NMS vs. EMS
• EMS: • NMS:
• manages one or more of a specific type of • manages the communication between NEs,
network elements (NEs). It also allows the monitoring and administering a network
user to manage all the features of each NE
individually

System Overview and Architecture
Proprietary and Confidential
NetMaster Concept
• Based on Java technology
• Flexible SW components
• Platform independent
• Scalable HW platform
• Client-server architecture
Proprietary and Confidential 5
NetMaster Concept
• Full set of FCAPS functionalities
• Open SNMP adapter – managing any 3rd party SNMP based network
element
• Complete redundancy & backup functionality
• Strong secured solution, flexible User access control
Proprietary and Confidential 6
Architecture - Modular and Future-Proof Design
• Based on a modular and future-proof
architecture
• NetMaster cost-effectively manages
thousands of network elements
• Network supervisors, field engineers and
network maintenance staff can easily
supervise the network from the view of the
bird’s eye down to the single network element
level – from any location, from any device

Client – Server Platform
Proprietary and Confidential
Networks with less than 200 NEs:
Co-Located System
•Application Server, Data Base Server may be in the
same Hardware.
•Clients may also be in the same hardware and/or
separated PCs.
Proprietary and Confidential 10
Networks with more than 200 NEs:
• Application Server, DB Server and Client
should be in different Hardware.
Clients
Client
Proprietary and Confidential 11
Networks with more than 200 NEs:
• Client and server are connected by the
TCP/IP network. Communication between
client and server (Protocol) are based on
Java Remote Method Invocation (Java
RMI).
• A periodical DB back up must be schedule
in the Database Server.

SERVER
• Runs continuously in the background as a service.
• Manage the interaction of all NetMaster system components.
• Provides communication with all network elements (SNMP).
• Designed based on JAVA/J2EE technology, hence suitable for porting to
other Operating systems.
• There are not user interface for the server. All configuration will be done
from clients.

SERVER
• The NetMaster SNMP Agent is an optional feature which requires a
separate license.
• The agent provides topological information according to the
standardized ENTITY-MIB (RFC 2737), and alarm state of the
various network elements through proprietary tables and variables
given in the proprietary NETMASTER-MIB.
• State changes are communicated to managers by means of SNMP
traps.
• The SNMP Agent is a specialized client.
• Inventory Management Reporting. Current HW and SW
configuration. It updates, insertion/deletion of NE modules or the
discovery of new NEs through the interface.
