OMC 3000 The OMC 3000 is based on the Sun Microsystems E3000

processor. This processor

has been superseded and support is being phased out. The OMC 3000 can support

either 300 or 500 EBTSs. This processor may be upgraded to run Software

Release 8.0. The OMC 3000 may be networked with other OMCs with SR 8.0. The

OMC 300 may act as a primary OMC in a networked environment with some

limitations on performance and long-term support.

OMC 3500 The OMC 3500 is the latest version of the OMC. Based on the Sun Microsystems

E3500 processor, it is introduced with Software Release 8.0 because the

manufacturer has upgraded system performance and is phasing out support for the

OMC 300 platform.The MC 3500 can support:

• up to 500 EBTS sites

• 6 DAPs (6-DAP cluster)

• 8 active MDGs and 1 standby MDG.

The OMC 3500 can effectively act as the primary processor in a OMC network.

OMC Networking OMC-R networking is an enhancement of Software Release 8.0. To reduce the

maintenance overhead and improve performance, OMCs may be networked to share

configuration, event, and status information. This provides the facility to create and

maintain a centralized configuration and mertics set of databases. In a networked

environment the primary OMC can maintain configuration, event and status

information that can be recovered to secondary OMC should the need arise. The

centralized databases make it easier to assure and manage the configuration across a

Wide Area Network (WAN). Larger networks may require a primary processor be

dedicated to the primary processor function. OMCs of other functions may also be

networked as implementation requirements dictate.

The networked environment does not allow remote diagnostic and cutover of

network resources that are not directly controlled (MSC and MPS). An OMC in one

network does not have control of network equipment associated with another OMC.
