Management of Ethernet Networks 

The management suite for the 9000 Family enables simple delivery of end-to-end Carrier Ethernet solutions, meeting the strict demands of service providers for carrier-grade services. The management suite is multi-layered, GUI-driven and provides extensive Operations, Administration and Maintenance (OAM) capabilities. The unique tools of the management suite enable service providers to reduce their capital and operational expenditures (CAPEX and OPEX) by maintaining efficient network design and efficient OAM activities.

ECI's Carrier Ethernet management solutions work in concert with the entire ECI portfolio to provide a complete solution tied together by ECI's 1Net architectural framework.

• EMS 9200 – an element management system for the 9200 Series
• LightSoft – a network management system (NMS) that provides a comprehensive view of the network, the prospect for Packet-Optical integration and one focal point for all OAM activities
