• Configuration management (Node equipment provisioning, connection provisioning, and node software download).
• Security management (Node access control, NMS security control, and management privilege control).
• Database management (system data, software version, and database backup).
• Fault management (Current and History Alarms monitoring and Filter settings).
• Performance Management (Performance counters and statistics, table and graphs).
• Graphical display of network topology.
