LoopStar EMS and EMS-Local Craft
Terminal (LCT)
The LoopStar EMS is an advanced user-
friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) Element
Management System (EMS) for controlling and
managing networks consisting of LoopStar
800/1600/3600 SONET access systems. The
LoopStar EMS provides users with sophisticated
centralized control capabilities for configuring,
monitoring, testing, and managing multiple
LoopStar 800/1600/3600 systems from a single
management platform.
The LoopStar EMS-LCT is an element
management layer (EML) management system
for LoopStar 800/1600/3600 SONET Access
Systems. The LoopStar EMS-LCT is intended
for small, relatively simple networks. It provides
users with single-layer management network
solutions to the LoopStar 800/1600/3600 of
up to eight NEs and manages the systems in a
centralized manner.
LoopStar 800/1600/3600 systems are highly
advanced next-generation SONET Access
Systems that allow service providers to cost-
effectively deploy and manage TDM and
Ethernet services to end-user customers.
With the LoopStar EMS or EMS LCT, service
providers can perform advanced management
control functions for their entire network of
LoopStar 800/1600/3600 systems, all from
a common management platform. Specific
capabilities of the LoopStar EMS and
EMS-LCT include:
• Configuration Management: Network
connections, system and circuit provisioning,
system inventory
• Fault Management: Alarm management
and control, alarm history database
management
• Performance Monitoring: Real-time traffic
management, monitoring and alarming, PM
database management
• Security: System access and password control
• Testing: Circuit and test management control
