RADview-SC/TDM
Network Management System for TDM Applications

The RADview Service Center TDM(RV-SC/TDM) is the all-in-one TDM
application of the RAD family of network
management products. This application
enables end-to-end service managementof RAD’s Multiservice Access Platform(MAP) devices, for simplified service
provisioning.
Intuitive GUI, “point-and-click”
functionality, and easy-to-follow wizards
increase the efficiency and accuracy of theservice provisioning and monitoringprocess over SDH and PDH combinednetworks.
The open, scalable, multi-accessmanagement capabilities allow network
operators to add new services while
minimizing overall operating costs,
reducing provisioning times andmaximizing efficiency of the network
infrastructure.
RADview-SC/TDM offers full interoperation
with element management applications
using CORBA-based client-server
architecture.

NETWORK MONITORING

AUTOMATED SERVICE MANAGEMENT

RADview-SC/TDM displays graphic andalphanumeric network inventory
representations from nodes up to services
level.

RADview-SC/TDM supports automatic
service routing based on efficient
bandwidth resource analysis ofuser-configurable cost per link, service
priority, and protection level.

Dynamic network status indication andalarms are displayed per node, link,
SDH/SONET trail, frames and service. Only
service-affecting alarms are displayed,focusing the user on relevant information.
Online maps display various types ofparameters such as:•Services•

Network nodes and links•

Clouds and CE equipment•

Logical PDH rings and SDH/SONET trails•

Faults on nodes and links•

Clock source flow•

Bandwidth utilization•

Inventory•

Security access permissions.

NETWORK DISCOVERY
Discovery of existing network services, aswell as potential network configuration
conflicts, assures the best utilization ofexisting network resources and easymigration steps, in addition to generating
network configuration problem reports for
PDH and SDH/SONET levels.

Figure 1. Event Browser

An intuitive GUI increases the efficiency
and accuracy of the service provisioning
process, aided by “point-and-click”
functionality and easy-to-follow wizards,
with tips and hints bubbles throughout
the process.
Network uptime is maximized using
Provision Carrier Class Service protection
with PDH rings, SDH/SONET path
protection, and automatic N:1 software
service protection.
In case of failure while provisioning a new
configuration, full rollback to the original
configuration is provided.
Automatic service rerouting ensures
network resilience and maximizes theuptime of a critical service. This importantcapability enables the service provider touphold service level agreements (SLAs) per
provisioned service.
Service level reporting allow service
providers to quickly and efficiently
determine the uptime (in percentage) of aprovisioned customer circuit.
For user-friendly maintenance, existing
services can be edited and expanded,
while simulator mode enhances networkand service design, optimization andplanning.

FAULT MANAGEMENTSECURITY

SDH/SONET LAYER

RADview-SC/TDM fault management
correlates incoming events to service andhelps present the actual status of theprovisioned services.

Network access security is based on
authorization rights by:•Access level (administrator, operator,technician, and monitor)

It includes a history log that allows thefiltering of events according to event
types and users.

•Device level (write, read and noaccess)

RADview-SC/TDM supports SDH/SONET
Layer 1, easy monitoring of SDH/SONET
trails, frames, VCs and cross-connects
along the route. The system shows frameconfiguration based on allocated services
and optimizes provisioning on VC-sharedresources.

•User-profile architecture.

To maximize integrity, faulty services areautomatically and periodically self-healed
and repaired using priority-based repair ofmultiple services and periodical attempts,
in addition to manually initiated repairs.

NETWORK CLOUD
THIRD-PARTY INTEGRATION
RADview-SC/TDM uses CORBA-basedarchitecture as a northbound interface
that can be integrated with the carrier’s
front and back office systems and any
third-party application.
All system events published as CORBA
events allow an OSS application to listen
for well-filtered and relevant events fromone central system.

Figure 2. SDH Tunneling and Network Service View

Third-party devices can be embedded
using a special cloud node that can be set
up to include various end points andlinked to other MAP devices.
A sophisticated cross-connect wizard
allows the replication of third-party device
cross-connect data.
