Layer 1 Deployment “A”
Alternative “A”
Direct logical connection between OSS and each NEs
OSS responsible for maintaining synchronization with the NE
Requires OSS to have detailed knowledge or NEs and network topology
Advantages
When limited Layer 1 devices deployed OSS
Low to no ROI on OEM EMS
High level alarm filtering
DCN
Disadvantages
Require higher skills for OEM support To NEs
Must Telnet for operation
Must know command structure
No GUI
14 Fujitsu Proprietary and Confidential All Rights Reserved, ©2006 Fujitsu Network Communications
Layer 1 Deployment “B”
Alternative “B”
OSS maintains a single connection with the EMS
EMS responsible for maintaining communications sessions and
synchronization with the NEs
EMS can “hide” (or not) NE details from OSS
Advantages OSS
OEM GUI for easy navigation Uplink
Not necessary to understand command set
EMS
Disadvantages
“Swivel-Chair” operations DCN
