Telenet EPM Platform FTTH WM

About

This is a configuration manager connector designed to process a single provisioning file per DMS (Device Management System) for passive components, generating unique IDs for entities within the file.

The connector is responsible for generating a CSV file for each ONT (Optical Network Terminal) change after reading from a Kafka stream topic.

Configuration

Connections

Virtual connection

This connector uses a virtual connection and does not require any input during element creation.

Initialization

When you have created a new Telenet EPM Platform FTTH WM element, define the following parameters on the Configuration page:

Import Settings

  • Entity Import Directory: Set the generic GPON entity import path used throughout the EPM Solution.

Export Settings

  • Entity Export Directory: Specify the generic GPON entity export path used throughout the EPM Solution.

System Credentials

  • System Username: The username with access to the remote directory. If no domain is provided, the domain from the element's DMA location will be used.
  • System Password: The password of the user for accessing the remote directory.

Topic Kafka Settings

  • Entity Export Directory: Specify the path where KAFKA Stream update files are located.

Synchronization File Settings

  • File Sync Offloading Time: Define the timing for offloading ONT statuses.

Provisioning

The provisioning of the EPM Solution is sequential and involves the following components:

  • Skyline EPM Platform FTTH as frontend element: Responsible for the top-level data aggregation and for displaying the topologies.
  • Skyline EPM Platform FTTH as backend element: In charge of the data aggregation from the collectors.
  • Skyline EPM Platform FTTH Collector: In charge of the ONT data aggregation from an OLT.
  • Telenet EPM Platform FTTH WM: Creates compatible files regarding the passives available within the GPON infrastructure and the KAFKA OLT KPIs.

How to use

The Telenet EPM Platform FTTH WM is configured to manage ONT statuses by extracting and parsing GZIP files generated by a Kafka consumer element. These statuses are then forwarded to OLT elements.

A file containing ONT changes is offloaded daily, encompassing all ONTs in the cluster.
