Universal Gateway Manager (UGM)
The Cisco Universal Gateway Manager (UGM) is a next-generation element
management system offering robust, scalable, carrier-class capabilities for the Cisco
AS5000 series of Universal Gateways. Providing comprehensive FCAPS (fault,
configuration, accounting/inventory, performance, security) capabilities, the UGM
enables operators to effectively configure, manage, and maintain dial access networks.
The Cisco UGM facilitates the rapid deployment of new services and provides quick
and effective network diagnostics to meet the rigorous demands of today's fast-moving
marketplace.
FastStep for Access Servers
The FastStep for Access Servers configuration tool offers three main features to make
the set up of an AS5300 quick and painless. The first is a simple GUI interface for fast
configuration and set up; the second is a step by step configuration of trunk lines, LAN
and WAN interfaces, IP address pools, and authentication; and the third is an easy
download utility to load IOS and modem portware images to server. Fast Step for
Access Servers comes bundled with every AS5300 purchase.
Resource Pool Manager
Cisco Resource Pool Management (RPM) enables wholesale access providers to
virtually lease universal ports supporting either voice or dial to their retail SP
customers. Wholesalers can aggregate resources across universal gateways (UGs) and
allocate subsets of these resources to retail SPs, guaranteeing that customers receive
their allocated ports. Service level agreements (SLA) for each retail SP are enforced by
RPM. Resource pool management can be done using the RPM component of the
resource pooling solution on the UG or by using this in conjunction with one or more
external RADIUS-based Cisco Resource Pool Manager Servers (RPMS). RPMS
supports multi-vendor environments, providing the universal gateways meet the
RADIUS RFC standard.
