Management System” as below:

Note: When installing the software, the operating system will have some DLL file

errors. Those error messages were caused by the dynamic link library registration.

Please ignore the error messages and click "OK" button to continue. The error

messages will not affect the software installation and use.

2. Software Operation

2.1 Running Network Management Software

First, make sure that computer's serial port is connected to CPU board NMP

interface. Double-click the Icon "GUI Management System" to run.

2.2 Login Network Management Software

After running the software, the login interface will appear (Username

“administrator” and no Password). In the optional management interface (Manager

Type), select In-band Network-Manager or SNMP Manager.

User can also click "change password (UpdatePsw (R))" button for password change.

Follow the original prompt to input old password and new password.

Note:

1. In-band Net-Manager: CPU card NM Control interface (DB9) needs to connect with

PC Serial Port.

2. SNMP Manager: SNMP interface (RJ45) at the rear panel of ERM-MUX-PLUS needs to

connect with PC Ethernet port.

3. Click “OK”, the system will first run a “system initialization”, as shown below, click

"OK" to enter the system

2.3 Registration

When you first run the software, the software version is "unregistered".

The below Register Succeed window will be shown when you register successfully.

Note: The unregistered version of the software will have the limitation on the usage

of the time, but the function will not be limited.

2.4 Edit Network Topology

When users login the system for the first time, you must construct the network

topology by adding the devices into network management system. The network

management system shown as below:

1. Click on “Net-Structure" to edit Net Structure. There is a device selection on

your left hand side. When you move the cursor above the devices, the name

of the device will show up. Click on “MUX/PLUS-V4” shown as below:

3. Configure the parameters for the properties of new device. When finishing,

click “OK”. Then, click on “Net-Structure” from Main menu and select “Save

Net-Structure”. Once the parameters are saved successfully, the screen

appears as follows:

2.5 Device Configuration

2.5.1 Overall Device Configuration

2.5.1.1 Host Configuration

Double-click the device graphic for further configuration. The GUI graphic shows the

same physical device and display real-time LED for Data transmission conditions.

Move cursor to display: LED name, line card name. Double-click the left mouse

button on the line card for configuration, the GUI graphic shown as follows:

2.5.1.2 BERT Test

In Main Frame GUI graphic interface, click on "BERT Test". Then, the BERT Test

window will pop up. This BERT Test function can help users to test the quality of E1

link.

Users can choose the E1 channel for the test. Test methods include online testing and

offline testing. Options for “TestPattern”, “TestPeriod”, “ErrorInsert” are available for

selection in pull-down menu. Click “Test Start” to run the test. The BERT Test

Window shown as follows:

Note:

Off-line tests are used by remote loopback. Therefore, if you use loopback test in E1

time slot for network management, the device will lose remote CPE management

access.

2.5.1.3 Clock mode

The Device Clock modes have Internal Clock, IO Clock, G703, E1A1～E1A8 Recovery

Clock.

2.5.1.4 E1 Backup

There are two types of E1 Backup: Line Card backup and E1 Channel backup. E1A and

E1B are line card backup. E1A line card provides E1 channel backup. Users can select

E1 backup from “E1 backup mode” in the device:

1. Disable － Disable channel backup mode

2. Double Tx/Rx － Channel backup Double Tx/Rx mode. E1A slot channel

symmetry provides channel backup. Take 8E1 card in E1A slot for example. If

users select Double Tx/Rx mode, then E1A1 and E1A5 backup each other,

E1A2 and E1A6 backup each other, E1A3 and E1A7 backup each other and

E1A4 and E1A8 backup each other.

2.5.1.5 Network Timeslot

Network Timeslot is used to transmit network management data. The transmit

direction of each level device can be configured as UP or DOWN. Network Timeslot

can use any unused timeslot for data transmission. It is suggested that using the

same Timeslot number. For Example, using TS31.

UP（Upload）Network information channel can only be configured in E1A1 mode.

After setting up Network Timeslot, the message window below will pop up:

2.5.1.6 Device time

Please adjust the time of the device. The system provides time to the device

according to network management PC system time to make sure that Network

management log time is the same as network management PC’s date and time.

2.5.1.7 Parameter Backup

Users can backup the configured parameters. By default, parameters are backup to

the directory of ERM-MUX/PLUS file (or user-assigned directory) and saved. Users

can click on the device in the network topology for back up. In the right button

function of the mouse “Recovery device parameter setup”, users can restore the

saved device configuration.

2.5.1.8 Default Parameter

Set the device to factory default settings. This will release all time slots of the IO card.

2.5.2 IO Card Configuration

2.5.2.1 E1 Card Configuration

Double Click“8×E1”card, and then enter 8×E1card interface configuration. The E1

card configuration shown as follows:
