Element Management Software

The IMUX 2000s Element Management System (EMS) communicates with the IMUX 2000s SONET/SDH module via the USB craft port, or via TCP/IP connection over a 10/100 Ethernet port. Remote IP-based management is accomplished over DS1/E1 to the management channel, or PPP/IP connectivity over the DCC channel. In addition, the integrated management router can extend the reach of the existing IP management network using SONET/SDH DCCs. The IMUX 2000s EMS supports concurrent SNMP management with Syslog monitoring and reporting.

The IMUX 2000s EMS features a real time visual display of node status, and gathers performance and fault statistics from all connected IMUX 2000s SONET/SDH Multiplexers. For IMUX 2000s MDACS units, cross connecting Ethernet and T1/ E1 tributaries across the full duplex and non-blocking switch fabric is simple using the DACS configuration tool. The IMUX 2000s EMS is a powerful tool that enables management of a network comprising local and remote units. The IMUX 2000s EMS intuitive graphical user interface empowers operators to realize the full potential of their services with the amenity of remote management and diagnostics.
