This page has important information. Please read it carefully, and note down the IP address that appears on the above comment. You will be required to change the IP address of your Laptop after you read this page. Make sure that the IP address that you have entered during the Installation Mode is the same as displayed on this page. You will need it, to gain access to this node again.
Close the I.E browser and open it again, after you have set the new IP address on your laptop. Enter the new IP address in the address bar. You will get a login prompt. Enter User id: control_user and Passwd: ericsson This will display the current page with a AMM Setup. Make sure that you see all the Cards that are inserted in the Magazine.
Once you Log-in to the system , you will come to this Home Page, where you can see the Magazine Layout.
Once you are at this screen, it is advisable to connect to the MMU with RS-232 cable and do the commissioning for the MMU and RAU. For this you will have to launch the MSM 6.3 application. Configure the Hop as you would do for a normal ML-E Hop. Perform this activity for all the MMU in that Magazine.
* Traffic Routing should be strictly done after this activity only !!!!
For Traffic Routing press the Configuration Tab on the menu-bar
Once you log-in you will come to the
In the Configuration Window , select the Traffic Routing tab
Select Two different cards here. One card on each axis; so that Traffic routing can be done between those two cards. After selecting one card on each Axis press List View.
Here u will see the available free E1s on each card. Select one E1 on each axis to create a connection between them. Press Create . You will be prompted to enter a Name for the Cross-connection that you have done. Repeat this process for each connection that you need to do. Once the connections are made you will see them here
Remember, all the cross-connections are at E1 level only 1.
Connections to NPU card are to be done only when you want to extract the traffic out of the Traffic node and terminate somewhere else. OR – if you want to input Traffic to any MMU.
2.
When you want to make a traffic through from one direction to other, the connections are to be made directly between two MMUs, and not via the NPU card.
3.
When you select the cards for making cross-connections the naming nomenclature is “ MMU2 4-34 1/2 ”; which implies it is MMU card in Traffic Node Magazine :1 and it is located on slot-2.
4.
NPU card should always be installed on slot-7. So you will see the label for NPU as NPU 8x2 1/7 in the Traffic Routing window.
5.
Depending on the Traffic Capacity of the MMU, you will see the Number of free E1s available for cross-connections in Interface List View window, for that specific card “NPU /MMU” .
1.
E1 naming convention is E1 1/2/1 1.1.2 which implies, E1 of 1st magazine, card on slot-2 , baseband-1 of that card and 1.1.2 is the E1 number, which is 2nd E1 of that band. E.g. E1 1/3/1 1.4.4 implies, magazine –1, card on slot-3 , baseband-1, and E1: 16th of that band.
2.
Depending on the Traffic capacity of the card, you will see the number of available free E1s for cross-connections. The naming convention is self-explanatory.
3.
Connections can be renamed or deleted as well.
