Network Management
DmView is Datacom's Integrated Network and Element Management System, designed to supervise, configure, and automate the management of Datacom devices. It offers a complete set of features for fault management, performance monitoring, security, configuration, provisioning, auditing, inventory, network discovery, and topological visualization.
The DmView Maestro is the web-based interface, part of the DmView platform, which provides access to the latest functionalities directly through a browser, without the need to install additional software. With intuitive navigation, users can efficiently manage thousands of devices and ONUs with just a few clicks, quickly accessing ports, configurations, and monitored data.
Key Features and Advantages
- CLI and TR-069 Templates: Create, customize, and apply command templates across multiple devices or CPEs simultaneously. Supports both Freemarker and Python, allowing advanced logic, loops, conditionals, and dynamic adaptation based on device type or firmware. CLI and TR-069 templates can be manually applied or automatically executed using ZTP (Zero Touch Provisioning), triggered by SNMP traps or TR-069 Informs. Includes auditing of commands sent, responses received, users involved, and execution origin.
- DWDM Circuit Management (DM4920):
Create, edit, and remove end-to-end DWDM circuits directly in DmView Maestro (Web), with a step-by-step guided wizard, dynamic diagram assembly, and automatic consistency validations. Allows configuration of multirate channels (100G and 100G-QAM), EDFA amplifiers (Booster and Pre-Amp), optical links, OSC, and power parameters, as well as interactive visual diagnostics with monitoring of power, gain, status, and circuit alarms.
- Dynamic DmOS Support: The support for DmOS-based devices is model-driven and YANG-based, ensuring zero-day compatibility with any new equipment or firmware version released by Datacom. Status and configuration screens are dynamically generated, reflecting CLI coherence, field hints, allowed values, and data types directly from the device model.
- Full GPON/ONU Management: A centralized screen for managing all ONUs in the network, with filters, searches, sorting, and quick actions. Includes provisioning via preconfigured CLI templates, real-time updates, visual status indicators, and automated discovery of newly connected ONUs.
- TR-069 CPE Management (ACS): Complete Auto Configuration Server functionality for Datacom and multivendor CPEs, with parameter reading and configuration, firmware upload, reboot, diagnostics, user/password settings, mass actions, and detailed audit logs.
- ZTP - Zero Touch Provisioning: Automatically configures devices (CPEs, ONUs, OLTs, Switches) upon detection via TR-069 Informs or SNMP traps. Enhances scalability, minimizes manual errors, and supports complex scenarios using Python logic within CLI templates.
- Supervision and OAM: Real-time detection of network faults, including root cause correlation and affected elements. SNMP traps are received and grouped by context, with actions such as alerts, scripts, or sound notifications. Supports SNMP InformRequest (v2+), status dashboards, filtering, severity classification, masking, acknowledgment (ACK), and event termination (Terminate).
- Backup and Restore: Perform full backups of configuration files manually or by schedule, with flexible frequency options. Supports restore across models (for DmOS), purge of old versions, and import/export of backup files.
- End-to-End Service Provisioning: Provisioning of point-to-point and multipoint services across SDH, PDH, Ethernet (L2, MPLS), and GPON. Supports automatic or manual path discovery, service hierarchies (e.g., Nx64K over VC-12), protection paths, and hybrid topologies.
- Topological Maps: Hierarchical and geographic representation of the network, including discovery by subnet or IP range, inter-locality shortcuts, bottom-up fault propagation, and integration with link status, interfaces, and circuits. Sync status layer available for SDH/DM705.
- Performance Monitoring and Diagnostics: Monitor interface traffic, device availability, and counters using SNMP or NETCONF, including automatic polling and diagnostics tools like loopback tests, trace, and command execution. Real-time status summaries and port-level indicators.
- Firmware and Version Updates: Automated notifications for new firmware or DmView versions, displayed in context-aware UI elements. Integrated download center with version tracking and user-defined local firmware repositories.
- Security and AAA: Authentication via local database or LDAP, with role-based access (View, Test, Manager) defined per user, group, location, or equipment model. Configurable password policies, CAPTCHA, inactivity timeout, Single Sign-On (SSO) via Access Manager, and complete audit trail.
- Multivendor and Integrations: Northbound: REST APIs, SNMP traps, CSV exports. Southbound: SNMP, NETCONF, JSON-RPC, XML over HTTP/TCP, proprietary protocols. Multivendor CLI templates supported via optional licensing.
- Reporting and Inventory: Web-based reports with scheduling and filtering, covering physical (slots, ports, links, ONUs) and logical (circuits, services) inventories. Exportable in PDF, Excel (XLS/XLSX), CSV, and HTML. User-defined favorites and email/FTP/SFTP distribution.
- Deployment and Architecture: Deployable on physical or virtual servers, from standalone field notebooks to centralized clusters with high availability, automatic failover, and load balancing. Operates in both out-of-band (DCN) and in-band management scenarios.
