This chapter discusses how to use ViewRunner for HP OpenView to check system status and configuration information.
 | Caution Several sections in this chapter do not apply to Direct Connect configurations. These sections are marked accordingly. |
ViewRunner provides status and configuration information for the following areas of the Cisco 6100 Series system operation:
The following sections explain how to use ViewRunner to access status and
configuration information.
You access either status or configuration information on any Cisco 6100 Series entity, including the chassis itself, by selecting the desired Cisco 6100 Series system in ViewMap, then using the
View > 6100 Chassis menu option. Also, you can right click on the Cisco 6100 Series system in ViewMap and choose the View 6100 Chassis option from the menu.
All property dialog boxes contain both a Status and a Configuration tab from which you can
view status or configuration information respectively. The property dialog box for the ATU-C modules and LIMs contain port tabs that allow you to view the status or configuration of each port on that module.
Figure 8-1 shows the section of the Module Properties dialog box that contains the module, port, status, and configuration tabs. Property dialog boxes for other modules are similar.
The property dialog boxes for subscribers and pools show only the configuration of those entities rather than their status.
The status dialog boxes display the states associated with that entity with no operator-configurable fields. The configuration dialog boxes display the specific entity details and operator-
configurable fields.
Also, the status of the module and port is indicated by the color of the small icon adjacent to the
tab labels.
The 6100 Properties status and configuration dialog boxes show information about the current Cisco 6100 Series system and its attributes as provisioned.
To access the status of a Cisco 6100 Series chassis, follow these steps:
Step 1 In the 6100 Chassis View, place your cursor on either side of the Cisco 6100 Series chassis and click the right mouse button.
Step 2 From the menu, select the 6100 Properties > Status option. The window in
Figure 8-3 appears.
This window displays the current date and time. These values are set and modified on the 6100 Properties > Configuration dialog box discussed in the next section.
To access the configuration of a Cisco 6100 Series chassis, follow these steps:
Step 1 In the 6100 Chassis View, place your cursor on either side of the Cisco 6100 Series chassis and click the right mouse button.

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
Oversubscription Ratios (OSR)---Displays the running total of oversubscription within the currently selected logical pool. Three different oversubscription formulas display to provide insight into various aspects of the pool characteristics. Following are the ratios that ViewRunner for HP OpenView provides: | |
Assigned Port Over Subscription Ratio | Useful when initially configuring logical pools. This ratio is based on locked entities. Assigned Port OSR effectively displays the target oversubscription provisioning ratio for the pool. Assigned Port OSR equals the number of line ports assigned to the logical pool divided by the number of ATU-C ports assigned to the logical pool. |
Provisioned and Unlocked OSR | Useful to verify that the system is properly configured and administratively unlocked to support the target OSR. This ratio is equal to the assigned port OSR when all provisioning needed to support service is completed and the entities are unlocked. Locking ATU-C ports increases the OSR (for example, 3:1 goes to 6:1). Locking LIMs reduces the OSR (for example, 6:1 goes to 3:1). Provisioned and Unlocked OSR equals the number of unlocked line ports that are
This number is then divided by the number of unlocked ATU-C ports assigned to the logical pool that are subordinate to an unlocked module. |
Provisioned and In Service OSR | Displays the active OSR that the system is experiencing, factoring required configurations, administrative permissions, and the Service State of the pooled ports. This ratio includes the Operational State of the system and varies as alarms set or clear. Provisioned and In Service OSR equals the number of in service line ports assigned to the logical pool that are also associated to an unlocked subscriber. This number is then divided by the number of in service ATU-C ports assigned to the logical pool. |
Real-time Display of DOH Service Statistics | Displays running totals of several counts and calculated values. The following statistical information displays initially when the logical pool tab is selected:
Providing these statistics in real time is a key value-added ViewRunner for HP OpenView feature. These statistics give a summary view of many Cisco 6100 Series system critical service parameters and prevents operational mistakes. For large system configurations, most of the list boxes on this dialog box are filled and have scroll bars. These totals are a convenient alternative to scrolling the list box and manually tallying DOH service parameters. |
In DOH configurations, you can access the Subscriber Properties dialog box by clicking Edit Subscriber on the Module Properties > Port Properties > Configuration dialog box.
In Direct Connect configurations, you can access the Subscriber Properties dialog box by clicking Add Subscriber on the ATU-C Module Properties > Port Properties > Configuration dialog box.
In both DOH and Direct Connect configurations, a dialog box similar to Figure 8-25 appears.
Table 8-14 describes the fields for the Subscriber Properties Configuration dialog box.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
Administrative State | Displays the Administrative State of the subscriber. Can be Locked or Unlocked. Defaults to Locked. |
Subscriber ID | Subscriber ID is a required ViewRunner for HP OpenView field that must contain at least one alphanumeric character and can contain up to 20. Its uniqueness is not guaranteed by ViewRunner for HP OpenView. ViewRunner for HP OpenView recognizes and displays subscribers created with null Subscriber IDs, but does not allow modification of subscriber configuration parameters unless an alphanumeric character has been entered. Note If you input more that 20 characters for the Subscriber ID, the system beeps at you starting with the 21st character, which informs you that you are exceeding the field length.Changing the Subscriber ID is a nonservice-affecting operation for the Cisco 6100 Series system. For information about service-affecting vs. nonservice-affecting configuration, see the "Service-Affecting Configuration Rules" section. You can modify the Subscriber ID field when the subscriber is unlocked. |
Service Provisioning | Allows you to actually set up service for a subscriber. Opens the Service Provisioning dialog box. |
| Subscriber Association to Port Group Box | |
Module AID and Port Number | Displays the module and slot numbers of the ATU-C. |
Circuit ID | Displays and allows you to configure a circuit ID for each subscriber. The default value is empty. The Circuit ID field accepts up to 20 characters. Valid characters include "A-Z, a-z, 0-9, [.,-=;:'#!$%&*()<>_+/\]." |
| Service Configuration Group Box | |
Max Allowed Rates Downstream/Upstream | Limits the maximum trained rate of a subscriber's modem. List boxes allow selection of the valid configuration settings using kbps units. See the "ATU-C Train Parameters" section for more information on training. The default on install is 6 dB up and 3 dB down. |
Margin Configuration (Downstream and Upstream) | Allows the operator to associate an upstream and a downstream margin value with a subscriber. See the "Bit Error Rate and Noise Margin" section for more information on setting the margins. This option is disabled for STU-C modules. Note Because increasing the margins could cause a line not to train, a warning dialog box appears when you try to change the noise margin. |
PSD Transmit Power (Downstream and Upstream) | You are able to configure transmit power for each subscriber in units of dBm/Hz. The default value of upstream and downstream transmit power attributes are -38 dBm/Hz upstream and -40 dBm/Hz downstream. Upstream values are -53, -50, -47, -44, -41, -38. Downstream values are -49, -46, -43, -40, -37, -34 This option is disabled for STU-C modules. This option is disabled upstream for DMT-2 modules. |
Allow 136K Baud | The 136 kilobaud training rates now can be enabled or disabled through a system-wide MIB object. If the 136 kilobaud training rates are disabled, then those selections are shaded in ViewRunner and therefore not selectable by you. CAP modules support 136 kilobaud training rates, which can be allowed or disallowed when the feature is supported by the system controller software revision and the subscriber is locked. If the system controller supports per-subscriber provisionable 136 kilobaud or does not support ATUCPARMS, the "Allow 136K Baud" check box on the 6100 Properties dialog box is disabled. (See Figure 2-15, in the "Add ObjectSet Attributes Dialog Box" section.) If the system controller supports ATUCPARMS but does not support per-subscriber 136 kilobaud, then the option is enabled. |
CPE Signature | You can configure per-subscriber CPE signature detection for a LIM controller module through the Subscriber Properties dialog box. You can specify the minimum CPE signature within a range of 0 to 127. The default is 0, which essentially disables CPE signature detection. If the system controller revision supports per-subscriber provisionable CPE detection, then the Performance Management > Line Ports dialog box displays dashes in the Non-timer Failed Trains column and the total for that column is disabled. There is also a column on the subscriber tab of the Performance Management > Subscriber dialog box called CPE Signature Rejects, which totals the number of CPE signatures that were not detected by the design. (See Figure 9-5, Performance ManagementSubscriber.) In addition, the Allow Non-Timer CPE Train check box on the 6100 Properties dialog box is dimmed. (See Figure 2-15, in the "Add ObjectSet Attributes Dialog Box" section.) The Allow Non-Timer CPE Train check box on the 6100 Properties dialog box is not dimmed unless the system controller revision supports ATUCPARMS, but does not support per-subscriber 136 kilobaud. |
Timers Group Box | |
Idle Timeout | If you enable the Idle timer, you can specify the number of minutes that a subscriber can be idle before the connection is dropped. The default is |
Session Timeout | If you enable the Session timer, you can specify the number of minutes that a subscriber can remain connected during any one session. The default is 60 minutes and the valid range for Session Timeout is 1 to 240 minutes. |
Combined Timeout | If you enable the Combined timer, you can utilize either the Idle or Session Timeout settings. |
PVC Idle Mark | If you enable the Idle timer, you can specify a PVC Idle Mark so that the subscriber is disconnected if the PVC falls below the specified number of cells per minute. The default value of the PVC threshold is 15 cells per minute. The range for the PVC threshold is 1 to 2147483647 cells per minute. The PVC threshold is used for low-tide monitoring. If the PVC traffic is less than the threshold for the duration of the timer, then the PVC is considered idle and the subscriber is disconnected. If the traffic is more than the threshold, the PVC is A subscriber can have multiple PVCs. If at least one PVC is active, then the subscriber stays connected. |
Lockout Time | The Lockout Time can be set in minutes. If a timer expires, the user cannot initate a DSC session for the amount of time specified here. If the system controller does not support timer settings, all the fields are dimmed. Otherwise, the fields are available or unavailable depending on the Administrative State of the subscriber (locked or unlocked). The default setting is 5 minutes. The valid range for the Session timer is 1 to 60 minutes. |
Because the service-provisioning process for DOH and Direct Connect configurations is focused on setting up system and subscriber attributes on a one by one basis, it is important to be able to review configured subscriber and port information on an aggregate basis. Scoped dialog boxes, therefore, are available for the aggregate configuration display.
When the user opens a system dialog box, ViewRunner for HP OpenView initiates a configuration synchronization on the Cisco 6100 Series systems within the scope of the dialog box. In addition, as the scope is changed, ViewRunner initiates a configuration synchronization on all Cisco 6100 Series systems within the new scope. Then, clicking Refresh repopulates the dialog box with the most recent information.
Updates to the aggregate system dialog boxes (View All Subscribers, View All PVCs, and View Equipment Inventory) occur in two ways.
1. If the dialog box updates affect only a single entry, the dialog box automatically updates itself with the new information when the client receives the information from the ViewRunner server.
2. If the dialog box requires more substantial updates, a Refresh Needed message appears in the bottom line of the current dialog box. The user can update the dialog box data by
clicking Refresh.
By allowing the user to control when updates occur, ViewRunner reduces the chance of making major changes to data while the user is viewing it.
The View All Subscribers dialog box lets you view all the subscribers currently using the Cisco 6100 Series system. This dialog box displays both subscribers and transit subscribers. To activate this dialog box, place your cursor on the MC, right click, and select the View All Subscribers option. The dialog box in Figure 8-26 appears. Figure 8-26 shows the information on the far left of the dialog box, Figure 8-27 shows the information found in the middle section, and Figure 8-28 shows the far right side of the dialog box after scrolling.
Table 8-15 describes the fields in the View All Subscribers dialog box.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
6100 | Displays the Cisco 6100 Series system where the particular subscriber is provisioned. |
Subscriber ID | Displays the subscriber record identifier. |
Admin State | Displays the administrative state of the subscriber. |
Pool | Displays the physical/logical pool to which the subscriber is assigned. |
Line Port | Displays the line port to which the subscriber is connected. Note Transit subscribers are associated with MC slot 9. |
Provisioned Down | Displays the maximum downstream rate at which this subscriber can train. |
Provisioned Up | Displays the maximum upstream rate at which this subscriber can train. |
Circuit ID | The identifier assigned to the local loop. |
Provisioned Down Margin | Displays the downstream noise margin provisioned by the operator. |
Provisioned Up Margin | Displays the upstream noise margin provisioned by the operator. |
CPE Signature | You can configure per-subscriber CPE signature detection for a LIM controller module through the Subscriber Properties dialog box. You can specify the minimum CPE signature within a range of 0 to 127. The default is 0, which essentially disables CPE signature detection. If the system controller revision supports per-subscriber provisionable CPE detection, then the Performance Management > Line Ports dialog box displays dashes in the Non-timer Failed Trains column and the total for that column is disabled. There is also a column on the subscriber tab of the Performance Management > Subscriber dialog box called CPE Signature Rejects, which totals the number of CPE signatures that were not detected by the design. (See Figure 9-5, Performance ManagementSubscriber.) In addition, the Allow Non-Timer CPE Train check box on the 6100 Properties dialog box is dimmed. (See Figure 2-15, in the "Add ObjectSet Attributes Dialog Box" section.) The Allow Non-Timer CPE Train check box on the 6100 Properties dialog box is not dimmed unless the system controller revision supports ATUCPARMS, but does not support per-subscriber 136 kilobaud. |
Idle Timeout | If you enable the Idle timer, you can specify the number of minutes that a subscriber can be idle before the connection is dropped. The default is 15 minutes and the valid range for Idle Timeout is 1 to 60 minutes. |
PVC Idle Mark | If you enable the Idle timer, you can specify a PVC Idle Mark so that the subscriber is disconnected if the PVC falls below the specified number of cells per minute. The default value of the PVC threshold is 15 cells per minute. The range for the PVC threshold is 1 to 2147483647 cells per minute. The PVC threshold is used for low-tide monitoring. If the PVC traffic is less than the threshold for the duration of the timer, then the PVC is considered idle and the subscriber is disconnected. If the traffic is more than the threshold, the PVC is considered active. A subscriber can have multiple PVCs. If at least one PVC is active, then the subscriber stays connected. |
Session Timeout | If you enable the Session timer, you can specify the number of minutes that a subscriber can remain connected during any one session. The default is 60 minutes and the valid range for Session Timeout is 1 to 240 minutes. |
Lockout Time | The Lockout Time can be set in minutes. If the system controller does not support timer settings, then all the fields are dimmed. Otherwise, the fields are available or unavailable depending on the Administrative State of the subscriber (locked or unlocked). The default setting is 5 minutes. The valid range for the Session timer is 1 to 60 minutes. |
136K Baud | The 136 kilobaud training rates now can be enabled or disabled through a system-wide MIB object. If the 136 kilobaud training rates are disabled, then those selections are shaded in ViewRunner and therefore not selectable by you. CAP modules support 136 kilobaud training rates, which can be allowed or disallowed when the feature is supported by the system controller software revision and the subscriber is locked. If the system controller supports per-subscriber provisionable 136 kilobaud or does not support ATUCPARMS, the "Allow 136K Baud" check box on the 6100 Properties dialog box is disabled. (See Figure 2-15, in the "Add ObjectSet Attributes Dialog Box" section.) If the system controller supports ATUCPARMS but does not support per-subscriber 136 kilobaud, then the option is enabled. |
Total Subscribers | The total number of subscribers. |
Scope | Allows you to choose to view subscriber information for the Local, Subtend Group, or Wire Center level. |
Show Transit Subscribers | Allows you to show transit subscribers for a Subtend system. |
The 6100, Subscriber ID, Pool, and Line Port fields are hyperlinked to their respective dialog boxes so you can use the logical service-oriented navigation feature to easily get to relevant parts of the system.
In a subtended system, you can view the transit subscribers in the View All Subscribers dialog box. Use the menu on the Show Transit Subscribers field to show the transit subscribers for the Local, Subtend Group, or Wire Center, as shown in Figure 8-29. If the transit subscriber box is checked, the transit subscribers for the Cisco 6100 Series systems display.
The scope box affects the number of Cisco 6100 Series systems that show in the dialog box. Following are the elements found in the scope box:
The View All PVCs dialog box displays all virtual circuit connections (VCCs) configured in the Cisco 6100 Series system. The total number of VCCs configured in the Cisco 6100 Series system is also maintained and displayed. The list of VCCs can be sorted based on any column in either ascending or descending order by clicking on the column heading.
To activate this dialog box, place your cursor on the MC, right click, and select the View All PVCs option. The dialog box in Figure 8-30 appears.
Each VCC displayed in the dialog box contains the subscriber name, the subscriber-side virtual path identifier (VPI)/virtual circuit identifier (VCI), and the network-side VPI/VCI.
Table 8-16 describes the fields in the View All PVCs dialog box.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
6100 | Displays the Cisco 6100 Series system where the particular subscriber is provisioned. |
Subscriber ID | Displays the subscriber record identifier. |
Port | Displays the line port to which the subscriber is connected. Note Transit subscribers are associated with MC slot 9 (or 29) |
Type | Displays the type of connection. |
Subscriber VPI/VCI | Displays the current subscriber VPI and VCIs. |
Network VPI/VCI | Displays the current network VPI and VCIs. |
Another aggregate dialog box that is displayed by ViewRunner shows the inventory details of the Cisco 6100 Series system. To activate this dialog box, place your cursor on the MC, right click, and select View Equipment Inventory. The View Equipment Inventory dialog box in Figure 8-31 appears, showing the far left side. The view shown in Figure 8-32 appears after you scroll to
the right.
