This chapter describes how to use the ViewRunner graphical user interface (GUI) to check system status and configuration information on the various modules and chassis.
This chapter includes the following sections:
 |
Caution Several sections in this chapter apply to Digital Off-Hook configurations only, not to Direct Connect configurations. These sections are marked accordingly. |
ViewRunner provides status and configuration information for the following operations of the Cisco 6100 Series system:
 |
Note You can access the Status and Configuration tabs on the Module Properties dialog boxes in several ways, including using the right mouse button menu options, menu bar options, navigation buttons on dialog boxes, double-clicking hyperlinks within dialog boxes, and simply double-clicking on the chassis or modules. The instructions in this chapter present one access method---right-clicking the Chassis View to access the chassis and module or port menus. You can, of course, access these menus by using your own preferred method. See "ViewRunner for HP OpenView Overview," for a review of navigating in ViewRunner. |
You access either status or configuration information on any Cisco 6100 Series entity, including the chassis itself, by choosing the desired Cisco 6100 Series system in ViewMap, then using the View > 6100 Chassis menu option. Also, you can right-click 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 6-1 shows the module, port, status, and configuration tabs on the Module Properties dialog box. 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 tabs display the states that are 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 tabs 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 2 From the menu, choose 6100 Properties and the Status option. The window in Figure 6-3 appears.
This window displays the current date and time. These values are set and modified on the 6100 Properties dialog box, Configuration tab discussed in the next section.
To access the configuration of a Cisco 6100 Series chassis, follow these steps:
Step 2 From the menu, choose 6100 Properties and Configuration to open the 6100 Properties dialog box Configuration tab. The window in Figure 6-4 appears.
Step 3 Click Apply for any changes that you make to the fields in this dialog box to take effect.

|---|---|
Over Subscription Ratios (OSR) | Displays the running total of oversubscribed lines within the currently selected logical pool. Three different oversubscription formulas are displayed to provide insight into various aspects of the pool characteristics. The ratios that ViewRunner provides are described in the following fields. |
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. |
To configure subscribers according to their designated service, you must access the Subscriber Properties dialog box.
To access the Subscriber Properties dialog box in a DOH configuration, complete the following steps:
Step 2 Choose Port Properties and Configuration.
The Port Configuration tab on the LIM Module Properties dialog box opens, shown in Figure 6-25.
Step 3 Click Edit Pool to open the Subscriber Properties dialog box.
Table 6-15 describes the fields in the Subscriber Properties dialog box.
| Field | Description | ||
|---|---|---|---|
Administrative State | Displays the Administrative state of the subscriber. Can be Locked or Unlocked.
| ||
Subscriber ID | The Subscriber ID field is required and must contain 1 to 20 alphanumeric characters. ViewRunner cannot guarantee the number is unique. ViewRunner recognizes and displays the subscribers that are created with null subscriber IDs. ViewRunner does not allow modification of subscriber configuration parameters unless you enter an alphanumeric character.
| ||
| Subscriber Association to Port Group Box | |||
Displays the module and port that are associated with this subscriber. | |||
Circuit ID | Allows you to configure an identifier that is assigned to the local loop (the phone line that goes to the CPE1). Setting this field is optional. The Circuit ID depends on whether a port is a competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) or an independent local exchange carrier (ILEC). | ||
| Service Provisioning Box | |||
Max Allowed Downstream/Upstream Rates | Limits the maximum trained rate of a subscriber's modem. Use the down arrow to select the valid configuration settings, which are measured in kilobits per second. | ||
Margin Configuration (Downstream and Upstream) | Allows you to associate downstream and upstream margin values with a subscriber. Use the down arrows to scroll to the value that you want to set for Downstream and Upstream.
| ||
PSD2 sets downstream transmit power in dBm/Hz per subscriber. Verify that the PSD complies with the service provider standards or as specified on the related service order for the subscriber you are provisioning. The following PSD downstream ranges are valid:
This setting is not available for DMT-2 ATU-C or quad-port STU-C modules. | |||
Allow 136K Baud | Standard kilobaud settings include:
ViewRunner ensures that at least one of these baud rates is enabled. | ||

To access the Subscriber Properties dialog box in a Direct Connect configuration, complete the following steps:
Step 2 Choose Port Properties and Configuration.
The Port Configuration tab on the Module Properties dialog box opens.
Step 3 On the Module Properties dialog box Port Configuration tab, click Edit Subscriber.
In both Digital Off-Hook and Direct Connect configurations, a dialog box similar to the one shown in Figure 6-26 appears.
|
Note All default values described are system defaults. They can be configured for each site by the ViewRunner administrator by changing their values in the vrconstants file. |
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.
You can open the View All Subscribers dialog box to see the properties for all of the subscriber lines that are currently using the Cisco 6100 Series system. This dialog box displays both direct subscribers and transit subscribers. To open this dialog box, complete the following steps:
Step 2 Choose View All Subscribers.
The View All Subscribers dialog box shown in Figure 6-27 appears.
Table 6-16 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.
| ||
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. In addition, the Allow Non-Timer CPE Train check box on the 6100 Properties dialog box is dimmed. 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. | ||
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. 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 6-28. 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:
To open the Subscriber PVCs dialog box, complete these steps:
Step 2 Choose View Subscriber PVCs.
The Subscriber PVCs dialog box displays as shown in Figure 6-29.
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.
|
Note You can click on the blue text and go directly to the Cisco 6100 Series system, the subscriber, or port for any subscriber in the list through the logical service-oriented navigation feature. |
Table 6-17 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.
| ||
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.
The view shown in Figure 6-31 appears after you scroll to the right.
Step 2 Click Refresh to update the view.
