ProvisioningBasic provisioning of a
MXKManagement address

• Before any unit can be added to ZMS a management
  address needs to be set!
• ZMS supports all IP management connections
• Inband management (using a VLAN on a trunk port)
• Outband management (using the 10/100 MGMT port)
• IPoBridge management (using a VLAN on a trunk
  port)
• ZMS can not manage a unit using only the serial
  craft port

6
ProvisioningBasic provisioning of a MXKAdd node

• To add a manageable unit, either manually specify
  the address or use auto-discovery
• Select region, then right-click and select Add
  and enter the address

7
ProvisioningBasic provisioning of a MXKAdd node

• ZMS will ask for confirmation to begin the
  configuration synchronization
• The synchronization will take longer time if the
  unit is already configured

8

12
ProvisioningBasic provisioning of a MXKAdd card

• ZMS will auto-detect the type of card installed
  in the slot, click the right arrow to continue,
  then Add then OK and finally Close
• Iterate this step for all cards in the system
• Monitor the node, the cards status will be
  reflected under Cards

13
ProvisioningBasic provisioning of a MXKAlarm
status bar

• All current alarms will be visible in the bottom
  part of the ZMS main screen
• Alarms can be acknowledged by an operator
• Notes can be added to the alarm in case more than
  one operator is looking into the issue
• Alarms can be forwarded to an specific operator

14
ProvisioningBasic provisioning of a MXKAlarms

• As all interfaces are up by default
• For a newly installed MXK a number of critical
  alarms will be active (since there are ports open
  but not connected)
• On the network map, a callout with 1C means one
  critical alarm
• To view the alarms, right-click the region on the
  left pane, then click View Alarms - this will
  show all active alarms in the region
• Right-clicking a unit and selecting View alarms
  will show alarms for the selected node

15
ProvisioningBasic provisioning of a MXKClearing
alarms

• Right-click the first alarm, then select Navigate
  to tree, this will open up the object (node,
  card, port etc) currently sending the alarm

16
ProvisioningBasic provisioning of a MXKClearing
alarms

• On the newly provisioned unit, we will down OLT
  2,3 and 4 since they are not operational
• Shift-select (click OLT4, hold SHIFT and click
  OLT2) the three OLTs
• Right-click the selected group, then select
  Modify

17
ProvisioningBasic provisioning of a MXKClearing
alarms

• This will open a dialog window with all
  parameters common for the three ports
• Right-click in a whitespace inside the dialog,
  select Clear All
• For the parameter Admin Status, check the
  checkbox marked Change?
• Set the value of Admin Status to Down
• Click Modify, then Close
• The alarms should now be cleared
• Reiterate this procedure for any port open but
  not in use

18
ProvisioningBasic provisioning of a
MXKRight-click node menu

• Right-clicking a node allows you to

Command Description

19
ProvisioningBasic provisioning of a MXKTemplates

• ZMS supports templates which streamline
  provisioning
• Templates are available for
• Bridge interfaces
• Packets rules
• Traffic descriptors
• GTPs
• Different physical ports
• Instead manually repeat the configuration, a
  template is applied on an object
• Allows for rapid creation of objects
• User-definable templates

20
ProvisioningBasic provisioning of a MXKTemplates

• Example
• Bridge interface template Data applied to a
  range of bridge interfaces no need to repeat
  configuration on each interface

MXKStatistics

• Statistics are provided both for physical ports
  (Ethernet, SHDSL/EFM GPON ONU) as well as the
  logical ports (Bridge interfaces, bond-group,
  Link aggregation groups)
• Select the object, then either right-click
  selecting Statistics or click the statistics icon
  
• Different interfaces provides different
  statistics, for example
• EFM bond-group RX/TX traffic, unicast, multicast
  and broadcast
• SHDSL/EFM port DSL statistics, CRC, SNR, RX/TX
  packets
• GPON ports RX/TX packets, BIP8 errors

  tool
• Applicable on the node or on a specific port or
  bond-group
• Bridge provisioning can be simplified using
  templates
• Bridge provisioning normally involves creating
  minimum two bridge-interface one facing the
  network core and one facing the customer
