Remote equipment list (info) Each equipment has a remote equipment list stored in its own controller. With remote equipment list we mean a list containing all the network remote equipment which you wish to connect to. For a better vision of the equipment during the setting of the list, it is possible to subdivide the equipment into stations, in such a way that, at the selection of a station, the application will display only the detail of the equipment associated with such a specific station. The station does not have any particular meaning; it has been simply introduced to help the user during the localization of the equipment. Into each remote equipment list, it is possible to create a maximum of 100 equipment and 30 station. The remote equipment list can be used to connect, at the same time, to more equipment only if the program WEB LCT is available. When the user requests the connection to a generic equipment present into the network (local equipment), at the connection of such equipment, the WEB LCT program reads its remote equipment list and automatically forwards the connection command to all pieces of equipment present into the list. In such a way, the application displays, into the Station List area of the WEB LCT window, all the stations that group the equipment and, into the Equipment List area (selecting the relevant station), it displays the functional status of the local equipment (that results in connected/login status) and the functional status of all the remote equipment present into the list. The equipment that have answered to the connection request of the application will result in connected/monitor status. The application will cyclically forward the connection command, to the equipment that have not answered to the connection request, until to: •
It is deactivated the connection with the local equipment.
•
The user disables the equipment.
•
The equipment is deleted from the remote equipment list of the local equipment.
More information concerning the WEB LCT program are reported into the relevant manuals.

Graphical representation of the measure results. This area displays, in graphical format, the results of the control parameters of the selected measure/measurement unit. Every bar represents the result of the measure of one parameter in a given observation period (daily or primary record). The position of the bar on the x-axis indicates the daily or primary record which it is referred to: •
C.D. Current daily record (24 hours). The X100 suffix indicates that the value must be multiplied by 100 to obtain the real measured value.
•
L. D. Preceding daily record. The displayed value must be multiplied by 100 to obtain the real measured value.
•
Curr. 15 Min. Current primary record (15 minutes).
•
15 Min. ÷ 4 Hours. 16 preceding primary records (each record is of 15 minutes).
Moreover, for every record the relevant status is displayed: (ML), (MF), (IN), (LO), (RE). The description of every single status is reported in the following note. If the status indication is not present, the record is not available, because the measure was not active during the considered observation period.

The colour of the bar indicates the control parameter that corresponds to the value. The key of the parameters and their colours is always pointed out above the graph. The displayed control parameters changes according to the selected measure/measuring unit (see note 3). The position on the y-axis indicates the value achieved by the parameter during the specific observation period (record). The measurement unit on the y-axis changes depending on the type of parameter represented in the graph. Moreover the y-scale dynamically changes depending on the entity of the represented values. The results relevant to a given parameter can be hidden selecting the parameter label located in the top part of the area (for example ). To display the parameter results again, select the label again. (5)
Table representation of the measure results. This area displays, in table format, the results of the control parameters of the selected measure/measurement unit. For every parameter, the result of the measure is pointed out relevant to a given observation period (daily or primary record): •
Type. According to the selected measure this field indicates: •
G828, RxPwr and TxPwr measures: Control parameters (see PM measures available).
•
ACM measure: Counters. One counter is foreseen for every ACM profile (see PM measures available). For every counter, the column of the specific observation period indicates (expressed in seconds) the number of times the counter is increased. Besides one counter per modulation, the following counters are foreseen: •
Unavailable. Number of seconds, within the specific observation period, for which the count has not been possible because the current ACM profile was not connected to the radio.
•
DownShift. Number of times the profile, during the specific observation period, has changed assuming a profile lower than the previous one.
•
UpShift. Number of times the profile, during the specific observation period, has changed assuming a profile higher than the previous one.
Into the table, the system does not point out the results relevant to all the counters. Such results have been subdivided according to the selected measure/measuring unit (see note 3). •
Curr. Day. Current daily record (24 hours).
•
Last Day. Preceding daily record.
•
Curr. 15 Min. Current primary record (15 minutes).
•
15 Min. ÷ 4 Hours. 16 preceding primary records (each record is of 15 minutes).
What just said is valid from the second row of the table on, because the first row indicates the status of the records (Count. Status): •
Meaningless (ML) (green). The record has been completely acquired and the measure is not affected by errors.
•
Meaningful (MF) (green). The record has been completely acquired and it detected some performance errors. If one or more alarms are active (see note 6) means that the counter(s) have exceeded their threshold value.
•
Incomplete (IN) (yellow). The record has not been completely acquired during the corresponding observation period. The measure starting record is always in this status. The daily record gets this status also when only one primary record of the corresponding day is in incomplete status. The daily record of the current date will be always an incomplete one because the daily records are acquired at 23.59 of each day.
•
•
Lost (LO) (red). The record has not reached the main controller of the equipment for instance because the corresponding peripheral card has been physically extracted before it could have forwarded the record itself or for generic hardware/software troubles. Restarted (RE) (red). The record has been lost after a reset of the equipment. When the equipment has a software restart and checks that the measure is activated for a certain measure point, all the record coupled with such a measure point will result in this status.

PM measures (info) A PM measure consists of recording, during a pre-defined time range (observation period), the values of specific parameters. Some threshold limits have been assigned to such control parameters (the setting of the thresholds can be changed). The exceeding of the threshold limit indicates a more or less serious degradation of the signal. This condition generates an alarm. The alarms relevant to the threshold exceeding are treated by the equipment and by the application as normal alarms. The only exception is that the alarm is not automatically reset at the return into the threshold limit but the user has to execute the reset of this kind of alarms. The control parameters under examination change according to the equipment type and to the measure type supported by that type of equipment. Usually, all the executed measures refer to ITU-T Recommendations (eg. G.828, etc.). The activation (and the deactivation) of the PM measures can be executed by the user. When it has been activated a PM measure, the equipment starts the storing of the values relevant to the control parameters. The results of the measures are sub-divided into records. Each record contains the values recorded into a specific time range (observation period). If at the end of the observation period, the measure has not yet been deactivated the system starts another observation period and so on until when the operator stops the measure. The equipment group the results of the PM measures into observation period of 15 minutes (primary records) and of 24 hours (daily records). The observation periods can not be synchronized with the instant when the measure is activated but such records refer, for the primary records, to the quarter of an hour (00.00, 00.15, 00.30, etc.) and, for the daily records, to the time 00.00 UTC (Universal Time, Coordinated). For instance, if a measure starts at 11.40, the first primary record will have as observation period the time 11.4011.45 (corresponding to the time range 11.3011.45), while the first daily record will have as observation period 11.4000.00. When the user requires the display of the results of the PM measures, the daily and primary records relevant to the running PM measures are displayed in the WEB LCT page of the equipment. For each type of measure, the equipment keeps stored the current records and also the last 16 primary records (corresponding to the last 4 hours) and the last daily one (corresponding to the preceding day). The preceding records are overwritten. When the operator stops a measure, the system stores the uncompleted current record. If the operator activates and deactivates the measure more times during the same observation period, the system will store the record that contains the results of the last executed measure. For instance if the measure has been activated at 9.02 and deactivated at 9.07, then it has been newly activated at 9.09, the record relevant to the observation period 9.009.15 will contain the results of the measures relevant to the period 9.099.15, while the ones relevant to the period 9.029.07 will not be stored. If equipment has some PM measures on progress and it is re-started up or turned off, when it will successively restarted or turned on the measures activated before the turning off will be automatically re-started. The records (primary and daily), relevant to the period when measure has been stopped, will result empty and when it has been reached the limit of 16 primary records and 1 daily one, they will overwrite the preceding records.

Wake Up functionality (info) The Wake Up functionality allows the user enabling the spontaneous forward, from the equipment to a remote server, of a SNMP trap for the notification of the equipment commissioning (Wake Up trap). Auto Discovery
This functionality has been implemented as help to the Auto Discovery modality available in the supervision systems NMS5UX-B and NMS5LX. The Auto Discovery mode has the purpose to point out new equipment in the network, not managed by the supervision system yet. More information about the Auto Discovery modality is reported in the relevant documentation. This chapter shows only the management of the Wake Up trap by the equipment. The implementation of the Wake Up functionality is the following. WEB LCT
Via WEB LCT application, it is possible: •
Define the IP address of the server where the supervision system, which the trap must be sent to (NMS IP Address option) is installed.
•
Define the time interval for which the trap must be sent, after which the sending of the trap is automatically disabled (Timeout option). If the value 0 is set for the Timeout option, the Wake Up trap will be sent until when the user manually disables it or the NMS server automatically disables it when intercepts it.
•
Activate and deactivate the sending of the trap. To activate the Wake Up functionality, it is necessary to set a valid value (different from 0.0.0.0) as IP address of the server (NMS IP Address option) and select the Enable option. To deactivate the functionality, it is necessary to select the Disable option or reset the NMS IP Address option (value 0.0.0.0).
When the Wake Up functionality is activated, the equipment starts sending the Wake Up trap every minute for the time interval defined by the user (Timeout option). For example, if the value 60 has been set as timeout, the trap is sent each 60 minutes. At the end of 60 minutes, the sending of the trap is automatically disabled. If, in the period when the sending of the trap is enabled, the supervision system intercepts the Wake Up notification records the presence of the new equipment in its database and disables the sending of the Wake Up trap by the equipment (trap switch-off).

Alarms management (info) The term alarm defines the fault signal generated by an error or malfunction of the equipment or of any component that composes it. The signals referring to any event that does not indicates a malfunction but a status change, an operation in progress or an operating indication are defined status signals. The term event defines every signal of status, detected alarm and cleared alarm. A maximum of 500 events are recorded in the equipment controller. When this limit is exceeded, each new event will overwrite the oldest event. Displaying alarms
The list of the current alarms is indicates in the Equipment status area. Enabling/disabling alarms
The equipment alarms can be disabled and re-enabled by the user according to the needs. Disabling an alarm means that, on the detection of the alarm itself, this is not registered in the equipment controller and, as consequence, is not communicated to a possible management program: as the alarm had never occurred. On the contrary, enabling an alarm (default condition) means that, when the alarm is detected, this is registered in the equipment controller and, if the forwarding of the relevant trap is enabled (see next item), the alarm is communicated to the management system and displayed in the current alarms and the history alarms. WARNING The enabling/disabling of the alarm is independent for each alarm and local to the equipment which the operation is executed for. This means that the setting must be executed for each alarm of each equipment.
Enabling/disabling traps
The trap is a message (in this case of detection or clearing of an alarm) spontaneously sent by the equipment to a possible external management system, for example NMS5UX-B/NMS5LX. The forwarding of the trap of each alarm can be disabled and re-enabled by the user according to his own needs. Disabling a trap means that, on the detection of the alarm, this is not registered in the equipment controller and, as consequence, is not communicated to a possible management program. On the contrary, enabling a trap (default condition) means that, on the detection of the alarm, this is registered in the equipment controller and communicated to the management system, which displays it in the current alarms and the history alarms. WARNING The enabling/disabling of the forwarding of the trap is independent for each alarm and local to the equipment which the operation is executed for. This means that the setting must be executed for each alarm of each equipment.
Alarm severity
Each alarm acknowledged and managed by the local management program has an associated severity which determinates the importance of the alarm. This severity is not fixed, but can be changed by the user as he likes. Alarms log
With log of the equipment alarms we mean the list of the status and alarm signals currently active on the equipment (current alarms) and the signals memorized in the equipment controller (alarm history). WEB LCT allows to Save the log of the equipment alarms and to Delete the log of the equipment alarms. See also

HTTP/HTTPS protocol (info) HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) is used to transfer hypertext pages within WEB. All HTTP traffic takes place via the TCP/IP protocol on port 80 of PC. HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol over SSL) is a variation of HTTP and uses, besides TCP/IP protocol, SSL layer (Secure Sockets Layer) which implements the encryption and the authentication of the transmitted data. All HTTPS traffic takes place on port 443 of PC. In web browsers, URI which refers to this technology is named https. For more information about RFC 2818 specification (HTTP Over TLS). AGS-20
Equipment can operate with HTTP protocol or HTTPS protocol. Protocols are implemented in exclusive mode in such a way that, when a user connects via HTTPS, HTTP requests will be re-addressed to HTTPS and vice versa. The use of the protocol HTTP and/or HTTPS at equipment level can be enabled in any moment (see Enable/disable the operating of a communication protocol). If the operator enables both the HTTP protocol and the HTTPS protocol, the system will automatically use the more secure protocol (HTTPS). The utilization of a protocol during a WEB LCT session depends even on the enabling state of the user, who has opened the session, in relation to the use of this protocol. The protocols enabled for one user depend on the group associated to the user (see Group/User Management). Example. If the user XY is associated to a group not enabled to the use of HTTPS protocol but only HTTP, this user can open the WEB LCT session only in HTTP mode even if the HTTPS protocol is enabled in the Services Status Config contextual area. In the same way, if the user XY is associated to a group enabled to the use of HTTPS and HTTP protocol, but the HTTPS protocol is disabled in the Services Status Config contextual area, the user XY can open the WEB LCT session in HTTP mode. As general rule, for the correct use of one protocol, it is necessary that the protocol is enabled to the use and that the user who opens the WEB LCT session is associated to a group enabled to the use of the same protocol. First time equipment is switched-on or after the restore of the Factory Default, equipment uses HTTP protocol. The protocol (HTTP or HTTPS) used to open the WEB CT page is defined at level of NMS system. HTTPS (AGS-20) - SSL certificate
Enabling HTTPS protocol is possible only if you have a digital certificate SSL for WEB Server. Main aim of this certificate is to authenticate the server (for example, AGS-20 equipment) at the customers’ (e.g., user PC where the WEB LCT page relevant to equipment is opened). SSL foresees that, on connection, the server provides its certificate; if the certificate is signed by a recognised certification Authority (Trusted certificates), then a secure communication can be started. From the physical point of view, the certificate is a file containing the information relevant to the issuing authority, to the subject of certificate and additional information indicating the use which the certificate has been released for. WARNING AGS-20 equipment is not provided with SSL certificates when it is put in field. Moreover, the restore of Factory Default deletes possible certificates already loaded on equipment.
How to get a SSL Trusted certificate
You can get a SSL certificate requiring it to a recognised certification authority (Certification Authority - CA), that is a public authority enable to the univocal emission of certificates. The Certification Authority ensures the identity of the owner of the certificate signing the public and private keys by its own private key. The procedure to request the certificate can change from CA to CA depending on the required information and on the procedure for the generation and the communication of the pair of key (see documentation of specific CA).
88
WEB LCT AGS-20 - Release 1.1 - MN.00327.E - 002
Generally, all CA’s will require to provide a CSR (Certificate Signing Request), that is a request containing the data which shall be certificated. To generate the CSR of an equipment see Generate the Certificate Signing Request for an equipment. The generation of CSR includes also the generation of a Private Key, which will not be included in CSR itself will be used only to sign the request of certificate. The information to include in CSR changes depending on the context for which you request the certification. CA will define which information is useful. In any case the name/address of server (Common Name), which you require the certificate for, will be required. For the generation of SSL certificates relevant to AGS-20 equipment, the Common Name of the certificate must correspond to the IP address of the equipment for which you wish to use the certificate (for more information, see Certificate license - AGS-20 hereinafter in the chapter). With IP address we mean the address entered in the URL of the browser to open the page WEB LCT. As result of the certification request, CA will provide the file relevant to final SSL certificate. This file must be loaded on the equipment (see Download the SSL certificate in an equipment). SSL UnTrusted certificates - AGS-20
It is possible to create, and load on the equipment, certificates self-generated by the user (e.g. via OpenSSL). The self-signed certificates (UnTrusted certificates) are not generally considered trustworthy by browsers. They are useful for verification purpose, but the standard use of them does not ensure the security of server-client connection. To ensure the security within an equipment network, it is necessary to use certificates signed by a certification authority (Trusted certificates). Certificate license - AGS-20
The certificate license is valid for only one piece of equipment, because SSL certificates are specific with respect to the Common Name for which they are required and released. During the authentication of a server (equipment) at a client (user PC), one of the first executed check consists in comparing the value of the field Common Name present in the certificate with the URL of the web page you are opening. The equipment WEB LCT page is opened at URL //. This involves that the Common Name of the certificate must correspond to the equipment IP address. So, if you wish to migrate a whole network of AGS-20 equipment from HTTP protocol to HTTPS protocol, it is necessary to have a SSL certificate for every equipment where the relevant Common Name corresponds to the equipment IP address. Certificate expiry - AGS-20
Generally, SSL certificates have a quite long expiry. When the certificates on the equipment expiry, they must be replaced with new valid certificates by means of the procedures Generate the Certificate Signing Request for an equipment and Download the SSL certificate in an equipment. How to implement the protocol HTTPS - AGS-20
In summary, the operations to perform in order to implement the use of the protocol HTTPS on AGS-20 equipment are the following: • •
Open the WEB LCT page of the equipment for which you wish to generate the request of the certificate (CSR). Generate the Certificate Signing Request for an equipment. During this operation, set the IP address of the equipment indicated in the URL of the WEB page to Common Name. The system, besides generating the CSR, will send the private RSA key to the equipment.
•
Copy the CSR and paste it to a text file.
•
Send the CST to the chosen CA.
•
When CA will send the file containing the SSL certificate signed, load it to the equipment (see Download the SSL certificate in an equipment).
WEB LCT AGS-20 - Release 1.1 - MN.00327.E - 002
89
•
Verify that the group, which the user used to open the HTTPS session with the equipment is associated to, is enabled. Otherwise, it is necessary to enabled him (see Groups contextual area/Users contextual area).
•
Verify that the protocol HTTPS at equipment level is enabled, otherwise it is necessary to enable it (see Services Status Config contextual area).
SSL and TLS protocol
The protocols SSL (Secure Socket Layer) and TLS (Transport Layer Security) are encryption protocols which allow a secure communication in TCP/IP networks. As indicated at the beginning of the chapter, the protocol HTTPS is a variation of HTTP which uses the SSL level for the encryption and the authentication of the transmitted data. In order to do this, the protocols SSL/TLS use three main functionalities: •
Authentication. The authentication of the identity in the connections can be executed using the encryption with public key (e.g., RSA, DSS etc.).
•
Security. In order to ensure a secure connection between two users involved in a communication, the data are protected using encryption algorithms with symmetric key (e.g., DES, RC4, etc.).
•
Reliability. The transport level includes a check on the integrity of the message based on a proper MAC (Message Authentication Code) which uses secure hash functions (e.g., SHA, MD5 etc.). In this way, you can verify that the data transmitted between client and server have not been altered during the transmission.
SSL and TLS protocol - AGS-20
AGS-20 equipment uses the protocol TLS version 1. The user can choose, from the list of CipherSuite, the combination of encryption algorithms supported by the client, sorted according his preferences. In detail, the list of CipherSuite indicates: •
The algorithm for the Key Exchange.
•
The CipherSpec containing the data encryption algorithm (Cipher) with the possible implementation characteristics and the algorithm for the Message Authentication Code (Hash).

SNMP protocol (info) The SNMP protocol is available in 3 versions: SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3. The main differences between SNMPv1/v2c and SNMPv3 are the management of message security and the control of the accesses. SNMPv1/v2c
The versions 1 and 2 of SNMP have the security model based on the community: messages are passed not-encrypted and can be copied or modified. SNMPv3
The version 3 of SNMP, instead, foresees a security model based on the user for the protection of the messages and the control of the access. In SMNMPv3, every user has his own authentication password and encryption password for the packets. In order to authenticate the packets, SNMPv3 utilizes the HMAC-MD5 or HMAC-SHA1 algorithm. The secret key used to calculate the HMAC code is the user password; in order to be authenticated, the packet must contain even the user name besides the HMAC code. Moreover, the SNMPv3 protocol foresees the possibility to cipher the part of the packet containing the OID of the MIB objects and the relevant values using the cipher algorithm DES56; the key used for the cipher procedure is different from the key used for HMAC authentication. This allows defining if allowing the user an access: •
Without authentication (noAuthNoPriv).
•
With authentication (AuthNoPriv).
•
With authentication and encryption (AuthPriv).
For more information, refer to RFC 3410, 3411, 3412, 3413, 3414, 3415, 3584 specifications. AGS-20
The equipment can work with SNMPv1/v2c protocol and with SNMPv3 protocol. In order to preserve the security, SNMPv3 protocol must be used. The use of the protocol SNMPv1/v2c and/or SNMPv3 can be enabled at equipment level in any moment (see Enable/disable the operating of a communication protocol). The use of a protocol during a WEB LCT session, however, depends on the enabling state of the use of this protocol by the user who has opened the session. The protocols enabled for a user depend on the group associated to the user (see Backup/Restore Config.). Example. If the user XY is associated to a group enabled to the use of the protocol SNMPv3, a WEB LCT session opened by the user XY will accept and process only SNMPv3 packets; the received SNMPv1/v2c packets will be dropped. In analogous way, if the user YZ is associated to a group enabled to the use of the protocol SNMPv2c, a WEB LCT session opened by the user YZ will accept and process only SNMPv1/v2c packets. As general rule, for the correct use of one protocol, it is necessary that the protocol is enabled to the use and that the user who opens the WEB LCT session is associated to a group enabled to the use of the same protocol. First time equipment is switched-on or after the restore of the Factory Default, equipment uses SNMPv1/v2c protocol. Tab.3 displays, for every SNMP version, the security levels (noAuthNoPriv, AuthNoPriv, AuthPriv) supported by the equipment and the description of the provided security mechanisms.

FTP/SFTP protocol (info) FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) are two protocols for the file transfer based on TCP. Main difference between FTP and SFTP is the management of security. The FTP protocol does not foresee the data encryption, while the SFTP protocol is based on SSH protocol for the data encryption and the secure file transfer. AGS-20
The equipment can be used for the file transfer (download/upload) the FTP protocol or the SFTP protocol. The use of the protocol FTP and/or SFTP can be enabled in any moment (see Enable/disable the FTP and/or SFTP protocol). If the operator enables the protocols FTP and SFTP at the same time, the system will automatically use the most secure protocols (SFTP). The utilization of a protocol during a WEB LCT session depends even on the enabling state of the user, who has opened the session, in relation to the use of this protocol. The protocols enabled for one user depend on the group associated to the user (see Group/User Management). Example. If the user XY is associated to a group not enabled to the use of the protocol SFTP, even if the protocol SFTP is enabled in the Ftp/Sftp contextual area, the file transfer between PC and equipment during a WEB LCT session opened by XY will take place via FTP. In the same way, if the user XY is associated to a group not enabled to the use of the protocol SFTP, but the protocol SFTP is not enabled in the context area Ftp/Sftp, the file transfer between PC and equipment during a WEB LCT session opened by XY will take place via FTP. As general rule, for the correct use of one protocol, it is necessary that the protocol is enabled to the use and that the user who opens the WEB LCT session is associated to a group enabled to the use of the same protocol. When the equipment is switched-on for the first time after the restore of the Factory Default setting or after the recovery of the whole equipment configuration from file (see Backup/Restore Config.), the equipment uses the FTP protocol. The management of the protocol for the file transfer (FTP or SFTP) between NMS and equipment is defined at NMS level and, for the current system version, is always FTP. FTP protocol- AGS-20
The default FTP credentials of the equipment are: user Anonymous, no password. The FTP credentials can be changed at one’s wish (see Modify the FTP access credentials). The change of FTP credentials is valid only for the current WEB LCT session. When the WEB LCT page will be re-opened, the default credentials will be used. The program SCT/LMT or WEB Lct Console must be used as help for the WEB LCT application, in order to manage the FTP protocol. The instructions for the installation and use of the SCT/LMT and Web Lct Console are reported in the relevant manuals. To manage the FTP protocol, as tool auxiliary to WEB LCT application, it is necessary to install and run one of the following programs: •
Web Lct Console version 1.2.0 or later. When the program is started, the FTP server provided with the program itself is automatically started. The server does not perform any check on the credentials. For the download operations, it is sufficient to enter the complete path where the file resides. At start-up of WLC, if a FTP Server is already active, the FTP server available with the program is not started. This condition is signalled by a message.
•
Standard FTP Server (e.g., free FTP Server FileZilla). If you use your own FTP Server, it must be installed and configured if not already present on the PC. The configuration consists in defining the users and the path (Shared Folder) used later for the file transfer.
WEB LCT AGS-20 - Release 1.1 - MN.00327.E - 002
93
USERS. For a correct management of the data transfer, the credential used to access to WEB LCT page must be the same configured for the FTP Server. For this reason, it is suggested to configure, for the FTP Server, the users present in the equipment user list with whom the download/upload operations are executed. PATH. Define the path of Shared Folder for the file transfer. The path will be used to save the files in the upload operations and shall be the path (even partial) where are present the files for the download operations. It is suggested not to save the files in C:\, but to create a sub-folder and set it for the file saving (e.g. C:\ftp or C:\backup). This allows saving the backup files without being Administrator users (some Windows versions require to be Administrator user to save the file in C:\). SFTP protocol - AGS-20
The default SFTP credentials are the same used by the user to access to the WEB LCT page. The SFTP credentials can be changed at one’s wish (see Modify the SFTP access credentials. For a correct management of the data transfer, the SFTP credentials shall correspond to the user (or to one of the users) defined during the installation of the SSH server. The change of credentials is valid only for the current WEB LCT session. When the WEB LCT page will be re-opened, the default credentials will be used. As help for the WEB LCT application in order to manage the protocol SFTP, it is necessary to install and configure a SSH server (see Installation and configuration of SSH server). See also

SSH protocol (info) SSH (Secure SHell) protocol allows implementing secure connections between two system, using a client/ server architecture. SSH protocol is available in two versions: version 1 (SSH1) and version 2 (SSH2). Documents defining the protocol can be found at http://www.ietf.org. AGS-20
The equipment can operate with protocol SSH1 and/or SSH2. Besides the selection of the protocol version, it is possible to define the authentication and encryption algorithms managed by the equipment. These configurations can be executed by CLI (application SM-OS): refer to CLI for more information. By means of WEB LCT, the use of the protocol SSH can be enabled/disabled (see Enable/disable the operating of a communication protocol). For the correct use of the protocol SSH, it is necessary that the user, who opens the WEB LCT session, is associated to a group enabled to the use of the protocol itself (see Group/User Management). When the equipment is switched-on for the first time after the restore of the Factory Default setting or after the recovery of the whole equipment configuration from file (see Backup/Restore Config.), the SSH protocol is disabled (SSH2 version).

The user list is a list of the users who can connect and require to login to the equipment by the WEB LCT application (WEB user) or the NMS5UX-B/NMS5LX program (SNMP user). If an user is not present in the list stored in the equipment controller, that user cannot connect and/or login to the that equipment. Users are subdivided into groups (for details, see successive paragraphs). Before creating an user, it is necessary to create the group which the user must be associated to. One group can contain more users, but one specific user can belong to only one group. A maximum of 10 groups and 10 users can be created in the equipment user list. At the first connection with the equipment or after a Factory Default operation, a default group and a default user are available. Then, through WEB LCT application, new users and groups can be created, modified and deleted. The management of the user list can be performed even by NMS5UX-B/NMS5LX system. Groups
The users belonging to the list are organized in groups for which it is possible to define a profile and the enabling to the use of HTTP, HTTPS, SNMP, FTP, SFTP e SSH protocols. The profile and the authorization of a group will be automatically assigned to the user who is associated to that group. The characteristics of a group are: •
Name of the group. The name of the group must be unique within an user list.
•
Profile which will be automatically assigned to the users associated to the group:
The name of the group, once assigned, cannot be changed. •
Administrator. The user with this profile can both verify the parameters and send commands or change the equipment configuration with no exception. Moreover, every user belonging to a group with profile Administrator, besides being a WEB user, is even a CLI user because a user with profile Administrator is automatically enabled by the system to access to the equipment even by the application SM-OS (Siae Microelettronica - Operating System).
•
•
Read/Write. The user with this profile can as check the parameters as send commands or execute changes to the equipment configuration except for the following operations: modifying the user list, aligning the date/time of the equipment, force the logout of a user and all those operations available only to the Admin. user.
•
Maintenance. The user with this profile can check the parameters and execute only maintenance operations (MAN OP) in the Manual Operations contextual area.
•
Read Only. The user with this profile can only check the parameters.
Protocols which will be available to the users assigned to the group: •
Protocol HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol), used to transfer hypertext pages on the WEB.
•
Protocol HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol over SSL): variation of HTTP protocol and uses, besides TCP/IP protocol, SSL layer (Secure Sockets Layer) which implements the encryption and the authentication of the transmitted data.
•
Protocol SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol), which allows monitoring and controlling the network device. The user can activate the use of the first version (SNMPv1), the second version (SNMPv2c) or the third version (SNMPv3) of the protocol.
•
Protocol FTP (File Transfer Protocol), for the file transfer based on TCP.
•
Protocol SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol): protocol for the secure file transfer.
•
Protocol SSH (Secure SHell Protocol): protocol for the secure and encrypted access.
More options can be enabled at the same time. At the first connection with the equipment or after a Factory Default operation, a default group is available with the following characteristics: Name: Admin. Profile: Administrator.
102
WEB LCT AGS-20 - Release 1.1 - MN.00327.E - 002
Enabled protocols: HTTP, FTP and SNMPv1. The default group can be changed but not deleted. Via WEB LCT application, the user can Verify the user groups and only one user with Administrator profile can Add a user group, Modify a user group or Delete a user group. Users
The users belonging to the list are organized in groups for which a profile and the enabling to the use of the HTTP, HTTPS, SNMP, FTP, SFTP and SSH protocols can be defined. The profile and the authorization of a group will be automatically assigned to the user who is associated to that group. The characteristics of an user are: •
Name/Password. Name and access password, which allow the program recognizing the user as authorized. The same user can open more WEB LCT page relevant to different equipment. The name of an user must be unique within an user list. The name of an user, once assigned, cannot be changed.
•
Group which the user is associated to and from which the user inherits the profile and the enabling to the use of HTTP, HTTPS, SNMP, FTP, SFTP and SSH protocols. Every user belonging to a group with profile Administrator, besides being a WEB user, is even a CLI user because a user with profile Administrator is automatically enabled by the system to access to the equipment even by the application SM-OS SM-OS (Siae Microelettronica - Operating System).
•
Timeout of the WEB LCT session opened by the user. It is possible to: •
Disable the timeout: the WEB LCT session opened by the user (even if disconnected) will be preserved for an indefinite period of time.
•
Enable the timeout: the WEB LCT session opened by the user, if disconnected, will be automatically terminated once the set time period is reached. With disconnected session we mean a WEB LCT session for which the relevant WEB LCT page has been closed, but the disconnection from the equipment has not been performed (user logout).
At the first connection with the equipment or after a Factory Default operation, a default user is available with the following characteristics: User: admin Password: admin Group: Admin. (default group - see characteristics in previous paragraph). Profile: Administrator. Timeout: 300 sec. WARNING At the first access, it is suggested to immediately change the password of the default
user in order to limit the risk of intrusion via this account. The default user can be modified or deleted. The only condition is that there must be at least one other user with Administrator profile in the user list. Through WEB LCT application, the user can Verify the user list and, only an user with Administrator profile, Add a user, Modify a user or Delete a user. NMS5UX user
If the equipment is managed even by NMS5UX-B/NMS5LX supervision system, it is necessary to create the user used by the supervision system for the connection to the equipment. This user must be associated to a group with profile Administrator and all the protocols enabled. More information about the NMS5UX-B/NMS5LX supervision system is reported in the relevant documentation. See also

WEB LCT AGS-20 - Release 1.1 - MN.00327.E - 002
Radio Link (info) AGS-20 equipment manages different types of Radio Links. With Radio Link we mean a connection between one or more ports (IF) of the indoor unit (AGS-20) and one or more outdoor units (ODU) which are considered one or more integral parts of AGS-20 network equipment. A Radio Link can have different configurations: 1+0, 1+1 HSB, 1+1 FD and 2+0 XPIC. Two Radio Links in configuration 1+0 can be oriented to two different sites (configuration 2x(1+0) E-W) or to a single site (configuration 2x(1+0). In the latter case, the Ethernet traffic of the two Radio Links has to be necessarily aggregated. Even in case of configuration 2+0 XPIC, the Ethernet traffic has to be necessarily aggregated. In all the configurations, the ODU’s are always connected to the IDU’s through a dedicated channel available via IF cables. The management programs access to the ODU’s only through the IDU controller, this means that IDU and ODU are always seen as a single network element. The creation of the Radio Link must be executed by the operator via WEB LCT (see Create a Radio Link). Once created, a Radio Link can be changed or deleted (see Modify a Radio Link and Delete a Radio Link). Tab.4 shows, for each configuration of the Radio Link (native or system), the types of AGS-20 for which it is available. 1+0
The Radio Link in configuration 1+0 uses a single ODU. In this configuration, the radio offers no protection against the hardware failures. 1+1 HSB - 1+1 FD
The Radio Link in configuration 1+1 uses two ODU’s. In this configuration, the radio module offers protection against the hardware failures. The protection logic supports two protection architectures: •
Frequency Diversity (FD). Two parallel Tx-Rx connections using two different frequencies. Both Tx branches are working; in Rx the best of the received signals is used.
•
Hot Stand-By (HB). Two parallel Tx-Rx connections. One Tx is operating while the second Tx is "mute"; in Rx the best of the received signals is used.
2x(1+0)
The equipment in radio configuration 2x(1+0) uses two ODU’s connected to the same site. In this configuration, two different Radio Links in configuration 1+0 have to be defined, which use two different frequencies. The two Radio Links have to be necessarily aggregated by means of the functionality Physical Layer Aggregation in such a way to create a single Bundle routed into the same direction (see Aggregate the Radio ports of a Link). The radio parameters can be independent and the TDM traffic can be managed separately on both the radio links. 2x(1+0) E-W
The equipment in radio configuration 2x(1+0) E-W uses two ODU’s connected with two different sites. In this configuration, two different Radio Links in configuration 1+0 must be defined. The radio signal is forwarded in two different directions named, by convention, East and West. The radio parameters (modulation, bandwidth, channel frequency) are completely independent and the traffic (TDM and Ethernet) is managed separately on both the radio links.
WEB LCT AGS-20 - Release 1.1 - MN.00327.E - 002
123
2+0 XPIC
The Radio Link in configuration 2+0 XPIC uses two ODU’s connected to the same site which transmit on two polarizations of one antenna using the same frequency (functionality XPIC Cross Polarization Interference Cancellation). In this configuration, one Radio Link in configuration 2+0 XPIC. The two ODU’s have to be necessarily aggregated by means of the functionality Physical Layer Aggregation in such a way to create a single Bundle routed into the same direction (see Aggregate the Radio ports of a Link).

XPIC function (info)
XPIC function
The function XPIC (Crosspolar Interference Canceller) is a modem functionality which allows using the double polarization (vertical and horizontal) in the transmission system. In this way, exploiting two polarizations, the transmission capacity of the Radio Link can be double using a single frequency. WEB LCT
In relation to XPIC function, through GUI it is possible: •
To disable temporarily the function XPIC for every single ODU (Disable temporarily the function XPIC for a single ODU) and then to re-enable it (Restore the XPIC function of the single ODU). Disabling the function XPIC is a manual operation (MAN. OP). Remember that, if the timeout of the manual operations is inactive, the function XPIC remains disabled until when it is restored by the user.
•
To enable and disable XPIC fault management procedure (FMP) (see Enable/disable XPIC fault management procedure (FMP). In case of detection and signalling of a fault, the function XPIC can be restored (see Restore the function XPIC after a fault detection).
FMP procedure
Purpose of the FMP (Fault Management Procedure) procedure is to identify a malfunction caused by equipment faults and by equipment faults and to preserve the horizontal or vertical branch where there are not problems The procedure differentiates the alarms due to external causes (e.g., fading) from those due to equipment faults. The activation of the FMP procedure involves the switch-off of a transmitter and the disabling of the Xpic inputs. The condition is permanent and only an operator by means of WEB LCT or NMS5UX-B/ NMS5LX can restore the normal operating condition. See also
