The Web-Based Element Management System
Introduction to the Web EMS
The Element Management System (Web EMS) is an HTTP web-based element manager that
enables the operator to perform configuration operations and obtain statistical and performance
information related to the system, including:
Configuration Management – Enables you to view and define configuration data.
Fault Monitoring – Enables you to view active alarms.
Performance Monitoring – Enables you to view and clear performance monitoring values and
counters.
Diagnostics and Maintenance – Enables you to define and perform loop back tests and
software updates.
Security Configuration – Enables you to configure security features.
User Management – Enables you to define users and user groups.
A Web-Based EMS connection to the unit can be opened using a Web browser (Internet Explorer,
Mozilla Firefox, or Google Chrome). The Web-Based EMS uses a graphical interface.
The Web-Based EMS shows the actual unit configuration and provides easy access to any
interface. A wide range of configuration, testing, and system monitoring tasks can be performed
through the Web EMS.
