Complete package of network management modules under one umbrella
 Network Access Module
 Fault Management Module
 Performance Management Module
 Configuration Module
 Network Traffic Calculator

 Service Manager Module
 Map Module
 Client Access Module

TM
NETWORK ACCESS MODULE
 Process listening to the events from
different network entities
 Streamers collect the events/statistics,
processes and forwards them to core
 Support SNMP, CORBA, Q3, WCF, telnet, raw
TCP, UDP protocols.
REAL TIME STREAMER
- Give live event/alarm feed from the
monitored objects which are then passed
through built-in Correction and Tapping
manager.
- Buffering ability to sustain network jitters
RE-SYNC STREAMER
- Requests the monitored entity for its
currently active events/alarms and statistics
- Backup in case of disconnection between the
live streamer and the monitored entity

TM
FAULT MANAGEMENT MODULE
 Core of Management System, handling all the
alarms and statistics entering the system

TAPPING MANAGER
- Filters out unwanted events as described by
the customer
- Reduces load on the core processes to serve
more Network Elements
CORRECTION MANAGER
- Modify/Add different alarm fields to
upcoming events

DE-DUPLICATION MANAGER
- Avoids duplications of the same event within
a threshold period by identifying a similar
existing event
TM
FAULT MANAGEMENT MODULE
(CONTD…)

Smart customization of the Product under
heavy upcoming events

 Applying smart and intelligent coding
logic on the upcoming events to yield
customized results
 Unlimited schemes can be defined as
per the customer needs
 Diagnostics for Efficient Remediation
 Greatly reduces the number of service
requests by relating an event to any
other persistent/known events
 Live Synthetic alarms can be
generated where the performance
KPIs from network statistics reach any
critical threshold
TM
PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT MODULE
Helps WiMAX operators to centrally monitor and
manage service delivery of CPEs, Access Points
and Core Elements.
This module consists of two components, a
dashboard and reporter
DASHBOARD
- Real Time Monitoring of Network Alarms
and Performance Statistics
- Generates Alerts on KPI Thresholds
REPORTER
- Maintains all the KPI data of Alarms and
Statistics in a centralized database
- Generate Customized Reports with Interactive
Graphical Information to Improve Business
Services
TM
CONFIGURATION MANAGER MODULE
 A complete platform to send configuration
commands to network elements
 Manual/automatic corrective action for network
self healing quick resolution
 Configurations can be fed with multiple flow paths
for multiple responses
 Auto configuration/provisioning of the WiMAX CPE
 Enables automated scripting so WiMAX network
operators can effectively address any ad-hoc needs
on custom requirements
 WiMAX CPE software/firmware download and
management

requests with intelligent logic with
customized requirements.
 Provides web interface for operator
to view tickets and perform different
actions
 Provides management with live
system reports
 Keep track of the employee’s
performance
