Element Management System

• PC-based Element Management System used for planning, provisioning and (EMS) providing configuration, fault, performance and security management over SNMP
• Element management functionality in accordance with Telecommunications Management Network (TMN) recommendations
• Integrates with CastleRock SNMPc
• Supports hierarchial network structures and multiple map levels
• Color-coded status indication for nodes, links and subnets
• TFTP-based software and configuration transfer capabilities
• Security management increases scope of command and span of control

• User friendly and intuitive zoom applications for easy configuration
• Modular system architecture enables management of heterogeneous networks
• Friendly and realistic graphical user interface
• Variety of remote tests reduces network downtime and operational costs
• Real-time graphic display of statistics, trends and performance for immediate detection of network problems to minimize downtime

Fault Management

RADview-PC monitors the network, detects events and helps isolate problems and minimize network downtime. Network status changes are displayed graphically at the network, device, card, and port levels. RADview-PC supports multiple map levels, enabling graphic display of the hierarchical network structure. A problem occurring at a lower level is forwarded to intermediate and upper levels for easy problem detection and isolation.

Configuration Management

RADview-PC, featuring user-friendly and intuitive zoom applications, is a simple yet powerful configuration tool that facilitates configuration tasks. Backup and restore of network elements allow storing and restoring configuration information.

For RADview-Lite products, configuration and diagnostics are achieved through simple and user-friendly access to either Telnet or web browser (ConfiguRAD).

TFTP-based software and configuration transfer capabilities allow distribution of new software versions or configuration files to multiple network elements simultaneously, as well as reports on the process status. Configuration files can also be collected and distributed.

Performance Management

Network performance can be displayed by the RADview zoom applications, allowing clear and user-friendly indication of network resources status. Real-time or last-24-hour network resource performance information can be displayed in table or chart format.

Security Management

Three levels of security are provided:

• Windows security enforces and restricts access to the RADview-PC console
• SNMP communities ensure that SNMP GET and SET are performed only from stations with ccess permissions
• Limited access list stored in the network element assures that only managers with specific IP addresses are allowed access to specific device configuration

Note: Some RAD devices are managed via a web-based element manager.
