LightningEdge Network Supervisor (LE-NS)

World Wide Packets LE-NS offers end-to-end management of a LightningEdge Commercial Services deployment to decrease operational costs and increase revenues. LE-NS provides the following capabilities:

• Software version control
• Automatic device provisioning
• Configuration management
• Heartbeat monitoring
• Logical topology discovery
• Hierarchical topology base-maps
• Alarm correlation and processing
• End-to-end service provisioning

LE-NS provides a solution for the Cable Operator to deploy a fully switched Commercial Services network with a provisioning model similar to a cable modem. Installation crews need only communicate the MAC address of the switch installed at the customer premise to the Network Operations Center (NOC). LE-NS then insures the operator approved software release is automatically installed and the device specific configuration is activated for service delivery and NOC monitoring. With LE-NS the Cable Operator accelerates revenue while increasing customer satisfaction due to the following:

• Reduced service turn-up time
• Minimized operational expenses for Moves/Adds/Changes
• Enhanced network security
• Simplified software management
• Immediate connectivity with the NOC
• Reduced field crew training
