components

The term
is used when referring to functionality that is common to the Domain Managers:
  • for SONET/SDH
  • Optical Transport Manager for PDH (low order SONET/SDH)
  • for WDM
  • Optical Transport Manager for WM-NG
    The functions of SONET/SDH, PDH, and WDM Domain Managers are divided between two servers:
  • Topology Server
  • Analysis Server
    Currently only one Topology Server with one Analysis Server is supported for SONET/SDH, PDH, and WDM. Splitting these functions allows the OTM Domain Servers to improve scalability to larger optical networks.
    The topology and analysis functions are combined in the WDM-NG server. WDM-NG works with the SolutionPack for Optical Wavelength Services and the EMC M&R platform to collect data from EMS systems that support TMF 864. The S
    olutionPack for Optical Wavelength Services Summary Sheet
    article provides more information.
    In addition to the Domain Managers,
    works in conjunction with:
  • Global Manager and Global Console, both part of the

  • EMC M&R, the SolutionPacks for Optical Wavelength Services, and the SolutionPack for Smarts.
