Riverstone Networks 1300 - Manual (Page 7)

INTUITIVE GUI
The Alcatel-Lucent 1300 CMC provides an intuitive GUI
for simple network management. An animated network
map displays the equipment and enables the operator to
navigate easily through all configuration and maintenance
functions. For ease of monitoring and management, alarms
from all relevant equipment are conveniently displayed in
one alarm list; centralized alarm management helps to
increase network availability.
Task-oriented forms step the operator through proce-
dures and minimize input errors by leading the operator
from field to field and restricting input to only the accepted
values for a given situation (see Figure 3). More complex
operations, such as clearing certain alarms and provisioning
routing data, are further supported by task procedures,
which combine several task-oriented forms.
SUBSCRIBER AND ROUTING PROVISIONING
The Alcatel-Lucent 1300 CMC also provides co-operative
management and service management applications for
subscriber provisioning and routing provisioning.
The Alcatel-Lucent 1000 Extended Assistant Routing
System (EARS) is a Unix-based database application inte-
grated into the Alcatel-Lucent 5020 MGC for flexible and
enhanced handling of routing data. This application improves
routing data capacity and routing processing performance.
It also supports network-wide routing by providing
centralized routing for multiple network elements.
The Alcatel-Lucent 1000 EARS service provisioning
system (SPS) manages routing of related data in persistent
databases via a GUI and XML northbound interface.
In order to optimize the division of revenue, the Alcatel-
Lucent 1000 EARS enables rapid adaptation of routing
data to changing costs for inter-operator calls.
OSS INTERFACES
The Alcatel-Lucent 1300 CMC provides standardized
interfaces for service provisioning and inventory data,
service assurance, and routing. It also supports perfor-
mance data collection and forwarding to the OSS for the
following NEs: Alcatel-Lucent 5020 CSC, Alcatel-Lucent
5020 MGC, Alcatel-Lucent 7510 MG, Alcatel-Lucent 8690
OSP, Acme, and Convedia.
The Alcatel-Lucent 1300 CMC provides inventory data
for several nodes (e.g. location, site) and network types.
It supports initial download and synchronization func-
tions. Software management features are supported
centrally. The Alcatel-Lucent 1300 CMC provides open
OSS interfaces based on the de-facto standard XML.
Alcatel-Lucent’s service provisioning is an open web
service, based on Axiom (OEM product) which uses the
Alcatel-Lucent 1300 CMC service provisioning interface.
Alcatel-Lucent’s inventory management application is
based on Cramer (OEM product) which uses the Alcatel-
Lucent 1300 CMC inventory interface.
