In modern network management, visualization functions have become essential tools. Through intuitive graphical displays, network administrators can more efficiently monitor and manage complex networks. At FS, we offer a choice called AmpCon™-T, for which we have written numerous articles. For example, a comprehensive introduction to AmpCon™-T, and its monitoring features. In this article, we will discuss the view characteristics of AmpCon™-T: Using AmpCon™-T to improve network monitoring efficiency. These articles aim to provide you with enough information to make the best choice for your environment.

AmpCon™-T Visualization Features

AmpCon™-T is a comprehensive management platform for centralized management, visual monitoring, and service configurations of D7000 series, enhancing efficiency and reducing costs. With a comprehensive logical architecture comprising operational management services, business management services, and basic management services, AmpCon™-T ensures centralized resource management and unified monitoring of equipment health. It currently supports the management of the entire FS D7000 series of devices.

How do you know if AmpCon™-T is right for you? In the following sections, we will explore the following features:

• Intuitive Dashboard Platform

• L0 L1 E2E Service Views

• Unified Topology View

Intuitive Dashboard Platform

AmpCon™-T offers an intuitive dashboard platform that consists of several panels displaying key metrics of system operations, including:

• 1. Device Count: Statistics on the number of different types of devices.

• 2. Service Count: The number of services created and the rate at which they were created.

• 3. Alarm Status: The number of alarms at each level and an advanced list.

• 4. Network Element Status: The online and offline status of various network elements.

By providing rich data visualization, network administrators can gain comprehensive real-time insights into the system's status and performance, quickly identifying and resolving issues, thereby enhancing monitoring efficiency.

L0 L1 E2E Service Views

The system supports L0 (Optical Layer Services), L1 (Electrical Layer Services), and E2E (End-to-End) service configuration management. Specific details include:

• L0 Service Configuration: Includes four parts—Optical Power Management, Amplifier Configuration, WSS, and TFF Configuration.

• L1 Service Configuration: Encompasses Port Management, Optical Power Management, OTN TTI, LLDP, and Alarms.

• E2E Service Configuration: Divided into three levels—OTS (Optical Transport Section), OMS (Optical Multiplex Section), and OCH (Optical Channel), which are used for end-to-end signal transmission.

AmpCon™-T supports the visualization of end-to-end services, showing the link connections between network devices:

• 1. Link Connections: Intuitive display of link connections to help users discover and monitor links.

• 2. Monitoring and Configuration: Supports real-time data visualization to understand overall network operations and improve monitoring efficiency.

Unified Topology View

AmpCon™-T also provides a unified topology view and device virtual panel display that supports:

• 1. Viewing Device Status: The online and offline status of devices.

• 2. Viewing Network Element Information: The network structure and operational status of all network elements in the system.

This unified topology view helps construct and manage the entire network topology, making it easier for administrators to monitor resource configurations and usage, thereby enhancing network operation efficiency.
