 Monitor and Control
The ROSA Element Manager (EM)
is specifically designed to cost effectively monitor and
control the transmission network of headends, hub sites
and HFC outside plants, and transmitter sites. ROSA EM
provides the operator insight to what is occurring in
their transmission network and automatically notifies
the on duty technicians and engineers if the network
begins to operate outside of normal thresholds. The main
functions of the ROSA EM are to:
-
Monitor the health of the
transmission network and associated facilities. ROSA
EM actively polls all of the devices that it manages
looking for potential problems
-
Set up and / or change the
configuration of equipment remotely
-
Send alarms when out of normal
conditions exists. When ROSA EM detects a problem it
will notify the technicians and engineers of the
alarm condition by sending a Page, Email, SMS,
and/or SNMP Trap
-
Translate proprietary protocols
to SNMP and pass information to higher-level
managers. ROSA EM communicates with the devices it
manages by proprietary protocol, SNMP or contact
closures then translates this information in to SNMP
before passing the information to one or more
higher-level managers.
-
Backup equipment/service in the
event of equipment failure. ROSA EM can trigger
predefined backup routines that are designed to
reroute service to standby devices when a primary
device fails.
-
Perform local automation tasks
