1 Positioning

4
 5520 AMS as an EMS

EMS = manager for NEs

5520 AMS

SNMP / TFTP ONT

NE xDSL
modem
EMS = Element Management System
NE = Network Element

5
A model of tasks

Fault management
alarm handling, trouble detection, trouble correction, test and acceptance,
network recovery

Configuration management
system turnup, network provisioning, autodiscovery, backup and restore,
database handling

Accounting management
track service usage, bill of services

Performance management
data collection, report generation, data analysis

Security management
control NE access, enable NE functions, access logs

SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol

what?
a protocol to manage nodes (NE) in a IP based network
running over UDP, between
o SNMP server: manager
o SNMP client: agent
add, delete, modify configuration data: MIB
trap: for reporting events towards the manager
MIB = Management Information Database
versions?
V1 original version, security based on communities
V2 bulk date retrieval = faster, community based security
V3 stronger security
supported?
5520 AMS supports all versions,
depending on the type of node/the version of the node

4 Installing the 5520 AMS

19
First time use of AMS client

download and install

the client is available on the server

as a compressed file

launch amsclient.exe
log in to AMS

license management
install a new license

user management
create new users

access network management

initially, the access network is empty,

so you need to create NEs

20
Step 1 Download

download zip file from

http://servername:8080/ams-client

Microsoft Windows PC

Solaris 10 workstation

21
Step 2 Extract

extract the zip file to a writeable directory of choice

22
Step 3 Launch

double-click amsclient.exe

23
Step 4 - Logging in

1. login button 4. logout button

2. Enter
- server name/address
- user name
- password

3. Click on finish button

status bar: user@server

24
Step 5 Feature update

installing plugins at the client side:

new plugins are automatically detected at first usage

selecting yes starts downloading the plugins

restarting the ams-client activates the plugins at the client-side

25
Configuring the license

EMS Administration License create license
