Summary of Features

The new features offered by the Integrated Network Management Broadband

Release 3.1 applications are summarized below.

•Federated Networks support which provides the ability to manage a

network of up to 5500 network elements and 750 controller (OPC/MOA)

pairs in a scalable environment by distributing the resources and data

required for the network across a number of communicating INM

workstations.

unconditional propagation of alarm acknowledgement to all INM

workstations managing OPCs and MOAs that support alarm

surveillancefunctionality.Peer-to-peerworkstationcommunicationsis

•PartitionedAccesssupport which allows thegraphical view of the network

to be divided into several sub-views which may contain any or all of the

network elements in the network, and which can be conﬁgured to permit

some or all management functions to be enabled for the user.

• Problem Analyzer (PA) performs Intelligent Alarm Filtering (IAF) which

provides the correlation of alarms into direct detect and related alarm

events into a single Network Problem Report. The PA provides additional

information to the user by showing the alarm correlation, viewing

problems not alarms, giving probable cause, providing a NTP reference to

ﬁx the problem, and performing preventive analysis. This feature is

optional and is delivered on a separate CD-ROM/DAT Tape.

•Alarm History and Enhanced Audit Trail for S/DMS OC-3/12/48, and

S/DMS OC-192. The Alarm History Retrieval option provides the ability

to retrieve historical alarm information for the network element from the

graphical user interface of INM Release 3.1. The Enhanced Audit Trail

(EAT) provides the capability to record the alarm information of raised,

acknowledged and cleared alarms.

•Facility Parameter Provisioning which extends the Tributary Facility

State Provisioning feature on the previous S/DMS Network Manager
