3.1 About This Chapter
This chapter describes the O&M networking mode and the procedure to set each
networking device.
3.2 System Networking
3.2.1 Overview of Networking
The M2000 system communicates with NEs through the TCP/IP protocol. The
physical layer can use the partial or whole E1/T1, or the DDN/X.25 mode to transmit
data.
The M2000 supports two networking modes: local area network (LAN) and wide area
network (WAN). The networking plan depends on the geographical location of NEs
and user requirements. Use the LAN when all the NEs are located in the same
network segment. Otherwise, use the WAN.
3.2.2 LAN Networking
I. Networking Diagram
For the LAN networking, the M2000 can connect NEs in both star and bus networking
modes.
Use the star networking to connect all NEs in the LAN to the M2000 through a LAN
Switch or concentrator, as shown in Figure 1-2.

network devices such as the router.
II. Commissioning Procedure
Table 1-1 shows the commissioning procedure for the LAN networking.

1Use network cables to connect the M2000 server, clients and various NEs
to LAN switch A in the public network.
2Connect devices in the M2000 server system (including the disk array, local
console and SC) to LAN switch B through the private network.
3
If there is only one LAN switch, divide VLANs on the switch to distinguish
between the public and private networks. see the appropriate manual for
details on the configuration.
To set up communication channels from the M2000 to NodeB through RNC, you
should set routes to the NodeB. Set these routes in two ways:
Through the router. See 3.5 Configuring Quidway AR 28-10 Router for setting
the router.
Huawei Technologies Proprietary

Commissioning GuideiManager M2000 Mobile Element Management System Chapter 3 Commissioning of O&M Network
Through the M2000 server. Configure the default static route or multiple routes
on the M2000 server. For details, see M2000 Administrator Guide or M2000 HA
System Administrator Guide.
III. Dial-Up Access
The M2000 also supports the dial-up access mode. To use this connection mode, a
dial-up server must be installed in the M2000 system.
The M2000 client accesses the M2000 dial-up server through the PSTN network, and
the dial-up server assigns an IP for this client. In this way, the user logs in to the
M2000 system through the M2000 client interface.
For details on the dial-up connection, see Chapter 8 "Commissioning of Dial-Up
Connection”.
3.2.3 WAN Networking
I. Networking Mode
A WAN is composed of multiple LANs. The LANs are connected with each other in
different modes. Table 1-2 lists details about the networking mode.
Table 1-2 WAN networking mode
Networking mode Description
Through partial
E1/T1
This is a common networking mode. It uses idle timeslots
in the existing E1/T1 transmission line to transmit the NMS
data. The advantage of this networking mode is that every
operator has its own E1/T1 transmission network. In this
way, it is convenient to provide transmission channels,
assign network addresses and maintain the communication
channels based on existing resources. This saves the
operator’s investment to a great extent.
Through whole
E1/T1
The whole E1/T1 networking does not require timeslot
extract and interchange. The whole E1/T1 with the 2 M
bandwidth is available for transmitting the NMS data. This
mode suits cases with redundant transmission resources
and large quantities of data.
Through DDN/X.25 This networking mode uses the conventional Digital Data
Network (DDN) or X.25 network to transmit the NMS data.
It has the advantages of reliable communications over the
private line and stable transmission quality, but has the
disadvantage of high cost.

II. Partial E1/T1 Networking Mode and the Commissioning Procedure
To use the partial E1/T1 networking mode, you should configure the timeslot cross
device Mercury3600, the router and the LAN switch, as shown in Figure 1-3. This
networking mode does not require the firewall. If necessary, set the firewall between
the M2000 server and NEs or clients.

IV. DDN/X.25 Networking Mode and the Commissioning Procedure
The network devices and commissioning procedure for the DDN/X.25 networking
mode are the same as those for the whole E1/T1 networking mode. The only
difference lies in that the E1/T1 networking use the E1/T1 cable while the DDN/X.25
networking uses the DDN or X.25 private cable.
3.3 Setting Firewall Port
3.3.1 Introduction to Firewall
The firewall function is to filter the traffic and to protect the system from network
attack. A firewall device is required between two different security areas.
I. Filtering Traffic
The firewall filters traffic through a set of security check rules. It allows only network
data that meets set conditions to pass Thus it ensures the network security.
In the O&M network, the device type, quantity and the type of traffic between device
nodes are limited and specific. This makes it possible to set the firewall to filter invalid
traffic.
In the O&M network, the valid traffics include:
Data stream between the M2000 server and various NEs
Data stream between the M2000 server and various clients
Data stream between the M2000 server and the NMS
Data stream between LMT and devices
Data stream for updating virus codes

Protecting against the IP fraudulence attack
Protecting against the Land attack
Protecting against the Smurf attack
Protecting against the Fraggle attack
Protecting against the WinNuke attack
Protecting against the SYN Flood attack
Protecting against the ICMP Flood attack

Checking validity of TCP packets
Checking IP fragmentation packets
Controlling oversize ICMP packets
3.3.2 Configuring Firewall
The M2000 server communicates with NEs, clients and the NMS through the
TCP/UDP protocol.
The firewall security policies work with the IP address and TCP/UDP port number to
filter the data traffic. The TCP/UDP port number ranges from 0 to 65535. The range is
divided into three segments:
Port numbers 0-1023 are for identifying some standard services, such as FTP,
Telnet, SMTP and TFTP.
Port numbers 1024-49151 are for Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) to
assign to registered applications.
Port numbers 49152-65535 are private and can be assigned dynamically to any
applications.
According to various networking security requirements, you can set the firewall:
Between the M2000 server and various NEs. For details on setting the firewall
port, see 3.3.3 “Setting Ports Between M2000 Server and NEs”.

3.4.3 Before Configuration
This section uses an instance to introduce the scheme planning and commissioning
procedure.
I. Planning Scheme
Figure 1-8 shows the timeslot cross scheme for the Mercury 3600.
Figure 1-8 Mercury 3600 timeslot cross scheme
Use idle timeslots in the E1 line from the switch to transmit NMS information.
Connect the E1 line with idle timeslots to port 1A on the E1 interface module on
the Mercury 3600.
Huawei Technologies Proprietary
18
Commissioning GuideiManager M2000 Mobile Element Management System Chapter 3 Commissioning of O&M Network
Connect the cable from the router to port 2A on the V.35 interface module.
Interchange all timeslots at ports 1A and 2A to port 1B. In this way, port 1B
integrates all information on ports 1A and 2A.
Connect port 1B to the remote E1 network.
II. Installing and Connecting Hardware
Install the Mercury 3600 according to Mercury 3600 Installation Manual.
Figure 1-9 shows how to connect Mercury3600 with peripheral devices.
Figure 1-9 Mercury 3600 engineering connecting diagram
The connection is described as follows:
Insert a 4-channel E1 interface module in slot 1 on the back panel of the Mercury
3600. The switch extends a pair of E1 cables with idle timeslots to connect a pair
of terminals on the DDF rack in the transmission equipment room. This pair of E1
cables then jumps to port 1A on the E1 interface module. In this way, the
Mercury 3600 is connected to the switch through port 1A and the corresponding
E1 port on the switch. Connect port 1B on this E1 interface module to the
transmission equipment, and then connect it to the remote end in the WAN (the
E1 network).
Interchange all timeslots at port 1A to port 1B.
Insert a 2-channel V.35 interface module in slot 2 on the back panel of Mercury
3600. Connect port 2A on this module to port S (the WAN network port) on the
router. The Mercury 3600 defines some timeslots at port 2A as channels for
transmitting NMS messages, and interchanges these timeslots to port 1B to
Huawei Technologies Proprietary
19
Commissioning GuideiManager M2000 Mobile Element Management System Chapter 3 Commissioning of O&M Network
extend them to the remote end. In this way, port 1B integrates information on
both ports 1A and 2A.
At the other end of the network, the Mercury 3600 extracts the timeslots for
transmitting NMS messages in the same way, and communicates with the
corresponding LAN through the router.
3.4.4 Procedure
According to 3.4.3 I. Planning Scheme, configure the Mercury 3600 as follows:
I. Configuring HyperTerminal
2) A serial port cable with 9-pin connectors at both ends is delivered with the
Mercury 3600. Use the cable to connect the terminal port on the front panel of
the Mercury 3600 and the serial port on the PC.
3) Run the HyperTerminal program, and set up a connection. Use the serial port
connection, and set the communications parameters as: 19200 bit/s, eight data

3.5.3 Before Configuration
I. Overview of Scheme Planning
Before configuring the router, plan the following information according to the actual
networking:
IP address and subnet mask of port Ethernet0/0 in the local Ethernet network
IP address and subnet mask of port Serial0/0 in the WAN
Destination network segment, subnet mask and next hop IP address for the
wide-used static route
Encapsulated protocols for the WAN
Clock at the WAN port
Huawei Technologies Proprietary
28
Commissioning GuideiManager M2000 Mobile Element Management System Chapter 3 Commissioning of O&M Network
II. Routes
The route table contains two types of routes:
Static routes. You can set the route in the route table manually. Static routes are
commonly used in networking to realize access to the remote network.
Dynamic routes. Dynamic routes in the route table are addressed by the bound
dynamic routing protocols, such as OSPF, RIP, IGRP and BGP. With these
protocols, the router can discover the corresponding routes dynamically in the
network. The route priority varies according to the corresponding protocol.
III. Encapsulated Protocols for WAN
For smooth communications, communications protocols encapsulated on the WAN
port on the local router must conform to those for the WAN port on the peer-end
router.
The common communications protocols are as follows:
HDLC
PPP
X.25
SLIP
Frame Relay
LAPB
IV. Clock at the WAN Port
When using the partial E1/T1 networking mode, the WAN port on the Quidway AR 28-
10 router works as a synchronous serial port. The synchronous serial port can work
as a DTE and DCE. Therefore, you should select the clock accordingly.
If as a DCE, it needs to provide clock for the peer-end DET. In this case, select
DCEclk.
If as a DTE, it receives clock from the peer-end DCE. For the synchronous
equipment, the receiving and transmitting clocks are mutually independent.
Therefore, you can select the receiving or transmitting clock of the DCE as the
receiving clock of the DTE. It is the same case with the DTE transmitting clock.
In this way, four combinations are available. That is, the clock at the DTE side
has four choices, as shown in Table 1-3.
Table 1-3 Clock selection for the synchronous serial port at the DTE side
Selection Meaning
DTEclk1 TxClk = TxClk, RxClk = RxClk
DTEclk2 TxClk = TxClk, RxClk = TxClk
Huawei Technologies Proprietary
29
Commissioning GuideiManager M2000 Mobile Element Management System Chapter 3 Commissioning of O&M Network
Selection Meaning
DTEclk3 TxClk = RxClk, RxClk = TxClk
DTEclk4 TxClk = RxClk, RxClk = RxClk
In this table, TxClk is the transmitting clock and RxClk the receiving clock. The clock
in front of “=” is the DTE-side clock, while that behind “=” is the DCE-side clock.
In the partial E1/T1 networking, the router is a DTE, and the Mercury 3600 is a DCE.
Therefore, the Mercury 3600 provides the clock for the router.
V. Instance
This section uses an instance to introduce the scheme planning and commissioning
procedure.
Plan the IP address of port Ethernet0/0 in the local Ethernet network as
129.9.0.1 and the subnet mask as 255.255.0.0.
Plan the IP address of port Serial0/0 in the WAN as 129.8.0.1 and the subnet
mask as 255.255.0.0.
Plan the destination network segment of the static route as 129.10.0.0, subnet
mask as 255.255.0.0 and next hop IP address as 129.8.0.2.
Plan the encapsulated protocol for the WAN as PPP.
Plan the clock at the WAN port as DTEclk2.
VI. Installing and Connecting Hardware
Install the router according to Quidway AR 28-10/28-11 Routers Installation Manual.
Figure 1-2 shows how to connect Quidway AR 28-10 with peripheral devices.

Commissioning GuideiManager M2000 Mobile Element Management System Chapter 3 Commissioning of O&M Network
I. Configuring HyperTerminal
27) Use the configuration cable delivered with Quidway AR 28-10 to connect console
port (CON) on it and the serial port on the PC.
28) Run the HyperTerminal program, and set up a connection. Use the serial port
connection, and set the baud rate to 9600, data bit to 8, no parity check, stop bit
to 1, flow control to none.
29) Switch on Quidway AR 28-10, and HyperTerminal displays the self-check
information about Quidway AR 28-10. When the self-check is complete, the
system prompts you to press Enter.
30) Press Enter, and the system enters the <Quidway> state.
II. Configuring Router
This section describes how to use the command line to configure the router.
The detailed procedure for configuring Quidway AR 28-10 is as follows:
31) Log in the router.
Switch on the router, and the system carries out the self-check. When the self-check
is complete, the system enters the user view, namely, the <Quidway> state.
32) Enters the system view
<Quidway> system-view
33) Execute the following command to check the router configuration data:
[Quidway] display current-configuration
The system displays the router configuration.
34) Set the system name as the prompter.
[Quidway] sysname ×××
35) Set the IP address and subnet mask for the Ethernet port.
If the set IP address and mask do not meet the actual requirements, execute the
corresponding commands to modify them. For example, to modify the IP of
Ethernet0/0, execute the following commands:
[Quidway] interface ethernet 0/0 //Enter the environment for setting port
Ethernet0/0.
[Quidway-Ethernet0/0] undo ip address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 255.xxx.xxx.xxx //Delete
the IP address previously configured for this port.
[Quidway-Ethernet0/0] ip address 129.9.0.1 255.255.0.0 //Reset the IP address
and mask for this port.
[Quidway-Ethernet0/0] quit //Go back to the prompter [Quidway].
36) Set the static route.
Huawei Technologies Proprietary
31
Commissioning GuideiManager M2000 Mobile Element Management System Chapter 3 Commissioning of O&M Network
If the set static route does not meet the actual requirements, execute the following
corresponding commands to modify it:
[Quidway] undo ip route-static ip-address (destination IP) mask (subnet mask) ip-
address (next hop IP) //Delete the previously set static route.
[Quidway] ip route-static 129.10.0.0 255.255.0.0 129.8.0.2 //Reset the static
route.
37) Set the IP address and subnet mask for the WAN port.
[Quidway] interface serial 0/0 //WAN port. Define serial 0/0 according to the
actual connection.
[Quidway-Serial0/0] undo ip address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 255.xxx.xxx.xxx //Delete
the IP address previously configured for this port.
[Quidway-Serial0/0] ip address 129.8.0.1 255.255.0.0 //Reset the IP address and
mask for this port.
[Quidway-Serial0/0] quit //Go back to the prompter [Quidway].
38) Encapsulate protocols for the WAN port.
The WAN port on the Quidway AR 28-10 router is encapsulated with the PPP protocol
by default. To modify the encapsulated communications protocol, execute the
following commands:
[Quidway] interface serial 0/0 //Enter the configuration mode for the WAN port
Serial0/0.
[Quidway-Serial0/0] link-protocol ppp //Encapsulate PPP.
[Quidway-Serial0/0] quit //Go back to the prompter [Quidway].
39) Set the clock for the WAN port.
The Quidway AR 28-10 router works by default as a DTE in the network. It uses the
clock in the DTEclk1 mode. To modify the clock mode, execute the following
command:
[Quidway] clock DTEclk2 //Set the clock mode to DTEclk2.
40) Save the configured data into Flash Memory.
[Quidway] save
41) Reboot the router.
[Quidway] reboot
This command will reboot the system. The current configuration has not
been saved and will be lost if you continue. Continue? [Y/N]

3.6 Configuring Quidway 3640 Router
3.6.1 Introduction to Quidway 3640
I. Overview
Quidway 3640 is a modularized router of Huawei R2600/3600 series. It works as the
network-side router in the M2000 remote network.
Note:
The content described in this section applies only to the common networking. For
more information, see the related technical documents about Quidway 3640.
II. Rear View
Figure 1-1shows the rear view of Quidway 3640.
Figure 1-1 Rear view of Quidway 3640
III. Interfaces
Quidway 3640 provides up to four slots for network interfaces. You can configure up
to four interface modules according to the actual need.
This section describes the Ethernet module and WAN module used in the M2000
system network.
There are two types of Ethernet modules:
1-port 10Base-T/100Base-TX Fast Ethernet interface module (1FE)
Huawei Technologies Proprietary
34
Commissioning GuideiManager M2000 Mobile Element Management System Chapter 3 Commissioning of O&M Network
2-port 10Base-T/100Base-TX Fast Ethernet interface module (2FE)
The 1FE module provides one 10/100 Mbps Ethernet RJ-45 interface, while the 2FE
module provides two.
Ethernet ports on Quidway 3640 are numbered from Ethernet 0. For example, if you
insert the 1FE module in slot 1 and the 2FE module in slot 2, the Ethernet port for slot
1 is numbered Ethernet 0, and those for slot 2 are numbered Ethernet 1 and Ethernet
2.
There are four types of WAN modules:
1-port channelized cE1/PRI module (1E1)
2-port channelized cE1/PRI module (2E1)
4-port channelized cE1/PRI module (4E1)
2SA/4SA fast synchronous/asynchronous serial port module
Each cE1 interface is a Controller E1. The Controller E1 ports are numbered as
follows:
The first Controller E1 port is numbered Controller E1 0.
From slot 0, the Controller E1 ports are numbered increasingly by degrees. The
first Controller E1 port on the module in the following slot is numbered as the
number of the last Controller E1 port on the module in the current slot plus one.
On the same interface module, the Controller E1 ports are numbered the same
as the numbers marked on the module panel.
For example, if you insert a 4E1 module in slot 1 and a 2E1 module in slot 3 on
Quidway 3640, the four cE1/PRI ports on the module in slot 1 are numbered from
Controller E1 0 to Controller E1 3, and the two on the module in slot 3 are numbered
Controller E1 4 and Controller E1 5.
3.6.2 Quidway 3640 Command View
The command line of the Quidway routers adopts the hierarchical protection to avoid
intrusion of unauthorized users.
Different commands need to be executed on the corresponding command views.

3.6.3 Before Configuration
I. Overview of Scheme Planning
Before configuring the router, plan the following information according to the actual
networking:
IP address and subnet mask of port E0 in the local Ethernet network
IP address and subnet mask of port S0 in the WAN
Destination network segment, subnet mask and next hop IP address for the
wide-used static route
Type of the WAN port, and the communications protocol to bind to interfaces,
such as X.25, Frame Relay and HDLC
Network protocol to use, such as AppleTalk, IP and IPX (usually IP selected)
II. WAN Port Working Mode
The WAN cE1/PRI port works in two modes: E1 and cE1/PRI.
When working in the E1 mode, it is an interface with a bandwidth as 2 Mbit/s and
with no timeslot division. It has the same logical characteristics as the
synchronous serial port. It supports link layer protocols such as PPP, Frame
Relay, LAPB and X.25, and supports network protocols such as IP and IPX.
When working in the cE1/PRI mode, it is divided into 32 timeslots physically.
These timeslots are numbered from 0 to 31. When working as a cE1 interface, it
divides randomly all timeslots except timeslot 0 into several groups. The
timeslots in each group are bound and work as a channel-group interface. This
bound interface supports link layer protocols such as PPP, Frame Relay, LAPB
and X.25, and supports network protocols such as IP and IPX.
Huawei Technologies Proprietary

Commissioning GuideiManager M2000 Mobile Element Management System Chapter 3 Commissioning of O&M Network
Note:
In the partial E1/T1 networking, Quidway 3640 works as the router in the Network
Management Center (NMC). It communicates directly with various NE-side routers
through port E1. The communication process is as this: the Mercury 3600, a timeslot
cross equipment, aggregates NMS information of various managed NEs to one E1
port, and then transmits the aggregated information to port E1 on the router.
Therefore, it is important to configure port E1 on Quidway 3640.
III. Instance
This section uses an instance to introduce the scheme planning and commissioning
procedure.
Plan the IP address of the Ethernet port in the local Ethernet network as
10.11.100.1 and the subnet mask as 255.255.255.0.
Plan the IP address of the WAN port as 133.133.133.1 and the subnet mask as
255.255.255.252.
Plan the destination network segment of the static route as 10.11.1.0, subnet
mask as 255.255.255.0 and next hop IP address as 133.133.133.2.
IV. Installing and Connecting Hardware
Install the router according to Quidway 3640 Installation Manual.
Figure 1-2shows how to connect Quidway 3640 with peripheral devices.
Figure 1-2 Connecting Quidway 3640
3.6.4 Procedure

I. Configuring HyperTerminaling
44) Use the configuration cable delivered with Quidway 3640 to connect port
CONSOLE on it and the serial port on the PC.
Huawei Technologies Proprietary
38
Commissioning GuideiManager M2000 Mobile Element Management System Chapter 3 Commissioning of O&M Network
45) Run the HyperTerminal program, and set up a connection. Use the serial port
connection, and set the communications parameters as: 9600 bit/s, no parity
check, one stop bit, flow control as Xon/Xoff.
46) Switch on Quidway 3640, and HyperTerminal displays the self-check information
about Quidway 3640. When the self-check is complete, the system prompts you
to press Enter.
47) Press Enter, and the system enters the Router state.
II. Configuring Routering
You can configure the Quidway 3640 series routers in two ways:
The setup mode
The command line mode
This section describes how to use the command line to configure the router.
Note:
The system prompts to configure the router in the setup mode on the first boot. You
can also execute the command setup to enter the setup mode, as follows:
[Quidway] setup
The detailed procedure for configuring Quidway 3640 is as follows:
48) Log in to the router.
Switch on the router, and the system carries out the self-check. When the self-check
is complete, the system enters the system view, namely, the Router state.
49) Set the system name as the prompter.
[Quidway] sysname ×××
50) Set the IP address and subnet mask for the Ethernet port.
[Router] interface ethernet 0 //Enter the mode for configuring the specified
Ethernet port E0.
[Router-Ethernet0] ip address 10.11.100.1 255.255.255.0 //Reset the IP address
and mask for E0.
51) Set the WAN port cE1/PRI.
[Router] controller e1 0 //Set the E1 port with the number as 0.
[Router-E1-0] code ami | hdb3 //Set the line code format to AMI or HDB3. The
system default setting is HDB3.
[Router-E1-0] using e1|ce1 //The cE1/PRI port works in the E1 or cE1/PRI mode.
The system default setting is the cE1 mode.

[Router-E1-0] frame-format crc4 //Set the frame check mode of the cE1/PRI port
to the 4-byte CRC. You can also set not to use the CRC.
Note:
Set whether to use the CRC according to the specific network communications
requirements. If the Mercury 3600 that communicates with the router uses the CRC,
set the CRC for the router; otherwise, do not.
[Router-E1-0] channel-set 1 timeslot-list 1-4 //Define that channel set 1 binds
timeslots 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Note:
Timeslot 0 is usually not involved in the channel definition. It is used for synchronizing
the clock during the line communications. Therefore, the timeslot binding starts from
timeslot 1.
52) Set the virtual serial port.
[Router-E1-0] interface serial 0:1
[Router-Serial0:1] ip address 133.133.133.1 255.255.255.252
[Router-Serial0:1] link-protocol ppp
[Router-Serial0:1] quit
53) Set the static route.
If the set static route does not meet the actual requirements, execute the following
corresponding commands to modify it:
[Router] ip route-static 10.11.1.0 255.255.255.0 133.133.133.2 //Reset the static
route.
54) Save the setting and check the configuration.
Press Ctrl+Z to go back to the prompter Router.
[Router] save //Save the configuration into the flash memory.
[Router] display cur //Display the configuration.
III. Checking Configuration and Debugging Systemand debugging

Commissioning GuideiManager M2000 Mobile Element Management System Chapter 3 Commissioning of O&M Network
55) Display the status of the WAN port serial 0.
When the router configuration is complete at both sides of the network, execute the
following command on any router to display the S0 status:
[Router] display interface serial 0
The displayed port information includes:
Physical status of the port and protocol status
Physical characteristics of the port, such as synchronous/asynchronous,
DTE/DCE, selected clock, baud rate and external cables
IP address of the port
Link layer protocols encapsulated on the port and their running status and
statistics
Input/output message statistics.
56) Check the remote network.
Execute ping to check whether the remote network is connected.
[Router] ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (IP of Ethernet0/0 on the peer-end router)
If you can ping the port, it shows that the configuration is correct and the network is
usable. Otherwise, check the configuration and the network connection.
You can use the self-loop to check if the communication problem is caused by faulty
links. Check further the router configuration, including the IP address, mask, static
route, protocol encapsulated on the WAN port, the corresponding timeslot, and the
extracted clock. Locate the problem, and ensure that you can ping the peer-end LAN
successfully.

4.4 Installing NE Mediation Software
4.4.1 Introduction to NE Mediation Software
The M2000 software includes the common software and the mediation software. The
common software provides basic M2000 functions, and the mediation software
mediates various types of NEs to cover them in the M2000 system for uniform
management.
Install the mediation software separately after the M2000 common software is
installed and starts working properly.
The mediation software installation package is provided based on the NE version.
Execute the installation package on the M2000 server. When the mediation software
is installed, start the M2000 client, and the system automatically downloads relevant
information to the client from the M2000 server.
The installation of the different type NE mediation is the same.
4.4.2 Preparing Installation Files
Download the mediation software installation package for the NE to be accessed from
the website, and then upload it to the M2000 server as follows:
61) Create the installation package directory /export/home/mediation.
Log in to the M2000 server as user root, and then execute the following command:
# mkdir -p /export/home/mediation
62) Upload the installation package in the bin mode to /export/home/mediation
through FTP.
For example, copy the mediation software installation package for the UMG
iManagerM2000_UMG_MATCH_ENG_V200R002C02B006.tar to the M2000 client,
and then upload it in the bin mode to /export/home/mediation on the M2000 server
through FTP.
4.4.3 Stopping M2000 Services and Collector
Before installing the mediation software, ensure to stop the M2000 services and
Collector. The stopping procedure in the single server system is different from that in
the high availability (HA) system, as described in the following.

4.5 Creating an NE
4.5.1 Creating a UMTS NE
I. Description
Create a UMTS NE in the topology tree on the M2000 client.
After the NE is created, the M2000 generates management objects for this NE.
Through the automatic synchronization with the NE, the M2000 obtains the NE
configuration, and then saves it into the M2000 database. In addition, maintenance
channels are established between the M2000 and the UMTS NE to enable the M2000
server to manage the UMTS NE.
II. Prerequisites
Before creating the UMTS NE, ensure that:
The connection between the M2000 system and the UMTS NE is normal.
M2000 services are working properly.
The mediation software for the UMTS NE is installed successfully on the server.
The UMTS & GSM option is selected during the installation of the M2000 client.
The M2000 is authorized to manage the UMTS and GSM NEs.
III. Procedure
All UMTS NEs except Node B are created on the M2000 client in the same
procedure. Take the RNC creation for example, and the procedure is as follows:
81) Select the subnet.
Plan the location of the RNC in the topology tree and the subnet it belongs to.
If the subnet with the NE does not exist in the topology tree, you should create
the subnet. Right-click on the topology tree, and then select Create Physical
Subnet. In the displayed dialog box, enter the subnet name, and then choose

8.1 About This Chapter
PSTN users can access the M2000 system through the dial-up connection.
This chapter describes how to set up and check the dial-up connection.
8.2 Introduction to Dial-Up Connection
The dial-up connection means that the M2000 client accesses the PSTN through the
Modem dial-up. The dial-up server also accesses the PSTN through the Modem. The
TCP/IP connection is set up between the dial-up server and the M2000 server. This
connection assigns an IP address to the remote operation terminal, so that you can
start the M2000 client program on the M2000 client to log in to the M2000 system, as
shown in Figure 1-1.
