To configure a PM bin group policy

General information

You must configure and distribute a PM bin group policy to define the structure of the statistical bins and delay counts used to collect statistical data by the various PM session tests.

Steps
 
1 

Click Tools→PM Bin Group Policies on the NFM-P main menu. The PM Bin Group Policies form opens.

2 

Click Create or select an existing bin group and click Properties. The Bin Group (Create|Edit) form opens.

3 

Configure the required parameters.

4 

Click on the Bins tab. A list of pre-configured default bins is displayed.

  1. Click Create or select an existing bin object and click Properties. The Bin (Create|Edit) form opens.

  2. Configure the required parameters.

  3. Save your changes and close the form.

5 

Click on the Delay-events tab to collect TCA event statistics.

  1. Select a Bin Type from the list and click Properties. The TCA Config form opens.

  2. Configure the required parameters.

    As an example of the bin exclusion logic, if you configure the Lowest Bin = 4, the Lowest Bin to Exclude = Bin 5, and enable Bin 0 and Bin 6 in the Excluded Bins for Average block, then the following will occur:

    • Bins 5 and 6 will be excluded from triggering a threshold crossing alarm for this Bin Group.

    • Bins 0 and 6 will be excluded when the calculation of average delay is performed for an OAM-PM measurement interval.

  3. Save your changes and close the form.

6 

Click OK to save the policy and close the form, or click Apply to save the policy.

7 

Perform To release and distribute a policy to associate the policy to NEs.
