INTRODUCTION
This chapter includes an overview of the CORView Lite Element Manager Software and lists
conventions that this manual uses.

Overview — page 1-1


Document Conventions — page 1-2

Overview

The CORView Lite Element Manager Software is a distributed client/server application designed
to address the management needs of ARRIS optical and RF network access products in your
HFC network. It supports ARRIS CHP family of products providing complete fault and
configuration management functions.

The software is a robust, scalable application that can support 5 SMMs, thus managing up to
500 modules (transmitters, receivers, amplifiers, etc.) with a single instance.

Topology Manager Features


■ Network displayed in the form of a tree hierarchy of location, site, chassis, and
module.

■ Chassis view shows the physical arrangement of modules within a chassis.

Fault Management Features


■ The server determines active alarm conditions by listening for asynchronous SNMP
traps from the network and also by proactively polling.

■ Active alarm conditions in the network are displayed in a table that can be sorted
and/or filtered.

■ Alarm status for network elements is indicated in the GUI client with different colors
based on the severity of the alarm (green: normal, yellow: minor, red: major) to
easily identify trouble spots just by looking at the screen. Active alarm tables and the
colors on the screen are updated in real time as alarms occur or clear.

Configuration Features
■ The user can select a module or a chassis from the topology view and launch
configuration dialogs for viewing optical and RF parameters.

■ The configuration dialogs provide a consistent interface for all module and
configuration types.

Overview

CORView’s Digital Element Management System (DEMS) provides one-way status monitoring
and alarm reporting capability for Digital Return-based Optical Nodes and Remote Optical
Hubs. Supported Outside Plant Equipment currently includes OM6000, OM4100, OM2741,
TM4100, SG4000, MBN100 and VSN200.

Note For OM6000, OM4100, OM2741 and TM4100 Nodes, status and alarm
information is available for all modules within the Node. For SG4000 and MBN100
Nodes, this information is limited to the Digital Return Transmitter that is connected
to the Headend.

DEMS collects the following status and monitoring information from the Nodes:

■ Identification of Node modules present

■ Upstream wavelengths utilized

■ Status monitoring of overall Node health

■ Detailed monitoring information from each of the modules present in each of the
field Nodes in an HFC network

Figure 7.1 illustrates the data flow of the DEMS application.
