Versatile and robust
management capabilities
As part of the Alcatel-Lucent optical
portfolio, the 1643 AMS is supported
by the Alcatel-Lucent 1350 Optical
Management System (OMS), a
flexible network management
package customized to meet specific
operational needs. With OMS, the
1643 AMS is managed through an
embedded communications channel.
The 1643 AMS also supports a PC-
based craft interface for local and
remote management and low-cost
centra lized alarming. In addition,
the 1643 AMS can be integrated into
Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP) management systems.
The 1643 AMS derives fault-manage-
ment information by monitoring and
analyzing information contained in
the path overhead of each virtual
container (VC). Alarm information
is filtered and displayed locally, and
transmitted to the management-
center database.
Performance-management infor-
mation from the overhead bytes is
analyzed and stored in the database
of the 1643 AMS. When equipped
with a
TransLAN
Card, the 1643
AMS stores Ethernet-specific per-
formance information. This feature
facilitates quick turnaround for
physical-configuration changes.
For data communication networks
(DCNs), the 1643 AMS offers several
data communication channel (DCC)
functions, providing multivendor
interworking opportunities.
The 1643 AMS is a compact and
cost-effective multiservice unit that
enables next-generation services over
existing SDH networks.
Wide range of installation
options
The 1643 AMS is designed for
rack-mounted applications, while
offering both street-cabinet and CPE
installation capabilities. Using either
DC or AC power, it also provides
operating flexibility.
