Building an Element Management System

This tutorial models a generic network device with many components to build a sample EMS application using Web NMS tools and design techniques. In this tutorial, the design aspects on Modelling and mapping a Network Element has been dealt in detail. The various features of Web NMS like writing ManagedObject sub classes,using map layouts, rendering of map symbols, trap handling, device configuration and security have been described in detail. This tutorial acts as a building block and guides the developer in designing and developing a superior EMS.

TL1 Tutorial

This tutorial guides the developer to manage a TL1 device . Various features like discovery, mapping, fault and performance management have been dealt in detail. It shows how to create custom Chassis views to represent the device elements. Autonomous messages are processed and the results are represented graphically in the chassis view. The application also covers provisioning. It shows how to generate provisioning templates and use various filters to get the inputs and process the provisioning information. It illustrates the ease with which these templates can be launched from the client UI menus. For the ease of operation and testing, the tutorial comes bundled with a command line simulator that simulates a generic TL1 device.

XML Southbound Tutorial

In this tutorial, we discuss how the XML device agent and server are designed and describe the way how they communicate with Web NMS. From the responses received from the agent, the EMS chassis is built. The various features of Web NMS like status propagation, alarm correlation, laying and rendering of map symbols have been dealt in detail. To illustrate the provisioning operation using XML, a separate provider for configuration has been included and how it can be integrated with Web NMS has been explained.

CORBA Southbound Tutorial

The CORBA Southbound Tutorial explains how developer can build Element Management Systems, which support CORBA as the southbound interface. In this tutorial, we have used TR-005 and TR-035 standards specified by the ANSI T1M1 forum. It explains, how developer can implement the Working Text, WT-046 Version 3.0 as specified in the DSL forum. It shows how to discover and manage ADSL access sub networks, which have agents supporting CORBA. It illustrates surveillance of network devices through status polling. It shows how the agent can use CORBA callback mechanism to notify the EMS in case of any Alarms. It shows how to propagate events and alarms and represent them graphically.

CORBA Northbound Tutorial

The CORBA Northbound Tutorial shows how easily AdventNet Web Network Management System (NMS) can be used for distributed NMS applications by providing CORBA northbound support to interact with other Northbound Operational Support Systems (OSS). It shows how to set states for various elements in the NMS, which can be used for setting up services. It illustrates how OSS can be notified when any alarms are generated in NMS. It explains how the OSS can access various attributes of elements in the NMS.

JMS Southbound Tutorial

JMS Southbound Tutorial

Enterprise Management Applications implement a number of Southbound protocols. Java Messaging Service (JMS) is one of them. This tutorial is aimed at demonstrating how JMS protocol can be used in Web NMS configuration and fault management.
