Functions of NMS
The SDH NMS must enable the five types of management functions specified in the ITU-T G.784 Recommendation. According to actual conditions, the management functions are classified as alarm management, performance management, configuration management, maintenance management and safety management.

Alarm management function

According to the severity, alarms are classified as major alarms, minor alarms and event alarms. According to the generating sources, alarms are classified into transmission alarms, equipment alarms, external event alarms, performance alarms and software alarms. According to alarm states, alarms can be classified as current alarms and history alarms. All alarms to be managed are as follows: Transmission alarms These alarms are related with the STM-N transmission information flows, including: LOS (Loss of signal) LOF (Loss of frame) MOI Fiber Page 52 of 124

2.

LOP (Loss of pointer) RDI (Far end receive failure) AIS (Alarm indication signal) Equipment alarms These alarms are related with the physical equipment of the SDH system, including plug/unplug of board, power failure, clock failure, etc. External event alarms These alarms are related with equipment environment, for example the opening of equipment room door, fire, water and high temperature. Performance alarms These refer to performance overflow alarms. And the details are related with the performance part. Software alarms These are mainly communication faults and program errors checked in the program running process of NCP Based on the above classifications and contents, the management system should: 1) Automatically report alarms. 2) 3) 4) 5) Request to report alarms. Allow/prohibit the automatic report of some types of alarms. Request to report the states of enabled/disabled reported alarms. Filter alarms: When multiple alarms appear at the same time and the alarms are related, the NMS can find the most important alarm from the alarms. Locate alarms: The NMS can locate the generated alarms on a site, a board, or a tributary. The time label is as precise as in seconds. Query alarms: The operator can implement combined query according to the alarm time label, alarm state, alarm position (site, board, tributary), alarm type and alarm severity level.

For the above contents to be managed, performance management should provide the following functions: 1) Performance data collection: Performance management should collect the corresponding BIP values and event metering values by referring to ITU-T Recommendations and the existing device level. Performance data collection should be implemented on a single section, line, channel terminal or monitoring point in NE. The metering of the performance memory should be depressed in unavailable and fault conditions. 2) Performance monitoring history: Set the 15-minute and 24-hour performance memory and adopt performance history data backup so that all performance states of system operations can be checked by statistical analysis and users. The exactness and resolving power of time label is 1 second. 3) Performance threshold value setting and overflow announcement: Performance threshold values can be set and modified in each performance memory. If the performance value exceeds the threshold value, an overflow event alarm will be reported in the present metering period. 4) Performance data report: the NMS can be set to report automatically or at request. The types of reported performance data can be set. The setting states can be checked. Zero metering reports should be restricted. 5) Performance query: The operator can implement combined query according to time labels, performance types and monitoring ports. 6) Performance statistics and analysis: these are sent to users in forms of pictures or reports.
