination as
used by routers. A router always reads the decimal numbers between the
dots (.) as octets (groupings of 8 bits). For more information about setting
the subnet mask refer to the Node Management manual.
Typically a network administrator will assign appropriate values.
Note: If a subnet mask value is entered that is out of the range of the IP network
identifier, it may not FTP to the targeted PSM.
[5/6] PSM1/2 Assigned CardID
The value is 0 (default) or the slot number for the respective PSM card.
This parameter sets the PSMs card identification. Since PSM cards are
not identified by the node as with other cards in Promina nodes, the
PSMs slot number is entered as the PSM card ID.
[10] PPP on Aux Port
The values are Disabled (default) or Enabled.
The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) parameters enable the sending and
receiving of IP packets over the auxiliary port on the PSM and is intended
for remote access use by TAC via the node modem.
Use the Install PSM or Modify PSM commands at initial installation or
when modifying the PPP parameters on the auxiliary port on the PSM. No
card or node restart is required to configure or modify the External IP
address or the PPP parameters on the PSM.

[11] PPP Baud Rate
The values are 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 (default), 19200, 14400, 19200,
28800, 38400, 57600, and 115200.
This parameter is the baud rate associated with the PPP connection for the
host processor (PSM) end. Both ends of the PPP connection should be
configured to have the same baud rate.
[12] PPP Local IP
The value is 0.0.0.0 (default) or the IP address associated with the local
(host node) side of the PPP connection.
[13] PPP Remote IP
The value is 0.0.0.0 (default) or the IP address of the remote side of the
PPP connection.
[14] PPP TyCo Device
The value is the type of serial device and port number; /tyCo/1 is the
default.
The default, /tyCo/1, is the only appropriate value for the auxiliary port
on a PLM and IPLM. The term, tyCo, is the standard representation for
serial terminal devices in the VXWorks operating system software. The
tyCo port number for the auxiliary port is 1.
[15] MTU Size
The values are 256 to 5000 (default is 576).
The value is the Maximum Transmit Unit (MTU) that is to be used for
this PPP connection (this value must match the value used by the remote
end).

Card Query Displays
After a card is installed, the operator can query the card through the
Operator Interface to display the cards current database configuration.
The following sections give examples of the configuration display for
each of the standard equipment controller modules. Descriptions of the
configuration fields are provided after the examples.
Note: As with other OI commands for the PSM, the PSM is not queried through
the card ID (for example, c3) as with other node cards; use the Query PSM
command instead.
The PSM has a separate interface menu, which enables the operator to
query PSM cards for specific PSM configuration information. An
explanation of using the PSM Promina Interface Menu (PPIM), a PPIM
configuration display, and descriptions of the configuration fields are
provided in the next section, Query PSM Displays on page 4-18. Refer to
the Operator Interface Command Summary Chapter for a listing of all
PSM commands and information about other procedures related to the
PSM.

Console Port Settings
The Console ports on the PPMI are configured through the Set Terminal
Option in the Prolog Procedure Menu.
Note: Prolog Procedure Menu functions do not have corresponding expert
mode commands.
The following options can be configured:
Change terminal speedSets the port speed of the console port
Terminal typeSets the type of operator console (for example,
GLASS TTY or TVI 925)
Terminal functionDetermines what the port is used for (for
example, operator console or alarm monitor)
Terminal limitsSets the disconnect criteria (for example no-activity
interval before disconnect)
The Console (and auxiliary) port settings on a PSMI are configured via
the ins psm or mod psm commands.
Refer to the Operator Interface Command Summary Appendix for
additional information about these commands.
Port speeds must be specified for the console ports to match the terminal
speed of the operator console. Valid port speeds (bps) are 1200, 2400,
4800, 9600 (default), 14400, 19200, 28800, 38400, 57600, 115200, and
Autobaud (in which the speed of the port is automatically recognized and
matched with the speed of the operator console).
Caution: Never modify the console port speeds for a Promina node running
Release 2.x1 software from an earlier Promina or IDNX node, or vice versa.
Doing so will result in unpredictable changes to the port speed setting.
To view a summary of port speeds and operator console settings, use the
Prolog Procedure Menu option Query Console. A summary display
appears on the screen as shown in Example 4-9.

5SSC, HTC, and SCLP
Por t s
This chapter describes the operation and usage of the SSC (Secondary
Signaling Channel), the PSC (Primary Signaling Channel) with SCLP
(Signaling Channel Link Protocol), and HTC (HDLC TBus Channel)
ports used to communicate network management information, control
signals and system updates between domains. The topics covered are:
SSC Ports on the PPM, PLM, and IPLM on page 5-1.
SSC Port Installation on page 5-5.
SSC Port Parameters on page 5-7.
HTC Port Installation on page 5-11.

PPM, PLM, and IPLM Configurations on page 5-18.
Port Configuration Descriptions on page 5-19.

HTC Port Query Displays on page 5-23.
SSC Ports on the PPM, PLM, and IPLM
PPM modules function as the central communications point for
transferring control and signal information to and from other Promina
nodes in a network. PPM modules communicate this signaling
information through Signaling Channel Link Protocol (SCLP), that links
Promina and IDNX nodes in a mixed network.
The Secondary Signaling Channel (SSC) communication information can
pass only through IDNX nodes to other Promina nodes, as IDNX nodes
cannot terminate an SSC port.
SSC, HTC, and SCLP Ports
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Note: The SCLP circuit on all internodal trunks is sometimes referred to as the
primary signalling channel (PSC).
SCLP is used for internodal signaling during call setup, network topology
updates, and network management. In Promina networks, SCLP (not
HDLC) is also used to transport IP packets. SSC can be configured to
carry traditional internodal signaling and IP packets or restricted to
carrying only IP packets. Because SSC can carry internodal traffic, it can
be used to supplement the primary SCLP functionality.
SSC is especially useful in providing extra bandwidth for increased
internodal traffic to accommodate network management activity, Telnet,
Rlogin, FTP, or code loading. Since SSC is configurable it provides a
flexible and scalable internodal communication system that can be used
on an as needed basis.
Like SCLP setups, SSC ports also utilize bandwidth on the links between
nodes as long as a SSC port is activated.
Each PPM, PLM, and IPLM has eight internal ports capable of
supporting SSC. SSC ports utilize a portion of TBus bandwidth allotted to
the processor card. Each SSC port takes one load unit from the processor.
SSC port speeds can be set to 8, 16, or 64 kbps.
SSC channels can be established between processors on Neighbor or
Friend nodes. A SSC channels between Neighbor nodes can transport
traditional internodal signaling as well as IP packets. SSC channels
between Friend nodes must be restricted to IP packets. Refer to the
parameter description for [8] Selected Path on page 5-9 for more
information.
Where an SCLP channel is a dedicated channel between two Promina
nodes and is associated with a bundle or trunk which interconnects those
two nodes, an SSC is an additional supplementary channel which may be
configured to enhance the bandwidth between nodes. Although SCLP in
some instances may allow you to choose the amount of bandwidth used
for that channel (for example, on the TRK-3), it is mandatory to have an
SCLP channel on every internodal bundle or trunk. SSCs, in contrast, are
optional.
Figure 5-1 illustrates SCLP and SSC communication links in a typical
mixed network.
TBus Allocation Both primary and secondary signaling channels use the main TBus phase
allocated for use by the nodal controller (processor). An additional phase
is allocated if an HTC port is activated. The size of this second phase is

HTC Ports and SNMP Manageability
To enable managability of a Promina network via an ATM network, a
PPM port type has been added which alows a remote network
management platform to connect to the Promina node via a CellXpress
module.
Currently supported on the PPM only, HDLC-encapsulated IP traffic is
routed from the CX module over the TBus. This facility enables remote
SNMP management over an ATM network. Network management
stations can be remotely located from a Promina node and connect to the
Promina SNMP agent via an ATM virtual circuit rather than through the
Prominas rear external Ethernet interface.

SSC Port Installation
SSC port installation is performed following card installation. Make sure
the PPM card is installed before attempting to install ports.
Use the Install Port command to add ports to the configuration database
and make them operational. Use the Query Port command to display an
installed ports configuration. Use the Modify Port command to change
the ports configuration settings.
The general port installation procedure is provided below. An example of
port installation, Example 5-1, is shown after the procedure. All of these
examples assume the operator has already logged in to the Operator
Interface. Following the examples are descriptions of the modifiable
parameters.
To install an SSC port on a PPM module:
1. Use the menu path or expert-mode command shown below to begin
the Install Port command.
Menu Path: CONFIGURATION/INSTALL/PORT
Expert Mode: Install Port
2. The OI prompts for the port ID (the node, card, and port on the card).
Enter the port ID.
The OI also provides the option of copying the configuration of an
installed port. Use this option when installing multiple ports with
identical configurations.
3. Enter the information shown in Table 5-1 for both the origination port
and the answer port on the appropriate nodes:

parameters are correct. The port is then installed and immediately
activated. When both ports are installed, the SSC channel is
established.
5. Confirm that all port parameters and the destination port ID are
correct, then press the Return key to install the port. The OI displays
the configuration for the port.

SSC Port
Parameters
This section describes SSC port parameters and their settings. Port
parameters are displayed whenever a port is installed, queried, or
modified. Some parameters apply only to specific port configurations.
For example, if the port is set as an answer-only port, specific parameters
for originating ports are not displayed.
The modifiable parameters and their descriptions follow.
Note: If configuring the port parameter Maximum Link Cost Routing, the
value range is 0 (lowest) through 1023 (highest). The default is 0 (no limit). For
a given call, if the call attempts to traverse to a set of links whose costs exceed
the origination port or port bundles maximum link cost value, the call will be
prevented from taking that path and rejected on a call by call basis. For
interdomain calls, the cumulative link cost is reset upon entering a transit and/or
destination domain. This means the cumulative link cost is bounded on a per
domain basis for interdomain calls.
[0] Orig/Ans Mode
The options are Ans-only (default) and Orig-only.
This parameter allows the user to specify whether the port can answer
calls (only) or originate calls (only).
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
[1] Destination Port
This parameter is required only for originate-only ports.
The value is the port ID for the destination port that communicates with
the origination port.
For permanent calls, when the same begin and end time is specified, the
call is torn down and replaced every day at that time. This technique can
be used to optimize the path used. The call will not be torn down when it
is already on an optimal path.
[2] Call/Preempt Priority
These parameter values apply only to originate-only ports.
The range for Call Priority is 0 (lowest) through 15 (highest). The default
is 7. The range for Preempt Priority is 0 (lowest) through 15 (highest).
The default is 0.
Although they appear as one item, these are two independent parameters.
They work together to determine which call is placed or reconnected.
Call priority determines the order in which a call originating from this
port is reconnected when the port is interrupted for any reason. A port
with a high call priority is reconnected before ports of lower call priority,
but after ports of higher call priority. When all ports have the same call
priority, there is no particular order for reconnection.
Call priority is also used to determine whether a call originating on a port
can be preempted when there is insufficient bandwidth on the link to
handle all calls. Call priority and preempt priority work together in
making this determination.
Preempt priority is used when there is not enough bandwidth to complete
a call. The preempt priority value assigned to the call is compared to the
call priority value assigned to other calls on the link to determine which
calls should be preempted. Calls having a call priority value lower than
the value of the preempt priority call are preempted. The preempted call
is placed when enough bandwidth is recovered.
To prevent certain calls originating on other ports from being preempted,
assign them a call priority that is higher than the value of the preempt
priority. Although preempt priority allows the call to obtain bandwidth, it
does not mean that the call will be completed when the destination port is
busy.
Permanent calls are attempted continually regardless of any external
activation. (A path through the network is dedicated between origination
and destination ports.) Demand calls are assigned bandwidth when the
port goes off-hook and then unassigned when the port goes on-hook.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
[3] Secondary Call/Preempt Priority
The range for Secondary Call Priority is 0 (lowest) through 15 (highest).
The default is 7. The range for Secondary Preempt Priority is 0 (lowest)
through 15 (highest). The default is 0.
This parameter provides a secondary call and preempt priority to be used
if the optimal path is not available. If the call tries to build an non-optimal
path, and it tries to preempt other calls on the non-optimal path, then
specified values for secondary call and secondary preempt priority are
used for the call.
[4] Port Type
The value is SSC (default).
For an SSC port the Port Type parameter should be set to: SSC ONLY.
[5] Port Speed
The options are 8, 16 (default), or 64.
The SCC Port Speed parameter can be set to 8, 16, or 64 kbps.
[7] Routing Options
The options are Dont Care (default), Prefer Not, Preferred, and
Required.
This parameter specifies the routing requirements for terrestrial routing,
encryption routing, ATM routing, SCLX routing, and fiber routing.
Use the routing options parameter to specify the routing method for a
specific application. For example, selecting Fiber can indicate any
operator-defined routing method.
Dont CareSpecifies that any available path is used.
Prefer NotSpecifies that certain paths are used when no other paths
are available. The call is not blocked.
PreferredSpecifies that certain paths are used first. When those
paths are not available, any path is used. The call is not blocked.
RequiredSpecifies that only certain paths can be used. When those
paths are not available, the call is blocked.
[8] Selected Path
The values are None (default) or the applicable node IDs.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Up to 12 node IDs, including intermediate nodes and the destination
node, can be specified in a selected path. When specifying more than one
node, separate the node IDs with a comma. The same node cannot be
specified more than once.
This parameter allows the user to override the system and specify the path
the call takes through the network. When creating a path, confirm that it
meets the ports routing attributes. Up to 31 selected paths can be created.
Only one path can be specified per port, but specified paths can be shared
among ports.
After a path is created, it is placed in the path select table, where it can be
queried or deleted. When a path is deleted from the path select table, all
ports using that path are changed to None.
When the Selected Path Required parameter is set to No, and the Selected
Path is not specified or available, the system determines the best path. If
the Selected Path Required parameter is set to Yes, the port will retry
when the selected path is unavailable. (See the parameter description for
[10] Selected Path Required below for additional information.)
If parameter [11] IP Only is set to No, [10] Selected Path Required must
be set to Yes. When [11] IP Only is set to No, then SSC port will carry
SCLP traffic as well as IP traffics, and the call can only go one hop (that
is, to a neighbor node).
[10] Selected Path Required
The values are No (default) or Yes.
This parameter specifies whether the use of the Selected Path is required
or not. If Yes is selected, calls can be routed only via the Selected Path.
If the Selected Path is not available, then the call will not be built, but the
system will retry the call as set in the Call Processing Parameters when
the node was configured. (Refer to the Node Management manual for
additional information on call retries.)
When the IP Only parameter is set to Yes, this parameter is always set to
Yes.
[11] IP Only
The options are No (default) or Yes.
The IP Only parameter can be set to:
YesRestricts the port to IP packets only
NoAllows IP and NON-IP Packets signals

HTC Port Installation
HTC port installation is performed following card installation. Make sure
the nodal controller (processor) card is installed before attempting to
install ports.
The intended connection for the HTC port is to a CX VBR Port bundle.
This configuration allows a Panavue workstation to connect to a Promina
node via an ATM VC.
Only one HTC port can be configured per nodal controller (processor)
card.
The parameters for the PPM are PLM are the same, and the same port
configuration procedures apply to each. Use the Install Port command to
add ports to the configuration database and make them operational. Use
the Query Port command to display an installed ports configuration.
Use the Modify Port command to change the ports configuration
settings. PPM and PLM cards have port parameters that can be modified.
The general port installation procedure is provided below. An example of
port installation, Example 5-2, is shown after the procedure. All of these
examples assume the operator has already logged in to the Operator
Interface. Following the examples are descriptions of the modifiable
parameters.
To install an HTC port on a PPM:
1. Use the menu path or expert-mode command shown below to begin
the Install Port command.
Menu Path: CONFIGURATION/INSTALL/PORT
Expert Mode: Install Port
2. The OI prompts for the port ID (the node, card, and port on the card).
Enter the port ID.
The OI also provides the option of copying the configuration of an
installed port. Use this option when installing multiple ports with
identical configurations.
3. Enter the information shown in Table 5-2 for both the origination port
and the answer port on the appropriate nodes:

HTC Port
Parameters
This section describes HTC port parameters and their settings. Port
parameters are displayed whenever a port is installed, queried, or
modified. Some parameters apply only to specific port configurations.
For example, if the port is set as an answer-only port, specific parameters
for originating ports are not displayed.
The modifiable parameters and their descriptions follow.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Note: If configuring the port parameter Maximum Link Cost Routing, the
value range is 0 (lowest) through 1023 (highest). The default is 0 (no limit). For
a given call, if the call attempts to traverse to a set of links whose costs exceed
the origination port or port bundles maximum link cost value, the call will be
prevented from taking that path and rejected on a call by call basis. For
interdomain calls, the cumulative link cost is reset upon entering a transit and/or
destination domain. This means the cumulative link cost is bounded on a per
domain basis for interdomain calls.
[0] Orig/Ans Mode
The option is Orig-only.
This parameter allows the user to specify that the port can originate calls
(only).
[1] Destination Port
This parameter is required only for originate-only ports.
The value is the port ID for the destination port that communicates with
the origination port.
Note: When configuring an HTC port, the destination port must be on a CX
module.
[2] Call/Preempt Priority
These parameter values apply only to originate-only ports.
The range for Call Priority is 0 (lowest) through 15 (highest). The default
is 7. The range for Preempt Priority is 0 (lowest) through 15 (highest).
The default is 0.
For the complete description see [2] Call/Preempt Priority on page 5-8.
[3] Secondary Call/Preempt Priority
The range for Secondary Call Priority is 0 (lowest) through 15 (highest).
The default is 7. The range for Secondary Preempt Priority is 0 (lowest)
through 15 (highest). The default is 0.
For more information see [3] Secondary Call/Preempt Priority on page
5-9.
[4] Port Type
The value is HTC.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
HTC is the mode which connects the nodal controller (processor) to the
HDLC port on a CX module. In addition, this parameter allows you to
specify a port type of SSC.
[5] Port Speed
Supported speed are 64000, 128000, 192000, and 256000 bps.
Note: A second TBus phase allocation will accommodate the HTC port
bandwidth.
[7] Routing Options
The options are Dont Care (default), Prefer Not, Preferred, and
Required.
This parameter specifies the routing requirements for terrestrial routing,
encryption routing, ATM routing, and fiber routing.
For a description of the routing options parameter values see [7] Routing
Options on page 5-9.
[8] Selected Path
The values are None (default) or the applicable node IDs.
Up to 12 node IDs, including intermediate nodes and the destination
node, can be specified in a selected path. When specifying more than one
node, separate the node IDs with a comma. The same node cannot be
specified more than once.
[10] Selected Path Required
The values are No (default) or Yes.
This parameter specifies whether the use of the Selected Path is required
or not. If Yes is selected, calls can be routed only via the Selected Path.
If the Selected Path is not available, then the call will not be built, but the
system will retry the call as set in the Call Processing Parameters when
the node was configured. (Refer to the Node Management manual for
additional information on call retries.)
[12] IP
The IP address associated with the HTC port. This is the address that will
be used as the "gateway" address when adding an IPA route. Once the
IPA is either defined or referred, the IP Gateway needs to be installed
before an HTC port will allow IP Connectivity to the Promina node.

[13] Master-only
This field is only visible when the port is configured for ORIG-ONLY. If
set to YES, the port will only attempt to build if it is on a Master
processor.
HTC port is intended to facilitate SNMP management through
Panavue workstation at a remote location with ATM connectivity.
A single connection is allowed between a Panavue workstation and a
Promina processor.
Redundancy. When a processor fails and redundant processors are
available the node recovers. The HTC port configuration is processor
module-specific.
You can use the Master-only parameter to configure a recoverable HTC
port configuration (where only one PPM module will activate its HTC
port).
To use the Master-only parameter for redundancy, follow these steps:
1. Configure HTC ports on all processors as ORIG-ONLY with the
destination port being the same CX VBR port bundle.
2. Set the Master-only parameter to YES.
3. Make sure that the ports in CX VBR port bundle are ANS-only.
When the Master-only parameter is set to YES, the HTC port will only
build if that port resides on a card configured as a master CPU.
In the node, one and only one HTC port call can be built. This one call
will always be built on the master processor. When redundant processors
are available and the master fails, the new master brings the HTC call
back up on the same CX bundle.

Promina 800 Configurations
The Promina 800 system is modular in design and available in two
standard configurations:
the standard Promina 800 STS
the expansion Promina 800 EXS
The system standard equipment modules, feature modules, power
supplies, and optional equipment are installed in the Promina 800
shelves.
STS Shelf The standard Promina 800 STS configuration consists of the following
shelves:
one high-speed shelf (HSS-2)
one standard shelf (STS)
The Promina 800 STS configuration and three additional 12-slot standard
shelves can be either rack- or cabinet-mounted.
EXS Shelf The expansion Promina 800 EXS configuration consists of the following
shelves:
one high-speed shelf (HSS-2)
one expansion shelf (EXS)
Note: The Promina 800 EXS configuration is only a cabinet-mounted system. It
can include three additional 16-slot expansion shelves in a single cabinet.

System Hardware
The standard Promina 800 system hardware, with a minimum of two
shelves, is expandable to meet future network requirements. Table 6-1
lists the available Promina 800 system hardware components for
redundant and nonredundant configurations.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Configuration Specifications
You must calculate the following configuration specifications when
designing the Promina 800 system:
the processing capability of the Promina Processor Module (PPM)
the number of PPMs required
the logical slots/applications bandwidth
the power requirements for shelves and modules
net.com systems engineers can assist in calculating these specifications.
Load Units A load unit is a measure of the processing capacity of the nodes
processing modules. Load units compare the processing power available
for each PPM card to the processing power required for other cards in the
system. If the number of load units required exceeds the load units
available, install another PPM card. An net.com systems engineer can
assist in the load unit calculations.
A redundant Promina 800 must have a minimum of two PPMs, up to a
maximum configuration of five PPMs. Each PPM provides 64 load units
distributed as follows:
Seven load unitsrequired from the master processor for call
processing and other nodal functions
Four load unitsprovided for overhead
53 load unitsavailable for other modules
Each additional PPM provides 64 additional load units for other modules.
In some instances, the amount of available RAM on the PPM can
constrain the software functionality and the PPM processing capacity. If
this happens, a PPM cannot use its normal set of load units (53 or 64). To
ensure that the processing capacity of each PPM is not constrained, the
PPM memory is upgradable from 16 Mb (minimum) to 32 Mb
(maximum) using industry standard SIMMs. Refer to the Promina
System Components chapter of this manual for a list of modules requiring
load units and load unit capacities.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Logical Slots Logical slots measure a modules usage of backplane bandwidth. You
must calculate whether a configuration requirement exceeds the logical
slot constraints for a shelf. An net.com System Engineer can assist in
calculating the backplane bandwidth.
The Promina 800 supports 16 logical slots per shelf with a maximum of
eight shelves for a total of 112 (STS) or 128 (EXS) logical slots. If the
number of logical slots exceeds the shelf limit, the modules need to be
rearranged. The number of logical slots required for data port modules
depends on the port speed specified for each card.
Note: For example, only four PPMs can be installed in a single HSS-2 shelf if
four T3 modules are installed; because of logical slot usage, four T3 modules
consume 12 logical slots, leaving only four slots for PPMs. Each offline T3 uses
the same number of logical slots as an online T3.
Refer to the Chapter 7, Promina System Components in this manual for
logical slot requirements and data port module logical slot requirements
based on port speeds for all Promina systems.
Module Power
Consumption
Module power requirements must be considered when configuring a shelf
and determining the system power loading factor. Current consumption
(Amps, labeled A) for all modules is measured at +5.0 V DC, -5.1 V DC,
+12 V DC and -12 V DC with no activity on the modules. Actual values
should not vary more than 5 percent from those listed in the Promina
System Components chapter. Any combination of modules in any given
Promina 800 shelf must not exceed the shelfs power supply
specifications.
Shelf power consumption is determined by adding the power for the front
cards and the rear interface cards. Refer to the Promina System
Components chapter of this manual for Promina 800 module power
consumption.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The T1 jackfield can be either an optional or standard component
depending on the type of shelf installed. The auxiliary fan and alarm
panel are always optional.

Shelf and Slot
Numbering
Shelf numbering is determined by the SX-2 spigot number (07)
connected to a particular shelf, not the physical position of the shelf in the
rack or cabinet. For example, a single HSS-2 shelf is always numbered 0.
For each shelf connected to a node, the available SX-2 spigots are
reduced by the number of T3s or E3s required. Starting with seven
spigots (spigot 0 is reserved for HSS-2), each T3/E3 reduces port
availability by one. The SX-2 spigots also are reduced by the number of
EXS/STS shelves attached. In addition, if two HSS-2s exist in a system,
then each HSS-2 requires one spigot. As a result, the number of available
spigots is reduced.
HSS-2, STS, and EXS shelf numbering details are shown in Table 6-8.

Shelf Types T1 Jackfield

Table 6-8 HSS-2, STS, and EXS Shelf Numbering
Shelf Numbering for HSS-2 Shelf Numbering for STS or EXS
1 HSS-2 = numbered 0 Numbered 1 through 7, STSs or EXSs
2 HSS-2 = numbered 0, x (x=1-7) Numbered 2 through 7, STSs or EXSs
Promina 800 System
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The HSS-2 contains 16 card slots; the STS contains 12 card slots.
Although the STS chassis has only 12 slots, four extra slots are kept as
placeholders, thereby preserving the Promina slot numbering scheme.
This slot numbering scheme creates a uniform slot numbering range that
is independent of the actual shelf type (whether HSS-2, EXS, or STS).
Figure 6-7 Slot Numbering
For example, even though there are 16 slots for the HSS-2 shelf, the slot
numbers are the same for the STS as they are for the HSS-2. Also, the
first slot number for each shelf in the STS is the same as in the
corresponding shelf in the EXS even though each STS has only 12 actual
slots and each EXS has 16 slots.
Slot Restrictions
Slots are restricted in a Promina 800 as follows:
In the HSS-2, for a system with three or fewer shelves, the SX-2 must
be installed in slot 0 and 15; with four or more shelves, a pair of
SX-2s also must reside in slot 1 and 14 (see Figure 6-4). Unused
restricted slots can be used for other cards such as E3, T3, or PPMs.
In the STS, the BXs must reside in the leftmost slots.
In the EXS, the BXs must reside in the rightmost slots.

Caution: Be careful not to bend or damage the pins on the SX/SXI, PPM/PPMI,
and T3/T3I modules during insertion. When you exchange cards on a HSS-2
shelf, a mating problem can occure when inserting a SX-2, PPM, or T3 front
cards. To reduce the chance of damaging pins, loosen the two screws that
secure the rear interface card to the shelf. This allows the board connectors to
mate properly. After the front card is properly seated, tighten the screws on the
rear interface card.

Power Distribution Units
Power distribution units (PDU) distributes input power to the power
supplies in the node or to power supplies on its own shelf. The following
section describes the PDUs for the cabinet, rack, and the HSS-2 and STS
shelves.
Cabinet/Rack
Mounted PDUs
The following PDUs are available and installed in an net.com cabinet or
rack:
-48 and -60 V DC dual feed (vertical mount)
-48 and -60 V DC dual feed (horizontal mount)
100 to 240 V AC dual feed (vertical mount)
100 to 240 V AC dual feed (horizontal mount)
-48 and -60 V DC PDU
The DC PDUs have the following features:
-48 and -60 V DC nominal input voltages [-60 V DC meets the
European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) DC input
voltage requirements].
Individual power supplies can be replaced without bringing down the
node.
It provides for redundant input power.
It provides auxilary direct DC output power .
It can be configured for single or dual feed power.
The DC PDU, which has two recessed circuit breakers, supports two
separate input power groups: A and B. Each group is supported by its
own 60 A DC feed circuit.
The PDU has a total of 10 DC outlets, five outlets per power group. The
DC outlets powered by DC feed A are separated from those connected to
DC feed B. As a result, if either circuit is opened at the switch, only the
power supplies connected to that circuit lose their input power.
Note: When you replace a power supply, use the switches to disconnect input
power to that power supply.
Promina 800 System
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
One of the five outlets in each power group provides auxilary power.
Each AUX outlet is protected by a 2 A fuse mounted in a fuse holder.
Warning: To protect against fire hazard, replace fuses with the same type and
rating as the original installed fuses. Disconnect power to the Aux Power load
prior to replacing fuses.

Connection to DC Power Source
DC power is usually supplied to the STS shelf from a semi-rigid conduit
carrying a minimum of two, 12-14 AWG power conductors. Facilities
with primary and backup power circuits have four conductors (six, if up
to two optional ground wires are provided) in the conduit (A and B feed).
The conduit is attached to the DC PDU junction box. Power conductors
are attached to the terminal block located behind the DC PDU junction
box cover (Figure 6-35). The chassis ground wire, if provided, is attached
to the chassis stud inside the junction box.
Note: A licensed electrician must perform the connection to the DC power
source. Use only copper conductors 12-14 AWG.
The terminal block is factory-set for a single feed circuit using removable
jumpers (Figure 6-36).

net.com cabinet. The power supply tray can hold up to four power
supplies. The power supply has the following features:
over current shut down
two unit status LEDs
easy replacement (in a redundant system) without bringing down the
node
Note: The 400 W AC/DC power supply requires minimum load board usage.
The 400 W AC/DC supports autoranging AC input voltage (90 to 264 V
AC). The 400 W DC/DC power supply for the Promina system operates
in a telecommunication environment where a -40 to -72 V DC is the input
power source.

Minimum Load Board
The minimum load board (MLB) is used in Promina shelves that do not
have sufficient current consumption to regulate power supplies. One
MLB card draws approximately 5.5 A (+5 V DC).
The front panel has LEDs labeled CARD ACTIVE, +5V, and ground test
points.
standard equipment modules, for example BXs, cannot regulate the
power supplies by themselves. In some configurations, an EXS may
require more than one MLB.
Since the Operator Interface does not recognize the MLB, a placeholder
card is installed in the database. The OI response is: Card installed but
not found by software in slot (Slot type: NONE).
The MLB has no interface card. It does not interface with either the TBus
or CBus and does not use any system load units or logical slots.
The MLB can be installed in any empty feature slot in the EXS shelf only
(no more than two per shelf). With the MLB dissipating approximately 30
watts of heat, there should be one empty slot on each side of an MLB for
proper cooling (Figure 7-7).
Note: Remove the MLB from the shelf when the total load of the modules
exceeds the shelfs minimum load requirement. Return the MLBs to net.com

Requirements
The MLB requirements for all shelves based on a minimum configuration
of standard equipment modules are listed in Table 7-23. Any additional
modules such as trunk, data, or voice modules can reduce the number of
MLB boards needed for a shelf. Power consumption calculations for a
shelf are based on the +5 V current consumption for the respective feature
modules.

Configuration
Requirements
In configuring a shelf with an MLB, you must :
List the MLB in the system configuration as part of the sales order.
Install the MLB in all EXSs that do not meet minimum load
requirements (see Table 7-23).
Install a minimum of two MLBs per empty EXS.
Install the MLB between two empty slots to ensure adequate cooling.
MLBs cannot be installed in a Promina 800 HSS-2.
Note: MLBs must be removed from a shelf and returned to net.com when they
are no longer required.
Bus Cards The following bus cards do not require a front card:
bus terminatorthe endpoint of the system buses on the standard
shelf.

T1 Jackfield
The T1 jackfield assembly (Figure 7-8) is standard for the EXS but
optional for the STS. It provides the interface between the T1 trunk and
the Promina T1 trunk hardware. One jackfield per cabinet is installed to
support up to eight trunks (seven trunks for a Promina 200). The T1
jackfield is rack-mounted externally on all configurations except for
cabinet enclosures; direct test access to the T1 trunks is provided for
maintenance. The T1 jackfield includes system cooling fans and supports
DC powered fans only.

Front Alarm Panel-2
The Front Alarm Panel-2 has switches for controlling and testing the
Alarm Panel-2 and its status LEDs (Figure 7-10).
Refer to the Alarms and Events manual for more information about
alarms.
Figure 7-10 Front Alarm Panel-2
The Front Alarm Panel-2 LEDs are described in Table 7-24.
The Front Alarm Panel-2 works with the interfaces on the PPMI and
PLMI modules. The alarm panel generates alarms based on
user-specified alarm thresholds (thresholds are set through the Operator
Interface). When an alarm occurs that meets or exceeds the nodes
specified alarm threshold, the Alarm Panel generates an audible alarm
and activates an LED on the panel.
Alarm Panel-2
Connections
The Rear Alarm Panel-2 (Figure 7-11) has four connectors, a terminal
block for external alarms, and power connections for an optional fan tray.
The audible alarm is mounted on the inside of the rear alarm panel.

Figure 7-11 Rear Alarm Panel-2
Rear Alarm Connectors
CPU-1, CPU-2, CPU-3, and CPU-4 provide the connection from the
alarm to the PPMI or PLMI. The CPU-3 and CPU-4 are shielded
connectors specifically designed to be used with the PPMI/PLMI and the
shielded alarm cable. The CPU-1 and CPU-2 connectors use flat ribbon
cables and connect to the PPMI or PLMI. All four ports can be used
simultaneously.
The External Alarm (Figure 7-11) is used for connecting external
alarm-generating equipment. It functions as an input to generate an alarm
condition. Pulling the EXT ALM IN, signal low, generates an alarm. This
is functionally identical to using the Test button on the front panel.
The Summary Alarm (Figure 7-11) provides a summary of all the
connected nodes. To use the summary alarm feature, all unused
connectors on Rear Alarm Panel-2 must have a jumper connecting pin 7
to pin 9.
Jumper and position indicators are located next to the connector on the
face of the panel. Pin 7 to pin 9 is the no alarm feedback path and is
required to complete the path through all the connectors.
If there are no alarms and all unused connectors are jump-connected from
pin 7 to pin 9, the normally closed (NC) position is connected to COM
and the normally open (NO) position is open. If one or more of the nodes
are in an alarm state, and pins 7 to 9 are jump connected, NC is open and
NO is closed or connected to COM. Consequently, summary alarm is in
the alarm state when NC is open and NO is closed.

Determining Bandwidth
Trunk overhead bandwidth calculations are used to determine whether
enough trunks are available to support the traffic anticipated on a node.
Consider these factors when calculating trunk overhead bandwidth:
fixed overhead bandwidth (for detailed information, refer to the
Trunk Modules manual)
transparent signaling overhead
trunk asynchronous (TA) bandwidth and pass-through timing
Transparent
Signaling
Overhead
The speed of a port determines how much bandwidth is required for a call
originating from that port. For example, INTU-560W calls configured for
transparent signaling require bandwidth greater than their port speed.
Trunk
Asynchronous
Bandwidth
A trunk asynchronous (TA) call is any of the following:
a port with a speed not divisible by 8 kbps
an INTU-560W (net.com mode) asynchronous call
an INTU-560W port configured for 48 kbps
an INTU-560W port configured for pass-through timing
Calculating the amount of TA bandwidth required per TA call is a
complicated process. Factors to consider include the trunk type, the port
speed, and the number of TA calls on the trunk. Contact an net.com sales
representative for accurate bandwidth calculations.
Pass-Through
Timing
Pass-through timing allows an independently synchronized data circuit to
be passed through a node without errors or data loss when a different
clock source is used. For example, INTU-560W ports configured for
pass-through timing require TA bandwidth whether or not they are
divisible by 8 kbps.
Synchronous
Timing
Synchronous timing for INTU-560W ports requires an additional one
percent of the configured port speed for TA calls. For example, an
INTU-560W synchronous port configured for 9.6 kbps requires a total of
9696 bits of bandwidth. One percent is added to the port speed before the
TA bandwidth is determined.

When a port parameter has only two choices, the Operator Interface
automatically changes the value when you select the parameter. When
there are more than two choices, the Operator Interface displays a prompt
for input. Enter a question mark ? to display a list of values.
The Operator Interface provides a default card type if the card is in the
specified slot on the node. A warning message is displayed if you select a
card type that does not match the type of card that is physically installed
in the slot.
Install the card before installing the ports on the card. Prepare a port map
that shows the port connections and port configurations to assist you
during port installation. To save time, you can copy the port configuration
from an existing port.
When you install all ports on the node, the Operator Interface prompts
you to specify filters.
Parameters Port ID.

A - 2 Promina 800 Series Release 3.x3 Promina 800 Installation and Maintenance
Module Installation Requirements
Before you begin installation of any standard equipment modules, you
should be familiar with the concepts of load units and logical slots. A
brief description of each follows.
Load Units Load units measure the processing capacity of the Promina nodes
processor card. Load units provide a method of comparing available
processing power to the processing power requirements from other cards
in the system. If the number of load units required exceeds the available
load units, one or more additional processor cards will be needed.
Load unit requirements for standard equipment modules are provided in
this manual.
Logical Slots Logical slots are a means of measuring a modules backplane bandwidth
requirements. Logical slots must be calculated to determine if a given
configuration exceeds the logical slot constraints for a shelf.
Logical slot requirements for standard equipment modules are provided
in this manual.

Promina 800 Card Installation
In a Promina 800, the interface cards must be installed before the front
cards to ensure proper connection in a shelf. To remove an interface card,
remove the front card first.
After the standard equipment cards are installed, they perform the
following:
PPM and PSMThe boot-up process runs a boot loader that
downloads a copy of the system code from mass storage (PSM disk).
During this process the Fault LED is on, and the numbered LEDs
light up in ascending order to indicate successful completion of
preliminary diagnostic tests. Information regarding completion of
other diagnostic tests is communicated to the console port. When the
Ethernet port is enabled, the Ethernet status LEDs will begin flashing.
When the system code has been properly initiated, the Fault LED
turns off. These preliminary diagnostic tests run in about two to four
seconds. The balance of the boot process (other diagnostic tests and
system code download) completes in a few minutes.
SX-2This card runs self tests to verify that it is functioning
properly. If the tests are successful, the Card Fault LED turns off.
BXThis card runs self tests to verify that it is functioning properly.
If the tests are successful, the Card Fault LED turns off.
If any card consistently fails the tests, call net.coms Technical
Assistance Center (TAC) or your technical support organization.
The standard equipment cards are installed and connected in a specific
manner for achieving the two-domain configuration in a Promina 800
node:
1. The SX-2 cards (on high-speed shelf 0) are installed in slot 0 (A
domain) and slot 15 (B domain). Redundant SX-2 cards are installed
in slot 1 (A domain) and slot 14 (B domain). Refer to Figure A-1 for
illustration of a nodal domain configuration with redundant SX-2
cards.
2. The A domain BX card is placed in the first slot on the left in an STS
or in the second slot from the right in an EXS. The B domain BX card
is installed adjacent to the A domain BX card.

Interface Card Installation
To access an interface card, open the rear cabinet door or remove the rear
access panel, depending on the Promina model installed.
Removing or installing the interface card is similar on all Promina
models, as shown in Figure A-2.

Front Card Installation
EXS shelves have minimum load requirements for proper power supply
operation. If there are not enough cards installed in the shelf, power
supply problems can occur. Installing a minimum load board (MLB) in
the shelf can solve these problems.
Note: The 400W AC/DC power supply requires Minimum Load Board usage.
To install a front card:
1. Use the Query Card command to verify that the slot is not
configured for another card type.
2. If there is an interface card to be installed in the slot, install it first.
3. If applicable, make any jumper or switch settings on the front card.
Caution: When inserting a card, do not force the card in place. If the card does
not seat easily, ensure the card is level to the card guide.
4. Insert the card into the slot, ensuring that the top and bottom of the
card are correctly aligned with the card guides for the slot. (Figure
A-4.)
5. Seat the card within two to three seconds, so that power sequencing is
applied to the card. Ensure that the upper and lower ejector arms are
correctly latched to secure the card.

This appendix describes how to configure a PanaVue workstation for IP
connectivity to a Promina network where there is an ATM network
separating the PanaVue workstation from the Promina node to which it
needs IP access.
This chapter also describes the differences between typical PanaVue
configuration and this configuration which uses an HTC port on a
CellXpress module in the Promina node. The HTC port configuration
also requires that the PanaVue workstation has ATM network
connectivity.
Note: This appendix refers to PanaVue installation information provide in the
PanaVue Management Installation Guide.

B - 2 Promina 800 Series Release 3.x3 Promina 800 Installation and Maintenance
Typical Ethernet-Based Configuration
The following diagram shows the typical PanaVue configuration. The
PanaVue workstation is on the same network (and preferably) subnet as
the external Ethernet interface of the PSM on the gateway node. An
internal Ethernet connects the PSM to the PPM on this node and the PPM
has access to all the other nodes in the Promina network via SSC and
SCLP connections. Figure B-1 shows this configuration:
Figure B-1 Typical Ethernet-Based PanaVue Configuration
The following procedure apply the IP connectivity portion only of the
PanaVue installation. IP connectivity is described in detail in the PanaVue
Management Installation Guide, Installing the PanaVue Base System.
To allow the PanaVue workstation to communicate with a Promina
network using IP over Ethernet alone:
1. Configure the external IP address of the PSM.
This connects the PSM to the network on which the PanaVue
workstation resides. In Figure B-1, Typical Ethernet-Based PanaVue
Configuration, this address is shown as 123.45.67.3. This is the
gateway address that the PanaVue workstation will use for its route
table.
See the PanaVue Management Installation Guide, IP Routing on
Promina 800 Series Nodes for more information.
Note: The PSM is given a valid IP address; usually meaning an IP address
that is on the same subnet as the PanaVue Workstation.
2. Configure IPA on the Promina Gateway node

This installs IP routes on all the processors in the network so that they
know how to communicate with the PanaVue workstation. In the
example in Figure B-1, Typical Ethernet-Based PanaVue
Configuration, the IPA Host is shown as 123.45.67.2 and the IPA
gateway is shown as 123.45.67.3.
Promina 800 Series Nodes for more information.
3. Configure routes on PanaVue workstation to the Promina network.
Each command installs an IP route on the PanaVue workstation so
that PanaVue knows how to reach the Promina network. In this case,
the commands would be:
route add net 10.0.0.0 123.45.67.3 2
route add net 11.0.0.0 123.45.67.3 2
These commands tell the workstation that to get to the 10.x.x.x and
11.x.x.x networks, it must send IP packets to the PSM on the gateway
node.
Note: The IP addresses show a default Promina IP addressing scheme.
Depending on the specific configuration of your Promina nodes, these
addresses may be different where the 10 and 11 are replaced with n and
n+1.
See the PanaVue Management Installation Guide, Configuring
OpenViews SNMP Parameters" for more detail information.
When these steps are completed successfully, the PanaVue workstation
will be able to communicate with all nodes in the Promina network.
HTC Configuration In the HTC Configuration shown in Figure B-2, HTC PanaVue
Configuration, the gateway node is no longer on the same Ethernet as the
PanaVue workstation. Instead there is an ATM network separating them.
The Promina node is connected to the ATM network via a CX card and
the PanaVue workstation is connected with a router connected to both an
Ethernet and ATM network. This is also shown in Figure B-2.

Figure B-2 HTC PanaVue Configuration
To allow the PanaVue workstation to communicate with a Promina
network using IP over Ethernet and ATM follow these steps:
1. Configure the HTC port
This will connect the PPM to the CX with an HDLC connection that
can carry IP traffic. The HTC port configuration is shown in Figure
B-2.
The IP address that is used for the HTC port is unrelated to the IP
address of the PanaVue workstation. This is important so that the
router may be configured to route IP datagrams properly for the HTC
connection. The IP addresses that are shown in Figure B-2 in the
192.168.0.0 subnet are good examples, since they are reserved for
private networks and are not likely to conflict with IP subnets already
in a customers network. Although this choice of HTC IP address is
not mandatory, it is recommended.
Note: If there is another PSM on the gateway node (i.e. node with the HTC port)
and its external Ethernet is active, the IP address of the HTC port can not be in
the same subnet as the PSM external Ethernet IP address, or the route tables in
the Promina network will be corrupted.
Example B-1 shows an example HTC port configuration.

2. Configure IPA on the Promina Gateway node.
This installs IP routes on all the processors in the network so that they
know how to communicate with the PanaVue workstation. In this
example, the IPA Host would be 123.45.67.2 and the IPA gateway
would be 192.168.1.2. Although the address for the host is the same,
it is using the HTC port instead of the PSM as the gateway to reach
the PanaVue workstation.
Note: It is a recommended that the label of the IPA include the characters
"HTC" to indicate to the user that this is an IPA in support of an HTC port. This
will avoid confusion between HTC and "standard" IPA on a node.
Promina 800 Series Nodes for detailed information.
3. Configure route on PanaVue workstation to Promina network - This
installs an IP route on the PanaVue workstation so that it knows how
to reach the Promina network. In this case, the command would be:
route add net 10.0.0.0 123.45.67.1 2
route add net 11.0.0.0 123.45.67.1 2
Here we are specifying the router as the gateway to the Promina
network instead of the PSM. That is because it is via the router that
the workstation gains access to the 10.x.x.x and 11.x.x.x networks.
Promina 800 Series Nodes for detailed information.
4. Configure the PVC in ATM network.
This is the last element in the connection. This will connect the VC
on the CX to the VC on the router. The VPI/VCI for the PVC
connection must agree with those configured on both the CX bundle
and the router, or it will not work (in this case 41/41).
Note: Use the VPI/VCI values provided by your Service Provider.
5. Configure routes on the ATM router.
Configure the router so that it installs an ATM PVC and knows how
to route packets between PanaVue and Promina. It is assumed that
the router being used is made by Cisco and that it is already
configured on both the Ethernet and ATM networks. A sample
configuration is provided in Example B-3.

The added lines of interest start at PVC 41/41. This sets up a single
PVC which corresponds to the CX VBR port bundle. The protocol
ip line below that specifies the IP address of the HTC port, whose
data will be carried in this PVC. Lastly, the encapsulation line
specifies that IP packets will be sent using VCMUX encapsulation,
which is compatible with the HDLC setting of the CX bundle used
by the HTC port.
The other configuration required for the router is static routes that tell
the router to send IP packets with a destination address in 10.x.x.x or
11.x.x.x networks to the interface which is connected to the HTC
port.
When this procedure is complete, the PanaVue workstation is configured
to communicate with all nodes in the Promina network.
