Our multi-level management solutions allow carriers to put the right management solution in the right hands. For the NOC, the OMS with its graphical user interface (GUI) provides an ideal solution for a complete network view that allows operators to immediately identify trouble spots, manage network-wide inventory, perform configuration archival services, and even do GUI-based troubleshooting and configuration management. For the craftsperson, the “Cisco-like” command-line interface (CLI) with context-sensitive help supports every aspect of installation, service turn-up and all troubleshooting and maintenance activities. For tradition outside plant staff, TL1 offers a familiar means for provisioning and alarm management. Engineering and operations staff will appreciate the WebManager, an embedded GUI application available on every Overture network element that can be accessed from any PC with a standard browser – no special applications are required.
