1.       S̲C̲O̲P̲E̲

         The aim of this document is to describe the NIP-process.  The NIP-modules receives all incoming
         control messages from FIKS to the SCC.

1.1      I̲N̲T̲R̲O̲D̲U̲C̲T̲I̲O̲N̲

         The NIP-module consists of one process (NIP).  NIP processes all control messages received
         through the CM-queue.  For each control message, the NIP contains associated handling overlay.

3.1.1    M̲o̲n̲i̲t̲o̲r̲i̲n̲g̲ ̲o̲f̲ ̲N̲e̲t̲w̲o̲r̲k̲

         The status of the FIKS Network is monitored by the SCC through:

         -   Event reports sent by the elements in the network (SCC, NODE, MEDE) when a reportable
             event is detected.

         -   Polled status reports, sent to the SCC on request by the SCC.

3.1.1.1  E̲v̲e̲n̲t̲ ̲R̲e̲p̲o̲r̲t̲s̲

         Event reports can be received from SCC, NODE and/or MEDE.  An event report can be subdivided
         into:

         o   REPORTS containing large amounts of data not directly related to an event in the network
             (except for requests or timers).

         o   EVENTS which are sent to the SCC as a result of a specific event that occurred in the
             network.  An EVENT will usually only contain enough data to describe the event.


         A:  E̲v̲e̲n̲t̲ ̲r̲e̲p̲o̲r̲t̲s̲ ̲f̲r̲o̲m̲ ̲t̲h̲e̲ ̲S̲C̲C̲:̲

             Reports:
             
             o   NICS-TARE and Conversion message statistics are, once per hour, sent form the narrative
                 message queue program module (CIP).

             Events:

             o   Remote SCC status is sent to the collocated SCC as soon as a change in the remote
                 SCC status is detected.

             o   Remote SCC NICS-TARE link status is sent to the collocated SCC as soon as a change
                 in the remote NICS-TARE link status is detected.

             o   File update records will be sent to the stand-by SCC whenever the active SCC makes
                 changes in the ANO, AIG and SSP files.

         B:  E̲v̲e̲n̲t̲ ̲r̲e̲p̲o̲r̲t̲s̲ ̲f̲r̲o̲m̲ ̲t̲h̲e̲ ̲N̲O̲D̲E̲:̲

             Reports:

             o   A statistical report message is sent to the SCC for each full hour.

                 An hourly report message is sent to the SCC for each full hour.


             Events:

             o   Each time the NODE detects a change in the NODE status, the complete NODE status
                 is sent to the SCC, and it is then up to the SCC to detect which parameters are changed.

                 The NODE status contains:

                 -   Neighbor NODE status
                 -   Trunk status (open, closed, error, etc.)
                 -   Crypto failure indication
                 -   Orbit error indication
                 -   Data User routing change.

         C:  E̲v̲e̲n̲t̲ ̲r̲e̲p̲o̲r̲t̲s̲ ̲f̲r̲o̲m̲ ̲t̲h̲e̲ ̲M̲E̲D̲E̲

             Reports:
         
             o   A statistical report message is sent to the SCC for each full hour.

             o   An hourly report message is sent to the SCC for each full hour.

             o   An on-line diagnostic result message is sent to the SCC whenever requested by the
                 SCC.


             Events:

             o   It is reported to the SCC, each time a change is made in an operator security profile
                 at the MEDE in question.

             o   A message is sent to the SCC each time the MEDE detects a change in the following
                 status parameters:

                 -   MEDE switch in/over
                 -   MEDE stand-by availability
                 -   DISK status.

3.1.1.2  P̲o̲l̲l̲e̲d̲ ̲S̲t̲a̲t̲u̲s̲

         Status will be requested from the NODE (NODE status) and from the MEDE (on-line diagnostics).

         The polled status ensures that an SCC, after start-up as active, will register a correct
         network status and perform correct routing control with a minimum of orbit errors.



3.1.2    N̲e̲t̲w̲o̲r̲k̲ ̲I̲n̲f̲o̲

         A:  I̲n̲f̲o̲ ̲f̲r̲o̲m̲ ̲N̲O̲D̲E̲

             REQ:

             o   Requests for NODE status are sent by the NIP time processing module in order to facilitate
                 the polling function.

         B:  I̲n̲f̲o̲ ̲f̲r̲o̲m̲/̲t̲o̲ ̲M̲E̲D̲E̲

             INFO:

             o   As response to an SCC operator command, the 24 hour statistics record is generated
                 at the SCC and sent to the MEDE for printout.

             REQ:

             o   Requests for on-line diagnostics are sent by the NIP time processing module (STRQ)
                 in order to facilitate the polling function.


3.1.3    N̲e̲t̲w̲o̲r̲k̲ ̲S̲t̲a̲t̲u̲s̲ ̲M̲a̲i̲n̲t̲e̲n̲a̲n̲c̲e̲

         The NIP maintains some network status in memory, some is stored on disk, and the rest of
         the FIKS network status is sent to a hardcopy printer.



3.1.3.1  S̲t̲a̲t̲u̲s̲ ̲I̲n̲ ̲M̲e̲m̲o̲r̲y̲

         The current state of:

         o   SCC's

         o   NICS-TARE links
             
         o   NODE's

         o   MEDE's

         are maintained in memory using the network event reports and the polled status as input.

         The status in memory (FIKS STATUS) is displayed to the operator at the following locations:

         o   Color-TV status display contains the "Network Status"

         o   Upper VDU screen contains the SCC queue status

         o   Audible alarm horn sounds whenever an alarm has entered the FIKS status.

         The FIKS status is used by various NSC modules for checkout of current status and update
         as necessary.

         …86…W         …02…   …02…   …02…   …02…                                           
3.1.3.2  S̲t̲a̲t̲u̲s̲ ̲O̲n̲ ̲H̲a̲r̲d̲c̲o̲p̲y̲

         One queue is assigned to each of the three Receive Only Printers of the SCC.

         LOG-queue:

         a regular generation and transmission of requests for NODE status and MEDE diagnostics.

         Each time the STRQ sends a new request, an outstanding request counter is incremented.

         Each time the NIP receives a requested control message, the outstanding request counter is
         reset.

         A separate counter for outstanding requests of NODE status and MEDE diagnostics is maintained
         in the FST file (table).

         Each time one of the counters is incremented, the counter value is compared with a threshold
         value.

         When the counter passes the threshold value, the event will be logged.

         The following polling cycle times are valid:

             every 9 minutes, NODE status is requested from each NODE.

             every 1 1/2 minutes, MEDE diagnostics are requested from all MEDE's.

3.3.4.2.1    I̲n̲t̲r̲o̲d̲u̲c̲t̲i̲o̲n̲

         The STRQ sends out requests (EPM's) for NODE status and MEDE status (on-line diagnostics).

         Each time a request is produced, an outstanding request counter in FST is incremented and
         compared with a threshold value.

         If the threshold value is reached, the condition results in a second EPM, identifying the
         alerting event.

         See also chapter 3.3.4.1.2.1.6 and 3.3.4.1.2.1.7 for a description of processing of the requested
         status.

         The STRQ will prepare to receive AMOS interrupts (messages) at regular intervals.

         Each time an interrupt is received, two elapse time counters will be decremented.  When one
         counter reaches zero, it is time to request MEDE status and when the other counter reached
         zero, it is time to request NODE status.

         After reaching zero, the counters are preset to a value corresponding to the following polling
         timer:

         -   NODE STATUS: every 9 minutes
         -   MEDE status: every 1 1/2 minutes

             Decrement counters

             If counter is zero
                 then:

                 -   preset counter
                 -   increment FST, MST/NST (MOC/NOC)
                 -   compare counters with threshold values
                     and update FST, MST/NST (MDS/NSR) accordingly
                 -   if threshold is reached,
                       then
                          generate EPM: TRM, RMMS/RMNS

             Generate EPM: TSR, SRMS/SRNS

             UPS in Table FRD.
