3. INTRODUCTION
The International Organization for Standards (ISO) Network Management forum identifies five functional areas of
network management, often referred to simply as “FCAPS.” This model serves as the basis for the Network Management
system. The five management areas are as follows:
•
Fault Management
•
Configuration Management
•
Accounting Management
•
Performance Management
•
Security Management
In addition to the functional areas listed above, the EDACS Network Manager also provides the following:
Integrated CEC/IMC
Manager Using an integrated client on the EDACS Network Manager platform, administrators
can view the same data, using the same windows that are available to technicians who
configure and debug locally. In this mode, the CEC/IMC Manager acts as the server,
while the application on the EDACS Network Manager participates as a client. The
EDACS Network Manager and CEC/IMC Manager platforms provide a client-server
applications that have a common look and feel.
Integration with Other
OpenView Network
Management
Applications The customer is responsible for maintaining the configuration of the other Network
Management applications. The EDACS Network Element icons may exist on the same
map as the customer’s OpenView T1/Microwave/PBX network icons to form an
integrated network management map.
Scaleable Network
Manager Platform The EDACS Network Manager application is available on a variety of HP
workstations/servers so that large and small networks can be supported cost
effectively.
Multiple EDACS
Network Manager
Sessions The EDACS Network Manager allows multiple simultaneous users to be logged in and
viewing network information via X-sessions, either from X Stations or PCs running X-
terminal emulation.
