The WRM allows the user to configure threshold crossings, performance criteria, common equipment, diagnostics and loopbacks, facilities, alarms, system administration parameters and security on each Wavelength Router through a graphical interface. The WRM provides for the prevention and detection of improper use of network resources. The WRM Security enables the user to deter potential intrusion through user identification. The WRM's password authentication prevents intruders from masquerading as valid users. Access control features limit each user to authorized areas within a network element or WRM function.
Additional security is provided through security audit logs.
Security logs record security relevant actions that identify the user, a timestamp, and the requested action. The WRM security administration enables the addition or deletion of authorized users to not only the Wavelength Router but also the WRM itself. The WRM is designed with the future of telecommunications in mind. The architecture is built to ease the integration of the WRM into legacy networks without losing the advanced functionality required for optical networks. Inc.
