NE display threshold for equipment groups in navigation tree — maximum NEs displayed in expanded equipment group
Equipment groups can contain up to 2000 NEs. The GUI navigation tree display a maximum of 500 NEs per group.
You can set the NE display threshold for Equipment Group parameter to accomplish any of the following:
-
To display all the NEs in equipment groups that contain no more than 500 NEs, set the parameter to 500.
-
To display a small number of NEs per equipment group, set the parameter to a low value. The minimum setting is 2. You can use the NE list form to access and manage the NEs in the group, and you can show additional NEs in the tree if required. See
“To manage NEs in equipment groups on the navigation tree”in the NSP NFM-P User Guide.
-
To allow the display of enough NEs to meet your typical requirements while also allowing additional NEs to show in the tree if necessary, set the parameter to a value in the middle of the range. This is useful if you have more than 500 NEs in a group. For example, if the parameter is set to 300, then 300 of the NEs in the group are displayed in the tree. You can select and display up to 200 additional NEs in that group before the limit of 500 is reached. Select the additional NEs to show in the tree from the NE list form for the group; see
“To manage NEs in equipment groups on the navigation tree” in the NSP NFM-P User Guide.
You must close and re-open the NFM-P client for changes to the NE display threshold for Equipment Group parameter to take effect. The change is propagated to all GUI clients during the next client startup. |

TCA |
Allows you to configure the default behavior associated with configuring TCA policies such as specifying the maximum TCA limit, the TCA reset synchronization time or reset interval, and the default TCA severity. |
NSP NFM-P User Guide |
Statistics |
Allows you to configure the default behavior associated when exporting statistics files, such as specifying the log file retention and rollover times. |
NSP NFM-P Statistics Management Guide |
Allows you to enable or disable the database storage of statistics; when database storage is disabled for a statistics type, the statistics data is retained only temporarily on a main or auxiliary server, and must be retrieved using the registerLogToFile XML API method |
NSP NFM-P Statistics Management Guide |
The Accumulate time over suspect intervals parameter specifies how to manage the Periodic Time of the first valid statistics record after a suspect collection of the record.
When the parameter is enabled, the Periodic Time of a record increases by the collection interval length after each consecutive suspect collection. Consequently, the periodic data values in the first valid record are averaged over a greater time span to yield a more realistic value. |
NSP NFM-P Statistics Management Guide |
Allows you to configure the number of JMS client connection checks that are performed when exporting statistics files before a registerLogToFile request is automatically de-registered. |
NSP NFM-P XML API Developer Guide |
Allows you to specify whether the accounting policy ID is included in the header of each accounting file. The function enables an OSS to use XML API filters based on the policy ID, if required. |

User Activity |
Allows you to configure how much user activity log information the NFM-P stores before purging information, and how long to retain the information. |
What is user activity logging? |
OLC |
Allows you to configure the default behavior associated with OLC state of an object that is undergoing commissioning or maintenance. You can configure the following:
-
In the Automatic OLC State Change panel, enable or disable the Enable Automatic OLC State change parameter to indicate whether the OLC state is automatically set to maintenance when the following actions occur:
-
When the Administrative state is down.
-
If the status of the parent object is set to administratively down.
-
If the affecting object administrative state is down.
If the Enable Automatic OLC State change parameter is enabled, a Shut Down action sets the object OLC state to Maintenance and a Turn Up action sets the object OLC state to In Service. This state change is also applied to any child objects, unless the child object OLC state is locked in maintenance mode.
-
In the OLC Scheduling panel, for scheduled objects that are set to maintenance mode, enable the Create Info Alarm Prior to OLC Revert, if an info alarm is to be raised prior to an OLC revert and the lead time of the alarm notification before reverting.
-
In the OLC Scheduling panel, you can customize the three revert times that appear for the Revert OLC State parameter in the in the OLC panel on service and network object properties forms. |
How do I schedule an OLC state change? |
Policies |
Allows you to display or hide the policy names on policy configuration forms for the following:
-
Access ingress and access egress policies
-
