10 DIGIVANCE ELEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The Digivance Element Management System (EMS) is a network management tool that provides

control and monitoring functions for the Digivance system. The EMS is used to provision and

configure new systems for operation, set system operating parameters, get system alarm and

status messages, and upgrade the system software. The EMS supports both local control by an

on-site service technician and remote control by a Network Operations Center (NOC).

10.1 Primary Components

The EMS, shown in Figure 2-17, consists of a PC-type desk-top computer (not provided) that is

loaded with the EMS software. The EMS software is stored on a CD-ROM that is shipped

separately along with a User Manual and mouse pad. The EMS software must be installed on

the EMS computer along with the Java 2 Version 1.3.1 Runtime Environment software which is

also provided. Installation consists of inserting the CD-ROM into the computer’s CD-ROM

drive and then running the software install programs. This places the Java 2 Runtime

Environment and EMS software files in assigned folders on the computer’s hard drive.

The EMS software may also be installed on a PC-type lap-top computer (not provided). A lap-

top version of the EMS computer can be used as a portable network management tool for

service and maintenance purposes. A laptop EMS computer can be connected temporarily to a

system to enter the initial configuration data or to trouble-shoot problems and then removed

when the task is completed. Permanent control and monitoring functions would be provided by

the desk-top EMS computer.
