Out of Service Fiber Monitoring

• One spare fiber required

• Any wavelength can be

used for test

• No link modification

required

• Monitoring 1 fiber allows

you to detect more than

80% of the cable faults

• Most economical solution

In Service Fiber Monitoring

• Every fiber can be monitored

• All fibers can be used for traffic

• Additional passive components required (WDM and filter)

• Useful for very strategic links and no spare fiber is available

Also called Active Fiber monitoring


RTU principles - OTDR monitoring

RTU

Our RTU (OTU-9500) will monitor fibers according to a cycle, switching from one fiber to another via an Optical Switch (OTAU).

Performance trends & Pro active maintenance

Detect defaults before they affect the Bit Error Ratio.

Monitor with OTDR a representative fiber of a cable and check :Total attenuation, connectors reflectance, splices...

Monitor the physical layer

Monitor each Wavelength on DWDM networks and check :Channel drifting, Power level, SNR, Composite Power, Total power, gain tilt, slope...

Regularly check the photonic layer

Organize pro-active maintenance campaigns on specific fibers and regularly store OTDR results for analysis :Total attenuation, connectors reflectance, splices...

Analyze trends over time




In case of Alarm from a RTU, it is very critical that the right person is alerted as quickly as possible.

ONMS offers a very powerful Alarm Management :

• Pop up Alarm Window on client • On Duty Management (Option)• Trouble ticket• OSS Interface• Alarm History• Local alarms at RTU location, redundancy of communications...

OSS Interface

SNMP is the preferred interface to exchange

information with OSS

Thanks to this interface, the OSS may :

• Have a complete view of ONMS database

• Receive alarm information automatically as soon as faults

occur

• Acknowledge alarms directly

• Launch a test on demand

• Correlate this information with other systems

OSS : Operation support system (supervisor of supervisors)

Web client

Acterna ONMS web client is a “Thin client”

-> Special GUI with Web feel and look

-> Accessible via any Web browser (Netscape, Internet Explorer…, Windows, Unix, Linux…)

-> No need to pre-install anything

-> No maintenance or upgrade

-> Limited amount of data to download (specially designed to optimize data download)

Web AccessWeb Access


Web Client functional overview

Extensive functions including :

• Alarm monitoring

• Event details for each alarm

• Test and/or measurement on demand

• Trace & spectrum analysis tools

• Domain segmentation (restricted access)

• Report generation

Secured Access through INTRANET / VPN

Reports generation

• MTTR : shows the mean time it takes to repair common faults.

• used to analyze the effectiveness of the maintenance program

• used as a sales tool to show how quickly faults are repaired.
