About this Document
Purpose
This document provides instructions, procedures and information for the installation and commissioning of the Network Element Manager UCST R8.
The installation procedures are complemented with instructions to set-up
properly the UCST administration.
For information on the UCST operation, refer to [401].
The UCST is the basic management tool for the commissioning, operation
and performance monitoring of the UMUX Multiservice Access Systems
and the DSL systems family with xDSL Line Terminals and systems for
the transmission on copper pairs and optical fibres.
The UCST can locally directly connect to the NE (from the local
PC/computer) or remotely via modem or a dedicated management communication network. The UCST is required for the initial commissioning to establish the basic configuration of the NE, including the part of the NE configuration that allows the NE suitable communication with a management
network.
The new UCST R8
supports all the Network Elements of the UMUX Multiservice Access
Platform including the legacy multiplexers UMUX 1100/1300 and the DSL
systems.
supports all the functions of the UMUX Multiservice Platform including the
SDH and ATM functionalities.

Commissioning Your PC/Computer

for the UCST
Requirements
Requirements PC/computer The standard local craft device for the configuration and administration of the
UMUX and DSL system equipment is a personal computer, normally a Laptop type PC. The new UCST R8 software is a 32-bit program released for
Windows operating systems as specified in the UMUX / UCST release
notes (e.g. [052] for the UCST R8B):
To check whether your PC/computer and its operating system is
suitable for the installation of the UCST R8, consult the
PC/computer manual and/or contact your system manager.
Details of requirements for PC/computers and subsystems are provided with
the descriptions of the installation procedures for the above operating system in the appendix.
Although it is possible to use systems with lower performance than specified, KEYMILE recommends operating the UCST with PC/computers as
specified. Reduction in PC/computer performance will reduce the performance of the UCST and the management system.
Requirements management
communication
Introduction
For the management communication between your local PC/computer and

the
UMUX 1500/1200/900 provide the
F-, the Q1- and the QX-interface.
The F- and the Q1-interfaces are serial interfaces, and the QX-interface is
a 10BaseT Ethernet interface. While the F- and Q1-interface rely on the
PPP protocol, the QX-interface uses the Ethernet protocol. Accordingly,
the UMUX 1500/1200/900 use the TCP/IP stack and IP addresses to address the NEs.
UMUX 1100(E)/1300 provide the
F- and the Q1-interface.
The DSL System relies on management communication via the F- and
the Q1-interface. All communication uses the serial interface of your
PC/computer and does not require special configuration on the operating
system level.
Remote NE access via the ECC, Q-Bus and EOC (management communication network structure for legacy UMUX, [914]) is not considered here.
2-1
KEYMILE AG
Refer to [202] for an overview of the UMUX management communication

and to [901] for details on the implementation and operation.
If you do not need to manage the UMUX 1500/1200/900 equipment, you may skip the paragraphs on IP addresses.
IP addresses
The implementation of management communication networks for UMUX

requires the assignment of individual IP addresses to each NE. The address
depends on the requirements of the management network and the rules for
the use of IP addresses.
Standards and a world-wide active authority regulate the public use of IP
addresses. Even if you implement a local, isolated management network,
you should adhere to the standards and the constraints provided for address
ranges.
Thorough planning for the assignment of IP addresses in advance
is essential for successful system commissioning!
A later change of the IP addresses requires the re-initialisation of
the NE and will interrupt the traffic services!
For more information on IP addresses and rules for the use of IP addresses,
refer to [902] UMUX Network Functions, chapter 5: "Addressing schemes".
Contact KEYMILE for additional information and trainings for DCN fundamental knowledge and management network planning.
UCST
The UCST R8 provides the Management Network menu to set up the management communication uniformly for all types of subrack-based UMUX and
DSL system equipment.
Management Network Parameters
The Management Network Parameters is the Element Agent part of
the Management Network that allows you to define the type of management communication and indicate the relevant parameters of your PC. It
is possible to create several Element Agents and to edit existing agents
(to a certain extent).
Managed Network Elements (NEs)
The Managed NEs is the second part of the Management Network that
allows you to define a set of NEs, which are assigned to a particular
agent. It is possible to edit the set together with its NEs.
While the UCST completely controls the serial interface for management
communication with the legacy UMUX 1100(E)/1300 and DSL System
equipment, management communication for the UMUX 1500/1200/900 requires additional configuration on the operating system level (Windows).
Please note that:
UCST releases < R4E do not support the UMUX 1200.
UCST releases < R5C do not support the UMUX 900.
2-2
UMUX 1500/1200/900
KEYMILE AG
In addition to the general requirements for running the UCST software on

PC/computers, special requirements apply for the implementation of the
management access to the UMUX 1500/1200/900:
Serial interfaces.
Ethernet interface (10BaseT) for management communication.
Installation of the Dial Up Networking (DUN) and dedicated UCST modems (serial communication only).
Point to Point Protocol (PPP), Transmission Control Protocol / Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP).
IP routing and management communication via the Embedded Communication Channel (ECC).
Administration of IP addresses.
UMUX 1100(E)/1300 and

DSL System
Management communication with the legacy UMUX 1100(E)/1300 and the

DSL System requires a serial port (COM n) on your PC/computer. No preliminary configuration on the PC level is required for this serial interface.
Serial interfaces for management communication only.
Proprietary protocol.
Linear address range (0 255).

KEYMILE AG
Commissioning your PC/computer for the UCST

While the installation of the UCST R8 is straightforward for the DSL System
Where to find operating
system specific information and legacy UMUX 1100(E)/1300 systems, the PC/computer interfaces dedicated to management communication with the UMUX 1500/1200/900 require
additional configuration:
Serial interface (for management communication via the F-, Q1interface, the ECC and legacy EOC).
Ethernet interface (for management communication via the QX-interface
and the ECC)
Commissioning your PC/computer for the UMUX 1500/1200/900 management communication affects both the configurations of hardware and software.
Since the UCST software provides and configures some elements (UCST
RAS modems), it the installation of the UCST software requires the commissioning of your PC/computer when installing UCST.
The configuration of the PC/computer interfaces is part of the Windows
set-up and may depend on your particular version of Windows and your
hardware. The appendix of this document provides instructions on how to
commission PC/computers for the UCST as follows:

Windows 2000
Windows Server 2003
Appendix B: FUTURE use

B1: FUTURE use
Appendix C:
C1: UCST communication network parameters and ucst.ini file
Some PC/computers may automatically do some of the configuration shown
upon start-up. Checking of such automatic settings is however strongly recommended.
For details on the configuration of your PC/computer and its interfaces or in the case of doubts, consult the corresponding manuals
and/or contact your system or network manager.
2-4
If my computer has no serial interface
KEYMILE AG
Basic and other frequently used types of UMUX management communication use the RS-232C serial interface of the PC/notebook which runs the
UCST software. Recent PC/notebook hardware (in particular notebooks)
does no longer provide RS-232C serial interfaces. Instead more powerful
Universal Serial Bus (USB) interfaces are available to connect external peripheral devices to the PC/notebook.
USB to RS-232C serial converters provide an external plug-and-play RS232C serial connection for computers, notebooks and laptops that support
USB interfaces and the USB specification.
The engineering bulletin [828] describes the installation and commissioning
of such devices for the use with the UCST.
Please note that KEYMILE has verified the implementation of USB
to RS-232C serial converters only for specific brands of converters
and Windows XP Professional.

Installation & Commissioning

Procedures for UCST & ESW
Local PC/computer
To check the requirements on and prepare your PC/Computer for the installation of the UCST, refer to the chapter 2: "Commissioning Your
PC/Computer for the UCST" and the applicable appendix for your operating
system.
Requirements memory
The operation of the UCST requires hard disk capacity for three subsystems:
Basic UCST software system (UCST program files including unit templates and software (do not mix with ESW!).
Configuration files created with the UCST.
Files with embedded software (ESW) for units.
While the basic software system of the UCST requires a known amount of
storage capacity, the requirement of the two other subsystems depends
heavily on the type and number of
NEs that are managed via the PC/computer.

KEYMILE AG
The compressed ESW code requires 200 2800 kBytes of memory per unit
and ESW. In contrast to the NE configuration files, it is sufficient to store only
one single copy per ESW on your PC/computer.
It is possible to roughly calculate the requirements of memory for a typical
management domain with 2 ESW versions for the control units and ESW
for 16 types/versions of traffic units with SW download.

logging and backup).
UCST installation
The following paragraphs show step by step instructions for the commissioning and installation of the UCST. Depending on the version and type of your
(Windows) operating system, your hardware and the present configuration of
your PC/computer, there might be differences in the dialogues presented.
The same steps generally apply for all the Windows versions, but are not
generally exactly identical.
Please note that it is possible to install several UCST versions on

your PC.
If you want to install more than one UCST version, you must consider the effects of a UCST de-/installation on already installed and
commissioned UCST scripts, modems and phonebooks.
For details, refer to table 3-5 in the paragraphs on UCST upgrades and Service Packs.
3-4
KEYMILE AG
Installing the UCST the first time

Prerequisites for the local
PC/computer
For general PC/computer requirements for the installation and operation of

the UCST software, refer to the paragraphs corresponding to your operating
system in chapter 2: "Commissioning Your PC/computer for the UCST" and
appendix A or B.
Although not a requirement, we highly recommend that you control your
UCST with a pointing device (mouse).
The installation and operation of the UCST requires further that:
The appropriate Windows operating system has been properly installed
on your PC/computer and performs well.
You are familiar with your Windows operating system.
You are familiar with the hardware/software system of your PC/computer.
A serial interface is available (the Ethernet 10BaseT interface is optional).
If your hardware has no physical RS-232 C interfaces but supports USB
interfaces you can install an USB to RS-232 C serial converter.
The Engineering Bulletin [828] describes the installation and commissioning of USB to RS-232C serial converters for use with the UCST (Windows XP Professional only).
Your PC/computer has been set-up as instructed previously in chapter 2:
"Commissioning Your PC/computer for the UCST".
The Windows operating system (Windows versions as specified in the
UMUX / UCST release notes; e.g. [052] for the UCST R8B) provide an environment that allows the system administrator to assign user rights for the resources of the PC/computer.
The installation of the UCST and the commissioning of the PC/computer for
management communication with the UCST require administrative rights.
With the Windows operating system (Windows versions as
specified in the UMUX / UCST release notes; e.g. [052] for the
UCST R8B) you need administrative rights on your PC/computer if
you want to install the UCST and commission the PC/computer for
management communication.
In the case of doubts on your user rights or problems, ask your PC
Administrator for support!
3-5
Distribution of the UCST

software
KEYMILE AG
The UCST is a software package licensed by KEYMILE. The UCST software

is available on CD-ROM. For customers with a valid service agreement it is
also possible to download the UCST software from KEYMILEs Extranet.
The UCST software (R8 and more recent releases) is distributed in a selfextracting file.
Figure 3-1:
UCST CD-ROM software sample
Please note that the use of the UCST software is limited according
to the license agreement provided with each software package.
For further explanations of the installation process, please refer to the next
paragraphs.
Before you start the installation
Considerations on passwords While running the installation utility of the UCST, the program asks you repeatedly for password entries. Passwords are expressions (letters/numbers)
of up to 15 characters. If you plan a temporary installation of UCST only, or
you are not yet familiar with the use and meaning of the passwords, do not
assign passwords. Just select [NEXT] to step ahead.
If you have UCST System Manager rights, you can assign and change
passwords at any time.
If for any reason, you plan to assign now System Manager keep
this information in a safe place. Only the System Manager is able
to change rights and passwords.
Considerations on Customer
Identifier
The Customer Identifier is essential for the UCST and management communication although you normally do not see the Customer Identifier. The
Customer Identifier encodes the UCST installation (= EM) and the NEs, that
this EM is managing with a common code.
The Customer Identifier protects the management communication and NEs
from tampering with other UCST installations. The Customer Identifier allows
you to segment the NEs within one large management domain into smaller
management entities.
The UCST installation utility initialises the Customer Identifier with the nil
value (= no Customer Identifier defined!). This set-up fits most requirements.
You can optionally assign a Customer Identifier by means of the UCST Customer Identifier Set-up service utility after the initial installation of the
3-6
KEYMILE AG
UCST. You can run this service utility at any time if you have the rights
(password) of System Manager. The UCST installation utility automatically
installs the Customer Identifier Set-up utility .
If for any reason, you plan to assign a Customer Identifier carefully read the paragraph on the Customer Id and keep the Customer Id in a safe place.
Once the Customer Identifier is loaded to an NE, there is no way
to access this NE with any other Customer Identifier unless you reset and reconfigure the NE!
Installation and commissioning
Starting the UCST installation The UCST software is packed in a self-extracting file. If you run this file the
UCST software is unpacked and the installation is automatically started.
The installer guides you during the installation process. Menus and default
settings will help you systematically throughout the installation.
In order to achieve a successful installation, you should shut down
all running applications before you start the UCST installation.
To start the UCST installation on your PC/computer proceed as follows:
Start your PC/computer with your Windows operating system (Windows versions as specified in the UMUX / UCST release notes; e.g.
[052] for the UCST R8B).
Locate and select the UCST installation file
On the UCST CD-ROM in your CD-drive.
If applicable download the UCST installation file from KEYMILEs Extranet (Service agreement required) and save it on your disk.
Start the program ucst_r7<X>_837_inst.exe (<X> = A, B ) from the root
of your CD- or the directory with the downloaded UCST installation file.
To do so you have several options:
Direct start of the UCST installation utility

Main Program Files
The main program files with the

extensions .exe and .dll are mandatory in order to run UCST. The
installation utility installs these files
in the UCST parent directory.
Unit Template Files
The UCST needs these files to

configure units (file extensions:
.cca, .cdu, .psw, .aux, .ipw, .ocu,
.cox, .rps, .pwc, .dtc, sbu, .rcu).
The installation utility creates the

Assigning passwords for user
classes
The UCST installation utility sequences automatically through all the User
Classes, in order to assign corresponding passwords.
The UCST provides four User Classes, which define the rights of access to
the functions of the UCST. The function required for a particular type of
maintenance (function) structures the rights provided with each User Class.
This means also that a higher User Class does not automatically have the
access rights of the lower classes.

can access the NE for information

only. No configuration is possible.
KEYMILE AG
For more information on administrative rights, refer to the paragraphs on

"Passwords and User Classes" in the chapter 4: "UCST System Administration".
For the initial installation of the UCST, the field for the Password is not accessible. This Password corresponds to the System Manager password and
is obviously not defined for the initial installation.
Figure 3-12:
UCST Password Installation dialogue
Please note that:

The installation utility will only produce the dialogues for the
specification of the Passwords if the option Main Program
Files is active (for Typical installation or manually set via Custom installation).
These groups are mandatory for the initial UCST installation.
If this option is not active for the present installation, the installation utility will not overwrite (install) the UCST program files.
If you now want to specify the Passwords for User Classes, you need to
specify your Passwords. The UCST installation utility asks for the verification
of each password.
If you do not want to assign passwords this time
type nothing (no password) into the fields but
step through all password and verification requests by just clicking [Next].
You can assign the passwords later via the Customer Identifier
Set-up program or via the System administration menu of the
UCST.
The password for the System Manager must never get lost! You
will not be able to access the UCST at the level of System Manager without this password!
3-15
KEYMILE AG
If you loose your password for the System Manager, you have to
reinstall your UCST specifying the previous Customer Identifier
(if such Customer Id was specified). You can assign other passwords for the User Classes however.
As soon as you assign the password for System Manager, it is
highly recommended that you store the password together with the
Customer Identifier (if such Customer Id was specified) in a safe
place, accessible to system managers only.
DUN and RAS Modem Connections
The different Windows versions have their peculiarities for the installation
of the RAS Modem Connections:
If you want to use dial-up connections to connect to remote UMUX, refer to
the chapter: "Commissioning for modems" in this document.
The installation of the UCST under Windows 2000, XP Professional/Server 2003 re-creates the ucstras.pbk file (phonebook)
with the default settings each time you install a UCST.
This means that the UCST installation utility overwrites the phonebook of an already installed UCST (e.g. of a former UCST release)
with the default values:
The UCST uses COM 2 as the default port for its modems. If
there is already a modem on COM 2, the UCST assigns this
modem to the selected RAS Modem Connection.
The UCST uses 10.1.1.2 as the IP address default.
and so on for all the other phonebook parameters.
Please refer also to the Letter of Limitations [147] for additional
information on RAS use and commissioning.
To re-establish your DUN access, you must check and eventually
reconfigure the settings in the appropriate ucstras.pbk file.
It is also possible to reuse a previously saved phonebook (same
computer and configuration). To reuse the phonebook, you can
copy the previously saved file into the appropriate folder of your
new UCST installation.
3-16
Figure 3-13:
Press
KEYMILE AG

[Finish]
to close the set-up program and

return to the Windows desktop.
Please note that:

After the successful installation of the UCST, you have to continue with the commissioning of your PC/computer as instructed
for your operating system. Start UCST only after this.
If you plan to use the F- and/or Q1-interfaces for management
communication with the UMUX 1500/1200/900, you should now
install the UCST RAS modems.
If you plan to use remote access to the UMUX or DSL equipment via a (physical) modem, you should now install the UCST
RAS modems.
network.nmc file
The UCST installation routine installs the default network.nmc file in the cfg
folder. The default file overwrites any existing network.nmc file. For UCST
releases with compatible nmc-file structure it is possible to reuse previous
nmc-files with the new UCST installation. This can save a large amount of
work.
To reuse a previously saved compatible nmc-file, copy the file after the
UCST installation in the CFG folder of your new UCST installation.
The nmc-files of the UCST R8 are not compatible with the UCST
R5 and R4 releases!
The use of R5 and R4 nmc-files with the UCST R8 crashes the
UCST R8!
3-17
Ucst.ini file
KEYMILE AG
The UCST R8 uses its own ucst.ini file, which is stored in the UCST directory. UCST R8 creates no entries to the win.ini file. The ucst.ini file requires
no commissioning.
Do not modify the ucst.ini file unless instructed to by KEYMILE.
Log-in/re-booting required
The installation of the UCST and its components adds information to the
Windows User Profiles (e.g. the UCST RAS phonebook). To make the
updated User Profiles active after the UCST installation, you must re-boot
your computer or log-in again.
After the successful installation of the UCST software, you need to continue
with the commissioning of your PC/computer as instructed. The exact procedures depend on the type of your operating system. Start UCST only after
this.

UCST program directory structure
The UCST installation utility creates (if all the options of the installation are
active) 8 directories under the UCST parent directory:
3-20
KEYMILE AG
Parent directory (default parent is UCST R8A)

The UCST installation utility installs the main program files and the
unit software files (with the extensions .exe and .dll) here.
Cfg folder
The UCST uses this folder as the default directory to save configuration files. This directory also holds the file network.nmc, which contains the data of the (default) Management Network, and the set of
standard configuration files to create new NEs with old control units.
Cps folder
The Cps folder contains subfolders for each type of custom parameter
data files:
Ipsmg
This folder contains the Custom Parameter Sets for the IPSMG
units. The Custom Parameters Sets defines parameters for the
H.248/MEGACO and RTP protocol implementation as well as traffic related parameters.
Les_vgate
This folder contains the Custom Parameter Sets for the LES (Loop
Emulation Service) function with ATM IADs and VGATE.
V5_pconv
This folder contains all the V5 Custom Parameters Sets that have
been released for the PCONV/PCON2 and your UCST. You need
a V5 Custom Parameter Set if you want to use V5-functions with
PCONV/PCON2 in your UMUX network.
Since V5 requires a conscious implementation on all levels you
should contact KEYMILE if you plan to use V5 with the UMUX.
V5_vgate
This folder contains all the V5 Custom Parameters Sets that have
been released for the VGATE and your UCST. You need a V5
Custom Parameter Set if you want to use V5-functions with
VGATE in your UMUX network.
Since V5 requires a conscious implementation on all levels you
should contact KEYMILE if you plan to use V5 with the UMUX.
The UCST installation utility only installs the default CPSs.

The CPSs (Custom Parameter Sets) are separately distributed on
CD-ROM or available via KEYMILEs Extranet (service agreement
provided) and require separate commissioning (Refer to the paragraphs Commissioning your computer/PC for ESW and CPS).
3
Data folder
The UCST installation utility installs the unit template files here (template files have the extensions .cca, .cdu, .psw, .aux, .ipw, .ocu,
.cox, .rps, .pwc, .dtc, sbu, .rcu). UCST uses these files to configure
the units.
The Data directory contains the Obsolete sub-directory if the Obsolete Template Files option was active during installation. This directory
contains all the supported legacy templates.
3-21
KEYMILE AG
Fw folder
The UCST installation utility installs the current APDSW-file here. The
UCST requires the unit firmware files (with the extensions .R<XY>) for
the delivery of unit software to the NEs.
The unit SW (embedded SW) is separately distributed on CD-ROM or
available via KEYMILEs Extranet (service agreement provided) and
requires separate commissioning (Refer to the paragraphs Commissioning your computer/PC for ESW and CPS).
Pm folder
The xml-files in the PM folder provide basic definitions for the performance monitoring of the generic layers with PM. This type of PM is
available for units released with UCST versions UCST R6B.
Polling folder
UCST polling or the initial upload / download command generates
configuration files for polled NEs with the prefix ucstpolling_ in this
directory ( UCST R6A).
Profiles folder
The Profiles folder contains all the profile structures that the current
UCST supports. For each profile type a default profile is available.
Report folder
The UCST uses this directory as the default directory to save reports
and print files.
Depending on the options selected for the installation, the UCST installation
utility may not install one or several of the directories.

KEYMILE AG
UCST and Customer ID

Use of the Customer Identifier
The Customer Identifier protects the management communication and NEs

from tampering with other UCST installations. The Customer Identifier allows
you to segment the NEs within one large management domain into smaller
management entities.
The Customer Identifier allows you to protect the systems and NEs in your
management domain against attempts to access management by third parties, even if the passwords for the User Classes are known.
The definition of a Customer Identifier is not generally recommended!
A Customer Identifier should be considered only if one of the
above mentioned circumstances requires the implementation of a
Customer Identifier.
An active Customer Identifier complicates the UCST administration
(maintenance, upgrades) and requires a high degree of consciousness for the handling of passwords.
The definition of a Customer Identifier is optional. You can assign a Customer Identifier by means of the UCST Customer Identifier Set-up service
utility.
The Customer Identifier is essential for the UCST and management communication although you normally do not see the Customer Identifier. The
Customer Identifier encodes the UCST installation (= EM) and the NEs, that
this EM is managing with a common code.
The UCST checks the Customer Identifier encoded with your UCST installation and the NE before you can establish a connection to the NE. If the Customer Identifiers of your UCST and NE (control unit) are not matching, the
connection is refused. With the first download of a configuration, the UCST
loads its Customer Id to the NE. If you configure an NE with a UCST without
a Customer Identifier, the NE accepts a first configuration download from a
UCST with a Customer Identifier.
You can compose an expression of up to 15 letters and/or numbers to define
the Customer Identifier.
If you have to re-install your UCST, the loss of the Customer
Identifier is fatal and will force you to reset and reconfigure all
NEs that you have configured with this particular identifier and installation of UCST!
The Customer Identifier labels a particular installation of the UCST
and all the NEs configured with it. Since the identifier is loaded to
the NEs, there is no way to access these NEs with any other Customer Identifier unless you reset and reconfigure the NE!
As soon as you assign a Customer Identifier, it is highly recommended that you store the identifier together with the password for
System Manager in a safe place, accessible to system managers
only.
3-23
Initial installation of the

Customer Identifier
KEYMILE AG
The UCST installation utility initialises the Customer Identifier with the nil
value (= no Customer Identifier defined!). This set-up fits most requirements.
You can optionally assign a Customer Identifier by means of the UCST Customer Identifier Set-up utility after the initial installation of UCST. You can
run this service utility at any time if you have the rights (password) of System
Manager. The UCST installation utility automatically installs the Customer
Identifier Set-up utility
Before you start the Customer Identifier Set-up utility first close all running
UCST programs.
Close all running UCST programs before you start the Customer
Identifier Set-up utility!
Running the Customer Identifier Set-up utility while corresponding
UCST programs are running might lead to serious system crashes.
Start the program Customer Identifier Set-up utility from the UCST R8 program folder or the UCST R8 start menu.

Changing the Customer

Identifier
Introduction
KEYMILE AG
There are basically 2 situations to consider when changing the Customer Id:
You want to update/install your UCST without considering managed NEs
and management communication.
This operation requires no special attention. You can update the Customer Id via re-installation of the UCST or the Customer Id set-up utility.
You want to update/install your UCST with a new Customer Id and preserve the connectivity to the managed NEs.
This operation requires special attention. You must re-define the appropriate Customer Id for your UCST and the managed NEs. For details, refer to the description below.
Changing the Customer Identifier is a critical operation, since it can
make you loose the connectivity to all your NEs!
Proceed very carefully when you change the Customer Id. Never
loose the Customer Id.
Changing (resetting) the Customer Id is only possible if you
know the current Customer Id.
Re-define the Customer Id
The controlled change of the Customer Identifier in a network with managed

NEs requires actions on the
UCST installation level
management communication and NE configuration level
This allows the UCST to keep the connectivity with the managed NEs after
the change of the Customer Identifier, or in other words to update the managed elements of the network with a new Customer Id.
Prerequisites
It is assumed at this point (and a prerequisite) that

Your UCST has now connectivity with all the NEs.
This means that your UCST (current Customer Id) has a valid parameter
set for each NE in the corresponding Management Network Agent.
You know the current Customer Id.
If you have used different Customer Ids when connecting different NEs, you
must establish the prerequisites as described above and repeat the complete sequences for the UCST program and the Communication and NE
configuration level for each Customer Id!
To change the Customer Identifier, please respect the order of
steps described below!
3-27
UCST program level
KEYMILE AG
First close all running UCST programs.

Close all running UCST programs before you start the Customer
Identifier Set-up utility!
Running the Customer Identifier Set-up utility while corresponding
UCST programs are running might lead to serious system crashes.
Start the program Customer Identifier utility from the UCST R8A program
folder.
The set-up program immediately produces the following dialogue:
Figure 3-20:
If there is a password assigned for System Manager then

enter the
Password
for System Manager
and press
[Next] or [Enter]
to continue
[Next]
to continue.
otherwise
press
Now the dialogue prompts you for the specification of the Customer Identifier:
3-28
Figure 3-21:
KEYMILE AG
It is of course possible to specify an empty string (thus no Customer Id) as

the new Customer Id.
The Customer Identifier Set-up utility asks you now for the verification of the
specified Customer Identifier.
The sequence of steps following now corresponds exactly to steps provided
by the UCST installation utility for the definition of the passwords (if any) for
the User Classes.
The set-up program closes as soon as you have defined the Customer Identifier and all the passwords.
You can assign and modify the passwords for the User Classes directly from the UCST (SysAdmin menu, refer to the corresponding
paragraphs below).
Communication and NE configuration level
The following steps allow the UCST installation with the new Customer Identifier to keep the connectivity with the configured NEs, which still carry configurations, based on the former Customer Id.
Do not locally modify the configuration of any NE unless you have
changed the Customer Id of its configuration as described below.
If you change the configuration you might loose the NE access
with the UCST (new Customer Id).
3-29
KEYMILE AG
To adapt the NE configuration and NE to the new Customer Id proceed as

follows:
Start the UCST (with the new Customer Id)
Connect the UCST to the NE (old Managed NE)
This is possible since the UCST database contains NE configuration and
management communication data with the former Customer Id.
Upload the NE configuration
No modifications required.
Partial download
The download now writes the new Customer Id to the NE.
It is now no longer possible to access the NE. If you try to do so (e.g. via
the Set Time menu) an error message (for the UMUX 1500/1200/900
Layer 7: Login error) pops up.
Disconnect the NE
Adapt the Management Network
To do this, select the appropriate Element Agent and the corresponding
NE from the list of Managed NEs.
Press [Modify] and then press [OK] in the Modify Network Element
dialogue (new Managed NE). This adapts the management communication parameters in the temporary database for the new Customer Id.
Check the connectivity
Connect the UCST again to the NE and check the access (e.g. via the
Set Time menu).
Disconnect the NE
Repeat all the above steps for each of your NEs!
If you have processed all of your NEs, save the management communication parameters from the temporary database to the network.nmc file. You
can do this either via
Closing your UCST session
Pressing the [Save] button in the Management Network Setup dialogue.
Now your UCST and the managed NEs operate with the new Customer Id.
UCST with new Customer Id
The update/installation of the UCST with a new Customer Id without considering managed NEs requires no special attention.
You can update the Customer Id alternatively via
re-installation of the UCST
For details, refer to the paragraphs on the initial UCST installation above.
running the Customer Id set-up utility.
Start the program Customer Identifier set-up utility from the
UCST R8A program folder.

UCST updates and Service Packs

Update principles and impacts
Four processes allow you to change your UCST installation. Depending on

the particular requirement and the update, you
Re-run the UCST installation utility
This allows you to update parts of the installed UCST file system. You
can add new parts to your UCST installation as described previously but
you cannot remove already installed parts. It is not possible to alter the
parent directory for the UCST program files.
Re-running set-up with the Main Program Files (automatically with "typical" or as a "custom" option) allows you to modify the Customer Identifier
and subsequently the passwords for the User Classes.
Run the UCST service Pack.
De-install and re-install the UCST.
This allows you to remove all parts of the UCST file system from your
PC/computer and create a completely new installation of the UCST.
The de-installation process will not delete directories if it finds files
(and/or directories) other than the default files in a UCST directory.
Re-running the UCST installation utility has impact on some of the installed
UCST elements. The table below describes the effects of a UCST de/installation on already installed and commissioned UCST scripts, modems
and phonebooks.

The paragraphs Considerations for the handling of phonebooks and RAS

connections (Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003) while updating UCST in Appendix C (C.2) provide additional information on problems related to the use
of phonebooks and RAS connections with the UCST and describes workarounds.
Updating the UCST
You can re-run the UCST installation utility to update your UCST. The installation utility allows you to select between the options
Typical
Custom
For details of the 2 options, refer to the previous paragraphs on the initial
UCST installation.
With "typical" and the Main Program Files "custom" option the re-installation
sequences through the password section of the UCST installation. To avoid
problems with managed NEs you must normally not change the Customer Id
and passwords.
Start the UCST installation utility as previously described.
The installation utility recognises the installed UCST and asks you to confirm
the program update.

re-installation sequences through the password section of the
UCST installation.
To change the Customer Id and/or UCST passwords, refer to
the corresponding paragraphs above.
The update process concludes with the Setup Complete dialogue.
Please note that
If you re-run the UCST installation utility, the set-up program will
not overwrite the file network.nmc in the Cfg directory in your
UCST installation. The set-up program will however re-install
the file with the default agents if the file has been removed previously.
If the UCST installation utility asks you for the permission to
overwrite components (RAS phonebooks etc.) don't allow the
installation utility to overwrite if you want to preserve the configured functionalities.
UCST service packs
If it is necessary, KEYMILE will provide Service Packs for the UCST software.
Service packs for the UCST are released and distributed together with a corresponding release note. A new service pack includes the fixes and features
of all the previously released service packs for the specified UCST release.
The UCST Service Packs are available on CD-ROM. For customers with a
valid service agreement it is also possible to download the UCST Service
Packs from KEYMILEs Extranet.
The Service Pack utility automatically updates and installs program and data
files as required.
If applicable the documentation provided with the Service Pack will provide
additional information on the application of the service utility.
Please note that some of the Service Packs are complete UCST
installations.
When installing such service pack you must consider the effects of
a UCST de-/installation on already installed and commissioned
UCST scripts, modems and phonebooks.
For details, refer to table 3-5 in this paragraph.

KEYMILE AG
Removing the UCST

Before you remove the
UCST
To remove UCST from your PC/computer you must use the Windows utility
Add/Remove Programs normally accessible via the Control Panel.
Before you start the removal of the UCST,
Close all running UCST instances.
With active UCST instances the removal is only partial and will
eventually block the re-installation of the UCST.
Save the file network.nmc from the directory CFG in your
UCST installation.
The file stores all the parameters of the Management Network.
The UCST uninstall utility will remove the file. If you do not save
this file, you will loose your agents. To reuse your agents, you
can copy the saved file into the cfg-folder of a new UCST installation. The UCST installation utility just installs the default
agents.
Please note that the nmc-files of different UCST main releases
are not necessarily compatible (refer to warning below)!
The script (important for Windows XP 2000, Professional and
Server 2003) and the ucstras.pbk phonebook are affected
when installing or de-installing the UCST.
If your ucstras.pbk phonebook contains other than the default
entries, you should save the phonebook. The UCST set-up program overwrites the phone book with the default phonebook. To
reuse your phonebook (same computer and operating system),
you can copy the saved file into the appropriate folder of your
new UCST installation.
The UCST R8 nmc-files are not compatible with the UCST R5 and
R4 releases!
The use of R5 and R4 nmc-files crash the UCST R8!
However, the UCST R8 nmc-files are compatible with the UCST
R6 releases!
For details of the effects on UCST system files, refer to table 3-5 in the paragraph below.

Uninstall the UCST
KEYMILE AG
To uninstall the UCST proceed as follows:

From the Control Panel double click
Add/Remove Programs Properties and
select the tab
Install/Uninstall
if it is not already selected.
select
Configuration Software Tool R7<x> (COZBU <y>)

from the list of programs.
Figure 3-24:
press

to start the UCST uninstall utility.
The utility asks you to confirm the removal of the UCST SW and all of its
components.
Figure 3-25:
Press
Confirm File Deletion for the UCST dialogue
[Yes]
to confirm the removal and start

the UN Install shield .
[No]
to cancel and keep the UCST installed.
3-37
Figure 3-26:
KEYMILE AG
UN Install Shield start dialogue
The UCST uninstall removes only files and directories created during the installation of the UCST. Files created or added to the UCST directories after
the UCST installation will be left (e.g. configuration, firmware files etc.). This
means also that the directories created with the installation of UCST will be
removed only if these directories contain no files that have been created after the installation of the UCST.
For this reason, you need to delete the UCST directories separately in most
cases, if you want to remove all the UCST related files from your computer. The
advantage of this procedure is that you can reinstall the UCST into the existing
structure of directories without losing custom created files (e.g. *.cfg files).
The UCST uninstall utility considers shared program files that other programs (e.g. other UCST versions) might use.
For details of the influence of the UCST de-installation on UCST
system files refer to the Table 3-5 and related comments in the
previous chapter UCST updates and Service Packs.
Please note that you have to use the uninstall utility to remove the
UCST from your PC/computer. Simple deleting of files and directories will leave the software system of your computer with corrupted
entries.
To reinstall UCST, you have to re-run the complete UCST installation process (except for DUN etc. But you also have to re-install the UCST RAS modems!).

KEYMILE AG
Commissioning your PC/computer for ESW and CPS

Use of unit software
The units with Embedded Software (ESW) require that a copy of their ESW
is installed on the PC/computer for software download to the unit.
SW download is a generic feature for the UMUX 1500/1200/900 network
elements. SW download is supported for units as follows:
COBU<X> control units (UMUX 1500/1200/900)
ABUS units
PBUS units
SBUS units
some of the newer UBUS units (when operated in the
UMUX 1500/1200/900)
new remote units.
Currently, SW download for remote units is only available for the
MUSIC 200 when operated with the LESI8 and SLID1 and the CPEs of
the MUSIC 700 family. New systems and remote units will be provided
within short notice.
The UMUX 1100(E)/1300 and other equipment managed via UCST do not
use a generic SW download as it stands now (The DSL System uses a proprietary SW download). You can skip the following paragraphs if you are not
using the UMUX 1500/1200/900 equipment.
Two system processes handle the download of unit software:
Unit software delivery:
The UCST transfers the compressed unit software from the PC running
the EM to the COBU<X> control unit. The software is stored in the PC
memory card of the control unit.
Unit software installation:
The COBU<X> transfers the unit software to the corresponding unit for
the installation. To do this, the SW installation process reads the software
from the PC memory card, decompresses the code and copies this code
to the non-volatile memory of the unit.
You can control both processes, software delivery and installation, via the
UCST.
The unit software requires additional space on the hard disk drive.
The total space required depends on the number and types of unit
software. Please note that you can store several releases of software per unit. For requirements on additional memory, refer to the
paragraphs "Preparing for Installation".
For more information on the ESW system, refer to the UMUX technical description [202] and to the UMUX user guide [302].
Use of CPS
Custom Parameter Sets (CPS) are customised set of parameters which

control the V5 and NGN functions of the UMUX for seamless interoperability
with the customers access network. CPSs are only created for high volume
applications.
3-39
KEYMILE AG
Currently, the UMUX supports CPSs for units and functions as follows:
IPSMG (NGN application)
PCONV, PCON2 (V5 application)
VGATE (V5 application)
VGATE (LES application of ATM modems)
With the installation of the UCST, the installer utility installs for each CPS
type the UMUX default CPS and if applicable customer specific sets - in
the corresponding directory. These sets are required for standard commissioning of the affected units (including user ports in the UMUX access network) and functions.
Distribution of ESW and

CPS
The current ESW and CPSs is distributed on a separate CD-ROM with the
UCST software.
ESW and CPSs may change due to new releases of function units or bug
fixes. Up-to-date ESW and CPSs are available on CD-ROM and via
KEYMILEs Extranet (service agreement provided) at any time.
All unit software is copyrighted by KEYMILE.
The use of unit software is limited according to the license agreement provided with each software package. The data carrier with the most recent
ESW is automatically created and delivered with the unit deliveries.
ESW and CPSs are backward compatible with existing hardware
and functions. Accordingly, it is possible to use the most recent
ESW and CPSs with legacy functions..
KEYMILE recommends the use of current ESW and CPSs in all installations, since the current ESW and CPSs eliminate bugs and
deficiencies of legacy ESW and CPSs.
The ESW CD-ROM contains directories and data-files as follows:
CPS directory and sub-directories (with data files)
Desktop SW (software) directory (with software files)
ESW directory (with ESW files)
Release notes and letter of limitations for supported UCST releases.
UMUX unit SW index file with names and versions of ESW and desktop
software provided with the CD-ROM:
3-40
Figure 3-27:
KEYMILE AG
Structure of ESW CD-ROM (sample)
Please note that the release notes and letters of limitations provided on the CD ROM change with system and platform updates.
Installation of ESW on the

PC/computer
Unless not already installed, you must first install your UCST before you can
install ESW (unit software).
You must copy the ESW to the FW directory appended to the parent UCST
directory. The UCST installation utility automatically creates the FW subdirectory in the UCST parent directory:
The screenshot below shows the contents of the FW directory after the initial
installation of the UCST.
Figure 3-28:
Directory structure sample with FW directory
3-41
KEYMILE AG
The UCST installation utility creates the current APDSW (APplication

Download SoftWare) file into the FW directory (refer to the figure above).
The APDSW files provide the SW for the installation of the ESW on the
units. The UCST has information on the versions of the APDSW required for
each ESW and ESW version.
The evolution of systems with software download requires new APDSW.
The APDSW file is typical for the UCST version.
apdsw_R1.A10
apdsw_R1.B00
apdsw_R1.C03
(e.g. provided with the UCST R7A)
Normally the COBU<X> uses the last version of the APDSW to install the
ESW.
Copy now all the ESW that you need for the configuration of your NEs to the
FW directory. Current ESW and CPSs are available on CD-ROM (initial versions delivered with the UCST) and via KEYMILEs Extranet (service
agreement provided).
It is possible copying multiple ESW releases for the same function unit to the
FW directory.
You can also remove ESW that is no longer needed. However, the UCST
can only deliver ESW that is resident in the ESW directory!
Do not remove APDSW files! Do not modify or process ESW and
APDSW files.
Unpredictable system behaviour might result!
For more information on the ESW and the SW download, refer to the UMUX
technical description [202] and to the UMUX user guide [302].
Installation of CPSs on the

PC/computer
Unless not already installed, you must first install your UCST before you can
install additional CPSs (Custom Parameter Sets).
You must copy the CPSs to the FW directory appended to the parent UCST
directory. The UCST installation utility automatically creates the CPS directory with application specific sub-directories in the UCST parent directory:
The screenshot below shows the CPS directory structure and the contents
of the IPSMG sub-directory after the initial installation of the UCST.
3-42
Figure 3-29:
KEYMILE AG
Directory structure sample with FW directory
The UCST installation utility copies the default CPSs in the application specific CPS sub-directories. If applicable, customised CPSs are additionally installed with the customised UCST versions.
Copy now all the CPSs that you need for the configuration of your NEs to the
appropriate CPS directory (Ipsmg, Les_vgate, V5_pconv, V5_vgate). Current ESW and CPSs are available on CD-ROM (initial versions delivered
with the UCST) and via KEYMILEs Extranet (service agreement provided).
You can also remove CPSs that are no longer needed. However, the UCST
can only use CPSs that is resident in the CPS directories!
Do not try to modify or process unit CPS files.
Unpredictable system behaviour might result!
For more information on the CPS, refer to the UMUX user guide [302] and
the affected function units.

Commissioning for modem communication

UCST/UMUX connections
via modems
The UCST supports management connections via modems to the

UMUX 1500/1200/900, the UMUX 1100(E)/1300 and the DSL Systems. Two
connection types support management networks with modems.
2:
Remote Permanent:
With this type of access, you can link your PC/computer (UCST) via
modem with a UMUX 1500/1200/900 that provides the gateway function to the IP network.
From this gateway NE, you can access any type of NE via an IP network (LAN, WAN, Intranet etc.). The gateway NE is dialled up when
the corresponding Element Agent is started.
The dialup number is saved with the RAS settings.
4:
Modem Point-to-Point:
With this access type, you can link your PC/computer (UCST) via modems to any NE of the type UMUX 1500/1200/900, the
UMUX 1100(E)/1300 and DSL System.
Each of the NE connection uses its specific dial-up number. You
specify the dial-up number with the other NE access parameters in
the list of Managed NEs for the corresponding Element Agent in the
Management Network menu. The connection to a MUX is dialled up at
the first request for management communication to the NE.
For details on UMUX management access, refer to the chapter 3: "Accessing NEs with the UCST" in [401]. The paragraph numbers above correspond
to the numbering of the Management Networks and connections in chapter

The paragraphs below describe the commissioning of the local / remote modem and the commissioning on the PC/computer level. For information on
the configuration of the Management Network, refer to the chapter 3: "Accessing NEs with the UCST" in [401] and [901].
For demonstration purposes the installation and commissioning process is
shown with the popular U.S. Robotics 56k FAX EXT modem.
The local modem can be a computer built in dial-up modem (Lap top computer) or an external dial-up modem (desktop modem).
Local modem
For the physical and electrical installation of external modems, refer to the
user manual provided with your modem.
With built in modems, the physical and electrical installation is normally limited to the connection to the (public) telephone network. For corresponding
information consult the user manual provided with your computer.
The parameter settings of the local modem are not critical for UCST interoperation and depend mainly on your telephone network and services.
You can use a terminal program running on your PC/computer to create the
required AT commands for the modem. For details, refer to the manual of
your modem.
The local modem works fine with the parameter settings as documented below for the U.S. Robotic 56k FAX EXT modem (The list below has been

The parameter settings of the remote modem are critical for the interoperation with the COBU<X>. The COBU<X> supports data flow control (physical
handshake) and adapts the bit rate of its serial interface automatically to the
incoming bit rate.
Reliable communication in the public telephone network requires a limitation
of the transmission speed, which can be below the maximum supported

Local modem installation
KEYMILE AG
The installation of the local modem in your operating system is required for
both modem types (external and internal modems). The installation procedure for the local modem depends on your operating system:
Windows 2000, XP Professional and Server 2003
To add your modem use the built in auto detection/installation feature of
the OS (if all hardware is installed) or select:
Settings Control Panel Phone and Modem Options
Modems Add
Follow the instructions provided. The procedure is very similar to the installation of the UCST modems (refer to the paragraphs "Installing UCST
RAS modems" under Windows 2000, XP Professional and the paragraphs in "Application notes" for Windows 2000, XP Professional and
Server 2003 respectively in appendix A).
Select the appropriate modem driver for your modem from the list
of modems. These modem drivers are not a part of the UCST
software.
If there is no driver for your modem in the list, you must install this
driver or use a standard modem type ("Standard <x> bps Modem"). Consult your modem user manual for detailed information
on your modem.
Local modem parameters
The PC/computer configures the local modem when starting the dial-up sequence according to the parameters in the corresponding RAS Modem
Connection entries in the Windows operating system. Accordingly, the
important modem parameters are accessible via the RAS connection dialogues (depends on your operating system). The parameters directly accessible via the modem dialogues (below) are not directly relevant for the commissioning of the UCST/UMUX connection.
To control the modem parameters select the menu Settings Control
panel.
Double click the

Introduction
To allow the UCST Element Agents (Remote Permanent or Modem Point-toPoint) to use new (dial-up) modems, you first must commission the UCST
with the corresponding UCST communication parameters. The relevant parameters are the Name of Your Modem and the corresponding RAS Modem Connection (both parameters reside in the ucst.ini file):
For the commissioning of the UCST with modems and network connections
(= RAS modem connections), KEYMILE provides a software tool and describes a manual back up method:
UCST Communication Interface Manager (preferred)
This tool has a self explaining GUI and allows you to install modems and
RAS connections for the UCST Element Agents. It is available UCST versions UCST R6B.
The paragraphs below provide a detailed description of the UCST Com
IF Manager (UCST Communication Interface Manager).
Manually via editing of the ucst.ini file (exceptionally only)
Direct editing of the ucst.ini file is only required if the UCST Com IF
Manager is not available.
3-55
KEYMILE AG
For details of the manual procedure, refer to "Appendix D: UCST communication network parameters and ucst.ini file ".
To install the UCST communication interfaces with the UCST Com IF Manager proceed as follows (summary):

Close all currently running UCST programs!
Start (UCST program group) the UCST Com IF Manager and install/uninstall with the tool
RAS modem (network) connections
Modems
as required and available.
Confirm your selection via [Apply] and close the UCST Com IF Manager.
Use the UCST for the commissioning of EAs and Management Networks with the Modems and RAS modem connections installed via
the UCST Com IF Manager.
The paragraphs below describe the details of the UCST Communication Interface Manager use.
You can start the UCST Com IF Manager (UCST Communication Interface
Manager) from the UCST R8A program folder or the UCST R8 start menu.

The UCST level parameters in the dialogue above show the default RAS
connections and modems installed in the UCST program.
Please note:
The Com IF manager is not able to read other than the "rasphone.pbk" phonebook. Accordingly, commissioning of the
UCST with the UCST Com IF manager is limited to the RAS
connections in the "rasphone.pbk".
When creating the EAs (Element Agents), you must match the
RAS modem connection (= EA Interface) with the appropriate
modem (= EA Modem Device).
To install new modems and RAS connections with the UCST Com IF Manager proceed as follows:
Select in
Available NCs

Remote Permanent:
This access type links your PC/computer (UCST) via modem to a
UMUX 1500/1200/900 that provides the gateway function to the IP
network.
From this gateway UMUX, you can access any type of UMUX NE via
an IP network (LAN, WAN, Intranet etc.). The gateway UMUX is dialled up when the corresponding Element Agent is started.
The dialup number is saved with the RAS settings.

Passwords and user classes

Overview passwords
The UCST offers a multi-level protection against unauthorised access.

Passwords protect both the EM and the NE.
The UCST provides three groups of passwords:
User Classes passwords (4)
The UCST provides 4 groups with different access rights, each group is
protected with an individual password. The passwords allow the access
to certain functions of the UMUX system, while blocking the access to
other functions.
System Access passwords (1 per NE/system)
Customer Identifier (1 per installed UCST)
With the UCST R8, the Customer Identifier is optional and set via the
'Customer Identifier Setup' utility.
The definition of a Customer Identifier is not generally recommended
since the Customer Id is a critical parameter for proper management
communication!
In total the UCST can use up to six passwords, each composed of letters
and/or numbers. Upon installation of the UCST software, the UCST has all
the passwords set to blank.
User classes
You can select between four User Classes, each of which defines a certain
profile of rights for operation and maintenance. The User Classes are:
Class 1:
System Manager
Class 2:
System Maintenance
Class 3: .
System Planner
Class 4:
System Informations
The user classes allow you to control the management access and to assign
functional responsibilities. An additional asset of the user classes is the protection of the NEs and the network from unintentional interventions, which
might create disturbances and service interruptions. Depending on the User
Class, the access to some of the menus is not possible or restricted.

4-1
KEYMILE AG
You can assign passwords for User Classes with the UCST set-up program,
the UCST Customer Identifier set-up utility and via the UCST menu Sys
Admin. Only the System Manager can assign and change passwords.
System manager
(User Class 1)
The User Class System Manager authorises you to control all the functions
of the UCST and gives you all the access rights available with the UCST,
including administrative rights. You need the password of the System Manager whenever you want to re-assign or change a password.

Customer Identifier (if defined) in a safe place, accessible to system managers only.
System maintenance
(user class 2)
The User Class System Maintenance has the same rights as the User
Class System Manager except for the administrative rights (of UCST). The
System Manager can configure and access the NE and perform diagnostic
functions.
System planner
(user class 3)
The User Class System Planner can create or modify configurations for
NEs but only on the level of the EM. The System Planner can load and save
configurations from and to the file system of the PC/computer. The System
Planner has no rights to up- or download configurations to the NE or to perform diagnostic functions.
System information
(user class 4)
The User Class System Informations defines the actual system operator.
The System Operator has no rights for active configuration but can perform
diagnostic functions and gather system information. This includes the upload
of configurations, the inquiry of fault lists, logbook and printing.
The User Class System Information does not allow you to save or create
new configuration files.
Password for system access
The password for System Access protects the access to the NE individually
per NE (system) and allows you to control the access to NEs with common
management. The System Access Password belongs to the UCST menu
Management Network.
the password for System Access.
The System Access Password is unique for each NE and thus a part of the
configuration of the NE, while the Customer Identifier protects the access of
the UCST installation to the NE in the background and remains invisible to
you.

KEYMILE AG
The following flow charts provide an overview of the assignment of passwords and the corresponding check mechanisms for both the UCST installation and EM software.
The first flow chart shows the assignment of passwords with the UCST installation utility.
Please note that the Customer Identifier set-up utility also provides
the section for the User Class password definition.

KEYMILE AG
Backup procedures
UCST program files
You should store the original CD-ROM with the UCST program files in a safe
place. This provides a safe backup of the program files and allows you new
program installations. Since the UCST requires only a little commissioning
(UCST files, Customer Id, Passwords) and the customer data files are preserved when uninstalling the UCST, you can reinstall the UCST if required.
Unless instructed by KEYMILE, you should not modify the ucst.ini file and
thus normally no backup of the ucst.ini file is required. If for any reason your
ucst.ini file has been customised after the installation of the UCST, you
should create a backup of the ucst.ini file however.
Do not modify the ucst.ini unless instructed by KEYMILE!
Unpredictable system behaviour might result.
As previously advised, you should store all passwords (especially the Customer Identifier and System Manager) and details of your installation in a
safe place. The access to this information is normally restricted to the system manager.
Embedded SW
You should store the original data carrier (CD-ROM) with the ESW (Embedded Software) files in a safe place.
Since the ESW is a centrally stored program code common for all operated
NEs (UMUX 1500/1200/900 only), you normally find ESW from several data
carriers in the directory FW. You should create a backup of the complete FW
directory in your UCST installation. This provides a safe backup of the ESW
files and allows you a quick recovery if needed. To backup the FW directory
you can proceed the same way as described in the paragraphs on the
backup of configuration data.
Configuration data
The configuration data files for the UMUX and DSL systems are typical examples of application created data. The configuration data is automatically
stored in the NE as soon as it is downloaded to the NE.
You should store the configuration at the same time as a configuration file
(extension *.cfg) on a storage device of your PC/computer. The UCST installation utility creates the CFG default directory for configuration data. For
your convenience you should further segment this directory according to
your network structure and/or management domains and store the configuration files produced per NE accordingly.
Although it is normally possible to recover the configuration data from the
NEs, you should systematically create a backup of all configuration data on
a safe medium. You should backup the configuration data periodically and
after important modifications of the configurations.
If you operate your EM as a host of a data communication network, you can
store copies of the configuration files on a server and benefit from the
backup procedure of the server.
4-10
KEYMILE AG
Loss of configuration data can be fatal if your network requires an

urgent recovery with configuration data!
Your resources can be non-productive for a long time if you have
to re-create systematically the configuration of multiple NEs. Reconfiguring and re-testing a network requires a long down time for
the affected services.
It is highly recommended that you store the configuration data in a safe
place, as soon as you create important and/or complex configuration data.

The serial communication with the UMUX 1500/1200/900 requires the installation of dedicated RAS modems for the DUN. The UCST installation utility
installs modems for all types of serial management communication interfaces that are available with the UMUX 1500/1200/900.
The RAS modems are interface programs which adapt application program
specific communications to the PC serial interface(s). For operation, the
RAS modems must be connected to the RAS / DUN.
Provided that the corresponding selection box in the Installation options
UCST dialogue has been tagged, the UCST installation utility will automatically
Add the UCST RAS modems to the list of modems. However, the modems are not automatically installed and must be manually installed (access via Control Panel Phone and Modem Options Modems Add

Commission the UCST Network and Dial-Up Connections and Phonebook entries.
The UCST installation utility adds the UCST RAS modems (each modem
corresponding to a RAS connection) to the list of modems and creates an
entry in the corresponding UCST RAS modems Phonebook. You must install the modems on your PC/computer.

Application notes Windows 2000
More than one modem on the The commissioning of modems on the OS level can provoke a problem as
same communication port
follows:
After their installation (OS and UCST level), the UCST RAS connections
work properly i.e. "RAS direct via F" is working fine.
You add a new modem (e.g. "US Robotics 56 FAX EXT") to the OS on
the same COM port as the "UCST RAS direct on F" uses (e.g. COM 1)
If you want to up-/download data via "UCST RAS direct on F" you get one
of the following error messages:
Error 692: There was a hardware failure in the modem (or other
connecting device).
Error 633: The modem (or other connecting device) is already in use
or is not configured properly.
This issue has its origin in a known limitation of Windows 2000 (and XP
Professional) which is described in the "Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 312783":
RAS Uses Modem Settings of the Last Modem Installed When Two
or More Modems Use the Same Serial Port
This article was previously published under Q312783
SYMPTOMS
When two or more modems are configured to use the same serial
COM port, RAS always uses the modem settings of the last modem
you installed.
RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, delete all of the modems you do not
use, and leave only the one modem that is physically connected to
your computer.
STATUS
This behaviour is by design.
The information in this article applies to:
Microsoft Windows 2000 Server SP1
In other words: The last installed modem always takes precedence over all
other installed modems using the same COM port.
When adding more than 1 modem to a serial communication port
(Windows 2000, XP Professional and Server 2003) the UCST
RAS connection on that port may not work anymore!
To avoid the problem do not assign any
modem to a resource (COM port) which is already assigned to
a UCST RAS connection.
A-39
Appendix A
KEYMILE AG
UCST RAS connection to a resource (COM port) which is already assigned to some other RAS connection.
If the problem appears, reinstall the modem that you really want to
use (so that this modem is the last modem installed).
To bypass a possible lack of serial COM port resources you can use RS232
USB converters that support the connection of several serial modems via
USB ports. Such converters assign several COM<X> ports to the attached
USB port. This set-up is fully compatible with the UCST.
For details, refer to the RS232 - USB converter manual.
Second entry for the same
modem
Windows 2000 Professional heavily relies on auto-detection. This feature

creates resource problems for manually added modems:
You manually add (by omitting the auto-detection) an external (dial-up)
modem (<name>) and a corresponding RAS connection (e.g. for UCST
use).
The next time you start your PC, Windows 2000 Professional detects
the "new" hardware (modem) and asks to add this modem to the modem
list.
There is no new entry added, but the existing manual entry is modified
(<name> modified) according to the auto-detection mechanism.
Your RAS connection may not work anymore, because Windows
has assigned some other modem to your RAS connection!
You can re-establish the function of the RAS connection by manually assigning the modem (<name> eventually modified) back to the RAS connection.
A-40
Appendix A
IP header compression and

RAS network connections
KEYMILE AG
Commissioning of the RAS network connections for UCST management

communication via modems requires among other the commissioning of the
"IP header compression" parameter in the "PPP TCP/IP Settings" dialogues
(refer to the picture below).
Figure A-42:
TCP/IP Settings sample dialogue
Since the COBUX supports IP header compression this parameter is normally activated. For details of the impact of this parameter with Windows
2000, Microsoft provides help text as follows (original text):
"Specifies whether Van Jacobson (VJ) TCP/IP packet header compression is used. VJ compression is a protocol optimization widely supported
in dial-up implementations. If disabled, an attempt is made to detect
compressed packets and, if found, VJ compression mode starts automatically. This gives the best chance of a successful connection and, in
most cases, the best performance available.
In some cases, where both ends are attempting to detect compression,
compression might not be activated. If you are certain that the remote
access server supports VJ compression, select this check box to activate
compression and improve performance. You can verify that compression
is occurring by monitoring the compression information on the General
tab of the Status dialog box for the connection.
If this check box is selected and the remote access server does not support VJ compression, inbound traffic continues normally but outbound
traffic does not succeed. Because most applications require communication in both directions, the session usually appears stopped."

The following paragraphs provide details for each of the steps.

Installing the UCST
Install the UCST. For detailed instructions, refer to the paragraphs "Installing
the UCST the first time" in this chapter.
The serial communication with the UMUX 1500/1200/900 requires the installation of dedicated RAS modems for the DUN. The UCST installation utility
installs modems for all types of serial management communication interfaces that are available with the UMUX 1500/1200/900.
The RAS modems are interface programs, which adapt application program
specific communications to the PC serial interface(s). For operation, the
RAS modems must be connected to the RAS / DUN.
Provided that the corresponding selection box in the Installation options
UCST dialogue has been tagged, the UCST installation utility will automatically
Add the UCST RAS modems to the list of modems. However, the modems are not automatically installed and must be manually installed (access via Control Panel Phone and Modem Options Modems Add

Commission the UCST Network Connections and Phonebook entries.
The UCST installation utility adds the UCST RAS modems (each modem
corresponding to a RAS connection) to the list of modems and creates an

The UCST Dial-Up Connections control the communication procedures

(dialling, protocols, and addressing).
The installation of the UCST Dial-Up Connections initialises the corresponding parameters and installs the UCST RAS modems Phonebook. The DialUp Connections parameters normally require no changes except for the adaptation of the Element Manager's IP-address and the transmission speed
for the serial communication.
The parameters of the UCST Dial-Up Connections are alternately accessible
via the
menu Control panel Network Connections
Ucstras.pbk Phonebook.
The Ucstras.pbk file is the phonebook for the UCST RAS modems. The
UCST installation utility writes this file to the appropriate directory while
installing the UCST. The standard path for this phonebook is:
C:\<Windows directory>\system32\ras\Ucstras.pbk
Since the Phonebook defines the complete set of dialling parameters and
dialling procedures it is easier to change the Dial-Up parameters via the Network Connections dialogues.
Do not change parameters unless instructed. The UCST installation utility has properly set up the modems and phonebook for their
corresponding RAS (interfaces).
The UCST installation utility initialises the UCST Dial-Up Connections automatically with default IP addresses.
You do not need to change these addresses to connect your

same communication port
follows:
After their installation (OS and UCST level), the UCST RAS connections
work properly i.e. "RAS direct via F" is working fine.
You add a new modem (e.g. "US Robotics 56 FAX EXT") to the OS on
the same COM port as the "UCST RAS direct on F" uses (e.g. COM 1)
If you want to up-/download data via "UCST RAS direct on F" you get one
of the following error messages:
Error 692: There was a hardware failure in the modem (or other connecting device).
Error 633: The modem (or other connecting device) is already in use
or is not configured properly.
This issue has its origin in a known limitation of Windows XP Professional
(and W2000) which is described in the "Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 312783":
A-76
Appendix A
KEYMILE AG
RAS Uses Modem Settings of the Last Modem Installed When Two
or More Modems Use the Same Serial Port
This article was previously published under Q312783
SYMPTOMS
When two or more modems are configured to use the same serial
COM port, RAS always uses the modem settings of the last modem
you installed.
RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, delete all of the modems you do not
use, and leave only the one modem that is physically connected to
your computer.
STATUS
This behaviour is by design.
The information in this article applies to:
In other words: The last installed modem always takes precedence over all
other installed modems using the same COM port.
When adding more than 1 modem to a serial communication port
(Windows 2000, XP Professional and Server 2003) the UCST
RAS connection on that port may not work anymore!
To avoid the problem do not assign any
modem to a resource (COM port) which is already assigned to
a UCST RAS connection.
UCST RAS connection to a resource (COM port) which is already assigned to some other RAS connection.
If the problem appears, reinstall the modem that you really want to
use (so that this modem is the last modem installed).
To bypass a possible lack of serial COM port resources you can use RS232
USB converters that support the connection of several serial modems via
USB ports. Such converters assign several COM<X> ports to the attached
USB port. This set-up is fully compatible with the UCST.
For details, refer to the RS232 - USB converter manual.
Second entry for the same
modem
Windows XP Professional heavily relies on auto-detection. This feature

creates double registration of manually added modems:
You manually (by omitting the auto-detection) add an external (dial-up)
modem (<name>) and a corresponding RAS connection (e.g. for UCST
use).
The next time you start your PC, Windows XP Professional detects the
"new" hardware (modem) and adds a corresponding entry to the modem
list with the index "<name> #2" (refer to the dialogue below).
A-77
Appendix A
KEYMILE AG
Figure A-83:
Result of Windows "Auto-detection mechanism" sample

dialogue
Do not delete the second modem entry (<name> "#2") in the modem list!
If you remove this modem your RAS connection for the original
modem (<name>) does not work anymore.
You can re-establish the connection by deleting both entries from the list and
adding the modem afterwards again.

IP header compression and

RAS network connections
KEYMILE AG
Commissioning of the RAS network connections for UCST management

communication via modems requires among other the commissioning of the
"IP header compression" parameter in the "PPP TCP/IP Settings" dialogues
(refer to the picture below).
Figure A-84:
TCP/IP Settings sample dialogue
Since the COBUX supports IP header compression this parameter is normally activated. For details of the impact of this parameter with Windows
XP Professional, Microsoft provides help text as follows (original text):
"Specifies whether Van Jacobson (VJ) TCP/IP packet header compression is used. VJ compression is a protocol optimization widely supported
in dial-up implementations. If disabled, an attempt is made to detect compressed packets and, if found, VJ compression mode starts automatically. This gives the best chance of a successful connection and, in most
cases, the best performance available.
In some cases, where both ends are attempting to detect compression,
compression might not be activated. If you are certain that the remote
access server supports VJ compression, select this check box to activate
compression and improve performance. You can verify that compression
is occurring by monitoring the compression information on the General
tab of the Status dialog box for the connection.
If this check box is selected and the remote access server does not support VJ compression, inbound traffic continues normally but outbound
traffic does not succeed. Because most applications require communication in both directions, the session usually appears stopped."

Methods and principles
The UCST Element Agents read the information of available modems and
RAS connections from the "Communication" section in the ucst.ini file .To
allow the UCST Element Agent (Remote Permanent or Modem Point-toPoint) to use new modems, corresponding information must be added to the
ucst.ini file. There are 2 methods to modify or add network connection parameters in the ucst.ini file:
Via UCST Communication Interface Manager
This tool allows you to install modems and RAS connections for the
UCST Element Agents and is available for UCST versions UCST R6B.
For details of this tool, refer to the paragraphs "Commissioning for modems" in chapter 3: "Installation & Commissioning Procedures for UCST".
Manually via editing the ucst.ini file (exceptionally only)
Direct editing of the ucst.ini file is only required if the UCST Com IF manager (UCST Communication Interface Manager) is not available.
The paragraphs below provide a detailed description of the manual commissioning procedures required to add the name of your modem and
the corresponding RAS Modem Connection to the ucst.ini file.
Manual application
To manually add the modem information to your ucst.ini file proceed as

follows:
1
Close all currently running UCST programs!
Open an explorer window and select the ucst.ini file in the parent directory with your UCST (This is the directory that you have specified
for the installation of the UCST).
Double click the ucst.ini file. This opens the Windows notepad with
the ucst.ini.
Do not forget to close all running UCST programs before you
start the configuration of the ucst.ini file!
Do not start the UCST before you have saved and closed the
editing of the ucst.ini file!
Closing the UCST afterwards overwrites your changes in the
ucst.ini file.

ucst.ini communication parameters sample
The ->A and ->B pointers mark the insertion points for your RAS
Connection and Modem names in the communication parameters sequence of the ucst.ini file:
->A
for Remote Permanent connections
->B
for Modem Point-to-Point connections
Please note that:

The ->A and ->B pointers do not exist in your real ucst.ini file!
The pointers are inserted for demonstration only!
Depending on the current release of your UCST the ucst.ini file
may contain additional information on the entries for RAS and
modems.
The connection and modem names (e.g. <MyA1Connection>,
<MyA1modem>) must literally match the corresponding names
of your RAS Modem Connection and modem!
You find the corresponding connection names in the
Network and Dial-Up Connection folder under Control Panel
for Windows 2000.
7
Insert the names of your RAS interface and modem at the ->A and/or
->B insertion points as instructed below:
->A
Remote Permanent connections

For Remote Permanent connections, you must specify the name of
the RAS Modem Connection and the name of the Modem.
The ucst.ini file already contains the 2 entries for the UMUX
1500/1200/900 remote permanent connection:
- UCST RAS direct on F
- F, via standard a null modem
(Refer to the two lines on the top of the list which is shown in the figure above).
Add literally the terms shown below with the names of
your modem connection: <MyA1Connection>
your modem: <MyA1modem>
C-3
Appendix C
KEYMILE AG
at the insertion points ->A:

->A1 WinRemotePermanentNiName1=<MyA1Connection>
WinRemotePermanentNiModemName1=<MyA1modem>
If you want you can add more than one set of connection and modem:
->A2 WinRemotePermanentNiName2=<MyA2Connection>
WinRemotePermanentNiModemName2=<MyA2modem>
->A3
Number new entries consecutively as you add them. Although not recommended, the RAS Modem Connection name and the modem name
can have different numbers. You associate the RAS Modem Connection and the modem when you add and configure the Element Agent
in the Management Network (UCST).
->B
Modem Point-to-Point connections

For Modem Point-to-Point connections, you must specify the name of
the modems. The specification of the RAS Connection names is only
mandatory if you want to access UMUX 1500/1200/900. It is optional
for the access of all other NEs.
Add literally the terms shown below and the names of
your modem connection <MyB0Connection> and
your modem <MyB0modem>
at the insertion points ->B (The ucst.ini file already contains 2 prepared entries for the B0 connection/modem, just add the names):
->B0 WinModemPtPNiName0=<MyB0Connection>
WinModemPtPNiModemName0=<MyB0modem>
If you want you can add more than one set of connection and modem:
->B1 WinModemPtPNiName1=<MyB1Connection>
WinModemPtPNiModemName1=<MyB1modem>
->B2
The RAS Modem Connection is mandatory for the UMUX
1500/1200/900 but optional for the UMUX 1100(E)/1300 and the DSL
System.
Number new entries consecutively as you add them. Although not recommended, the RAS name and the modem name can have different
numbers. You associate the modem and RAS when you add and configure the Element Agent in the Management Network (UCST).
The ucst.ini file contains sensitive data!
Careless modification of the data can cause system crashes!
Do not delete, add or modify other data in the ucst.ini file than
the modifications given above!
C-4
Appendix C
KEYMILE AG
Copy the terms for the new connection and modem names exactly as described in the ucst.ini file, e.g.:
WinRemotePermanentNiName<name>
WinModemPtPNiName<name>
WinRemotePermanentNiModemName<name>
WinModemPtPNiModemName<name>
Save the edited file as ucst.ini via the File Save As in the UCST
directory.
You can now start your UCST and configure Management Networks with
your new modems and RAS interfaces (as described in chapter 3 of [401]).
If the UCST does not work properly anymore restore the backup
of the original ucst.ini file and check your modifications in the
ucst.ini file.

Considerations for the handling of phonebooks and RAS connections

(Windows 2000, XP Professional, Server 2003) while updating UCST
UCST versions and use of
phonebooks
Up to the UCST R6B, the UCST created its phonebook (ucstras.pbk) in

"<drive>:\WINDOWS\system32\ras".
Windows 2000 and XP Professional consider new phonebook entries via
the "Network Connections" dialogue only under "Documents and Settings
".in the user profiles of "All Users" and of the logged in user ("Anyone's
use", "My use only").
Thus, if new connections have been created this way, previous UCST versions (< UCST R6B SP01) running on Windows 2000 and XP Professional
were not able to find these entries, since they were not resident in the ucstras.pbk phonebook, even if visible in the "Network Connections" dialogue.
Recent UCST versions (>R6B) create their phonebook (rasphone.pbk) in
the user profiles under "<drive>:\Documents and Settings All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Connections\
Pbk\rasphone.pbk". This allows the UCST to directly read new RAS connections created via the "Network Connections" dialogue in Windows 2000
and XP Professional.
This circumstances may lead to confusion and loss of commissioned UCST
RAS connections when upgrading previous UCST versions (< UCST R6B
SP01) running on Windows 2000 and XP Professional to UCST R8 versions.
The ucstras.pbk is used with all UCST versions < R6B (however
it is also created with the UCST R7 and R8 but not used). This
phonebook is common for all UCST installations on the PC.
Any installation of the UCST overwrites the current ucstras.pbk
and leads to loss of commissioned UCST communication interfaces if not saved prior to the installation of a new UCST!
Recovering entries from

ucstras.pbk
The method as described below allows recovering data from the ucstras.pbk phonebook in "<drive>:\WINDOWS\system32\ras".
Recovering must be accomplished before you install the (new) UCST (refer
to the note above) or from a up-to-date backup of the ucstras.pbk phonebook:
Navigate to and open with the text editor the" ucstras.pbk" in
"<drive>:\WINDOWS\system32\ras".
Open "ucstras.pbk" with a text editor and look for the section which contains the RAS connection that you want to move (section begins with
RAS name in [ ]).
Copy this entire section (next entry begins with its name enclosed in [ ])
into the clipboard and close the file.
Navigate to
"<drive>:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\
Microsoft\Network\Connections\Pbk\rasphone.pbk".
Append the content of the clipboard to the end of the file (paste).
Save the file
C-6
Appendix C
KEYMILE AG
Update ucst.ini (required for dial-up connections) with the UCST Communication Interface Manager (or as described in appendix C.1) if required.
You can use the RAS connection as described in the UCST manuals.
The figure below shows an example of the sequence start of the phonebook
entry for [UCST RAS on F via Sifox].

Substitute for UCST RAS modem connections

Principles
In some cases it might be appropriate to bypass the UCST built-in RAS connection facilities (Remote Permanent, Modem Point-to-Point) and to invoke
modem connections directly on the OS level.
With this method - applicable for the UMUX 1500/1200/900 - the
Commissioning and operation of the modem and its RAS modem connection is limited to the operating system (Windows ).
The responsibility for the control and management of the corresponding
remote access fully lies with the user (and the OS respectively). In particular, it is the user's responsibility to establish the connection and release the (dial-up) connection if it is no longer used.
UCST uses a standard "Permanent" access type EA (Element Agent) to
connect to the remote UMUX.
There is no commissioning of the UCST for modems and RAS modem
connections required.
Configuration
A manually controlled remote access via the OS affects some of the commissioning for modems / RAS modem connections and UCST EAs (Element
Agents):
In the UCST you must create a Management Network with a "Permanent" access type EA and the managed (remote) NE in the same LAN.
Figure C-5: Sample of a corresponding Management Network
If the LAN address (IP host address) of your remote NE is e.g. 10.1.2.1,
you create a "Permanent" access type EA which has e.g. the IP address
(Manager Id) 10.1.2.200.
C-8
Appendix C
KEYMILE AG
Figure C-6: Sample of a corresponding EA
Commission the remote modem as described in the paragraphs "Remote

modem for UMUX 1500/1200/900" in this manual.
Please note, that the remote modem must be configured for the appropriate speed!
Commission the local modem as described in the paragraphs "Local modem" in this manual.
Commission the RAS modem (network) connection for your local (dialup) modem as described in "RAS modem connections" in this manual.
Additionally, you must specify/adapt
the correct dial-up number of the remote modem in the RAS modem
(network) connection.
under the RAS modem connection "Networking" parameters the IP
address of the "Permanent" access type EA (e.g. 10.1.2.200) which
manages your remote NE.
C-9
Appendix C
KEYMILE AG
Figure C-7: Sample of the corresponding RAS "Networking" parameters
Connection
The connection to the remote NE is established as follows:

Manually dial-up the RAS connection (via the OS level "Network Connections" dialogue).
You must get a corresponding communication confirmation dialogue
(which normally shows the speed of the connection).
In the UCST start the "Permanent" access type EA which manages the
remote NE (don't forget to get it running!) and connect to the remote NE.
Now you can up- /download data from/to the remote NE via the previously established RAS connection.
Release the (dial-up) connection (via the OS level "Network Connections") if
no longer used.
