Click “OK” and a window opens, where you can add the licenses that were purchased for your
TNMS. For a working NCT installation, you will need the basic license, a feature license for each
multiplexer type, and a network element license for each multiplexer that shall be managed from
TNMS.

Enabling Alarms
By default, Alarms are disabled. In order to enable alarms on the hiT, select <Fault->Alarm Inhibit
Configuration> and remove the marker from the first check box. If needed, you can inhibit alarms
for specific cards or ports.

Clock Synchronization
Proper clock synchronization is mandatory for SDH systems. You need at least one external clock
source (PRC) for your network. In case you don't have one, you might consider taking the clock
from a PDH signal. By default, the hiT70xx uses the internal oscillator in free running mode. To
make the multiplexer using an external timing source, you have to add one in <Configuration-
>Synchronization Management>.
© 2010 Siemens AG 44
Surpass hiT 7025 and 7060 Commissioning Guide
Hover the mouse over the port that you want to use as clock source and select “Add” in the context
menu.
© 2010 Siemens AG 45
Surpass hiT 7025 and 7060 Commissioning Guide
Once a clock source is defined, you can change some parameters. Most important is the priority:
lower values outplay higher values. The hiT 70xx always selects the clock with the best quality, but
when several equal clocks are available, then the priority decides.

The hiT is still working in free running mode. Press the <System Clock> button in the
“Synchronization Management” dialog, choose “AutoSelection” and activate this new setting by
pressing “Set Mode”.

Protection
The hiT offers different methods of protection: hardware protection and path protection. If you have
e.g. a second cross connector card for hardware protection, the active one is identified by the “ACT”
LED. You can manually switch the active card by selecting <Configure->CC 1+1 Protection>. When
you select “Manual Switch” and the selected card becomes faulty, the multiplexer will still switch
over to the other card. However, when you select “Forced Switch”, the automatic switchover is
deactivated.

Another method is MS-SPRing (Multiplexer Section Shared Protection Ring). MS-SPRing allows to
use the bandwidth, that is used for protection, for traffic as well, as long as to protection is active.
To set up MS-SPRing, select <Configuration->MS-SPRing Management> and press the “Create”
button.
Enter a name for the new ring, enter the number of network elements in the protected ring and click
“OK”.
