Network Management Software

NMS is a Network Management Solution from LG-Ericsson for the IPECS Platform. The software allows mulit-site end users to easily manage their network, or allows LG-Ericsson Resellers to manage all customer installations from a single point.

IPECS NMS is designed to allow the optimisation of IPECS networks and provide realtime alerts to changes in system stability or device status.

NMS also allows remote programming and upgrades of all IPECS devices on the network.

Fault management and realtime system monitoring

IPECS NMS monitors registered systems in real-time to deliver fault and alarm event statistics. The NMS Server generates automatic e-mail alerts of faults and alarms defined as critical by the system manager. In addition, while on-line, NMS Server can be configured to notify the NMS Web client while the manager works on other PC tasks.

Managers can thus identify critical issues with monitored systems and take corrective measures before the faults become service affecting or even noticed by users.

Inventory Management

IPECS NMS monitors and maintains a list of the resources and components for all registered systems. The list includes the call server, each gateway, terminals and even soft-phones as well as software associated with each system and component.

Reports in the form of an Excel file can be generated by the system manager for analysis and inventory accounting within the company.

Web Based Client Access

IPECS NMS employs a Web based design for access to management tools and reports. Clients require no special software; using their browser, managers have full access to NMS services to monitor and maintain registered systems, components and applications from anywhere there is IP access.

Traffic Statistics

Understanding system resource usage is an effective starting point in managing a communication system. IPECS NMS monitors registered systems to deliver detailed traffic statistics covering use of the various components and resources of the system.

Managers can easily analyze the traffic data to determine under and over usage of resources as well as usege trend and adjust system configurations to address any issues. In addition, IPECS NMS provides detailed and summary data for call accounting and cost allocation..

Maintenance

Periodically, LG-Ericsson releases enhancements to the IPECS core software. This software is specifically designed to permit upload directly over the network. While simple, the process can be tedious and time consuming of you have multiple systems to maintain.

With iPECS NMS this potentially repetitive process is reduced to just a few clicks of your mouse, assuring accurate, efficient and complete upgrades to multiple IPECS systems and components.

Easy Installation and Operation

The IPECS NMS application is designed to easily install in a Windows environment. Following the simple installation wizard, the system manager can quickly complete installation. An intuitive user interface permits the manager to register up to 200 IPECS systems to a single IPECS NMS Server.

System managers can access the monitoring system whenever they want to access and wherever they are. Just by opening Internet Explorer on any networked PC, system managers can take full control of monitored systems. This access can be extended by forwarding a public IP address to the NMS Server giving secure access to the system from any internet enabled device.
