Introduction
This document is a user guide for ADTRAN’s OPTI-6100®OPTI-APPS (P/N 1184568G1).
Figure 1 illustrates the OPTI-APPS start-up screen. Revision 3.0 supports Windows 10, with
no other changes.

Introduction
61184568G1-31C 3
Description
OPTI-APPS operates from a Microsoft Windows environment to provide management access
to one or more OPTI-6100 Network Element (NE). OPTI-APPS is a Java-based application, and
almost completely self-contained, to run on virtually any PC.
OPTI-APPS provides full, real-time OAM&P access to remote OPTI-6100 NEs through
OPTI-6100 Gateway NEs (GNEs) or a wide range of third-party GNEs supporting TL1 OSI.
OPTI-APPS supports automatic alarm retrieval and reporting, plus menu sessions for provi-
sioning and maintenance.
OPTI-APPS can access the network through the Central Office Ethernet LAN, or by way of a
serial connection to a GNE local craft port.
Features
OPTI-APPS supports the following features:
• Lightweight and compact Java application; small footprint is ideal for laptops
• Real-time troubleshooting and maintenance for OPTI-6100 systems
• Alarm view and menu access of all OPTI-6100 NEs
• File transfer to/from remote OPTI-6100 NEs
• TL1-based, compatible with third-party NEs supporting standard DCC OSI management
• Full access to OPTI-6100 NEs through either OPTI-6100 GNE or third-party SONET GNE
• Ability to build logical network topology
•FTOT

Requirements
The operating and firmware requirements for OPTI-APPS are as follows:
• Operating Environment Requirements
– Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.5 or later when using Windows 7.
– Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.8 or later when using Windows 10.
• OPTI-6100 Minimum Software Requirements
– For FTOT and Alarm Display: System Release 3.0 or greater
– For Menus: System Release 5.0 or greater

Installation
This section describes how to install the OPTI-APPS application, plus software necessary for
its operation.
Java Runtime Environment
Being Java-based, OPTI-APPS requires Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.8.0 or later
when using Windows 10 and JRE 1.5.0 when using Windows 7. This section details how to
verify if an appropriate JRE version is already installed. If it is not, further instructions are
included for installing the provided version.
To ensure a compatible version of the JRE is installed, complete the following steps:
1. From the Windows Start Menu, select Run....
The Windows Run dialog box (Figure 2) appears.
Figure 2. Windows Run Dialog Box
2. In the Open field, type cmd. Click OK.
A DOS shell and command prompt appears.
3. At the command prompt, type java –version. Press ENTER.
If the JRE has already been installed, a response message indicates the version number.
For example:
java version "1.5.0_06"
Java (TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_06-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_06-b05, mixed mode, sharing)
4. If the required JRE version is installed, skip to “Install and Configure OPTI-APPS” on
page 5.
5. Download and install the required version of the JRE, visit http://www.oracle.com.

Installation
61184568G1-31C 5
Install and Configure OPTI-APPS
OPTI-APPS is virtually self-contained, and can be installed with a simple drag-and-drop, plus
a few quick set-up steps.
If a previous OPTI-APPS release exists, complete the following steps:
NOTE
Make sure to use a Java version that is 64-bit when using Windows 10.
To install and run OPTI-APPS, complete the following steps:
1. Copy the file OPTI-APPS_#.#.jar onto the computer, at any convenient location.
NOTE
The application can be placed in any accessible directory or even directly
onto the Windows desktop. This one file contains the entire application,
with the exception of a few data files that are installed automatically. The
application file can be renamed, but must retain the .jar extension.
2. Double-click the OPTI-APPS icon to launch.
The End User License Agreement appears.
3. Read the EULA. Click Accept to continue, or Cancel to end.
NOTICE
OPTI-APPS cannot be used unless the EULA has been accepted.
Once the EULA has been accepted, additional files necessary to run OPTI-APPS are
placed in the Users directory (see Figure 3):
C:\Documents and Settings\[username directory]\OPTI-APPS

4. Copy the following files from the previous.../optiapps/misc folder and paste them into
the new .../optiapps/ misc folder.
• telnet_session.bat
• OptiApps_EULA.html
• OptiApps.xml

Overview
61184568G1-31C 7
Overview
This section is a description of the OPTI-APPS interface, its controls, and its basic operation.
Workflow information can be found in later sections.
The OPTI-APPS interface is a three-pane, user-sizeable window environment (see Figure 5).
The OPTI-APPS window can be resized like any standard Windows application, and offers
other typical Windows functionality.
Figure 5. OPTI-APPS Three-Pane Environment
Basic Controls
The OPTI-APPS interface can be altered in the following ways:
• Resize the OPTI-APPS interface by clicking and dragging the window edges or corners.
• Maximize/minimize OPTI-APPS using the window control icons (right end of title bar).
• To make any area of the OPTI-APPS interface larger or smaller without changing the size
of the OPTI-APPS window, click-and-drag the separators between the application panes.
• To provide even more space to a particular area, click the small triangular controls on the
separators to show or hide entire panes.

Navigation Pane
The upper left area of the OPTI-APPS window is the Navigation Pane (Nav Pane). In this area,
the GNEs and their subtended OPTI-6100s are displayed in boxed fields. Multiple GNEs and
their associated NEs can be built in this window.
NOTE
At installation, OPTI-APPS is pre-set with one GNE, subtending one NE.
Select a GNE or NE in the Navigation Pane to display configuration information and alarms
associated with that element, in the Nav Pane and Alarm Pane, respectively.
If more elements have been built than can be shown in the window at one time, a vertical
scrollbar appears, to allow access to elements that have been moved out of the display.
NOTE
Right-click any element to show a pop-up context (or “right-click”) menu.
This menu provides tools and shortcuts to manage the Nav Pane
contents. It has different options for Gateway or Remote NEs. Context
menu options are noted where applicable in the following topics.
Expanding/Collapsing the Element Tree
GNEs and their subtended NEs are listed in a tree format. A root level (the OPTI-APPS title)
allows collective access to the GNEs. The GNE level of the tree is always displayed. To show
or hide remote NEs subtended from a GNE, click the plus/minus ( ) control to the left of
the GNE, or double-click the GNE.
Subtended NEs are displayed below the subtending GNE. In Figure 6, GNE WEST is
collapsed (left). Clicking WEST’s plus control expands the tree to show subtended NE
SYSTEST-08 (right). The plus control turns to a minus, which can be clicked to collapse WEST.
Figure 6. Expanding/Collapsing the Navigation Tree
NOTE
When a GNE box is collapsed (NEs hidden), the highest level of alarm
reported by a subtended NE is displayed on the GNE. In Figure 6, WEST
displays a Major Alarm reported by subtended, but hidden, SYSTEST-08.
When SYSTEST-08 is shown, WEST no longer displays an alarm.

Configuration Pane
The upper right area of the OPTI-APPS window is the Configuration Pane (Config Pane). This
is where GNEs and NEs are configured. Once an element is selected in the Nav Pane, the
Config Pane displays options to enter, review, or edit information about that element.
NOTE
Until an element is selected, the Config Pane displays the start-up
graphic.
An NE in the Nav Pane should be under the subtending GNE. If the NE is below the wrong
GNE, it must be moved before it is configured.
A GNE only needs to be configured once, regardless of how many NEs it subtends.
Figure 7 illustrates the Config Panes for a Gateway NE (left) and a Remote NE (right).
Figure 7. Configuration Pane: GNE (Left) and NE (Right)
Options in the Config Pane may vary, based upon the selection of a GNE or an NE in the Nav
Pane. The options can also vary based on other selected options.
Table 3 on page 11 describes the configuration options and fields in the GNE Config Pane.
Table 4 on page 12 describes the configuration options and fields in the NE Config Pane.
