1 Configuration Of Northbound Interfaces
1.1 Export Interface - FTP

It is possible to export PM and Inventory data from IMA to an external FTP
server. The FTP export of Topology data applies only if you have installed SNM
package. The data can be exported to comma separated text files or XML files.
1.1.1 Open FTP Export Configuration Display
To configure what, when and where the data should be exported, right click the
mouse on the server icon in the IMA Network Explorer, System tab.
Figure 1 Open Export Interface dialog
1.1.2 Configure MINI-LINK MANAGER to Export PM Files
The PM Export Interface dialog is divided into three different sections. The
Destination section enables you to configure where the data should be send
30/1553-AOM 901 015/1 Uen B -- 1

through FTP. It is possible to schedule the exporting process on different

intervals. This is done in the Schedule section. In the PM Data Source
section you configure which PM data that should be exported through a multi
selectable list.

1.2 Mini-Link Manager SNMP Interface

In this chapter you will learn how to configure the MINI-LINK MANAGER SNMP
interface. The configuration is described in a step by step fashion.
The SNMP interface is installed if the interface component SNMP is selected

during MINI-LINK MANAGER installation. Please refer to the INSTALLATION
GUIDE.
1.2.1 MINI-LINK MANAGER SNMP Interface Concept
This interface uses the SNMP version 1 protocol, as described in the Internet
standard.
The SNMP interface handles the MIB described in ima.mib, 1551-CAN 212
33, except for the groups object and performance which are currently not
implemented.
1.2.2 Stop the Windows 2000 SNMP Service

1 Start the Control Panel in My Computer and open Administrative Tools.
2 Select Services.
3 Select SNMP in the list.
4 Push Stop in the Services window. The list should read Stopped for SNMP
after a few seconds. If not, consult the Windows NT documentation.
30/1553-AOM 901 015/1 Uen B -- 7

5 Push Close in the Services window.
1.2.2.1 Configure Trap Destinations
1 Start the Control Panel in My Computer and open Administrative Tools.
2 Select Services.
3 Select SNMP Service in the list and then Properties right clicking on it.
4 Select Traps.
5 Use the dialog to specify what computers that are to receive traps. This is
done in the following way:
Community Name is chosen from the list or written in the text field. This is
the SNMP "pass-word" used when the proxy sends the traps, for example
public.
6 Push Add to List next to the field Community Name.
7 Push Add next to Trap Destinations to specify host names for all servers that
correspond to the given Community Name give a host name (if it is known
in your network), IP address or IPX address, for example 150.132.152.21.
8 Choose another Community Name if necessary and give a new group of

servers, and so on.
9 Push OK.
10 Please restart SNMP services.
11 Push Close in the Network window.
Caution!
If you have installed on MINI-LINK Manager Server also MINI-LINK E Adapter
Server set SNMP EMANATE Adapter for NT service to Manual.
1.2.3 Customise the Registry for Very Special Preconditions
All these registry keys are set to a default value by the installation program. Do
not change manually without reason.
1 Start the registry editor program from the task bar by selecting Start:Run
and enter regedit. Then press OK. Expand the tree and select
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ericsson\IMA\Applications\SNMP-
PROXY.
8 30/1553-AOM 901 015/1 Uen B --

2 The following entries are present and can be edited (by double-clicking
on it):
AGENT-AUTOACK 1= All alarms are acknowledged automatically.

Default is: 0= Alarms are not acknowledged
automatically.
AGENT-CONTACT <mail-address> The mail-address of the person
designated as being responsible for this SNMP
interface. This info is visible in the IMA MIB.
Default is:< mail address to contact>.
AGENT-DESCRIPTION <description> A textual description of this
proxy-agent. This info is visible in the IMA MIB.
Default is: SNMP Agent for IMA .
1.2.4 Configure MINI-LINK MANAGER for SNMP Interface
To configure the MINI-LINK MANAGER SNMP Interface you have to modify the
system configuration by adding the program SNMP_PROXY.EXE to the list of
tasks that are started when the MINI-LINK MANAGER Server is started.
1 Start the System Configuration program, which you will find in the IMA
program group.
2 Select Configure:Tasks.
3 Add the following two tasks to the list:
Note: The order is important!
4 Push the ? button and locate the file C:\Dynamics\AlmUserQ.EXE, Note!
Note: If AlmUserQ.EXE is already used, make a copy (that is

AlmUserQSnmp.exe) of the file and use the copy instead.
5 Enter /nqueue1 /s9999 at the Command Line.
6 Select Start Up Mode Background.
7 Select the Add button.
8 Push once again the ? button and now locate the file
C:\Ericsson\IMA\SNMP_PROXY.EXE.
10 Select the Add button. Configuration should look as the figure below.
11 Select the OK button.
12 Select menu item File:Save to save your IMA.scu-file.
30/1553-AOM 901 015/1 Uen B -- 9

13 Select menu item File:Exit to Exit SCU configuration.
14 Restart MINI-LINK MANAGER.
15 If IMA is going to work as a pure mediator it can be configured

to automatically acknowledge alarms when they are cleared, see
ADMINISTRATOR MANUAL.
Figure 4 Task configuration
If the northbound system is used for remotely alarm acknowledge through the
SNMP Export interface, follow the steps:
1. In the “Services Console” check the SNMP service Security option: select
the SNMP service, open the properties page and select “Security” tab.
2. If the “Accepted community names” contains the community “public” with

Rights “READ ONLY”, select the row and Edit it changing the community
rights to the “READ WRITE” option.
3. Click OK button to save and close.
1.2.5 Open MINI-LINK MANAGER - SNMP Interface Properties
To open the SNMP interface properties dialog, right click on the server icon in
the IMA Network Explorer, System tab and select Export Interface->SNMP
from the popup menu.

1.2.6 Configure SNMP Export Filters
Use the MINI-LINK MANAGER SNMP interface properties dialog to enable or

disable the SNMP export interface or to enable or disable export of alarms for
network elements or circuits or both. Use the severity checkboxes to control
the severity of the exported alarms.
To activate this page, right click on an MINI-LINK MANAGER server icon, select
Export Interface from the popup menu and then SNMP. This page enables
to discard alarms satisfying at least one from the conditions represented by
controls in the window: NE alias, AO type, AO Id, probable cause, alarm type
and alarm severity. The Add, Modify and Remove buttons permit to add a new
advanced filter to the list, and to modify or remove previously created ones
through the Advanced Filters dialog box.

If a "NE alias" value is used in your filter expression, the string set
in the NE alias edit box must be changed if the alias used on the
corresponding NE in MINI-LINK MANAGER is changed, otherwise this

1.3 MINI-LINK MANAGER TL1 Interface

In this chapter you will learn how to configure the MINI-LINK MANAGER TL1
interface.
1.3.1 MINI-LINK MANAGER TL1 Interface Concept
MINI-LINK MANAGER TL1 Interface provides TL1 commands described in

Note: If Password Validation for TL1 is set to TRUE (which is default),

then TL1 must run as an NT service. How to accomplish to run
MINI-LINK MANAGER as an NT Service, see administrator manual
for further instructions. Alternatively you can disable password
validation via a registry value for TL1. See Section 1.3.3 on page
18. The TL1-user should also be an NT-user that is user created
from the NT User-Manger application.

configured to automatically acknowledge alarms when they are cleared,
see ADMINISTRATOR MANUAL.
