Top Section
The displayed symbols correspond to the File and Script menus:
Symbol Corresponding Menu Description

Item
File -> New File Creates a new empty script

configuration file.
File -> Open... Opens an existing script configuration

file.
File -> Save As... Saves the script configuration file.

configuration file.
For automatic creating, click the Record symbol, perform NE configurations, then click the
Stop symbol.
For manual creating, enter command lines according to the syntax described below.
Bottom Section
When the script configuration file is started, the bottom section shows parser errors.
To get the line of the error in the script configuration file, click the error message.
Syntax
• A semicolon follows every statement.
• A statement can occupy more than one line in the script.
A42022-L5957-B155-1-7619 27
• The configuration script does not support variables. All parameters must be given
explicitly either as numbers or as predefined symbols.
• The syntax is not case sensitive.
• Script statements:
ObjectInstance (addressing of object instances) . Action (Parameters);
ObjectInstance (addressing of object instances) . Set (Attribute, Parameters);
// <Comment> or /* <comment> */
• An object instance is clearly identified by the following values:

ObjectClass
subrackNumber
slotReference
containerIndex
objectIndex
The ObjectClass is always given as a symbolic keyword followed by the remaining 4

values enclosed in brackets.
Example:
IFQ2G5(1, 306, 1, 1);
refers to the IFQ2G5 card in slot # 306.
• A SET invoke operation on an attribute can only be invoked with an objectInstance. The
keyword "Set" is used in the statements to configure values of attributes. The syntax for
performing a SET invoke is:
objectInstance.Set (Attribute, Value).
Example:
IFS2G5(1, 303).Set(EnableTransferHistoryFileAfterStartup,enabled);
• An action can only be invoked with an objectInstance. The keyword "Action" is used in
the statements to perform action invokes. The syntax for performing an ACTION invoke
is:
objectInstance.Action (Parameters);
Example:
EquipmentManager(1,211,1,1).ConfigureRequiredEquipping(((1, 306),
CardEquipped((IFS10G,"MspProtection"))));
• The "Wait" command allows the user to specify a certain amount of time that the script
configuration execution procedure must hold before executing the next command or
commands. The syntax for the Wait command is:
Wait(<time interval between 1 to 10000 seconds>);
Example: Wait(1000);
• The "Loop" command allows the user to specify blocks of instructions that must be
repeated a certain number of times. It adds to the scripting functionality the support of
execution cycles. The syntax for the Loop command is:
Loop(<number of times to repeat the block between 1 to 10000 or * to repeat until a user
stop>);
<Qst command 1>;
...
<Qst command n>;
EndLoop;
Examples:
Loop(50);
ne(1,254,1,1,1).Set(powerSupplyDuplication,enabled);
28 A42022-L5957-B155-1-7619
EndLoop;
Loop(*);
faultManager(1,254,1,1,1).Set(f4nIntegrationTime,(secondValues(3),11));
EndLoop;
• Syntax for the complex QST types:
SEQUENCE
(element 1, element 2, ... element n)
SEQUENCE OF BYTE
(byte 1, byte 2, ... byte n) or (<text>)
Example for ACTION:

ethernetLinkage(1,511).createReachableAddressEthernet(("SIEMENSAG"),
0x1, external, (0x11, 0x22,0x33,0x44,0x55,0x66), enabled);
SET OF
(element 1, element 2, ..., element n)
CHOICE
<choice tag>, <QST type associated with the given choice tag>
Example:
vcCo().connect(unprotectedUni, (SF2G5(1,309,2,1),SF2G5(1,309,2,3)));

not used ports.
Flow Control
If the flow control is enabled, pause frames will be generated if
- ETH Rx traffic exceeds the configured admission control,
- ETH Rx traffic exceeds the configured VC capacity,
- in case of multi-channel mode the sum of Rx traffic exceeds the VC capacity.
Notes: Incoming pause frames (from ETH side) will be dropped, the NE will not reduce the
speed.
Attention if 2 ETH ports of the SURPASS hiT 7070 are connected with each other:
In case of excessive ETH traffic inputs, both partners will send pause frames, but neither will
react to these pause frames. Therefore frames may be lost with high bit rate und different
admission control or VC capacity.

P12 Mapping Supervision
Port Connection Supervision
disabled = no supervision
enabled = supervision on SD, EXC and LOF in mapping direction
The supervision is only relevant, if the port monitoring is enabled.
If the incoming 2-Mbit/s signal is used as timing source for the clock pulses T0 and
T4, the signal must be
framed and the port connection supervision must be enabled.
CRC-4 Monitoring
This attribute allows to enable/disable the CRC monitor function in mapping direction.
If the switch is
disabled, no CRC-4 communication alarm will be generated. The CRC processing is
only relevant, if the port connection supervision and the port monitoring are enabled.
P12 Demapping Processing
Supervision/Retiming
This attribute allows to enable the retiming function for outgoing 2 Mbit/s signals. If enabled,
the 2-Mbit/s signal in mapping direction is synchronized to the T0 clock. The signal is then
supervised on AIS, EXC and LOF. If disabled, the outgoing 2-Mbit/s signal is not supervised
and is transmitted transparently.
The retimed signal can have frame slips, these slips depends on the frequency offset
between the origin PDH signal and the T0. If retiming is enabled, the T0-configuration of the
SEC-configuration is not to be configured as "Free Running" or "Holdover" mode. So a
reference clock source must be available. If not the outgoing 2-Mbit/s signal will have AIS.
CRC-4 Insertion/Monitoring
This attribute allows to enable/disable the CRC processing function in demapping direction. If
the checkbox is Disabled, no CRC-4 communication alarm will be generated. The CRC
Processing attribute is only relevant, if the retiming Switch Demapper NE and the termination
port monitoring are enabled. The supervision of AIS, EXC and LOF is only relevant, if the
termination port monitoring is enabled.

10 Timing
10.1 Date / Time Configuration
-> Configuration -> NE Time...
This window is used to configure the NE time according to the GMT. Opening this window
causes a request of date and time from the NE. The received values are displayed in the
current NE time field and are automatically updated each second due to the PC internal clock
source.
Current NE Time
This field allows you to select the basis the NE time will be configured to. The current NE time
can be changed by adjusting the PC-time in the system time setup of the MS Windows control
panel.
Adjust NE Time to PC-GMT
The date and time values for the PC-GMT are given by the MS Windows system time
settings. The date and time values are displayed in read only fields.
A42022-L5957-B155-1-7619 263
10.2 Synchronous Equipment Clock Configuration
-> SEC...
In this window, you can configure timing sources that are used for synchronization. Each
timing source besides internal timing can be configured according to priorities. Internal timing
always has the lowest priority. The timing source, when available, with the highest priority is
used for the timing derivation.
A green hook or red cross symbol next to the T0 Prio field indicates the lockout state. If a
timing source is locked out (red cross), it is generally not available as a synchronization
reference.
You can toggle the lockout state by clicking this lockout symbol separately for each T1 and T3
timing source.
264 A42022-L5957-B155-1-7619
Currently selected timing sources for the clock pulses T0 and T4 are displayed by means of
an arrow. The arrow displays the mode as set in the T0 and T4 configuration windows. For
further information, see below ("Forced").
The SA bit used for SSM evaluation / insertion is configurable independently for T3 and T4.
The SA bit configuration is only effective with 2-Mbit/s mode operation.
The modes involved are as follows:
Auto:
The system selects from the configured timing sources, according to the assigned priority, the
best clock pulse. For the same quality, the value of the set priority is decisive (1 = very good/6
= very bad/do not use).
Forced:
You can determine which timing source is used. If the selected timing source fails, a second
arrow displays Selected in the Holdover field. The Forced arrow remains on the timing
selected timing source. If the timing source can be used again, the second arrow disappears
after expiry of the Wait to Restore Time. Here assigned priorities have no meaning.
The jump from higher timing quality to lower timing quality is accepted immediately.
The jump back from lower timing quality to higher timing quality is only accepted after expiry
of the time set in the Wait to Restore Time box. This applies to the modes Forced and Auto.
If an existing synchronization with a configurable set of reference clock pulse sources is no

longer available, the SEC switches from synchronous operation to the Holdover mode.
If the SEC cannot be synchronized with any external clock pulse source, it changes to the
Free Running mode.
Use SSM for Selection checkbox

With this attribute, you configure if the selection process of timing sources considers the
Quality Level (= enable) or not (= disable).
The received timing marker contains the timing quality of the reference timing of a received
STM signal. It is 4 bits wide and there are 16 different values. Only six of these values are
used. All other values are treated in the same way as the DNU (don’t use) value. Behind the
DNU display, the received value is the displayed.

Note:
If a received VC indicates to carry GFP framed traffic (signal label) and this is the expected
signal label (no PLM detected), but no packets can be delineated from this VC, a LofDel
alarm is raised.
ETH-GFP Assignment
Assign ETH ports to the GFP groups (if provided) and enter the Bandwidth for each ETH port.
The value range depends on the port type:
Fast Ethernet 10Base-TX: 1...10 Mbit/s in 1-Mbit/s steps.
Fast Ethernet 100Base-TX: 1...100 Mbit/s in 1-Mbit/s steps.
Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base-SX/LX: 1...1000 Mbit/s in 1-Mbit/s steps.
Notes:
The sum of the bandwidths of all ports assigned to one GFP group must not exceed the
capacity of the assigned Virtual Container (VC).
Approx. values: VC3: 50 Mbit/s, VC3-2v: 100 Mbit/s, VC4: 155 Mbit/s, VC4-4v: 622 Mbit/s,
VC4-7v: 1000 Mbit/s.
All frames will be dropped, if the channel numbers of sink and source are different.
GFP-SDH Assignment
Note: First, the VCs have to be generated by means of the templates in the Concatenation
Group Templates window.
Now all VCs of the selected template are available and can be assigned to GFP groups.
Be aware that assignment/reassignment of VC to GFP will cause traffic interruption!
306 A42022-L5957-B155-1-7619
The Subchannelling column determines if the GFP frame will have an extension header. An
extension header is required if the GFP group contains at least 2 ports.
Note: Sink and source must have the same configuration, otherwise all frames will be
dropped.
The Supervision column enables/disables the supervision for the GFP alarm LOFDEL.
This alarm raises if the received VC does not contain GFP frames.

This window is accessible via the Module View, by using the context menu of an IFOFES-E
card symbol -> Configuration -> GFP Assignment...
Notes:
If a received VC indicates to carry GFP framed traffic (signal label) and this is the expected
signal label (no PLM detected), but no packets can be delineated from this VC, a LofDel
alarm is raised.
VCs or virtual concatenated VCs of the first VC4 can only be assigned to ports 1...4.
VCs or virtual concatenated VCs of the second VC4 can only be assigned to ports 5...8.
In case of virtual concatenated VCs, at first the Mux structure must be configured via the VC4
Multiplex Structure window. Then the virtual concatenated VCs have to be generated in the
Concatenation Configuration window.
There is no admission control, because the required transmission capacity can be configured
with virtual concatenated VC12s in VC12 granularity (2-Mbit/s steps).
There is no sub-channeling, i.e. every GFP group can transmit only one port.
Not assigned but cross connected VCs will cause LofDel alarm at the other end of the VC
path; the IFOFES-E card will not insert Idle GFP frames.

symbol -> Configuration -> TCP/IP -> IP Addresses...
This window allows to configure the IP addresses for each DCN interface within the
SURPASS hiT 7070.
A42022-L5957-B155-1-7619 321
Column Description
Index Unique identifier of the interface.
This index must be used also for identification of unnumbered links in

OSPF configuration.
(Identifier = SNMP-index)
Interface Interface name.
Possible Interface names are :
eth0:
for Ethernet Interface
(unnumbered index 2)
lo:0:
for Local loopback interface
(unnumbered index 1)
dcc:
Point-to-point interface over DCCM or DCCR. Each device could be
configured as numbered or unnumbered interface
IP Address The local IP address of the interface.
The default value for the interface is 0.0.0.0 in this case the interface is
not configured.
Once a local loopback address has been defined in the SURPASS hiT
7070, it is not possible any more to reset a configured IP address back
to 0.0.0.0. If the address 0.0.0.0 is assigned, the NE assigns the
address of lo:0 to this device. If the IP address of an interface is equal to
the address of the local loopback interface lo:0 this interface is treated
as unnumbered interface. If the IP address is not equal to the address of
lo:0 or to the address of any other interface this interface is called a
numbered interface. Every time that the operator tries to disable an IP
interface by configuring its IP address to 0.0.0.0, the local loopback IP
address will be set.
+ to disable IP on the interface set this interface to OSI only, using the
"Linkage Config" window.
For Ethernet interface: SCOH symbol -> Configuration -> MCF ->
Ethernet -> Configuration, then select OSI.
For DCC interfaces: SCOH symbol -> Configuration -> MCF -> DCC,
then select a DCC interface and press the right-hand-mouse button,
select "Configuration", then select OSI.
Subnet Mask Subnet mask associated with the IP address of this interface.
It defines the network that this interface belongs to. If OSPF is enabled
on this interface the subnet mask has to be the same as set for the
connected peer interface(s).
322 A42022-L5957-B155-1-7619
Dest IP Address The destination IP address of the interface referenced by the Index.
For the Ethernet interface the destination has to be the same as the
source. For point to point links normally it is not necessary to enter any
data in this field.

Each system can change its assigned password, i.e. OS can change only the OS password in
the NE, LCT can only change LCT password and NCT can only change the NCT password in
the NE. In addition, every operating system can reset the other passwords inside the NE to
the default password.
For all OS, LCT and NCT the default password is: NEPASSWORD
As usual, when changing the current password, the operator must enter the current password
and type the new password twice.
Password build rule:
The password must have 8 ASCII printable characters at minimum and 15 at maximum.
Independently if it is successful or not, each attempt to connect and to change a password will
be written into the Activity Log. This Activity Log can be requested by the operator.
Note:
When changing the OS (NMS) password via the LCT, the operator has to update the new
password manually in the DCN properties of the Network Element Controller (NEC).
If this is not done, any new initialization of NEC will fail.

16.51 How to Replace an MMC and/or the SCOH

The MMC must be exchanged in case of an Flash SW alarm at the SCOH card, see
Equipment Alarms in the Alarm Names, Severities and Remedial Actions list.
The replacement of a defect MMC by a new one (with no data), must be done with an
operating SCOH.
The current NE-VCDB is being copied automatically to the new MMC.
The password data, license and subrack label are not automatically transformed to the MMC.
To adopt these data to the new MMC, they must be inserted via the LCT again.
If an SCOH is replaced, the old MMC (placed at the front panel of the SCOH) must be
adopted before the new SCOH is inserted. The MMC data belongs always to the subrack!
Passwords, license and subrack label are set to default after an SCOH reboot.
Also the NE-VCDB is being lost after a PowerOff (pulling out the SCOH).
Note:
The SCOH contains a backup battery. See the ITMN manual how to activate and handle that
battery.
