NETWORK WIRELESS SYSTEMS
The Flexent/AUTOPLEX wireless network architecture isevolving.
Therefore, an integrated OA&M framework is needed to
manage: new Flexent network elements
(e.g.. Application Processors, Flexent cell sites).
existing AUTOPLEX network elements
(e.g. ECPC, Series II cell sites).
Flexent OA&M Evolution Strategy

The Element Management System (EMS)
A new user interface for performing OA&M functions.
Introduced in Release13.0 for Flexent AP fault management.
Web-based Graphical User Interface (Release 15.0).
A new framework for OA&M applications. Eventually will replace ECP status display pages.
Eventually will provide one uniform OA&M fault management interfacefor all Flexent/AUTOPLEX network elements.
Runs on the OMP-FX.
First Step: Introducing the EMS
