The ZIC (Zero-Installation Craft terminal) is a an application embedded in NE Equipment
controller SW based on a Web Browser Interface. It is in charge of the local management
of single network elements from different Alcatel-Lucent SDH products, providing
ANSI/ITU compliant Information Model Interface to the Network Element.
The ZIC manages all Gateway or Remote Network Elements in the Alcatel-Lucent
Transmission catalogue, except for the Cross-Connect (DXC) product.
The ZIC can be integrated to products in charge of the management of networks and
network elements.
The ZIC uses a state-of-the-art platform for providing an advanced and integrated
Management.

This SID will be automatically updated (by reading the MAC address from the appropriate NE hardware
module) and stored in the NE's database during any cold restart of the NE, as long as the SID is already set to
PLEASE-SET-SID- xxxxx, or a default database is created.

The SID value can be either up to 20 noncase-sensitive alphanumeric characters, including the special hyphen
(-) character, or up to 20 characters quoted string.If it is a non quoted string, the hyphen (-) is the only
special character allowed. The SID must start with a letter and shall end with an alphanumeric character.
Consecutive hyphens (-) shall not be allowed. Number of hyphens shall be not greater than 4. If a lower-case
character string is entered for the SID, it is automatically converted to an uppercase character string for
comparison to any TID value entered in a command.
Double Quotes functions as auto-correcting by the NE. If lower-case characters are entered for the SID, they
are converted to an upper-case character string and stored as the SID value. If a quoted string is entered for
the SID, no case conversion is applied.

The NE Configuration page contains the IP Address Management panel:
IP Address: (Internet Protocol address), it is the IP address of the NE. The entry box allows to digit the IP
address of the NE (value range [1-99, 101-126,128-223] - [0-255] - [0-255] - [0-254]).
Subnet mask: it is the entry box for subnet mask of the network the NE is connected to (value range
[128-255] - [0-255] - [0-255] - [0-255]). The mask, in binary representation, must contain a contiguous
string of 1s (the network portion) and a contiguous string of 0s (the host portion).

1646 SM/SMC NE A can be managed by ZIC PC via Local mode after configuration as follows:
Set ZIC PC‘s ip address and NE A‘s ip address, and make sure that these ip address belongs to the same
subnetwork.
Set gateway address, which should be the same IP address of NE A
Connect ZIC PC‘s network adpater interface and NE A‘s management interface with a LAN cable.
1646 SM/SMC NE B can be managed by ZIC PC via Remote mode after configuration as follows:
Connect NE A and NE B with optical fiber
LAPD configurations (only valid for OSI network):
Set the NSAP address (for OSI networking) of NE A and NE B
Set LAPD parameters:
Type of DCC channels:
· Section
· Line
Type of layer 2 LAPD role:
· User
· Network
Set IP (over OSI) tunnel to reach NSAP address of NE B with ALU encapsulation type.
Add static route:
Define static route from NE B to ZIC PC
Define static route from ZIC PC to NE B

The CT communicates with remote NEs through the DCC (Data Communication Channels) that support Qecc
protocol.
Two groups of DCC can be configured:
D1-D3: DCC in Section OH
D4-D12: DCC in Line OH
The DCC channel from STM-N signal is for data communication purposes.

It allows the operator to modify the various network interface parameters on a specified DCC channel on an
optical port for data communication purposes.
The network interface must be first provisioned on the line or section DCC of the specific STM-N facility.
The DCC is identified as STM-N and the DCCCHNL parameter.

optical port for data communication purposes.
The network interface must be first provisioned on the line or section DCC of the specific STM-N facility.
The DCC is identified as STM-N and the DCCCHNL parameter.

The IP Tunnel Configuration tab displays the following:
AID: Refers about the access identifier of the LSP tunnel for the network connection. It is assigned by
system at connection creation. Format is as follows: <Source Node ID> or <Destination Node ID>: <Four
dot separated numeric string> <Tunnel ID> or <Tunnel Instance>: <One numeric string> in the 0 to 255
range for each numeric string.
Remote NSAP: Specifies the Network Service Access Point for the IP Tunnel
Encapsulation Type: Specifies the Encapsulation Type required for the Tunnel configuration: ALU
(Alcatel-Lucent Proprietary protocol) or GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation)

The IP Routing Configuration tab displays the following:
Access Identifier: Specifies the Access Identifier for the IP route
DESTADDR: Specifies the destination IP address for the IP route
IP MASK: Specifies the subnet mask for the IP route
NEXTHOP: Specifies the IP address of the next hop

ADVERTISE: Specifies whether the IP route is leaked into IP routing protocols ( Integrated IS-IS). The
values are: N (route is only known on the local NE) or Y (route is leaked into integrated IS-IS)

The OSI page contains the OSI AREA panel:
OSI Area. Combo box to determine an access Identifier for an OSI area.
Level 3 Initial Domain Part of the NSAP. It assigns the initial domain part of the manual area address (8
hexadecimal characters).
Level 3 Domain Format Identifier of the NSAP. It assigns the domain format identifier field of the
manual area address (2 hexadecimal characters).
Level 3 ORGanization. It assigns the organization field of the manual area address (8 hexadecimal
characters).
Level 3 REServed. It assigns the reserved field of the manual area address (4 hexadecimal characters).
Level 3 ROUting. It assigns the routing domain and routing area within the routing domain of the manual
area address (8 hexadecimal characters).
Level 3 SYstem Identifier. It is the system identifier assigned to the card (12 hexadecimal characters).

The page contains the following two panels:
The Time and Date panel allows to manually set the system date and time by means of six combo-boxes
Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute and Sec. These parameters are not configurable if NTP is enabled. You
need to save the settings by selecting the related hyperlink.
The Network Time Protocol panel shows the following information:
Current NTP Server Synchronization: The time synchronization from the NTP server; The value
are Enabled or Disabled. Default value is Disabled
Current Offset: The time offset to apply to NTP server UTC time, +/- HH-MM, for all events and
time stamps reported by this NE. Default value is +00-00
Current Operating Mode: The current operating mode of the NTP service. The values are:
FREE-RUNNING: NTP is not enabled, and the NE is not synchronized to an NTP server and
uses its own internal clock as a source
HOLDOVER: NTP is enabled but the NE has lost connection with the NTP server, and
continues using the latest given clock update as the synchronization source
NTPSYNC: NTP is enabled, and the NE is synchronized to an NTP server through NTP protocol

The Network Time Protocol configuration takes effect immediately.
Note: If no NTP server has been settled with the NTP protocol enabled, the time-of-day clock will be
synchronized with the latest internal clock. Modifying the date and time of the NE may introduce
partial or incomplete PM data.

TP Thresholds Configuration allows the operator to set the Degrade Signal and Signal fail alarms’ thresholds
for the selected Termination Point. It’s available for Line section (MST).
The system enables the configuration of the Signal fail threshold (from 10E-3 to 10E-5) and of the Signal
Degrade threshold (from 10E-5 to 10E-9)

Constraints:
All involved ports must work at the same rate.
All involved ports must have the same configurations, regarding Auto Negotiation and Flow Control.
All aggregated links must be point-to-point (Multicast is not allowed).
All involved interfaces must work in full-duplex modality.
All involved ports must be Local (Remote ports are not allowed).
Actor and Partner ports (local and far sides) must be of the same type.

A priority value is associated to each port of the bundle; lower values mean higher priority.
A port of the group is classified, by the system, in “Active” or “Stand-by” state, depending from the port-
priority values and from the LAG-size. E.g.: if port-rate=1Gb/s, LAG-size=5, number of ports=7, then 2
ports (those ones having lower priorities) are classified as “stand-by” by the system.
Each system has a System Identifier that is composed of System Priority value and System MAC Address.
Master system is the one having the lower System Identifier value.
In case that the port priorities between the two connected equipments do not match properly, then the
Master system can change the port priorities of the peer system.
In case of a protected traffic, if a link failure occurs, the traffic of the failed link will be switched to the
stand-by port having a priority value just lower than the failed one.
Both Actor (local) and Partner (far) systems must switch accordingly.
If the traffic is not protected, i.e. no stand-by ports are configured, then the traffic of the failed link will
be redistributed to all ports, if bandwidth is available. In this case frames discarding may occur.
The redistribution of the traffic after failures impacts all the involved links, therefore the transport is not
hitless for all the conversations in operation.
The reconfiguration is triggered by the LOS on aggregate ports.
The reconfiguration is accomplished within 1 second.

Name: Allows to set the name of the LAG. The only suffix after “#” can be set by the user, with an
integer in the range 1-123.

link, i.e. the one that will drive the actions in case of events such as failures, switches, etc. Possible
values are integers in the range 0-65535.
Maximum MRU: Specifies the maximum receive units for the LAG.
EthClient Type: The entry field can be set only after creation. The values are: ets (for Ethernet
Transparent System) or etb (for Ethernet Bridge System).

The Link Aggregator configuration panel contains the parameters previously described with the following

associated to this LAG. It is the sum of Aggregated Ports rates
Actor Admin Key: Indicates the LAG “Key”, the parameter identifying this LAG; integer in the range 1 -
123
Available Band: Indicates the remaining Bandwidth of the LAG, not yet used by Aggregated Ports
Actor System Priority: Indicates the LAG Priority. This parameter, together with the LAG Mac Address,
forms the “System Identifier”. The lowest System Identifier value will be elected as the “Master” of the
link, i.e. the one that will drive the actions in case of events such as failures, switches, etc. Possible
values are integers in the range 0-65535.
Flooding rate: Allows to set the maximum rate of packets having unknown Addresses, for this LAG, that
can be flooded to all ports.
Actor System ID-A read-only field fixed by the system indicates the “System Identifier”, composed of the
LAG Mac Address and the above Actor System Priority. The LAG having the lowest LAG-System Identifier
value will be elected as the “Master” of the LAG link, i.e. the one that will drive the actions in case of
events such as failures, switches, etc.

LACP Type: Indicates if the Link Aggregation Control Protocol is ON (i.e. lacpOn is active on this aggregator)
or OFF (IacpOff inactive); read only field, fixed by the system.
Actor Op. key: A read-only field fixed by the system indicates the actual operational value of LAG-key for this
LAG.
After “Save & Exit” the “Admin Status” of the UNI port is automatically set to “up”

Mac Address: (read only field, fixed by the system) indicating the MAC Address assigned to the selected
LAG.

among all aggregated ports, for carrying special traffic (such as Multicast/Broadcast, xSTP-BPDU, IGMP,
unknown addressed packets flooding, etc.). Primary Port is the first one created in the LAG.
Primary Port Position: (read only field, fixed by the system); indicating the position of the Primary Port on
the equipment connectors.

After unbind the port, the “Admin Status” is automatically set to “down”

Transparency
The Ethernet frames are forwarded to the output port with no protocol termination. This cause no impact on
service management architecture due to transport network insertion.
• Low latency
The transport network provides a very low end-to-end delay; the removal of store need in the intermediate
nodes using continuous data flow is another consequence of transparency.
• High availability
The LAN-to-LAN service makes use of the same resources and infrastructures of the other transported services
(ATM, MPLS, PDH and SDH streams...); so availability is very high.
• High quality
All the features of the transport network, like very low BER, synchronization, alarms management,
performance monitoring, protection mechanisms, are used providing so high quality service.

The virtual LAN management provides reports the registered VLANs associated to the Ethernet
interface existing on the each data card and in specific range. Maximum is 100 in time.
The operator can register/create a new VLAN in range 2-4095.
The VLAN tab reports, in tabular form, the VLAN identifiers, in the specified range, already registered
on the selected Data Board, and, in the same row, the relevant existing Ethernet Ports on which a
VLAN is registered.
In the case of Virtual bridge, all the existing (and activated) ETB ports (and ETB LAGs, in case of “Agg
Group Management”) of the board are tabled. While in the case of Provider Bridge all the existing
(and activated) ETS and ETB ports (and LAGs, in case of “Agg Group Management”) of the board are
presented. The values are:
VLAN#: The VLAN Identifiers (number)
Limit in learning process: Specifies the process that observes the Source Addresses (SA) and VIDs
of received frames, updates the filtering database, conditionally on the port state
Tagged: Specifies that the Port is part of the “Member” of the corresponding VLAN domain (i.e.
frames are accepted, at the relevant ports, if having Priority and VLAN information)
Untagged: Specifies that the Port is part of the “Untagged Set” (i.e. frames are accepted, at the
relevant ports, without Priority and VLAN information) of the corresponding VLAN domain
n.a.: Specifies that the Port does not belong to the corresponding VLAN domain.

Service Type: Indicates the Traffic codification, according to international standard conversion:
best Effort Service: serves Low priority traffic, which relies on transport layer protocol to
recover from loss and tolerates large delay; e.g. E-mail and file transfer applications. Best
Effort denotes BW (PIR > CIR = 0 in 100kbps increments), which may or may not be available per
network operator’s reservation for Best Effort policy. It may therefore be unavailable under
congestion conditions
backGround Service
Regulated Service: serves Medium priority traffic, which relies on transport layer protocol to
recover from occasional loss and requires moderate delay; e.g. client–server applications.
Regulated service denotes BW (PIR > CIR >0 in 100Kbps increments), which may be overbooked
per network operator’s overbooking policy. The portion of bandwidth between CIR and PIR (aka
EIR) may therefore be partially available under congestion conditions.
regulatedService1
regulatedService3
regulatedService4
Guaranteed Service: serves High priority traffic for mission critical applications that require
loss–less delivery and minimal delay. Guaranteed SLA denotes BW (CIR = PIR > 0 in 100Kbps
increments), that is always available regardless of any congestion conditions. Traffic delivered
using Guaranteed BW, is policed to the CIR value with a burst window equal to the CBS.
Guaranteed Service2
CIR -Committed Information Rate [kb/sec]: This is the normal medium rate (expressed in
kb/sec) of the data flow (Effective Bandwidth) and it ranges from 0 to PIR value. It can be set
only if the regulatedService has been selected; in bestEffortService case it is set to 0 by the
system; in guaranteedService case it is set equal to PIR value

PIR - Peak Information Rate [kb/sec]: This is the maximum rate (expressed in kb/sec) up
to which the source can transmit for a short time period and it ranges from 3 to physical-
line-rate of the relative Port

N.B: a traffic descriptor can be modified if no Services are using it

In case of “Priority” mode, the operator can assign a color to 8 different User Priority (0…. 7)

In case of “DSCP” mode, a color can be assigned to 64 different Code Point (0 ….. 63)

N.B: a Color Profile can be modified if no Services are using it

Topology Classifier: according to the selected Topology Classifier, specific parameters must be set:
VLAN+NO_IP: VLAN identifier + Priority
VLAN+DSCP/IP: VLAN identifier + DSCP value
Default: “Don’t care (all frame are forwarded)

Layer 2 control frames: allow to enable or disable the Protocol Frames that can accede the port
Policing Mode:
Disabled: the policing is not performed
Color-blind: the policing is based on the associated TD
colorAware: the policing is based on the associated TD and on the priority colors of the associated
“color Profile” (IETF compliant)
colorAwareNoCoupling: the policing is based on the associated TD and on the priority colors of the
associated “color Profile” (MEF compliant)
colorAwareWithCoupling: the policing is based on the associated TD and on the priority colors of the
associated “color Profile”; Coupling Flag mode is managed (MEF compliant).
Color Profile: specifies the association between incoming EVPL priorities and forwarded frame coloring
VLAN pop: if enabled, it pops out the “Stacked VLAN” field of the incoming Ethernet frame

N.B: The “Null TD” must be in the same CoS of the UNI-NNI TD applied on the remote end point.



Topology Classifier: according to the selected Topology Classifier, specific parameters must be set:
VLAN+NO_IP: VLAN identifier + DSCP value
