Basic Level 1 Package (V4 and above)
LightSoft Level 1 supports multilayer management of physical, SDH/SONET, Ethernet/MPLS, and
optical layers with multiple topology views. By facilitating evolution from an SDH/SONET-only
network to WDM and Ethernet/MPLS, LightSoft eliminates the need to replace the management
system or integrate new management systems into the existing one. The result – significant cost
savings, as well as reduced implementation time and risks when new technologies are introduced
to the network.
Controlling such a wide range of technologies from a single application allows LightSoft to implement
features that link and correlate information from different layers, providing customers with a
significant advantage. For example, users can quickly identify the relationship between NEs
by easily navigating between an Ethernet service, the MPLS tunnel it uses, and the underlying
SDH/SONET trail. Network Operations Center (NOC) operators can easily visualize physical and
logical network topologies, enabling quick troubleshooting and problem resolution even in complex
networks.
The Level 1 package comprises the following features:
Access to physical and EMS topology layers, providing graphical topology visualization of all
physicalNetwork Elements (NEs) and Element Management Systems (EMSs) managed by
LightSoft.
Access to SDH/SONET technology layer, providing graphical topology visualization and
point-and-click management of SDH/SONET equipment and trails.
Access to optical technology layer, providing graphical topology visualization and
point-and-click management of Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) equipment and Optical Transport Network (OTN) trails.
Access to Ethernet/MPLS data technology layer, providing graphical topology visualization and point-and-click management of MPLS tunnels and Ethernet services.
Performance Monitoring (current data), providing performance analysis tools for
SDH/SONET and optical trails, MPLS tunnels, and Ethernet services. Data is measured by
counters monitoring various parameters that affect QoS, in 15-minute or 24-hour intervals.
Basic Pathfinder automatic provisioning, providing advanced trail management functions that
allow creation, deletion, and modification of SDH/SONET and optical trails, MPLS tunnels,
and Ethernet services. LightSoft automatically selects optimal E2E primary and protection
paths across complex topologies via its advanced patent-pending Pathfinder algorithm, based
on the minimum hops criterion.
ASCII trail import/export interface, allowing trails to be exported in XML format and edited
offline in any text editor. These edited trails can then be imported back into the system.
Enhanced alarm functionality, including convenient user-notes linked to specific notifications,
counters, and filters that can be configured and saved per user, and alarm columns in the
trail lists.
Licensing for three concurrent users including configurator privileges, plus Right to Use (RTU)
licensing to manage two EMSs.
5
Enhanced Level 2 Package (V4 and above)
LightSoft's Level 2 package enables advanced network management, including all Level 1 package
features as well as the following additional tools and enhancements:
Resource Domain Partitioning (RDP), allowing service providers (SPs) to partition their network
according to logistical, technological, and organizational needs. Partitioning can make large
nationwide networks simpler to manage and network operation more efficient. For example,
an SP can assign regional NOCs access rights to equipment residing in their regions only, while
allowing a national NOC access to all equipment. Fine granularity access privileges are provided,
including assignment of rights to perform specific operations on specific resources within
an NE.
Enhanced provisioning features that support advanced Pathfinder criteria, allowing SPs to
fine-tune the automatic provisioning algorithm according to cost, utilization, and distance
parameters. This advanced capability enables a network engineer to program the intelligent
Pathfinder algorithm to handle the special network cases that often exist in today's complex
multi-technology networks.
Availability maps, showing the amount of resources available for each link at various rates, with
customizable ranges and colors. This is an invaluable tool for network traffic planning.
Timing maps, enabling visualization and monitoring of the network's timing topology using a
convenient color-coding scheme. Specific timing sources can be specified.
Nested groups, allowing users to create groups of NEs within any physical or logical topology
view. NE groups can be nested within other groups, thereby condensing the size of the topology
display. The user can easily zoom in or out of a group. This greatly simplifies management of
large networks, allowing for easy visualization of a network comprising thousands of NEs from
a single screen.
Enhanced maintenance features, enabling remote trail-oriented maintenance operations
directly from LightSoft, such as path protection switching, Remote Detection Indication (RDI),
and loopback.
6
Expansion Packages
LightSoft Level 1 and Level 2 packages include licensing for three concurrent users and management
of two EMSs. EMS licenses are expanded in increments of one. User licenses are expanded in
increments of either one or ten for greater flexibility, for up to 100 concurrent users (V5 and above).
Large installations, especially configurations including over 1000 NEs, benefit from the Clustering
add-on for improved performance, high availability, and load balancing (High Availability Clustering
Solution, on page 10).
LightSoft Product Add-Ons
In addition to the Level 1 and 2 packages, the LightSoft portfolio includes a suite of valuable
add-ons that further enhance LightSoft with additional interfaces and functionality. These add-ons
can be added to Level 1 or Level 2 packages.
Alarm Correlation (V4 and above)
Alarm Correlation for the SDH/SONET layer automatically identifies the root cause of a fault,
eliminating the need to sift through the avalanche of alarms often triggered by a root alarm.
LightSoft can be configured to display only primary alarms in the Current Alarms window, enabling
the NOC operator to focus on the root cause of the fault without the difficult and time consuming
task of analyzing and sorting through the secondary alarms as well, thereby improving efficiency,
speeding up response time, and providing significant OPEX savings. The following figure depicts
an example of how the number of displayed alarms can be reduced using alarm correlation.
7
Alarm Forwarder (V3 and above)
The Alarm Forwarder provides alarm notification by Short Messaging Service (SMS) and email to
technicians' and managers' mobile phones, PDAs, and email accounts. This feature is especially
useful for service providers that prefer to close their Network Operation Centers (NOCs) after
business hours, for significant OPEX savings.
Network operators have full control of alarm notification formats, either individually or as a statistical
summary, according to configurable alarm count thresholds. By enabling separate thresholds to
be maintained for SMS and email channels, LightSoft allows service providers to streamline alarm
notifications according to their needs.
The Alarm Forwarder can also export current alarms to remote FTP servers, providing a seamless
interface with external fault monitoring systems, using an ASCII format compatible with many
legacy alarm management systems. Alarm data are automatically exported via FTP to multiple
target host systems.
Automatically Switched Optical Network (ASON) Management (V5 and above)
ASON technology uses a control plane to introduce intelligence to the transport layer, enabling
reactive restoration that takes into account the current state of the transport network. LightSoft's
ASON add-on allows service providers to take advantage of ASON capabilities in the network,
supporting two additional types of trail protection: 1+R restoration and 1++ Trail Protection. These
new protection methods enable service providers to provide trail resiliency while dedicating less
bandwidth than traditional methods, allowing a significant reduction in costs.
LightSoft displays the ASON domain in the physical layer topology and provides an availability map
for the ASON domain that displays link utilization status.
8
Central User Administration (V5 and above)
LightSoft offers a centralized user administration functionality that is especially useful for large
enterprises. Complex organizations often incorporate multiple controlled-access systems that
require secure logins. Centralized user administration systems such as Lightweight Directory
Access Protocol (LDAP) greatly simplify these tasks.
LDAP is a popular protocol for accessing online directory services. It is typically used as an
enterprise-wide database, providing a single way to add and remove users in all user programs.
LDAP is also effective for enforcing user security policies. Instead of the LightSoft server, an LDAP
server can be used to add/remove users and configure authorization levels. LightSoft supports
multiple working configuration options, including the use of a backup LDAP server and fallback
to local authorization as needed.
Customer Network Management (CNM) (V4 and above)
CNM enables SPs to lease network resources to customers, allowing the customer to
self-manage those resources. The sophisticated scheme allows both the customer and the SP to
perform alarm management, troubleshooting, and maintenance operations on the resources. For
service provisioning purposes, the resources are exclusively reserved for the designated customer
only so that services intended for other customers cannot be provisioned on those resources. For
example, a Carrier of Carriers can lease out portions of the network to other carriers, who in turn
can autonomously and safely provision and monitor services using LightSoft.
CNM allows carriers to differentiate themselves within the market, providing them with a revenue
generation opportunity by selling CNM as a value-added service. This offloads a significant part of the
network management effort from the SP to its customers, thereby reducing operating expenses.
9
High Availability Clustering Solution
The LightSoft cluster solution provides high availability and load balancing, essential features for
large networks and/or mission-critical management.
The load balancing feature automatically divides the load from NMS processes, EMS interfaces,
and client applications between all cluster nodes. High availability configuration distributes NE
management between cluster nodes. Software resiliency is provided through software process
redundancy. In the event of a software process failure, service is automatically switched.
MultiPeriod Performance Monitoring (MPPM) (V4 and above)
MPPM provides historical data collection and reports on performance monitoring counters for
trails, tunnels, and services, allowing SPs to detect trends and momentary events that affect
network performance over a period of time. This enables SPs to guarantee network performance
in accordance with customer SLAs and easily monitor all performance counters for every service,
thereby ensuring customer satisfaction.
Counters are available for 24-hour intervals and results can be aggregated on a daily, weekly, or
monthly basis. Reports can be generated in a graphical or tabular format, and exported in standard
formats such as CSV, PDF, and RTF.
MTNM-CORBA Northbound Interface (V3 and above)
LightSoft's Northbound CORBA interface provides a rich integration technology between LightSoft
and higher level OSS and umbrella management systems. The CORBA interface fully supports
TeleManagement Forum's TMF-814 MTNM 3.5 standard, providing increased operating efficiency
through automation and integration of OSS, network management, and element management
systems. It also enables multi-vendor interoperability.
MTNM interfaces provide support for connection and equipment provisioning, fault management,
maintenance, and performance monitoring operations, for all EMSs managed by LightSoft. Features
may vary, depending on the EMS. MTNM interface licensing is flexible, with options for up to five
interfaces available in increments of one.
10
MTOSI Web Services Gateway (V4.2 and above)
LightSoft’s MTOSI web services gateway provides XML/SOAP interfaces for alarms, inventory,
topology, security, and provisioning, using NGOSS and SOA design principles. The gateway fully
supports the TMF-854 MTNM standard.
SNMP Alarm Gateway (V3 and above)
LightSoft’s SNMP alarm gateway provides a highly efficient interface, allowing rapid integration
between LightSoft and any external alarm management systems.
SQL Interface (V3 and above)
LightSoft’s SQL interface offers a direct interface to LightSoft's database, providing read-only
access to NMS databases for queries by external customer applications. Data includes equipment
inventory, various NE attributes, full topology, and trail and customer information. In addition,
extensive documentation of the interface is provided for customers and third-party vendors.
EMS-XDM
EMS-XDM is an EMS operating directly under the LightSoft NMS. EMS-XDM can control hundreds of
XDM NEs at a time, providing a wide range of management functions, including alarms, configuration,
inventory, provisioning, and security management. EMS-XDM can run under the Sun Solaris operating
system on a Sun™ workstation, either SPARC or X86-based (V8.12 and above).
The user-centric design includes a clear intuitive GUI that simplifies element management. NEs can
be viewed from three perspectives: a graphic network map; a hierarchical tree topology enabling
easy any-to-any navigation to any NE or network component, including direct access to shelf and
card; and a shelf view that enables simple management per shelf through a single context-sensitive
configuration window.
11

18
Generic EMS
ECI Telecom is aware of the need for customers to have complete management of all NEs, regardless
of each one’s specific functionality. Guided by our open standards approach, ECI Telecom offers the
Generic EMS to facilitate this strategy, providing a valuable solution to the entire customer base.
While serving as a translator, the Generic EMS receives SNMP traps or events from the NE and
converts them to the MTNM protocol. It receives commands from the NMS and delivers them to
the NE. It can also be customized to serve as a platform for specific project requirements.
The Generic EMS offers a cost-effective management solution, enabling customers to have an
integral view of their network with minimal integration efforts and affordable licensing cost. Generic
EMS capabilities can benefit:
Network operators that want to cut their OPEX and simplify network management integration
with newly introduced NEs.
Network operators that want quick and simple integration with existing SNMP-based equipment
while leveraging the advantages of LightSoft.
Basic Package
The basic package supports management of up to 50 BroadGate AccessWaves, Ceragon links,
or any other third-party platforms, with unlimited high-power rack mounted EDFAs and RAMAN
amplifiers and one northbound MTNM interface for smooth integration with an NMS or OSS.
Expansion Package
Expansion packages provide licensing for additional NEs. The expansion package chosen depends on
the equipment in the basic configuration. Options include adding licenses for additional BroadGate
AccessWave NEs (in increments of 25 NEs), or adding licenses for additional Ceragon links (in
increments of 100, 200, or over 200 links).
19
Remote Database Replication (RDR)
ECI Telecom's management portfolio includes RDR, a field-proven cost-effective redundancy
mechanism that provides full network management backup capabilities for Disaster Recovery
Plans (DRPs). System continuity is assured. RDR is flexible and can be configured in a wide variety
of topologies. It provides optimal protection consistent with geographic infrastructure distribution,
security needs, and available budget for standby mirror hardware. RDR can be used for:
Data protection
Disk protection
Host protection (primary and mirror sites connected via LAN)
Site protection (primary and mirror sites connected via long distance link)
Working with duplicate management hardware, one station serves as the active site (primary
server) and the other as the standby site (backup server and mirror). One standby site can back
up multiple stations (1:N). RDR performs periodic remote data backups (replication) between
primary stations and the backup server. Backup data can subsequently be restored (synchronized)
on a mirror station. For enhanced efficiency, a system of incremental backups at three different
levels is included.
Failure in the active site leads to a quick switchover to the standby site and resumed network
management. The intelligent database signature feature updates standby sites with all NE
configuration data changed since the last replication. When the primary server is restored, a
replication from the standby site preserves changes made while the primary server was down. A
client workstation can be connected over the same LAN to both the active and standby sites, so a
client session can always be initiated on the station presently managing the network.
20
Basic Package
The basic package consists of the RDR application, usually installed on the backup or standby
server, depending on the specific system configuration.
Expansion Package
RDR expansion refers to the number of protected applications at the mirror sites. The cost of
each additional standby application added to the protection group is a function of the cost of the
primary application.
Integration and Service Options
All applications support OSS integration at various levels, including alarms, PM, OAM, provisioning,
and inventory management. ECI management packages have been integrated smoothly with Tier 1
vendors around the world. Contact ECI Telecom Global Sales Division for additional pricing details
of OSS integration support and annual warranties.
