    NETWORK WIRELESS SYSTEMS

    The Flexent/AUTOPLEX wireless network architecture isevolving.

    Therefore, an integrated OA&M framework is needed to

    manage: new Flexent network elements

    (e.g.. Application Processors, Flexent cell sites).

    existing AUTOPLEX network elements

    (e.g. ECPC, Series II cell sites).

    The Element Management System (EMS)

    A new user interface for performing OA&M functions.

    Introduced in Release13.0 for Flexent AP fault management.

    Web-based Graphical User Interface (Release 15.0).

    A new framework for OA&M applications. Eventually will replace ECP status display pages.

    Eventually will provide one uniform OA&M fault management interfacefor all Flexent/AUTOPLEX network elements.

    Runs on the OMP-FX.
