The growing complexity of service provider networks based on multi-vendor product solutions poses serious challenges to effective network and system management. To overcome these obstacles, network managers must consolidate diverse network management applications under a single network management umbrella.

The Alcatel 5620 NMS open architecture facilitates the integration of multi-vendor devices management. Employing Model Descriptors (MD), it can manage SNMP third-party network elements.

The RAD Model Descriptors feature the following applications:

Navigate - facilitates auto-discovery and maps the node, slot, interface, and connection into the managed object heirarchy

Draw - displays a visual image of the managed device

Configure - provides forms to configure any object attributes in the managed device

Monitor - monitors and reports the status of the managed objects.

The RAD Model Descriptors extend the capabilities of the Alcatel 5620 NMS to manage RAD ATM devices, and provision end-to-end services
