Introduction
ADVISION is a comprehensive network management application that provides
the tools necessary to control, configure, and monitor data communications
equipment throughout a network. ADVISION provides a Graphical User
Interface (GUI) presentation of Frame Access system information exchanged
using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The Frame Access
system utilizes standard Management Information Base (MIB) II and enterprise
MIB components to pass information relating to inventory, provisioning, alarms,
configuration, status, and testing. Integration into Hewlett Packard’s OpenView®
network management system ensures product compatibility with industry
standards and eliminates the need for proprietary management systems.
ADVISION enhances the capabilities of HP OpenView by supporting and
displaying ADTRAN devices as they actually appear to the user in the field.
With ADVISION, HP OpenView maps become intuitively informative,
automatically displaying ADTRAN IP-addressable devices rather than generic
devices.

Frame Access System Description
1. Introduction
Frame Access is a statistical multiplexing system that takes advantage
of the bursty nature of data interchange to service more users than
traditional Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) techniques.
As illustrated in Figure 1.1, the existing Frame Relay network
provides the backbone facilities required for end-to-end data
interchange. In the TDM environment, the number of users supported
through a single shelf is limited by the number of time slots assigned
to each user, regardless of the amount of idle time that may result from
user or application inactivity. By contrast, the Frame Access
implementation shares the aggregate bandwidth among only those
subscribers transmitting or receiving data at that certain moment,
providing high-speed data transfer opportunity for considerably more
users served from a single shelf. The Frame Access system extends
the Frame Relay backbone throughout the network using the same
protocols and management parameters as current Frame Relay switch
implementations, yet utilizes cost-effective network components found
in the local central office or remote cabinet. Although Frame Relay
serves as the protocol basis for data transfer though Frame Access
system components, it may be transparent to the user in popular
implementations such as work-at-home Intergrated Digital Subscriber
Line (ISDN) or Single Line DSL (SDSL) for Internet Protocol (IP) or
Internet Package eXchange (IPX) networking in corporate LAN access
or high-speed internet access applications.

Performance
Provisioning
Provisioning provides option selection and some status indications
including physical line rate, signaling type, service mode, polling
timers, Committed Information Rate (CIR), committed burst (Bc),
excess burst (Be), Quality Of Service (QOS), user-definable Data Link
Connection Identifier (DLCI), and test capabilities.
Status
Status tracks the performance of the Frame Access system components
at both Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC) and physical circuit levels.
Graphical presentations are provided as an aid in performance
assessment.
Alarm
Alarms are generated within the FramePort line cards and are
processed by ADVISION to track physical link failures and threshold
crossings. Oversubscription rates and trunk capacity can be monitored
in the Frame Access system.
Inventory
Inventory information provides a record of software revision, part
number, Common Language Equipment Identification (CLEI) code,
serial number, Internet Protocol (IP) address, and other applicable data.
Performance
Performance can be observed at the shelf, interface, and PVC levels
within the Frame Access system. Information includes ingress/egress
octet counts, oversubscription ratios, congestion information, errored
second counts, throughput, and signaling status. Historical information
is available through performance screens.

3. System Component
Description
Frame Access Shelf
Frame Access uses a cental site shelf that shares bandwidth with
multiple users across a common backplane. With Frame Relay as its
basis, Frame Access uses PVCs to form the conduit through which
data is exchanged. The PVC inherently allows a higher degree of
security and manageability than other protocols that operate in a
common bus environment. Because Frame Relay operates at the data
link protocol layer, it is independent of the physical loop interface
technology, allowing a high degree of flexibility in user access
methods. Frame Access employs a modular line card approach to
accommodate long loop and high-speed designs, or the latest
technologies that combine the attributes of both high-speed and loop
extension.
The Frame Access shelf has been developed with the sophistication of
the Frame Relay switch, employing parameters such as CIR, Bc, Be,
and QOS. The Frame Access shelf and its constituent line card
elements have been designed for “plug-and-play” applications through
flexible DLCI mapping schemes, automatic signaling detection and
conversion, and alarms and indicators. The Frame Access system
allows for a configurable oversubscription rate based on user
preferences.
Frame Access conforms to BellCore SR-2779, a conformance test
suite for Frame Relay switching components.
ADVISION Management
61100ADVISION-7A
ADVISION communicates management information with the Frame
Access shelf utilizing the data link layer Frame Relay protocol and the
network layer IP protocol suite. As illustrated in Figure 1.2, DLCI
900 is reserved as the management conduit to the Frame Access shelf
through which SNMP traffic is passed. DLCI 900 must be
interconnected through a Frame Relay network PVC to a router
sharing a virtual IP network with the managing workstation, either a
UNIX-based platform running HP OpenView and ADVISION or a PC
capable of establishing a TELNET session (TELNET is described in a
later section).

The Frame Access shelf
assumes that any traffic passed
through DLCI 900 is
management information
requiring a response (Figure
1.2). Management information
is exchanged in SNMP
protocol format, and it is
necessary to assign an IP
address to the Frame Access
shelf in order to establish
communications. Only a
single IP address is required
for the Frame Access shelf and
all of its subscriber line cards;
multiple IP addresses for each
subscriber interface are not
required (Figure 1.3).

End-User Equipment
Data delivery has been the focus of initial product development in the
Frame Access product line. ADTRAN end-user units typically
employed in current applications provide bridging and routing
capabilities, and Network Termination Units (NTU) that interoperate
with existing end-user routers are also available. Bridging mode and
multi-protocol routing capability are inherent features of these units,
including MAC, Spanning Tree Filtering, IP, Internet Package
eXchange (IPX), Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), NAT, Frame Relay,
and Packet Filtering. The 10baseT interface can be configured as a
hub or NIC, and unit configuration can be accomplished via the local
VT100 interface, TELNET, or SNMP MIB II and enterprise MIB.
4. ADVISION Navigation
Frame Access
System Component
Auto-Discovery
Hewlett Packard’s OpenView can be configured to automatically
discover IP-addressable devices attached to the monitored network and
place a symbol for them on the proper IP segment sub-map. For
Frame Access devices, this symbol represents the Frame Access Shelf.
As part of its integration with OpenView, ADVISION receives a
notice from OpenView that the symbol has been added and
automatically creates a second executable symbol for the shelf on the
shelf’s child sub-map. ADVISION’s discovery process via SNMP
access to the Frame Access shelf determines what slots in the shelf
contain Frame Access line cards and places symbols for each card on
the shelf sub-map. The di-group or individual FramePorts can be
accessed from the Modules Menu option located on the main di-group
View toolbar or by double clicking the associated icon.
In OpenView installations where OpenView’s auto-discovery feature
has been disabled, the user may use OpenView’s “loadhosts” process
to populate the map with Frame Access shelves. As with OpenView’s
auto-discovery process, ADVISION is notified of the addition and
populates the shelf’s child sub-map with all Frame Access line cards
within the shelf.
After a Frame Access shelf has been placed on the map, whenever a
Frame Access shelf is re-configured by a Frame Access card removal
or insertion, ADVISION does not automatically revise OpenView’s
sub-map. Whenever a card is added to or removed from the shelf, a
trap noting the configuration change is issued to the OpenView
Management System by the Frame Access shelf. Upon receipt of the
trap notification, the OpenView user should initiate a manual
rediscovery of the Frame Access shelf and proper configuration is
displayed on its sub-map.
61100ADVISION-7A
1.5
Chapter 1
TM
Frame Access
NOTE
A manual rediscovery is also necessary whenever a shelf is
assigned an IP address which had been previously assigned to
a different device.
To initiate a rediscovery of Frame Access shelf:
• Select the desired shelf on the HP OpenView map (note that the
user must have Read/Write access to the map).
• Execute ADVISION’s discovery process by selecting Misc >
ADVISION Manager > ADVISION Discovery from the
OpenView map menu bar.
The discovery process interrogates the Frame Access shelf and updates
its sub-map with the new set of Frame Access line cards.
Login Security
The ADVISION graphical user interface (GUI) enforces a security
scheme for SNMP access to ensure a user has proper authorization for
the requested type of operation. ADVISION grants access to users at
four privilege levels:
• Provision: Complete ReadWrite capability including the ability
to make provisioning changes on the Frame Access cards and
shelves.
• ReadWrite: View current status, configuration, and provisioning
data and initiate tests on the Frame Access line cards and shelves.
• ReadOnly: View current status, configuration, and provisioning
data.
• None: No access to any ADVISION GUI features.
When the ADVISION GUI is initiated from the OpenView map, the
UNIX user associated with the OpenView map session is automatically
logged in as the current user and all access is based on his defined
privilege. Once the GUI is active, another user may execute a Login
procedure and change the assigned privilege to his assigned privileges.
From within ADVISION, a user can activate the Login dialog box by
selecting File > Login from the GUI menu. In the Login dialog box,
the current user name and assigned privileges are displayed. To
change user accounts, enter the new user name and password, and
select Done. The system verifies the username and password and, if
valid, grants the access privileges associated with the new user. User
names and passwords must be defined in the underlying UNIX
environment.
1.6
61100ADVISION-7A
Chapter 1
TM
Frame Access
All user privilege assignments are maintained in the file “auth” in the
ADVISION installation directory. It contains a list of defined users
(one per line) with their assigned privilege denoted by “Provision”,
“ReadWrite,” “ReadOnly,” or “None.” Standard UNIX file
permissions should be set to prevent modification of the “auth” file by
unauthorized personnel.

System Navigation
1. Introduction
ADVISION is initiated by navigating through the network map to a
screen that contains an ADTRAN-based element, as shown in Figure
3.1. The user can choose to display either the populated channel bank
or an individual card in that bank. Figure 3.1 shows the display from
which the ADVISION GUI is launched.
There are three ways to launch the ADVISION GUI:
1. Single-click on an ADTRAN object and select the following from
the pull-down menu:
Path:
Misc > ADVISION Manager > ADVISION
2. Or, right-click on an ADTRAN object and select ADVISION from
the pop-up menu.
3. Or, double-click any executable ADTRAN object.
NOTE
Executable objects have a raised, button-like appearance.
The “~” is used to designate physical slot locations of line
cards within a shelf (i.e., ~1 is slot #1, ~2 is slot #2).

2. Accessing
Management
Functions
The shelf configuration can be displayed in detail by opening the
channel bank icon. The user may select an individual line card by
double clicking on the card. An example of the channel bank display
is shown in Figure 3.2.
NOTE
If new cards are
installed in the bank, a
procedure
called
AutoDiscover must be
performed . This allows
ADVISION to update its
memory with the new
cards so they will be
recognized and reflected
on the channel bank
display.
Figure 3.2. Channel Bank Display
The user can access
management functions for any
of the individual line cards by
using the right-mouse button
and clicking on the card or by
using the Modules menu located
on the Channel Bank display. If
the user wishes to access an
individual card from the
OpenView map (Figure 3.1),
double click on the card symbol
and a display of the card should
appear as in Figure 3.3.
NOTE
A double click from the
Channel Bank display
(Figure 3.2) will also
launch an individual
card.

3. Device Status and
Polling Display
The channel bank and individual line card displays reflect current
operational status. The faceplate LEDs will reflect the current status of
the circuit or card as it appears to the user in the field. The buttons
near the bottom of the display maintain polling data as ADVISION
polls the bank and cards for up-to-date status information. A
description of the buttons follows:
Interval
Poll
Normal
Reset
61100ADVISION-7A
Used to suspend and resume automatic polling. When the button is
labeled Interval, automatic polling is enabled. Clicking the button
once suspends polling, after which the button will be labeled
Suspended. Clicking the button again will resume polling. The time
increment below the button is the automatic polling interval and can
be configured by the user.
Used to manually poll the system. When automatic polling is
suspended, clicking this button will initiate a manual poll. A manual
poll will be initiated every time this button is depressed. In addition,
when a poll is initiated, either manually or automatically, this button
will flash yellow to indicate that a poll was taken. The time increment
below the button represents the automatic polling interval in the event
of a timeout condition.
This button is not active, and therefore does not perform any
functions. The time indicated below is the time it took the shelf or card
in milliseconds to respond to the poll. If a poll times out, this button
will turn blue and read Timeout. The system then uses the time interval
associated with the Poll button as its poll interval. If the poll
experiences an error, the button turns red and displays Error. The
system will automatically suspend polling. To resume polling, click
the button labeled “Suspend.”
Used to reset the poll counter. The number below the button is a poll
counter and increases by one each time a poll is taken. Clicking this
button will reset the counter to zero.

2. Channel Bank
Configuration
It is necessary to first configure the channel bank di-group with the
management station IP address and tftp IP address for flash
downloading future software updates. The management station IP
address will be the recipient of SNMP traps sent by the system.
NOTE
It is not necessary to provision the channel bank di-group for
signaling type or signaling mode because the di-group
equipped with at least a single line card will automatically
detect the signaling protocol from the switch.
Di-Group Provisioning
Poll timers, timeout values, and threshold values are
configurable and are defaulted to industry
standard values and cannot be changed.
From the Main Channel Bank display choose:
Path:

Status
The FramePort automatically detects signalling from the frame
relay switch. Status of the establishment of successful signaling
can be observed by choosing:
Path:
Device >Status > Di-Group Status
The Di-Group Status display is shown in Figure 4.2.
If PVC is not indicated, or an alarm condition is present,
troubleshooting procedures should be initiated (refer to Chapter 7,
Database Server Exits).
The front panel display of the individual line card will also
indicate the status of the network interface by selecting NTWK
with the port select button and observing the green PVC LED. If
the PVC LED is illuminated, then signaling has been established
with the Frame Relay switch.
Note that, as an inband
managed system, a failure in
network signalling will result
in a loss of management access
to the di-group.

Customer DLCI always defaults to 100 and increments
sequentially for each port for consistency and ease of
implementation. The customer DLCI is configurable and can be
set to any value within standard Frame Relay implementations
because it is significant only to the customer interface. Network
DLCI is not configurable through the menu and is predetermined
by slot position. Table 4.1 shows network DLCI assignments.

(for SUN stations with
Solaris)
Installation errors
Device is not on map (recognized by OpenView)
Database server (advdb) exits
ADVISION (GUI) does not launch
GUI polling problems
GUI is non-responsive
System may return error on file /usr/OV/lib/libDtHelp.so.1 while
trying to start advdb and/or other ADVISION processes. The problem
is most likely a compatibility issue between the SUN workstation that
is loaded with Solaris 2.5.1 and OpenView 5.0. The problem arises
from an update to the above file. To resolve, create a softlink to an
older file in /usr/dt/lib/ using the following procedure:
cd /usr/OV/lib
ln –s /usr/dt/lib/libDtHelp.so.1
Also, ensure the workstation is equipped with Common Desktop
Environment (CDE).
NOTE
CDE does not have to be running, just installed.

Frame Access
Device Is Not On Map
It is possible that HP OpenView will not recognize a particular
element and, therefore, has not placed it on the map. Consequently
ADVISION will not recognize it either. Verify the following
conditions are satisfied:
• Ensure you can ping the device by selecting OpenView menu item
Fault and choosing Ping option. You will need to know the IP
Address for this operation.
• Ensure SNMP access is available by selecting Misc and choosing
SNMP MIB Browser from the OpenView Map menu.
• Ensure Community String is correct by selecting Options and
then choosing SNMP Configuration from the OpenView Map
menu.
Ensure that timeouts and retries are adequate especially during
communication over lower bandwidth WANs.
Verify the network segment(s) which the unit is on, is managed. Select
the segment symbol and choose Manage Objects from the OpenView
Map menu.
• If using auto-discovery (netmon) and filters are defined, ensure
that filters include these ADTRAN devices. This will ensure
devices are recognized upon launching the auto-discovery query.
For example:
AdtranNodes “Adtran Nodes”
{ isADTRAN || (vendor == “ADTRAN” ) }.
• If not using auto-discovery, then use:
loadhosts node_filename where node_filename is a file
in the same form as /etc/hosts/: ip_address host_name.
In some cases it may be necessary to add argument to the command to
identify the type of device being added. To add a di-group shelf use:
loadhosts –o Adtran_oid node_filename where Adtran_oid is in the
form of 1.2.6.1.4.1.664.1.200.
NOTE
All units in the file must be of the same type.

Database Server
(advdb) Exits
This problem will be indicated by an error message stating a loss of
connection from ADVISION, advstat and/or advdisc.
• Check by performing:
$OV_BIN/ovstatus advdb
(checks ADVISION status; running, failed, etc.)
• Look at following files to determine reason for failure:
$OV_LOG/advdb.err
$OV_LOG/advdb.log
• Restart by performing:
$OV_BIN/ovstart advdb
ADVISION (GUI) Does Not

If the GUI does not launch any of the methods mentioned earlier,
check the following:
• “File bin/advision not found” displayed when GUI is launched.

a. Check terminal session from which OpenView map was
launched. Determine if any message exists, primarily:
No classes match that product ID ( # / # )
b. Execute manual ADVISION discovery.
c. If problem continues, ensure object is properly defined:
Right click the device map symbol and select Describe/Modify
Object. Choose AdvisionStatus from list and left click View/
Modify Object Attributes. Verify if ADTRAN Product Type
is correct. If so, stop and restart the database server.
GUI Polling Problems
Device and/or MIB View gets consistent polling timeouts. Ensure you
can ping the device by selecting menu item Fault and choosing Ping.
• Ensure SNMP accessibility by selecting menu item Misc and then
choosing SNMP MIB Browser.
• Ensure Community String is correct by selecting menu item
Options and choosing SNMP Configuration.
• Ensure timeouts and retries parameters are adequate units
especially if you are communicating over lower bandwidth
WANs.
• Device and/or MIB View gets polling errors.
Capture SNMP I/O by enabling dump of SNMP traffic:
• Close OpenView map
Define environment variable adsnmp dump which will force a
formatted output of SNMP messages between all ADVISION
processes and devices to be generated. To define the variable and
route all output to a file enter the following:
export adsnmpdump=TRUE
ovw >snmp.log
Navigate to offending view, suspending polling wherever possible.
Exit ADVISION and get copy of log file.

GUI Non-Responsive
• If GUI does not appear to respond and cursor is pointing
northeast instead of northwest, as when selecting a menu item,
resolve by hitting “ESC.”
• If GUI does not respond and cursor is normal (northwest),
typically a system-modal dialog requiring a response has been
overlayed by another window. Cycle through all the windows
via the Workplace Menu. Right click on the desktop/workspace
and select ShuffleUp or ShuffleDown.
This completes the troubleshooting section. If you are unable to
resolve the problem using these procedures, contact ADTRAN for
assistance.
