Managing the Access Network Access is the cornerstone of a telecom network. All end-user services merge in the access nodes. The types of services your end users want continue to expand as technology evolves at an unprecedented pace. As a result, your access network must be able to accept many different services, topologies, technologies and transport options. Faced with such challenges, being able to manage the access network efficiently and effectively is a vital requirement.
The Alcatel-Lucent 1353 Litespan Management System (LMS) With the Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS, you can take advantage of a userfriendly and familiar graphical user interface (GUI) to present information related to operations, service configuration, performance, alarms and security (see Figure 2).
Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS Applications The Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS functions as a network element manager, an end-to-end network manager of user services, as well as a subscriber manager. It incorporates several management applications described in Table 1 and illustrated in Figure 3. With, moreover, the Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS, all of your applications can run on a single server, providing a cost advantage for small networks. Table 1.
