Table 24. Summary Description of INM 4.1 Features
INM Feature Description
Alarm Counts Graphical alarm count collection for multiple spans of control.
OPC Login The ability to access OPC UI session.
Direct NE Login The ability for direct login to the NE.
Alarm Details The ability to view detailed alarm information for active alarms.
Connectivity
Enhancements Link type differentiation for network element connectivity (Fiber, CNet, Electrical and
Radio).
OPC GUI Provides OPC graphical user interfaces for both TransportNode and AccessNode OPCs.
Alarm Acknowledgment Allows all users of the INM to be aware of alarm acknowledgments by other users.
Real-Time Alarm
Display Allows the alarm list dialog to be updated asynchronously as new alarms are raised or
cleared.
Alarm filtering Allows the alarms displayed in the alarm list dialog to be filtered by any subset of the four
basic alarm severities.
Alarm Collection
Control per SOC Allows alarm collection from one or more OPC spans to be suspended for systems that do
not require alarm surveillance.
First Alert Alarm Banner Displays a summary of all alarm counts in the network.
Traffic display for OC-12/48
BLSRs Illustrates high speed traffic and protection status.
Centralized Software
Management Provides a centralized facility for the delivery of a software release, of an OPC or NE load,
required to upgrade a span of control in a network.
Centralized Performance
Monitoring Provides early detection of signal degradation in the network before the signal degrades
below critical values. Centralized performance monitoring provides both error and switch
statistics allowing accelerated preventative maintenance to be performed before service fail-
ures occur.
Centralized Inventory Col-
lection Provides the capability of acquiring an accurate view of the equipment provisioned in the
network. The centralized inventory feature assists in verifying the hardware baseline com-
patibility of a network before undertaking an upgrade.
Shelf Level Graphics Provides a graphical view of the inventory information for a specific NE. Alarms are now
applied in real time on the shelf level graphics.
User Definable Span Infor-
mation Provides the capability of having additional textual information associated with the agent
being monitored.
BLSR STS Connection
Management Provides a graphical point-and-click interface for provisioning connections on BLSR sys-
tems.
Service Assurance The user can obtain provisioned information for all connections within a specified ring, all
connections that terminate at and are passing through a specified NE or all connections
whose primary path is specified on the ring link.
VTBM for OC-12BLSR Provides the ability to provision to provision VT1.5 connections on an OC-12 BLSR.
Linear STS Connection
Management Provides connection provisioning and service assurance capabilities for specific linear con-
figurations, namely; OC-48 (1+1,1:1 and 0:1) systems as well as OC-12 (1+1, and linear
ADM chains).
Facility State Provisioning Provides the ability to provision facility states for DS1,DS3, and STS1 type connections.
Flexible Groups Provides the capability to define groups whose appearances are, to a large extent, defined by
the user. The visual aspects of flexible groups, such as the position of the group name and
alarm status information, can be customized.
