[. . . ] This multivendor-compatible solution supports multiple network topologies and transport options, ensuring a smooth transition from traditional voice to next-generation networking (NGN/IMS). Moreover, the Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS and Alcatel-Lucent 1540 Litespan are integrated and tested with other products in the Alcatel-Lucent portfolio to offer complete endto-end NGN solutions. 2 Alcatel-Lucent 1353 Litespan Management System Managing the access network Access is the cornerstone of a telecom network. All end-user services merge in the access nodes. [. . . ] Each Alcatel-Lucent 1540 Litespan includes not only the multiservice gateway platform, but also IP/Internet Multiservice 1353 LMS Multivendor multitopologies (star/ring/tree) Mixed Multiscenarios Alcatel-Lucent 1353 Litespan Management System 3 The Alcatel-Lucent 1353 Litespan Management System In today's competitive environment, with the Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS, you can take advantage of a user-friendly and familiar graphical user interface (GUI) to present information related to operations, service configuration, performance, alarms and security (see Figure 2). Presentation is based on WEB Desktop technology, where the application clients are downloaded and run on the operator PC with zero installation effort. The Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS is based on the AlcatelLucent Management Platform (ALMAP), which allows an easy integration of the Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS with other Alcatel-Lucent management systems. Integrated network management optimizes your capital investment, reusing existing hardware to minimize equipment costs, while lowering operation and maintenance activities and training costs. In networks with Alcatel-Lucent switching or transport equipment, management applications can be easily integrated. For example, alarms for all network elements appear in a single window for ease of monitoring and use. Figure 2. The Alcatel-Lucent 1353 Litespan Management System GUI 4 Alcatel-Lucent 1353 Litespan Management System Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS applications The Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS functions as a network element manager, an end-to-end network manager of user services, as well as a subscriber manager. It incorporates several management applications described in Table 1 and illustrated in Figure 3. With the Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS, most of your applications can run on a single server, providing a cost advantage for small networks. Table 1.

The Alcatel-Lucent 1353 DN network element manager controls Alcatel-Lucent 1540 Litespan narrowband services, while the SDH transport services are managed by the Alcatel-Lucent PSM. The broadband services (xDSL) integrated in the 1540 Litespan are managed by the Alcatel-Lucent 5520 AMS application. All these element managers have a common desktop that provides access to any one of them from the same client. The element managers also provide an interface for integration with the network operator's existing OSS. Subscriber management The Alcatel-Lucent 1355 DN application provides subscriber management for the Alcatel-Lucent Litespan 1540 family access systems through subscriber administration, service activation and subscriber line testing. It is designed to support the unique requirements of your access network by including large numbers of platforms and subscribers, widespread geographic distribution and concurrent use of different technologies and services. 6 Alcatel-Lucent 1353 Litespan Management System Network element managers Feature summary ·Networkview ·Equipmentconfiguration ·Portandterminationprovisioning ·Managementofcommunication betweentheAlcatel-Lucent 1353LMSandAlcatel-Lucent 1540Litespan ·Equipmentredundancymanagement ·Alarmcollectionandlogging ·Alarmlogconsultation ·Remoteinventory ·Backup/restoreofnetwork elementconfiguration ·Remotesoftwareupgradeof networkelements ·Genericmanagement ·V5interfaceandVoIPprovisioning ·Managementofleased-lineinterfaces (2Mb/s, nx64andothers) ·Linetesting ·Performanceandtrafficmonitoring With the Alcatel-Lucent 1355 DN -- an application within the Alcatel-Lucent 1353 LMS -- you can take advantage of: ·Connectionmanagement ·Massivesubscribermanagementoperations ·Subscriber/connectionqueries ·Externalsubscribercreation ·Subscriberalarm ·Subscriber/connectiontest ·Massiveandscheduledtesting ·Testresultsmanagement ·Openinterfacestouppermanagementlayers Alcatel-Lucent 1353 Litespan Management System 7 Flexibility for diverse business requirements Support of multiple topologies Star, ring, tree, point-to-point and mixed topologies are all supported by the Alcatel-Lucent Litespan family.
