Brief Introduction of System Architecture

The M2000 system works in client/server mode. The M2000 software consists of the client software, server

software, and NE mediation software, which is mutually

independent. The client software runs on the client, and the

server software and mediation software run on the server.
The hardware of an M2000 client refers to a PC. An M2000

system can have multiple clients, and can have either one
server or two servers. The two servers constitute a High Availability (HA) system.

M2000 Physical Structure Overview

A typical M2000 system consists of:

Servers Clients Alarm box

Other networking devices

Using a dial-up server, you can operate and maintain

the M2000 system through the Public Switched

Telephone Network (PSTN).

M2000 NE Mediation Software

The M2000 mediation module software consists of a series

of mediation software. Each piece of mediation software corresponds to one or more NE versions.
The mediation software provides the interface files and

mediation files that the NE needs to access the M2000

system.

Signaling Tracing
The signaling tracing is a key method used for locating the

faults. The M2000 system traces user signaling messages of the NEs.
You can create message tracing tasks on the M2000 client,

and specify an NE user to trace its signaling messages in real time. In addition, you can save these signaling

messages into files for later query.

Carry out device maintenance operations such as resetting

the boards.

Entire Network Time Management

Time Zone Management

The M2000 system can manage the processes and faults occurring within itself and NEs located in different time zones. It automatically processes the time change because of different time zones.
DST

The M2000 system supports the DST system and automatically processes the time change.
Time Synchronization

The M2000 system provides NTP services to synchronize the NEs with the M2000 system. With this function, you can ensure the consistency between network management data, thereby improving the network status analysis.
