Chapter 1 GigaVu Functions and Capabilities

edgeGEAR™ 2000 ChassisThe edgeGEAR 2000 chassis is designed to operate in a controlled environment such as a central office (CO), headend, hut, or controlled environment vault (CEV). The chassis is the interface between video, IP, and telephone networks and the services delivery optical network unit (ONU) at customers’ premises. The chassis has a capacity of sixteen PONs that can support up to 512 ONUs. It contains 15 slots that support the following plug-in modules:

Slots 1-8 OLT (Optical Line Terminator) provides optical interfaces for two PONs (each PON supports up to 32 ONUs). The transceivers provide 1Gb/s Ethernet transport. OLTs in adjacent slots may be configured to allow redundant operation.

Slots 9-10 SCM (Switch Controller Module) is the IP interface to Internet Service Provider (ISP) and Video Service Provider (VSP) traffic. It provides two 1000BaseFX fiber optic links to IP networks. The SCM also performs system controller functions and houses the GigaVu™ server used for OA&M functions. The SCMs may be configured to allow redundant operation.

Slots 11-12 NIM (Network Interface Module) provides six 1000BaseFX fiber optic links to IP networks. The NIM cards may be configured to allow redundant operation.

Slots 13-14 DS3M (DS3 Multiplexer) provides up to four DS3 links to PSTN as well as providing a Digital Cross-connect capability. The DS3Ms may be configured to allow redundant operation.

Slot 15 BNC Module is the physical connection for up to four full duplex DS3 cables that connect the telephone network to the DS3M Module. The BNC also has two RJ45 connectors to receive T1/E1 framed bits clocking for the system.

edge 200 ChassisThe edge 200 is designed as a hardened unit. It can operate in harsh environmental conditions such as pedistals, wiring closets or maintenance structures. It serves as the hub point between the Alloptic access network and the service provider’s Wide Area Network. Along with the ONUs, it delivers high speed data, RF/IP video and voice services to small or isolated communities in a variety of network topologies. The chassis has two 1 Gig PONs interfaces that can support up to 64 ONUs.The edge 200 supports two 100Base-T Ethernet ports, two optional 1Gig optical interfaces and four T1/E1 ports for applications where non-aggregated data traffic must be accommodated or when long distance back-haul capability (up to 70Km) is necessary.

GigaVu™ FunctionsThe GigaVu™ local manager resides in and runs over an embedded web server on each chassis. Using web-based point and click technology, an operator can configure all aspects of the GigaVu™ network. Additionally, it actively monitors the status of all system components and regulates user privileges and security.A GigaVu™ operator plugs a PC, running Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.0 or higher, into an RJ45 port, activates the application and logs in. The direct connection between the workstation and SCM/Mgmt port requires a Category 5 Cross-over cable.The opening Home screen presents a series of top level tabs that allow access to the GigaVu™ functions. The tabs displayed are dependent upon user access privileges. The operator clicks on the appropriate tab to navigate to the various functions.

GigaVu™ CapabilitiesGigaVu™ provides access to several maintenance and loopback functions. The GigaVu™ Maintenance windows allow the user to monitor the operational status of PON, Ethernet, and DS3/DS1 modules/ports, as well as the ONUs, fans and power supplies. The user can manage system alarms and service configurations, view TDM cross connect information, and replace chassis hardware. By clicking on a chassis module or port, the user can see its operational status. The chassis software links system control function to allow retrieval of alarms and service information from the workstation. An ONU Status tab provides a path to monitor the module and port status. The port status windows allow the user to monitor PON, Ethernet, and DS1 port performance or to conduct loopbacks in DS3 or DS1 facilities.

Accessing the Diagnostic Port


Using the Diagnostic Port This procedure allows you to view the IP addresses for both edgeGEAR™ 2000 SCM ports and the edge 200 Mgmt port and adjust your connection to regain access and make necessary changes. You should only need to execute this process if the chassis system IP address(es) have been changed and are unknown.

A computer equipped with a Terminal application (such as HyperTerminal or Secure Terminal), a straight through Ethernet cable, and an Alloptic DB9 modular cable adaptor are required to complete this process.

Accessing the Diagnostic PortThis section describes the procedure for viewing chassis IP addresses. 1. Select a serial COM port to use for connecting to the SCM/Mgmt port.2. On your computer, set the COM port settings as follows:

• Bits per second: 9600

• Data bits: 8

• Parity: None

• Stop Bits: 1

• Flow Control: None

3. Connect the Ethernet cable to the RS232 port on the SCM/Mgmt port.4. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the DB9/RJ45 modular cable adaptor.

• View the diagram for the proper DB9/RJ45 adaptor pinouts.

• The RJ-45 side of the adapter is labeled from left to right 1 through 8. The serial side is labeled top right to top left 1 through 5, bottom right to bottom left 6 through 9.

5. Connect the DB9 cable to the serial port of the computer.6. Open your Terminal application, and make sure it is using the correct serial port on

the computer. • With this selected, you should be connected to the serial interface of the SCM/

Mgmt port.7. The IP address(es) of the SCM/Mgmt ports are displayed along with other system

information.

Recommended Best Practice: Never change the address of the RJ45 management port. This port allows you to connect locally to the SCM/Mgmt port using a cross over cable.

System Loopbacks


Chapter 6 Managing Loopbacks

Managing LoopbacksThe GigaVu™ system provides a series of loopbacks in the chassis DS3M and ONU DS1 modules. These loopbacks capabilities are useful for isolating TDM problems. The loopbacks may be used with external test equipment or GigaVu™ performance monitoring checks. The line test option allows the DS0 and DS1 cross connects to be tested using the QRSS (quasi-random signal source) test pattern generation and detection. Only one loopback can be activated in a module.Operating a loopback will interrupt service. When testing is completed, No Loop must always be set to allow service. Multiple loopback options are available.

System Loopbacks

Figure 53: GigaVu™ System Loopbacks

Payload LoopPayload loops the DS1 back toward the distant equipment. The Framer is included in the test path. This capability allows the testing of Customer and Network equipment interfaces through the chassis or ONU electronics.Line LoopThe Line Loop loops the TDM Interface toward the distant equipment. The electronic components are excluded from the test path. This capability allows the testing of Customer and Network equipment connections.Local LoopThis choice either loops the TDM Interface toward the DS3 module and network equipment or from the DS3 back towards the ONU. The electronics components are included in the test path. This capability enables network equipment to ONU testing or chassis to ONU tests.

Chapter 7 POTS Line Testing

POTS Line TestingThe Alloptic System provides comprehensive interactive testing capabilities for POTS lines. A 1000 Hz Test Tone may be inserted into a POTS line, and loopback functions are supported for both the analog (PCM) and digital (Full) sections of a POTS line.GigaVu™ supports TDM Cross-Connect Verification (TCCV) testing. This capability allows you to isolate and correct problems in network and system configurations for TDM cross-connects provisioned on the system. The following POTS TCCV tests are supported for homeGEAR™ Ultra, homeGEAR™ 1000, home 4000 and bizGEAR Ultra ONUs.The DS3M chassis module, or edge 200 T1 port, generates the test patterns necessary to verify TDM cross connects. The test pattern signal is looped back at the ONU cross connect endpoint. The test pattern is present at the origination point and is verified against the original test pattern source to ensure that the cross connect is operating correctly.

Figure 62: POTS TDM Cross-Connect Verification

Test Type Description

Line Test allows the POTS cross-connect to be tested using the QRSS (quasi-random signal source) test pattern generation and detection.

Test Tone allows a 1000 Hz test tone to be injected on the POTS line.

Diagnostics allows a loopback to be set for either the analog (PCM) or digital (Full) sections of a POTS line.

Dial Tone Test detects the presence of dial tone and provides notification of whether dial tone was detected or not.

Forced off-hook and on-hook control

allows the service provider to control hook status of POTS lines from a remote location.

Understanding Alarm Status Propagation


Alarm DescriptionThe Alarm Description window allows the operator to interpret alarm codes reported in the Alloptic chassis. This window is principally Read-only, and the ability to edit the alarm type, alarm severity or alarm propagation values is based on user access privileges.

Understanding Alarm Status PropagationA hierarchy is enforced for all alarms that are reported against a system entity. Alarm statuses are propagated upwards from lower-level entities (such as ONUs and chassis module ports) to higher-level entities (such as the chassis itself). For a list of Alloptic alarm codes, refer to Appendix C: Alarm Codes.For example, if an OLT module has no alarms posted against it but has lower level ONUs in critical alarm, the OLT itself will display an alarm status to reflect the occurrence.

By default, the alarm status is unchanged for each type of alarm as the status is propagated to the top of the hierarchy. The default Alarm Status Propagation Value for each Alarm Code is loaded at the factory; however, the value may be changed to 1, 2, or 3. The Propagation Value represents the amount of severity decrementing for higher-level entities versus the lower-level entity that is in alarm (providing no other higher priority alarm condition is posted against it).The following table describes the propagation values.

* Higher severity alarm posted against lower entity takes priority in determining severity.For example, Alarm Code 8001 (ONU is Down) is set to a propagation value of 3. If the ONU has a critical alarm posted against it, the OLT (the second level up in the hierarchy) would have an informational alarm status, as will as the chassis.

NOTE: You cannot change the severity on Events, and not all Events can be changed to Alarms.

Propagation Value Next Subtending Entity Alarm/Event Status *

3 Informational

2 Minor if Alarm Code is Critical, Informational otherwise

1 Major if Alarm Code is Critical, Minor if Alarm Code is Major, Informational otherwise

0 (default) Same as Alarm Code

• Change an Event to an Alarm.• Not all Events can be changed into Alarms.

• Click the Default Severity button to restore the Severity to its default value.• Click the Default Trap Type button to restore all Trap Type to their default

settings.5. Change the Alarm Propagation using one of the following methods.

• Select a new value from the drop-down list.

• 0 = no alarm decrementation• 1 = one level of alarm decrementation, i.e. critical becomes major.• 2 = two levels of decrementation, i.e. critical become minor.• 3 = three levels of decrementation, i.e. critical becomes informational.

• Click the Default Propagation button to restore the Propagation to its default value.

6. Press the Submit button.
