ROSA™ EM - Element Management System
Description
The ROSA™Element Manager (EM) is specifically designed
to cost effectively monitor and control the transmission
network of headends, hub sites and HFC outside plants, and
transmitter sites. This unit manages the equipment that is co-
located on the site where the ROSA EM resides, whether this
equipment has an SNMP, serial (RS-232/422/485) or contact
closure interface.
The main functions of the ROSA EM are to:
•Monitor the health of the transmission network
•Act as an SNMP proxy
•Send alarm notifications when a problem occurs
•Automatically backup failed devices
•Perform local automation tasks
The ROSA EM supports several hundred Scientific-Atlanta and third-party devices. Support for new devices is
continuously being added to the ROSA EM, which can be exported to existing installations with a simple software
upgrade.
The ROSA EM actively polls all of the devices that it manages looking for problems and in the event a problem is
detected, ROSA EM will send alarm notifications to the appropriate personnel via SNMP trap, Email, Pager or
SMS. ROSA EM communicates with the managed devices via their proprietary protocols or contact closures then
translates this information to SNMP, which can be passed to a higher level network management system. When
ROSA EM is configured to perform backup protection it will automatically initiate pre-defined backup schemes that
reroutes signals, activates and configures standby devices all within seconds of a device failure.
The ROSA EM is a 2 RU high, 19-inch rack-mount embedded platform that operates without a monitor or
keyboard. The operator interfaces with the ROSA EM via a simple easy-to-use and understand Web browser
client. Communication to the ROSA EM can be established over any LAN/WAN network that supports Ethernet.
In addition, dial-in and dial-out (e.g., ISDN) is supported for cases where only a switched connection is available.
Features
•Cost-effective solution for management of devices in all locations (large headend to small hubs/OTN)
•Manages Scientific-Atlanta and third-party equipment via proprietary protocol, SNMP, or contact closures
•Translates proprietary protocols to SNMP and passes configuration/alarm information to network managers
•Highly reliable (no fans, no hard drive) hardware and software solution
•Alarm notification with Email, Pager or SMS
•Easy to use, intuitive Web browser interface
•Provides easy integration with multiple client options – Web browser, TNCS, ROSA NMS, 3rd Party NMS
•Open standards based interfaces (SNMP, HTTP, FTP, HMS, DateTime, etc.)
•Delivered with software already installed
•Software can be upgraded remotely over LAN/WAN
•Automatic remote backup and restore to save the entire configuration of the ROSA EM
•Seamless integration into currently installed TNCS and ROSA systems
•Dual temperature probes available as option
•2 RU, 19-inch rack-mount chassis

Operation
ROSA EM supports open standards interfaces, which enable cost-effective integration of equipment into the
ROSA EM, as well as cost-effective integration of the ROSA EM into upper-level network managers.
The northbound management interfaces are
composed of:

(RS232/RS485/RS422)
I/O contact closures
SNMP Enabled Devices
SNMP Network Managers
HTTP Web interface
FTP SW upgrade
and backup/restore

•Alarm notification
•SNMP proxy agent
•Redundancy backup
•Timed Events & automation
•Auto time synchronization
•Auto dial-up with SNMP trap

•Web browser client interface on the ROSA
EM that allows management of network
devices as well as viewing real-time status
and alarms.
•The SNMP agent in ROSA EM provides a
northbound SNMP interface to higher level
Network Management Systems (supports
TRAPS, GETS and SETS).
•Utilizes FTP to remotely upgrade ROSA EM
software as well as the backup and
restoration of ROSA EM configuration data.
The southbound management interfaces are designed to communicate with the managed devices and consist of:
•Multiple serial ports (RS-232, RS-485, RS-422)
•Digital and analog I/O contact closures interface
•SNMP Manager
•Temperature probes
•Network interface card
Flexible Client Options
There are four fundamental client options available for the ROSA EM; a simple Web browser, TNCS client, ROSA
NMS client and third party Network Management Systems each designed to meet specific needs of the user.
ROSA EM can be configured to do as much or as little as required to meet the needs of the technicians and
engineers charged with managing the broadband network.
•Simple Web Browser – The user
will open a Web browser window for
each ROSA EM site. This is an ideal
application for small systems that
have only one or two sites with
ROSA EM installed.

•TNCS Client – The TNCS client will
aggregate all of the ROSA EM sites
to produce a single network view
that is easy to understand. In
addition, TNCS will aggregate the
alarms, perform multi-site backup
schemes and retain historical logs
for alarms, system executables, and
software status for all of the ROSA
EM sites.
•ROSA NMS Client – A ROSA client
provides all of the TNCS functionality as well as a relational database that enables the operator to produce
performance and trending reports on the network, the managed devices, and overall system performance.
ROSA also has several modular advanced tasks that provide significant added value to system operators,
engineers and managers.
•Third-Party Client – ROSA EM is ideally suited to integrate into an overall 3rd party NMS via SNMP. The
northbound SNMP interface in ROSA EM supports Traps, Gets and Sets allowing the overall NMS to have
control of the managed devices. Launching the Web browser in ROSA EM allows the NMS operator to easily
view the details of any managed device from the operations center.

(*) Note concerning Safety Extra-Low Voltage (SELV) Circuit Warning
To avoid electric shock and in order to comply with the product’s regulatory safety compliance certifications:
•Do not connect any I/O, signal or communication port to circuits falling beyond the requirements for SELV circuits
•Always verify voltage, current and energy levels of connected circuits against SELV requirements (for a full definition of SELV
requirements, refer to UL, EN or IEC 60950 standards for limit values).
•Ensure that only ‘Digital Input Ports’, Galvanic Isolated Digital Input Ports’ or ‘Relay Outputs’ are connected to outdoor circuits.
Important:
•SELV voltage limits for indoor connections are < 60 V DC (or peak) or < 42.4 V AC RMS.
•SELV voltage limits for outdoor connections are lower than those for indoor connections.
•Outdoor voltages should be no greater than 15 Vrms, 21.2 Vpk, and 30 V DC under normal operating conditions.
•Cabling of outdoor circuits must be shorter than 140 feet or 42 meters.
•In all cases it is needed to protect outdoor cabling by means of a Primary Surge Protector at the position where the wiring enters the
building.
•Outdoor cabling should be routed away and spaced with adequate clearances from power and lighting conductors.
•For installations in the United States, refer to the appropriate sections in the National Electrical Code (NEC).
•For installations in other countries, ensure that the installation complies with the National requirements taking in account the above-
mentioned recommendations.
