Classification
Harmful to safety of the customer caused by the product. Principles Main principles of handling major accidents are: Once user identified or report the critical fault (level-1 fault), it is required to clear the faults and restore the system as soon as possible, so that the damage or loss caused by the fault should be minimal. Customers interest should be taken care and try to protect it. In the meantime, user can get technical support from ZTE local office or product division. Sometimes faults may arise through the system. Faults such as total or partial power failure, network failure and database failure and other causes. User must thoroughly check the system, so that power and communication are confirmed without any faults. Then user may shift to Alarm management system to locate the possible node in which problem exists. Procedures Once major accident happens, call the authority department immediately and report him to take timely measure to rectify the problem. Afterwards, submit a failure report to the authority department and supervisors. Besides these, organize relevant technicians, units and equipment suppliers to figure out causes of the accident, so that notes for effective measures can be taken from the subsequent operation to avoid its happening again. After handling major accident, fill in the detailed major accident record carefully and archive it. Procedural flow of handling major accidents is shown in Figure 1.

Fault on OMP backplane RMPB. OMP has been shut down or it is restarting. Troubleshooting Following actions can be taken to avoid interruption between NM server and MP. Check whether the MP is running normal. Check whether the network cable and switch is normal. Check the status of network adapter of NM server. Check the network configurations of NM server and MP are correct. Precautions If the NM server and MP are not located in the same LAN, please check the corresponding IP address configuration and gateway configuration are correct.

User activation does not exist. NAI does not support it. Troubleshooting Following measures can be taken to avoid the fault. Check whether the NAI configured in the background is correct. These configuration items are related with the establishment of classifier on AGWUP board. Re-activate the user.
Following measures are taken to avoid the fault. Check if there is any route existing from RADIUS server to RADIUS client. Check the address of RADIUS client is configured on the background. Preferably the RADIUS address should be located in same network segment as the signaling address of the AGW. If address of RADIUS client is different from signaling address of the AGW, add the address of RADIUS client. Check the communication between the RADIUS server and the GGLP to see that they are in same network segment. Find the s e r v e r . c f g file on RADIUS server and change IP address into the address of RADIUS server. Run RADIUS server configurations and add a client in the client configurations, fill in the IP address and share key of the RADIUS client, open [Control Panel --> Services] to stop the z x R A D I U S service, and then restart the service. Precautions Following precautionary methods should be taken. Refer to file radius*.log to view the information, where * indicates the number. As there may be multiple log files, just find the latest one. User account suspended: User group where the user is located is set as "Attack protection", but the property should be set as "Normal". Password mismatch: Check the share key and password is correct.

Glossary
Byte A byte, generally, is an 8-bit quantity of information, used mainly in referring to parallel data transfer, and data storage; also generally referred to in data communications as an octet or character. In a premises distribution system, an equipment room is a special purpose room(s), with access to the backbone wiring, for housing Telecommunications, data processing, security and alarm equipment. In local area networks (LANs), a hub is wiring concentrator equipment used in hierarchical star physical wiring topologies. Those directly connected to terminals or other user devices are of ten referred to as local hubs or concentrators. Central hubs are those at the highest hierarchical level. Hubs often provide the means for interconnecting 10BaseT, coaxial or fiber optic cable LAN segments. Intelligent hubs may implement multiport bridging and network management functions. Metropolitan area network established to provide high quality services but in limited area. Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access Installs, repairs, or removes software according to instructions contained in .MSI files provided with the applications. If disabled, the installation, removal, repair, and modification of applications that make use of the Windows Installer will fail. Some applications make use of this service while running and those applications might not run. Starts and configures accessibility tools from one window. Utility Manager allows faster access to some accessibility tools and also displays the status of the tools or devices that it controls. This program saves users time because an administrator can designate those certain features start when Windows 2000 starts. Utility Manager includes three built-in accessibility tools: Magnifier, Narrator, and On-Screen Keyboard. Modems are devices that transform digital signals generated by Data Terminal Equipments (DTE) to analog signal formats, suitable for transmission through the extensive, world-wide connectivity of public and private, switched (dial up) and nonswitched telephone voice networks. Redundant Array of Independent Disks for data backup.

Routers
In IEEE 802 local area network (LAN) standards, routers are devices that connect autonomous networks of like architecture at the network layer (layer 3). Unlike a bridge, which operates transparently to communicating end-terminals at the logical link layer (layer 2); a router reacts only to packets addressed to it by either a terminal or another router. Routers perform packet (as opposed to frame) routing and forwarding functions; they can select one of many potential paths based on transit delay, network congestion or other criteria. How routers perform their functions is largely determined by the protocols implemented in the networks they interconnect. In a network, a server is equipment that makes available file, database, printing, facsimile, communications or other services to client terminals/stations with access to the network. A gateway is a server that permits client terminal/station access to external communications networks and/or information systems. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Client manages network configuration by registering and updating IP addresses and Domain Name Server (DNS) names. Do not have to manually change the IP settings when a client, such as a roaming user, travels throughout the network. The client is automatically given a new IP address regardless of the subnet it reconnects toas long as a DHCP server is accessible from each of those subnets. Transmission control protocol/internet protocol. TCP/IP is the transport layer and Internet layer, respectively, of the Internet suite of protocols. TCP corresponds to layer 4 of the OSI protocol stack: IP performs some of the functions of layer 3. It is a connectionless protocol used primarily to connect dissimilar networks to each other. When hardware/software successfully cooperates with an Operating system or hardware, we call it as compatible with each other. Trunk 1. A heavy-duty telephone line. Trunk 3. A telephone trunk line. World Wide Web. A hypertext transmission protocol set up on Internet. Ethernet connection that uses UTP (Unshielded Twisted-Pair) wire.
