System Management Overview

ASR 5500 management capabilities reflect the requirements of the Telecommunications Management Network
(TMN) model for network element (NE) and element management system (EMS) functions. The system also
supports external element management applications via standards-based protocols (CORBA and SNMPv1,
v2). Wireless operators can readily integrate the ASR 5500 into their overall network, service, and business
management systems. All management is performed out-of-band for security and to maintain system
performance.
