EMS Software: The EMS software and the Java 2 Runtime Environment software are loaded
on a CD-ROM. The EMS software provides local monitor and control functions through a
Graphical User Interface (GUI) and remote monitor and control functions through the NOC/
NEM interface.
SNMP Proxy Agent Software: The SNMP Proxy Agent software (when included) is loaded on
a CD-ROM. The SNMP Proxy Agent together with the EMS provides for remote monitor and
control functions through a network SNMP manager. When the SNMP interface is required for
system operation, both the EMS software and SNMP Proxy Agent software must be installed on
the same computer. The SNMP Proxy Agent software will not function without the EMS
software.
Control Programs: The host and remote control programs are installed by the factory in each
respective host unit or RU. Updated versions of the host and remote control program software
will be provided by Customer Service on a “as needed” basis.
5.2 Software Installation
Software installation consists of inserting each specified CD-ROM into the computer’s CD-
ROM drive and then running the software install programs. This places the EMS, Java 2
Runtime Environment, and SNMP Proxy Agent (if included) software files in assigned folders
on the computer’s hard drive. Software installation instructions are provided in the Digivance
Element Management System User Manual (See Related Publications section).
5.3 Computer Operation
Permanent control and monitoring functions may be provided by a PC-type desk-top computer
that is permanently connected to a HU. The EMS program must be running in order for the
NOC interface to function. Both the EMS program and SNMP Proxy Agent program must be
running in order for the SNMP interface to function. A PC-type lap-top computer running just
the EMS program can be used as a portable network management tool for service and
maintenance purposes. The laptop computer may be connected temporarily to the HU to
trouble-shoot problems on-site and then removed when the maintenance task is completed. The
specifications for the EMS computer are provided in the Digivance Element Management
System User Manual (See Related Publications section).
5.4 Digivance EMS Computer Interface Connections
The service interface connection between the EMS computer and the HU requires that the EMS
computer be equipped with a DB-9 connector that is configured to provide an RS-232 DCE
interface. A straight-through RS-232 interface cable (accessory item) equipped with a male DB-
9 connector on one end and a PC-compatible connector on the other end is required to link the
EMS computer to the HU.
The NOC interface connection between the EMS computer and the NOC requires that the EMS
computer be equipped with a connector that is configured to provide an RS-232 ASCII
interface. The link between the EMS computer and the NOC would generally be supported by a
