The EMS-XDM functions at the EML in the TMN scheme and can operate directly
under eNM LightSoft. It has been designed as an open system in compliance with
the CORBA standard. The EMS-XDM may be co-located in the same platform,
operate as a standalone, or be integrated under a non-ECI Telecom NMS or TMN
umbrella system. The EMS-XDM can control scores of XDM NEs at a time and
provides a wide range of XDM management functions, including alarms,
configuration, inventory, provisioning, and security management (see Figure
6-3).

6.5.1 Performance Management
Administrators can use eNM-XDM to access current performance data for each
XDM NE (including optical objects) and trail/circuit, recorded over 15-minute or
24-hour intervals, detailed per termination point and sorted by logging time.
Performance data is available in both tabular and chart form. Analytical tools make
this information useful in troubleshooting network elements and in optimizing QoS.
eNM-XDM provides default performance parameters and threshold levels in
compliance with accepted ITU-T standards. These parameters and thresholds can be
configured to suit individual applications.
The XDM-100 supports all standard SDH/SONET BLSR PM counters (for example,
BBE, SES, and UAS) for the different signal levels (for example, MS/line,
VC-4/STS-3c, VC-3/STS-1, VC-12/E1). Each counter has a user-configurable
default threshold.
