Northbound Interfaces
FOXMAN-UN offers several northbound interfaces, which can be activated via the FOXMAN-UN license. These interfaces enable the FOXMAN-UN integration into the following Higher Level Management (HLM) systems:
• SNMP for fault management;
• XML or CSV (file based) for inventory management
• Command line interfaces for inventory data retrieval and POTS line test in FOX51x NEs;
A terminal in the OSS is connected to a specific TCP port in the FOXMAN-UN core for each CLI interface. A special set of commands is available for the execution and the retrieval of results.
FOXMAN-UN supports the following HLM applications:
• SNMP, IBM Netcool certified (FM).
Additionally, FOXMAN-UN can be integrated into almost any HLM application providing SNMP based (southbound) interface.
