8.5 Digivance EMS User Interfaces
The Digivance EMS provides three user interfaces: the EMS Graphical User Interface (GUI),
the Network Operation Center–Network Element Manager (NOC/NEM) interface, and the
SNMP GUI interface. The EMS GUI, the NOC interface, and the SNMP GUI provide the same
basic functions. However, the NOC interface and the SNMP GUI cannot be used to download
new system software to the Digivance system. In addition, the SNMP GUI cannot be used to
assign a system site number to a HU/RU pair during installation.
The EMS GUI is used for local control and monitoring operations. The EMS GUI consists of a
series of displays and screens, such as the one shown in Figure 2-21, that provide the user with
alarm and status information and that allow the user to set various operating parameters.
Directives are implemented by pointing and clicking on the desired action and also by entering
text in various dialog boxes. Refer to the Digivance Element Management System User Manual
(ADCP-75-151) for additional information.
Figure 2-21. Graphical User Interface Host/Remote Display
The NOC/NEM interface is a text-based command line interface that is used for remote control
and monitoring operations (except software download). The NOC/NEM interface consists of
defined ASCII text strings that are input as SET or GET commands followed by the action or
information required. A text string response is received from the specified Digivance system or
systems to confirm the requested action or to report the requested information. Examples of
several typical NOC-NEM interface commands and the responses received are shown in
Figure 2-22. The NOC/NEM interface requires only a VT100 terminal/emulator or a PC-type
computer that is loaded with a communication software such as Procomm Plus. While primarily
intended for use at the NOC, the NOC/NEM interface commands may also be input locally
from the EMS computer. Refer to the Digivance Element Management System User Manual
(ADCP-75-151) for additional information.
