Alcatel-Lucent OmniVistaTM 4760
Network Management System

Network Management Systems
Telecom managers need flexible network
management tools to deal with the
challenge of staying current with today’s
network and telecommunication advances.
Network manageability has recently
increased in importance as telecom
managers are faced with supporting
converged voice/video/data networks and
rapidly growing network traffic. Network
management applications must address
security and convergence issues while
providing real-time monitoring and cost
savings. They must also continue to support
existing services with improved efficiency
and service level agreements (SLAs).

“
The solution is efficient,
flexible, well-designed and
reduces workload. This leads
to significant time savings in
our daily processes.

Key elements
to remember

Preempt your network performance with real-time network visibility! Topology and Alarm applications
allow you to maximize uptime by pro-actively tracking faults.
■Topology maps show the network devices such as OmniPCX CS, racks, and boards as well as logical links
between CS and OmniPCX Enterprise IP architecture.
If a problem occurs, the administrator clicks on the object and accesses the faulty element directly.
The Topology application provides views ranging from a birds-eye perspective to a detailed one of a faulty board.
■The Alarms application provides a centralized system for monitoring alarms and events coming from
Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise Solutions. Alarms are displayed in real time according to filters. When an alarm occurs
an automatic email can be sent. SNMP agents allow integration into a global enterprise management platform.

Configuration
Do you need to reduce your enterprise network’s total cost of ownership (TCO) and optimize your
experts' time?
The OmniVista 4760 Configuration application provides flexible, user-friendly, centralized and remote
management of the OmniPCX Communication Servers. It minimizes the time network administrators spend on
moves, adds, and changes (MAC), which used to take up as much as 80% of their schedule. Moreover, using profiles
facilitates the creation of groups of users and enables the application of rules directly to a set of OmniPCX CS objects
in one operation. Software download provides an automatic update of the OmniPCX CS.
Change management tracks operations history for security enhancement and service level agreements (SLA)
Key Features:
■Configuration via a user friendly
graphical interface
■Bulk MAC
■Graphical views of phones
■SIP device management
■Automatic OmniPCX maintenance
