AEMS is an element management card for the Ventura series. It acts as an SNMP agent for all cards in the chassis, monitors and configures them using a Web browser. The Web interface presents a comprehensive set of status, control and alarm variables from a Ventura chassis. AEMS acts automatically as soon as a new card is inserted in one of the slots in the chassis. It also acts as an agent for card upgrades, storing multiple images for each card in the VS103 or VS101 chassis. Users can apply these images to install upgrades from a remote location. AEMS also includes advanced alarm handling capabilities and is designed to support telecommunication management principles.
