Powerful Performance Management

Network Fault Management Made Easy

Better Quality of Service

Cost-efficient Operation

The Nokia OMC is designed to manage networks effi­ciently. In the hands of the operator, the Nokia OMC is a tool which maximises the per­formance of the network and minimises operating costs. The key to this is flexible cen­tralisation: control and con­figuration functions can be performed from remote loca­tions through the central con­trol point. Thus, the operator can manage the network effi­ciently by optimising the availability of skilled person­nel.

The quality and continuity of network service are primary concerns of operators. The Nokia OMC can be used to accurately locate and evalu­ate any network failures in real-time. The user can also monitor the quality of serv­ice: service-related problems are detected and corrected as they arise. In addition, the user is provided with valuable in­formation about network per­formance and the load car­ried by the network. Based on this information, the user can make adjustments in the net­work when necessary.

Nokia's OMC solution pro­vides graphical and textual displays containing informa­tion about the status of the network. If an equipment problem is indicated, the user can find the location of the faulty equipment by zooming in with a graphical tool. Fur­ther text-based failure analy­sis can be carried out on any faulty network element.

Any alarms generated by the network are collected and stored in a database. Nokia OMC has a modifiable alarm manual which can be accessed easily from the alarm moni­toring application. Alarm fil­tering is available for use when it is necessary to control alarm flow - during site mainte­nance, for example. Alarm trends can be analysed in or­der to identify network faults and problem sites.

The DX 200-based network elements collect measure­ment and observation data. This data is automatically transferred to Nokia OMC and stored in the database. Further processing of the data is easy: the user can view it in graphical form and textual reports. The Nokia OMC also allows the user to set his or her own threshold values for the measurement data. The system automatically gener­ates an alarm when the pre­set threshold value is ex­ceeded, e.g. when an abnor­mal measurement value is detected.

Furthermore, the Nokia OMC supports deeper analy­sis and post-processing of net­work data. The user can post-process the measurement data with a spreadsheet program. With that program's various tools, the user can further customise reports according to specific needs.
