GENERAL
The Operation and Maintenance Manual describes the management
capabilities of the Local Craft Terminals and the WALKnet Management
system. This manual describes menu driven operation and maintenance
via the LCI port. GUI based management is described in the WALKnet
Manual.

P/N 110504-00 D REV 1.1

Page 1-1

LOCAL CRAFT INTERFACE

2.1

LCI Terminal Overview

The LCI terminal is used for installing, provisioning and maintaining
network elements. It is connected to the BS/BU and TS/Bus via the LCI
port RS-232 interface. All LCI software resides in the BS/BU. The LCI
terminal can also be used to manage the Termainal Stations associated
with the Base Station using the air link.
Using the LCI terminal, the operator can obtain information regarding
current active services and the resources (Telecom and air links) that are
being utilized by the network elements. The information presented is at all
time accurate and updated.
The LCI terminal is used to configure network elements. Base Station
elements and associated Terminal Stations. The BS/Bus and TS/Bus each
store their current configuration (hardware/software installation data,
operating parameters, subscriber data) internally. The operator can always
retrieve specific up-to-date information about the configuration of the
system and the individual network elements via the operator PC.
Using the LCI terminal, the operator can define and/or retrieve the
following:
Physical installation data
Service provisioning
Activate BS/BUs and TS/BUs
Activate individual BS/BU and TS/BU ports connected to network
elements
Current active alarms
Software downloads

P/N 110504-00 D REV 1.1

Page 2-1

25-pin D-type connectors. (See the Commissioning Guide for
connector pinout descriptions).
Communications software (PROCOMM. PCPLUS, PROWIN etc.).

3.1

LCI Structure
LCI parameters in the Base Station and the Terminal Station are grouped

system configuration:
! Radio parameters include all parameters required to establish
radio connections.
! Administrative Parameters include all parameters required to set
the operational status.
! Telecom Interface parameters include all parameters required to
set the Telecom port physical layer such as E1, V.35, X.21 etc.
! Service Parameters (Base Station only) include all parameters
required for establishing a service between the Base Station and
the Terminal Station.
2. Maintenance Parameters include all parameters required to determine
the equipment operational status.
! System Tests includes various loopback testing
! Alarms and errors include all parameters required to indicate
system events.
! Version Control Information includes all parameters required to
keep track of equipment version.
! Performance Monitoring includes air performance monitoring
parameters

Starting and LCI Session

Attach the Local Craft Terminal to the BS/BU LCI port, using an available
COM port with the following settings:
9600 bps baud rate
no parity
8 data bits
1 stop bit
The LCI software is embedded in the BU RAM and uses a VT-100 terminal
compatible, RS-232 interface.
After making the LCI connection, run the communications software.

NOTE
Set the terminal type to ANSI in the communications software.
While the BS/BU is initializing, a number of messages are displayed on the
Craft terminal.
After the initialization has completed, the Main Menu is displayed on the
Craft screen.
To re-display the LCI menu screen, press <Enter>.
The Global Navigation Commands are attached to each LCI screen.
Type the <symbol> then press <Enter> at any time in order to perform the
requested function. The following table details the global key symbol
commands for the Main structure.

3.9

SNMP Based Management

Software for managing the WALKair V3.1 contains the following interfaces:
! Ethernet for local management
! Local Craft Interface
WALKnet, WALKairs management system is connected to the BS-BUs via
Ethernet interface. All BS-BUs at the Base Station are connected to an
Ethernet hub. Ethernet traffic is carried to the NMS central point via router
connected to the DCN network.
Each BS-BU is an SNMP agent with a unique IP address. Each BS-BU
serves as a proxy agent to its Terminal Stations. The management
protocol between the BS-BU and its Terminal Station is proprietary and
transferred out of the payload traffc band. The WALKnet SNMP based
management system is described in the WALKnet User Manual.
WALKnet provides graphical visualization of network objects and
describes each network node status. In addition, the NMS enables
parameter changes, traffic control, performance monitoring, statistical, and
auditing functions.
