Out of Service Fiber Monitoring

Also called Dark Fiber monitoring

• One spare fiber required • Any wavelength can be used for test • No link modification required • Monitoring 1 fiber allows you to detect more than 80% of the cable faults • Most economical solution RTU

In Service Fiber Monitoring

Also called Active Fiber monitoring

• Every fiber can be monitored • All fibers can be used for traffic • Additional passive components required (WDM and filter) • Useful for very strategic links and no spare fiber is available RTU Wavelength Division Multiplexer l

RTU principles - OTDR monitoring

Our RTU (OTU-9500) will monitor fibers according to a cycle, switching from one fiber to another via an Optical Switch (OTAU).

ONMS Domains Segmentation

ONMS offers to manage different domains to best fit your needs

Domains Segmentation

Information may be organized geographically or functionally -> Flexible resources administration Information may be filtered for End-User customers -> Helpful & competition selling point for SLA contracts Search engine for tunable filtering -> Fastest & easiest access to information Page 12 ONMS 4.0 presentation - ACTERNA

Network documentation - OFM option

Photos Drawings Maps

ONMS 4.0 presentation - ACTERNA

Automatic schematic creation for complete link between OTDR trace and Physical Cable documentation

Page 13

OFM Option - Much more than a GIS !

OSP documentation for full cable documentation capacity

Skip other OSP information Comprehensive Physical Network documentation:

• buildings, • ODF description, • Cables route, • manholes, • connectors, • splices, • slacks, ... • Customer information : leased fiber • GIS compatibility (Map Info, others read only) ONMS 4.0 presentation - ACTERNA Page 14

Performance trends & Pro active maintenance

Performance Trend & pro-active maintenance

Detect defaults before they affect the Bit Error Ratio.

Monitor the physical layer Monitor with OTDR a representative fiber of a cable and check : Total attenuation, connectors reflectance, splices...

Analyze trends over time Organize pro-active maintenance campaigns on specific fibers and regularly store OTDR results for analysis : Total attenuation, connectors reflectance, splices...

Regularly check the photonic layer Monitor each Wavelength on DWDM networks and check : Channel drifting, Power level, SNR, Composite Power, Total power, gain tilt, slope...

Alarm Management

Extensive Alarm management

In case of Alarm from a RTU, it is very critical that the right person is alerted as quickly as possible.

ONMS offers a very powerful Alarm Management : E-mail Fax Pager .

Other..

• Pop up Alarm Window on client • On Duty Management (Option) • Trouble ticket • OSS Interface • Alarm History • Local alarms at RTU location, redundancy of communications...

OSS Interface

OSS Interface

SNMP is the preferred interface to exchange information with OSS Thanks to this interface, the OSS may : • Have a complete view of ONMS database • Receive alarm information automatically as soon as faults occur • Acknowledge alarms directly • Launch a test on demand • Correlate this information with other systems ONMS 4.0 presentation - ACTERNA OSS : Operation support system (supervisor of supervisors) Page 19

Web client

Web Access

Acterna ONMS web client is a “

Thin client

” ->

Special GUI

with

Web feel and look

-> Accessible via

any Web browser

(Netscape, Internet Explorer…, Windows, Unix, Linux…) ->

No need to pre-install

anything -> No maintenance or upgrade ->

Limited amount

of data to

download

(specially designed to optimize data download) ONMS 4.0 presentation - ACTERNA Page 22

Web Client functional overview

Extensive functions including :

• Alarm monitoring • Event details for each alarm • Test and/or measurement on demand • Trace & spectrum analysis tools • Domain segmentation (restricted access) • Report generation Secured Access through INTRANET / VPN ONMS 4.0 presentation - ACTERNA Page 23

Reports generation

Reports, Quality of Service...

Quality of Service Reports

• MTTR : shows the mean time it takes to repair common faults. • used to analyze the effectiveness of the maintenance program • used as a sales tool to show how quickly faults are repaired.

Alarm reports HTML dynamically generated !

Customized reports

Useful information including maps, optical events table, schematic and OTDR trace

OSP Reports

* Other reports available for OSP/GIS : • Customer/Equipment report • Termination assignment report • Installed materials & hardware report • Span assignments reports • Work order report • Geographic reports • ...
