6.4 EMS Software User Interface
The
EMS
software
provides
two
user
interfaces:
the
Graphical
User
Interface
(GUI)
and
the
Network
Operation
Center-Network
Element
Manager
(NOC/NEM)
interface.
Both
interfaces
provide
essentially
the
same
functionality
except
only
the
GUI
can
upgrade
the
LRCS
system
with
new
system
software.
In
addition,
only
the
NOC/NEM
interface
can
record
and
playback
alarm
data.
The
GUI
is
presented
at
the
EMS
computer
or
on
a
laptop
computer.
The
GUI
is
used
for
local
control
and
monitoring
operations.
The
GUI
consists
of
a
series
of
displays
and
screens,
such
as
the
one
shown
in
Figure 2-10,
that
provide
the
user
with
alarm
and
status
information
and
that
allow
the
user
to
set
various
operating
parameters.

The
NOC/NEM
interface
is
a
command
line
interface
that
is
presented
at
an
NOC
terminal.
The
NOC/NEM
interface
is
used
for
remote
control
and
monitoring
operations.
The
NOC/NEM
interface
consists
of
ASCII
text
strings
that
are
input
as
SET
or
GET
commands
which
are
followed
by
the
action
or
information
required.
A
text
string
response
is
received
from
the
specified
LRCS
system
or
systems
to
confirm
the
requested
action
or
to
report
the
requested
information.
Examples
of
several
typical
NOC-NEM
interface
commands
and
the
responses
received
are
shown
in
Figure 2-11.
The
NOC/NEM
interface
requires
only
a
VT100
terminal/
emulator
or
a
PC-type
computer
that
is
loaded
with
a
communication
software
such
as
Procomm
Plus.
While
primarily
intended
for
use
at
the
NOC,
the
NOC/NEM
interface
commands
may
also
be
input
from
the
EMS
computer.
