OMN 1. LCT OPERATION
1 LCT OPERATION
1.1 OVERVIEW OF LCT

LCT is a universal version of LCT which can be used as a centralized
baseline to develop LCT applications for SDH NEs.
LCT supports your provisioning and monitoring tasks by allowing you to:
• Control security
• Monitor the NE shelf condition
• Provision parameters
• Accumulate and report a variety of data
• Troubleshoot command logs if problems arise
LCT provides you with a pop-up representation of the shelf layout
diagram for each NE. This diagram, called the shelf picture, shows the
equipment configurations implemented by combinations of plug-in units.
You can view unit information or provision units by selecting the unit(s)
and choosing a LCT menu command.
1.1.1 Access to Network Elements
Connecting LCT to any network element (NE) in an SRT 1F network

enables LCT to access all NEs in the network. This connection can be
direct, using an RS-232 cable between the LCT terminal and the LCT, or
it can be remote, via a modem link or packet switched network (PSN).
LCT allows concurrent logon to up to three NEs. If the network includes
several NE types, the user’s PC must include the LCT software for each
system type to enable logon to each NE.
1.1.2 User-friendly Interface
LCT is designed with the user in mind. All LCT products have a uniform
“look and feel.” Color graphics provide detailed visual information, and
the software features point-and-click mouse control.
Upon logon to an NE, LCT automatically queries the NE for an inventory
of its resources and then translates this inventory into a shelf layout
display on the computer screen. This display simulates the view of the
SRT 1F shelf. The screen also displays alarm and status information.
The on-line help feature provides additional information about
commands and procedures.
1.1.3 Enhanced Graphics
LCT’s enhanced shelf layout graphics provide a three-dimensional

representation of the shelf. In operating mode, the units appear to
protrude from the shelf. During provisioning activities, the units appear
recessed when selected by a user.
SRT 1F
911-362/02A Issue 1, May 2002 1-1
1. LCT OPERATION OMN
1.1.4 Status and Performance Monitoring
Complete alarm, status, physical inventory, performance monitoring

(PM), and provisioning information is available in information windows
such as log and report windows. PM data is summarized and stored in
15-minute intervals as well as in a scrolling 24-hour history window. This
information is available for each unit on a particular NE shelf and can be
retrieved from the NE on demand using LCT. When a user is logged on
to an NE, a summary of NE alarms or status information appears on the
LCT screen.
1.1.5 Provisioning
Provisioning for all units, service states, synchronization, and other

features can be performed locally for any NE that is accessed by LCT.
The protection switching threshold and PM parameters can also be set
with LCT.
1.1.6 Security Levels
LCT provides a security system to prevent unauthorized access. To

access an NE, a user must enter an assigned user name and password.
In addition, each user is assigned an appropriate privilege level. This
security assignment gives users access to only the specific operations
necessary to accomplish their tasks.
User privileges are assigned by a system manager. The system
manager can add users, delete users, and change user privilege levels.
Note: For details, refer to Chapter 1.5, NETWORK ELEMENT
MANAGEMENT.
1.1.7 Command Logs
The LCT command logs provide a record of all commands sent from
LCT and the responses from the NE. Each message is tagged with the
date and time. This information can be printed and filed, simplifying
record keeping, troubleshooting, and network administration.
1.1.8 TL1 Commands
TL1 commands and responses are used for all communication between
an NE and a local terminal. LCT translates selections made by a user
with the point-and-click interface into the equivalent TL1 command and
sends the command to the NE.
LCT then translates the response message from the NE into a graphical
representation on the PC screen.
1.1.9 Operating Conventions
This manual employs visual cues, standard text formats, and some
special terminology to help the reader locate and interpret information
easily, as explained here.

1.3.3.3 Menu Commands

As in all Windows applications, the menu options in LCT use certain
conventions to indicate that additional options or information follows.
Table 1-7 describes these conventions.
Table 1-7 - Windows menu conventions
Menu Convention Description
Dimmed command A dimmed command is not currently available.
Something has to be selected before the command
can be used, or the command cannot be used with
the application.
Ellipsis (...) An ellipsis after a command indicates that a dialog
box will appear when the command is chosen. The
dialog box provides additional information to carry out
the command.
√)
Check mark (√ A check mark next to a command indicates that the
command is active. This convention is used with
commands that toggle between one state and
another.
Key combination A key combination after a command is a shortcut for
the command. The key combination can be used to
choose the command without opening the menu.
Triangle A command followed by a triangle has a pull-down
menu that lists additional commands.
1.3.3.4 Platform Window

The main LCT window, displayed after the program loads, is divided into
the following three sub-windows:
• Global view
• Shelf view
• Output view
Before logon these sub-windows are empty. After logging on to an NE;
the 'Global View' lists the NE names and their types, the 'NE Window'
shows the shelf picture and the 'Output Window' lists all commands and
responses. An example post-logon window is shown in Figure 1.3.
SRT 1F
911-362/02A Issue 1, May 2002 1-11
Figure 1.3 - Platform Window

The Global view window and the Output view window are dockable
windows, that means the user can drag and drop windows where ever
she/he wants. This procedure is called Splitting window operation.
The procedure is very simple. Double-click on the window frame of a
docked window to change it to a floating state. In a floating state, you
can move the window to dock on any side of the application frame. You
can also move a floating window completely outside the main window to
the desktop itself.
User can also increase/decrease the size of the Global and output
window inside the main window by pointing the mouse on the solid bars
of these windows.

Performance of LCT:
Auto Report Handling
LCT handles all auto messages including both REPT-EVT and REPT-
ALM from NE. LCT will display up to 128K byte characters.
When LCT receives more than 1,024 such reports, LCT discards the
oldest reports first. Then LCT begins handling new reports.
Large response handling
The following commands are most likely to generate a large
(unhandleable) response from the NE:
a. Status/Control -> Shelf Condition -> Display Log Files
b. Status/Control -> Shelf Condition -> Display All Log Files
SRT 1F
911-362/02A Issue 1, May 2002 1-17
c. Status/Control -> Performance Monitoring -> Display PM Data

d. Status/Control -> Transaction Log
e. Provisioning -> Facility -> Set Alarm Attributes
In cases a, b, c, and e, LCT will display up to 1,000 lines. In case d,
LCT will display up to 128K byte characters.
LED Status:
The LED on each card can be in four colors: white, red, yellow, and

1.3.3.5 Dialog Boxes

Super Dialogs are created dynamically at run time and are used in most
of the operations after logon. Data validation, range checking, default
value, and field dependencies are handled in the Super dialogs. One
super dialog can have up to 128 fields.
Some fields have default values shown when the dialog comes up. Field
dependency is another feature of this platform. Some fields in a TL1
command have a range of values that are dependent on the values in
other fields. In a Super Dialog, when you click on a button, a check box
or a radio button inside Super Dialog Fields, a different set of values will
appear in other fields.
LCT uses dialog boxes to provide facility- and equipment-specific
options and request information from the user. Once you have entered
the necessary information in the dialog box, you usually activate the
command by clicking the OK button. Figure 1.11 shows typical dialog
boxes used in LCT.
SRT 1F
1-18 911-362/02A Issue 1, May 2002
Figure 1.11 - Sample dialog box
Text Boxes
A text box is a field where users can type information. Text boxes
appear in many dialog boxes.
Pull-Down Menu Buttons

Pull-down menu buttons appear in many dialog boxes. Selecting the
arrow at the right of an entry box displays a list of available choices. If
there are more choices than fit in the box, scroll bars are provided.
Check Boxes
Check boxes appear in dialog boxes to enable you to select individual or
multiple items. When a check box is toggled on, the box contains a √,
and the option associated with the box is selected. When the check box
is toggled off, the box is empty. You can select as many check boxes in
a dialog box as needed.
Option Buttons
Option buttons in a dialog box allow you to choose among a list of
mutually exclusive options. Only one option can be selected from the list
at a time. When an option is selected, a black dot appears in the circle
next to the option. Clicking a previously selected choice in a dialog box
deselects the option and removes the black dot from the circle.
Command Buttons
Command buttons (such as OK, Retrieve, and Cancel) appear in dialog
boxes. Some command buttons, such as Retrieve and Cancel, initiate
an action as soon as they are chosen. The OK button initiates a
command. Other command buttons ask you to select additional options.
The Cancel (or Close) command button closes the dialog box.

1.3.5 TL1 Batch Commands
You can send TL1 commands to an NE in two ways:

• You can use the LCT TL1 command interface to send commands
one at a time.
• You can create a batch file that sends the NE a list of commands to
be executed one after another.
LCT’s TL1 command interface makes entering the correct syntax and
parameters for commands easy. All you need to do to enter a command
is point and click. After logon to the NE, you can send commands to the
NE through the TL1 command interface.
A batch file allows you to send an entire set of TL1 commands created
using LCT’s TL1 command interface. The batch file automatically sends
one command after the other, in sequence; as soon as the NE finishes
processing one command, the next command is sent. Since the
commands are saved in a file, they can be used over and over to
perform the same task. The batch file can also be copied to multiple
systems for use by other people.
Batch files are sent through LCT’s TL1 command interface after logon to
an NE, but you can create batch files at any time, whether or not you are
logged on.
1.3.5.1 Creating a Batch File

To create batch command files using LCT’s TL1 command interface,
follow these steps:

1.3.6 On-line Help
On-line help provides information about LCT commands and procedures

as well as software version information. LCT’s Online Help feature
allows you to access information and procedures about menu options,
commands, and dialog boxes. The LCT Help menu allows you to learn
about LCT functions and procedures before logging on to an NE.
1.3.7 System Logon
LCT provides multiple system logon capabilities. You can log on to up to

three Nes with the LCT Logon command. This feature is helpful when
you need to monitor and access multiple NEs.
1.3.7.1 Storing NE ID Lists

LCT allows you to save a group of TIDs in a DOS file, so you do not
need to reenter the NE IDs when switching to a different PC or installing
a LCT upgrade. By storing several customized NE ID lists, you can
minimize the effort required to use a craft PC on several different
networks. The following paragraphs describe how to add an NE ID to a
file, delete an NE ID, save a group of NE IDs in a file, and open an NE
ID file.
1.3.7.2 Saving NE IDs in a File

You can store a group of related NE IDs in a common file. For example,
you can store all of the NE IDs for a data communication channel (DCC)
network in the same file. Follow these steps to create a group of NE IDs
and save the group in a file:
1. Choose Session -> Logon. The Logon dialog box shown in Figure
1.35 appears.
Figure 1.35 - Logon dialog box

2. Type the desired NE ID in the Enter NE ID text box, using 7 to 20
alphanumeric characters. Click Add NE TID to add the ID to the list.
SRT 1F

3. Repeat step 2 for additional NE IDs until the list contains all desired
NE IDs for the group. You can enter up to 100 NE IDs.
To delete an NE ID, select the unwanted NE ID in the list and then
click Delete NE TID.
To save the NE ID list, click Save. The NE ID list is saved in the
tid.log file unless a different file is specified.
To save the NE ID list using a different file name, click Save As. The
Save As dialog box shown in Figure 1.36 appears. Type the file
name for the group in the text box and then click Save. The file is
saved in the c:\Lct\Srt_1f\Release directory with a .log extension
unless another directory or extension is specified.

4. Click Close to close the Logon dialog box without logging on to the
NE.
1.3.7.3 Opening an NE ID File

Follow these steps to select and open an NE ID file:
1. Choose Session -> Logon. The Logon dialog box shown in Figure
1.37 appears. The title bar displays the name of the NE ID file.

1.3.7.5 Logging On to Multiple NEs

To log on to a second or third NE, simply repeat the previous logon
steps. As each new NE is logged on, its shelf picture appears on the
screen, and the previous picture disappears. To view a different logged
on NE, select the Window menu. The Window menu lists all logged
NEs, with a check mark beside the NE that is currently active.
Selecting another NE displays its shelf picture. Any LCT task you
perform applies only to the active NE.
1.3.8 Shelf Picture
Since the SRT 1F is configured with multiple shelves, LCT provides

several ways to view the shelves. Figure 1.43 represents the PC display
that results from logon to a single SRT 1F NE. LCT uses information
received from the NE to draw a picture of the NE with the various shelf
pictures “cascaded” on the screen, one for each shelf in the NE. As
each shelf is logged on, it appears on top of the stack.
Figure 1.43 - LCT Working Window

The shelf pictures are contained in separate windows within the NE
window. Since multiple NEs can be logged on, use the Window menu in
LCT’s menu bar to affect the NE windows. To affect the shelf pictures
within an NE, select the control menu box in the upper left corner of the
shelf picture.
Any actions performed in LCT, such as provisioning, affect the active
shelf. The active shelf is the one on top of all others, or the shelf with the
highlighted title bar. To activate a shelf, click on any visible portion of the
shelf. This moves it to the top and highlights the title bar. It is also
possible to activate the shelf by clicking on the control boxes of the
other shelves until the necessary shelf window appears, or choosing the
shelf’s name in the Window menu.
SRT 1F
1-42 911-362/02A Issue 1, May 2002
To size a shelf so that all of the card units and labels are visible, move
the cursor to the lower-right corner of the shelf picture. When the cursor
changes to a double-ended arrow, it may then be dragged with the
mouse to size the shelf picture.
A shelf picture can be maximized to fit in the workspace screen by
clicking on the shelf Maximize button (square) in the upper right corner
of the shelf’s window. Figure 1.44 shows the SCSU shelf maximized.

1.3.8.1 Understanding the Shelf Picture

The colors of plug-in units indicate whether a slot in the LCT shelf unit
cage is active, inactive, or vacant. When the performance state of a unit
changes, its color changes. Table 1-9 lists the colors used to indicate
unit status.
Table 1-9 - Unit Status

Color Unit Status
Dark blue Primary State = Out of service memory administration
(MA)
Dark yellow Primary state = In service (IS) or Null*
Secondary state = UNEQ
Light yellow Primary state = IS or MA or Null*
Secondary state = Mismount (MISM)
Gray Primary state = IS or Null*
Secondary state = Activated (ACT) or Standby
(STBY) or Null*
Purple Empty Slot
*Null means that the assigned unit is installed properly without

protection.
The three-dimensional appearance of the units also provides information
to the user. During normal operation, a unit appears to protrude, but
when a unit is the object of provisioning operations, it appears recessed.
SRT 1F
1-44 911-362/02A Issue 1, May 2002
The various colors of alarm indicators on the screen indicate the facility
or unit status. When the state of the unit changes, the color changes.
Table 1-10 lists the colors used to indicate the facility or unit status.
Table 1-10 - Colors of Alarm Indicators

You can exit an NE in either of three ways after a session is completed:

clicking the Close button, using the Log Off command, or using the Exit
command. The following sections describe the latter two methods.
1.3.11.1 Log Off

You can log off an NE automatically or you can manually force a logoff.
Auto Logoff
Users who are provisioned for the Auto Time Out option are
automatically logged off any NE when no LCT activity occurs for the
specified amount of time. The NE sends the message “REPT AUTO
LOGOFF” to LCT, which then deletes the shelf display for that NE.
Refer to par. Change User (1.5.2.3) for procedures for assigning the
Auto Time Out option to a user.
SRT 1F
1-48 911-362/02A Issue 1, May 2002
Manual Logoff
Any user can log off an NE at any time. You can use the logoff
procedure to exit from one or multiple NE sessions. You do not need to
log off one NE session to log on to another NE.
The craft and modem ports on the NE share a common universal
asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART). LCT automatically sends a
CTRL-C character as its final transmission. The communication port (the
RS-232 serial port) is then released and ready for the next user.
Follow these steps to manually log off an NE:
1. Choose Session -> Logoff. The Log Off confirmation message
Figure 1.51 - Log Off confirmation confirmation message

2. Click OK. The LCT main menu appears, or the previous session
screen appears if you are logged on to multiple NEs.
Forced Logoff
When a user is canceled by another user, it sends the message “REPT
FRCD LOGOFF” to LCT. The message is displayed in the output
window.
1.3.11.2 Exit
The Exit command allows you to Exit from the LCT application. Follow
these steps:
1. Choose File -> Exit. The Exit confirmation message shown in Figure
1.52 appears.

1.4 TL1 COMMANDS

LCT allows you to generate and send Transaction Language 1 (TL1)
commands. You can generate and send commands individually or in a
batch file. Once you are logged on to the NE, you can choose one of
two ways to send TL1 commands to an NE:
• Through a VT100 ASCII terminal
• By using the LCT TL1 command mode
This chapter explains how to use LCT’s TL1 command interface to send
commands and batch files to an NE.
1.4.1 LCT TL1 Command Interface
LCT’s TL1 command interface makes entering the correct syntax and
parameters for commands easy. All you need to do to enter a command
is point and click. After logging on to the NE, you can send commands
to the NE through the TL1 command interface. You can send
commands one at a time, or you can send a batch file containing
multiple TL1 commands.
1.4.2 Generating Individual TL1 Commands
To generate individual TL1 commands, do the following:

1. Choose TL1 -> TL1 Commands. The TL1 Commands dialog box
appears.

2. Select a command from the TL1 Commands pull-down list.

3. Click Save As to save the commands.
1.4.5 Sending a TL1 Command Batch File
You can use a batch file to send an entire set of TL1 commands all at
once. The batch file automatically sends one command after the other,
in sequence. As soon as the NE finishes processing one command, the
next one is sent. Since the commands are saved in a file, they can be
used over and over to perform the same tasks. The batch files can also
be copied to multiple systems for use by other people.
Batch files are sent through LCT’s TL1 command interface after logon to
an NE. You can create batch files at any time, whether or not you are
logged on.
Note: For information on editing batch files, refer to par.1.3.5 TL1 Batch
Commands.
Follow these steps to send a batch file:
1. Click Open. Double-click the desired file name in the TL1 Batch

1.5 NETWORK ELEMENT MANAGEMENT

All network elements (NEs) provide a strong security system to prevent
unauthorized access. This section describes the levels of security
employed and the administration of the security system.
1.5.1 Level of Security
To access any NE, a user must have the appropriate privilege level.
Access to NE functions and features is assigned by the system
manager. This security assignment gives users access only to the
specific operations they need to use. User privileges are assigned for
each NE and are verified by each NE when a user logs on. Table 1-11
lists the five levels of security privileges.
Table 1-11 - Levels of security

Level Name Description
1 Casual user User has access to all retrieve commands:
for example, to retrieve alarms.
2 Maintenance user User has access to retrieve commands and to
control commands: for example, to perform
protection switching and loopback control.
3 Provisioning user User has access to retrieve, control, and
provisioning commands.
4 System operator User has access to all commands except
security commands.
5 System manager User has access to all commands.
1.5.2 System Administration
LCT makes it easy for the system manager to add users, delete users,
and change privilege levels. These administrative functions are
performed from the Administration menu, which provides the following
commands:
• Add User
• Delete User
• Change User
• Change Logged User Password
