13 Chapter 1 Introduction This chapter explains the first steps required to get the RADview-EMS/TDM SNMP management system for OP-1553 up and running. It describes basic features of RADview-EMS/TDM OP-1553, OP-1553 system architecture, and concepts of the graphical user interface. For the specific tasks possible with RADview-EMS/TDM OP-1553, please refer to the subsequent chapters in this manual. This chapter covers the following tasks: Launching RADview-EMS/TDM OP-1553 Using the OP-1553 View window. 1.1 OP-1553 Hardware Overview OP-1553 is a stand alone unit which multiplexes up to 3 E3 or T3 channels over an STM-1 (SDH) or STS-3 (SONET) link. Two STM-1/STS-3 link modular cards are used for redundancy on the network side. Two hot swappable cards of main access and control are present, with 3 E3 channels (or 3 T3 channels) each, supporting hardware redundancy on the user side (where one is the active card and the second is the standby card). Both link cards are configured to be of the same medium type (either SONET or SDH). Both main access and control cards are configured to be of the same type (as both E3 or both T3). The OP-1553 can mix main access cards of DS3 with SDH links and main access E3 cards with SONET links. OP-1553 Hardware Overview 1-1

14 Chapter 1 Introduction RADview-EMS/TDM OP-1553 User s Manual OP-1553 Features 1.2 RADview-EMS/TDM OP-1553 Solution RADview-EMS/TDM provides a complete solution for monitoring and controlling OP The main features of RADview-EMS/TDM OP-1553 management are: Configuration of the OP-1553 device, including ETH port and CONTROL ports. Configuration, Fault, Diagnostics, and Performance Statistics of all E3/T3 channels, and the SONET/SDH link (port). 1.3 Launching RADview-EMS/TDM OP-1553 You begin using RADview-EMS/TDM OP-1553 by launching the OP-1553 View window. To open the OP-1553 View window: On the map, double-click the OP-1553 icon. The OP-1553 View window opens (Figure 1-1). You are now able to perform configuration and monitoring functions in the entire OP-1553 system. 1-2 Launching RADview-EMS/TDM OP-1553
