Funea NEC-E

The NEC-E module is a controller used to manage, supervise and control other modules in one chassis.

About

The Funea NEC-E connector is able to create virtual connectors for different module types. For more information on the supported modules, refer to the Notes section below. These virtual connectors represent the devices inside a chassis. They also make it possible for users to monitor and configure the devices as if they were using the web interface.

Installation and configuration

Creation

This connector uses a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) connection and requires the following input during element creation:

SNMP CONNECTION:

  • IP address/host: The polling IP of the device, e.g., 10.11.12.13.

SNMP Settings:

  • Port number: The port of the connected device, by default 161.
  • Get community string: The community string in order to read from the device. The default value is public.
  • Set community string: The community string in order to set to the device. The default value is private.

When the element is created, it can take several minutes before everything is initialized. The devices in the chassis are automatically detected and their connectors are also automatically created. If a device's module is not supported, then no connector is created.

For more information on which modules are supported, refer to the Notes section.

Usage

Device Overview

The given table serves as a summary for the chassis. It shows which devices are present and which slot they use. Their Status, Alias Name and Software Release are also available.

Status

The Status Table gives a summary of all the errors that are present in the chassis. Every DVE has their own Status page specific for a device.

General Purpose I/O

It is possible to configure the description, mode and level of the 12 I/O ports of the NEC-E device. Six of these ports are general purpose inputs and six are general purpose inputs/outputs.

Event Log

The table keeps a record of all traps that were sent to the chassis. The record includes the type of alarm, date, time, which model was involved, serial number of the device and a short description of the event.

You can clear the event log table manually with a button, or enter a value in the maximum log entries, so that entries are automatically deleted when this threshold is crossed. This parameter has a value from 0 to 1000 and is by default 1000.

Event Mask

This page provides a summary of all possible alarming, both analog and discrete, and allows the user to activate alarming.

Server Properties

This page displays some general properties (e.g., Server Model, Serial Number, Date & Time, .). It is possible to reset the chassis and configure the Location City and Street.

The complete set of modifiable parameters is present in the NEC-E module.

Web Interface

Refers to the web interface of the chassis. Here it is also possible to configure the devices in the chassis.

Notes

It is possible that not all devices are supported. Devices are grouped in certain modules by their functionality. The currently supported modules are:

  • Electric Pre Amplifier (EPA)
  • Network Element Controller (NECE)
  • Optical Switches (OPS)
  • Optical Single Receivers (ORX1)
  • Optical Receivers with Max. 4 Optical Inputs (ORX4)
  • Dual Optical Transmitter (OTX2)
  • Direct Modulated Optical Transmitters (OTXD)
  • Optical Amplifiers (OVA)

If a device is shown in the Device Overview, but no element is created, this could be a sign that the limit of available elements in the DMA has been reached. Try to stop another element and create the Funea connector again. If no extra DVE element is created, this isn't the problem.

Not all alarm activation parameters (Event Mask page) are supported. It is not possible to program these parameters so that writable and non-writable parameters are separated.

EPA module

About

These are electric pre-amplifiers. Example devices: SVK68#.

Usage

The following pages are available:

  • Status: Displays whether or not there are alarms, warnings or notifications. Some of these are not available through SNMP, so there might be some differences with the statuses visible in the web interface.
  • Parameters: Monitors RF Input and Output and Device Temperature.
  • Voltages: Monitors the supply voltages.
  • Settings: Allows settings of different modes and parameters (e.g., Laser Frequency, RF gain,.). If Redundancy Mode is not supported, you cannot set to this mode.
  • Limits 1: Allows the configuration of the alarming of all parameters from the Parameters page.
  • Limits 2: Allows the configuration of the alarming of all parameters from the Voltages page.
  • Event Mask: Handles the (de-)activation of alarms, warnings and notifications for both analog and discrete values. Changing these values might take some time, because some rather large table transformations are involved. Note that not all alarm activation parameters are supported, as it is not possible to program these parameters so that writable and non-writable parameters are separated.
  • Properties: The General Information contains the device's Hardware Model, Alias Name and Software Release. It's possible that no Alias Name is available. There's also a button to Reset the module and a toggle button to make the LED of the device blink for 10 seconds.

NECE module

About

This is the management module for the whole chassis.

Usage

The following pages are available:

  • Status: Displays whether or not there are alarms, warnings or notifications. Some of these are not available through SNMP, so there might be some differences with the statuses visible in the web interface.
  • Server Administration: Allows the configuration of the device's IP Address, Netmask and Default Router.
  • SNMP Configuration: All SNMP configurations are done here. There are 4 trap receivers, with 2 trap communities. The first community is for trap receiver No. 1 and the second community for trap receiver No. 2-4.
  • Server Properties: In comparison to the server properties of the main element, this page is more elaborate. There are more general information parameters and only here it's possible to configure the date and time properties. There is also a reset specific for this module.

Notes

Be aware that writing a non-IP value in these parameters might cause problems. This is the case for the page Server Administration, many parameters of the SNMP Configuration and NTP Server in the Server Properties page.
