Network Management and Maintenance Applications
The tools and applications bundled with the BCM provide statistics and notifications of the system
status and operation. Various network management applications are available and compatible for
operation with the BCM or network elements.
There are three categories of network management tools and applications available:
• BCM-specific tools and applications
• optional tools and applications
• third-party tools and applications
BCM-specific tools and applications
• Unified Manager (see also “Unified Manager Application Model): A web-based
configuration and maintenance application bundled with the Business Communications
Manager software. Unified Manager is the single point of access for managing all
programming for individual BCM systems. Access to the Unified Manager is password
protected, and is secure for both enterprise customers and small to medium sized businesses.
Administrators use Unified Manager to quickly set up BCM telephony and data functions, as
well as users, mailboxes, and directory numbers.
• Network Configuration Manager (NCM): Provides centralized configuration and system
management capabilities for a number of Business Communications Manager in a network.
This centralized functionality is required to enable multi-site Business Communications
Manager customers and channel partners to significantly reduce the cost of ownership of their
systems.
• BCM Monitor: This standalone diagnostic application allows you to view system and IP
telephony information on individual Business Communications Manager units. Open several
instances of BCM Monitor to monitor several remote BCM systems on a single PC
simultaneously. This tool supports real-time debugging. This tool also allows you to save and
process data at a later time to generate system utilization and traffic reports.
Optional tools and applications
• Optivity Network Management System (ONMS): Use Optivity NMS to manage Nortel data
devices such as Baystack switches, BPS2000, Passport LAN switches, BayRS, and Alteon.
Integrate Unified Manager into the Optivity Network Management System (NMS) via the
Optivity Integration Toolkit (OIT). Enable BCM discovery, launch, and alarm integration into
Optivity NMS. Business Communications Manager appears as an element in an ONMS
network discovery diagram. BCM SNMP traps are displayed by ONMS, and Unified Manager
is launched from within Optivity.
Note: If you require an integrated Unified Manager/ONMS configuration, contact Nortel
Networks to confirm the correct interoperation of the current releases BCM 3.6 and
ONMS.
