Network management
CommScope POL solutions provide network administrators three options for accessing and
managing their EPON or GPON networks.
• Command line interface (CLI)
• Element management system (EMS)
• Simple network management protocol (SNMP)
Each of these methods enables administrators to manage configuration settings, active
components, alarms and more.
Command line interface (CLI)
CLI enables the IT support staff to use thousands of commands to control and configure the
POL. Command lines can be connected directly to the OLT system control unit or fed remotely
using a Telnet connection through a TCP/IP network. Please refer to the reference documents
OLT C9016 User Manual and OLT C9500 User Manual for detailed CLI information.
Element management system (EMS)
Element management system (EMS) is an optional standalone, GUI-based network
management package that resides on a server and supports a multiclient architecture. The
intuitive interface gives system administrators efficient control and management of GPON and
EPON POL systems. These capabilities include configuration management for OLTs and ONUs,
ports, VLAN, multicast operations and quality of service; real-time monitoring and management
of performance and alarms; traffic statistics; and the ability to perform system backups and
software upgrades. Figure 16 shows an example of the EMS GUI screen shot.
