• Entity MIB RFC 2737 — describes managed objects used for managing multiple logical
and physical entities managed by a single SNMP agent.
• System Host MIB RFC 2790 MIB for managing host systems — defines a set of objects
common across many computer system architectures that are useful for the management
of host computers, such as memory and CPU.
• SmallSiteEvent MIB for traps.
• RFC 2261 — SNMP Framework MIB.
BCM50 adopts the Common Information Model (CIM) standard according to the industry
standards organization Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF), which provides a modeled
method of managing system-programming parameters. BCM50 uses the transport mechanism
CIM operations over HTTP using XML, also referred to as CIM-XML. The BCM50 CIM-XML
interface provides a consistent way to manage data on the device, whether by the BCM50 Element
Manager, NCM, or third-party network or service-management applications.
Log management
BCM50 log management includes, in addition to the component logs that BCM200 and BCM400
systems provide, security logs, configuration change logs, alarm logs, and system logs.
Set-based administration
BCM50 gives you the ability to use a telephone interface to program much of the BCM50 system.
Set-based administration benefits include:
• BCM50 installations that do not have TCP/IP connectivity
• BCM50 installations where the installer does not have on-site access to a computer
• installers who prefer the speed of programming using set-based administration
• installers who are familiar with the Norstar interface
With set-based administration, you can manage:
• core telephony
• voicemail services
• IP network settings
• keycode entry
• admin password change
• modem on/off
Multiple languages are supported, consistent with Norstar set-based administration.
Business Element Manager
Business Element Manager gives you access to BCM50 information in a new off-box management
architecture. Element Manager has a task-based interface for ease of use.
