Audit Management for Fast, Accurate Design Verication
In comparison to manual methods, the NETSMART 2000 Audit
Management feature* cuts network auditing time by 50%. The audit
management feature provides an actual equipment review against the
planned network design, centralizes the data storage, and speeds up
the process of verifying equipment selection and network placement.
Used in conjunction with the NETSMART 1500 Management System,
operations and planning personnel can review the state of the
network remotely. The audit management feature accurately compares
inventory with proposed network equipment changes and enables
discrepancies to be identied without the need for site visits. The audit
management tool also increases equipment lifespan by conrming
that deployed and planned ber characteristics are within a
comparable range of designated values.
Key Audit Management Capabilities
For a site or subnetwork, an audit is conducted by importing data
generated from a NETSMART 1500 report and correlating site names to
the TIDs in the inventory report, either manually or using a global
mapping le. Once the sites are mapped, an audit of the network is
executed by selecting the Audit icon from the toolbar. A report is
generated detailing discrepancies for the following items:
• Site • Line card
• Shelf • SFPs
• Amplier • Fiber connection
• Common • Fiber characteristics
• DCM
The audit management feature provides objective validation of
network deployment. With other vendors’ auditing systems or services,
subjective reports are gathered manually, a time-consuming and error-
prone process. The NETSMART 2000 Design and Planning Tool offers
an economical, accurate, time-sensitive method.
The automatic polling interface for the audit management feature
uses federation creation provided to aid in communication to the
NETSMART 1500 server. There is an online mode for automated edits
and an ofine mode for setup and manual edits. The interface reduces
setup time to execute an audit by automatically scheduling audits,
eliminating manual intervention.
* The Audit Management feature is optional and must be purchased
separately from the latest NETSMART 2000 software release. It is only
available on a server-based deployment of the NETSMART 2000 system.

Efcient Reporting and On-Demand Rack Face Drawings
The NETSMART 2000 system provides the most comprehensive
reporting available on the market for a service provider-controlled
network design tool. These reports allow personnel to quickly evaluate
network designs:
• Performance and cabling reports deliver accurate information for
quick troubleshooting of network errors with optical performance
characteristics.
• Rack face drawings reduce the time needed to engineer and install a
site, and consequently speed up time to market for new service
offerings.
These printable reports and drawings are generated in just a few
seconds, with critical network information presented in an easy-to-
review graphical format. The NETSMART 2000 system replaces
numerous tedious, time-consuming tasks with a single reporting
menu.
Installation, Troubleshooting and Turn-Up in Less Time
NETSMART 2000 reports are particularly useful for operations and
planning personnel who need to improve troubleshooting accuracy by
improving access to information about the network. The NETSMART
2000 performance reporting features are also particularly useful for
installers and turn-up technicians when activating a site.
Manually creating a rack face drawing is very labor-intensive process
and requires in-depth knowledge of equipment. The drawing may
need to be separately acquired from a specic department or group.
With NETSMART 2000, users can create customizable rack
conguration designs which match their network standards,
signicantly decreasing the time required to congure the expansion
racks. Users can also align OADM equipment and bers with deployed
networks to document “as built” states. NETSMART 2000 reporting
features also speed up the process of creating demand reports
detailing equipment for sites and demands. This includes
information about slot placement, and characteristics such as
protection schemes, latency values, demand endpoints and
intermediate sites. Optical performance reports provide accurate
information about metrics such as Optical Signal-to-Noise Ratio
(OSNR) and power levels. This speeds up testing and
troubleshooting times. Cabling reports list each individual cable
together with information about the end units and port
connections.
NETSMART 2000 Performance Reports
• Cabling – Reduces the time needed to produce an installation
plan by providing complete information about network needs
• Channel plan – A graphical representation of the channels in use on
each segment of a subnetwork
• Demands – Comprehensive information including add/drop
endpoints, signal rate, protection for client and network, equipment
selection and wavelength, attached sub-rates for staged demands,
equipment shelf and slot location, and working path latency
• Network reachability – A graphical representation of viable paths
from node to node in a subnetwork, with details about supported
line rates and failed lightpaths
• Optical graphs – Graphical representations of power levels for a
subnetwork, showing both transmit and receive power (dBm) for
each site of a subnetwork, in addition to optical power levels (dBm),
OSNR level (dB), and chromatic dispersion (ps/nm)
• Rack and shelf illustrations – Graphical shelf illustrations showing
unit placement
• Models and PIDs – Enables site-level BOMs to be formatted to
match specied models and exported to Excel. The report details
equipment for a site at the rack, shelf, and card level. This report
requires the purchase of the Models and PIDs optional feature.

Network Reachability Reporting Determines
Optimal Network Pathways
Network reachability and Network Reachability Matrix* reduce the cost
of network deployment by identifying and selecting the lowest cost
paths for 10, 40 and 100 Gbps wavelengths at designated FEC rates.
The feature enables service providers to evaluate optimized routes in
ring, linear, and mesh networks. Reachability matrix reviews the
viability of every possible route and documents the viable paths.
Reachability provides data that can be displayed on demand for any
selected path, segment or subnetwork, and reachability matrix is able
to review the entire network.
Unique Demand-Planning Capabilities
Network reachability has high value for managing large networks in
determining the most effective route for a particular demand.
Reachability matrix is the only demand planning feature on the
market that automates the process of reviewing network trafc from
subnetwork to subnetwork. Without the NETSMART 2000 system, this
critical demand planning process is manual, extremely time-
consuming, and carries a high error margin. In comparison, network
reachability decreases the effort required to review trafc for demand
planning activities by up to 50%.
Least-Cost Design and Price-List Management Features
The least-cost design and price-list management features decrease the
total cost of ownership of a new network design and increase the
accuracy and cost-effectiveness of the budgeting process by:
• Simplifying the network design selection process by verifying that
the desired network design represents the lowest possible total cost
of ownership
• Increasing the accuracy of budgetary processes with the ability to
remove obsolete price lists
The network reachability scheduler feature increases scheduling
exibility. Reporting activities can be scheduled at any time during the
day, even after normal business hours or holidays.
* The Network Reachability Matrix feature, which provides data for all
subnetworks and paths, is an optional feature and must be purchased
separately from the latest NETSMART 2000 software release. It is only
available on a server-based deployment of the NETSMART 2000 system.
Standard network reachability reporting only applies to a selected path or
subnetwork.

Custom Prole Improves Organization and Recordkeeping
The Custom Prole feature* allows service providers to organize and
constrain possible line card and interface module selections for use in
network designs. Custom proles can save service providers thousands
of dollars each year by reducing the variety of hardware needed for the
network and consequently streamlining the range of needed spare
parts. The feature reduces the variety of card types and reduces
manpower needed to properly manage inventory. Line cards are
selectable using parameters such as OSMINE compliance, card type,
pricing and SFP types. Custom prole also allows users to designate
card placement in a shelf. Designers can align card deployment with
company standards. The feature also aids in realigning network
designs with deployed networks, resulting in an increase in the
accuracy of equipment management.
In addition to line card ltering and line card placement, it is possible
to adjust cable length in the BoM generated in the NETSMART 2000
reports. The result is accurate cable selection for a site by providing
parts that align with established customer standards.
Core card override, a custom prole v5 enhancement, enhances user
conguration usability and increases accuracy of eld deployments.
This function allows user to align eld deployment with planned
designed (even after the fact). Core cards include lambda access
modules, switch fabrics, PE mappers, dispersion compensation
modules, sync cards, and single channel ampliers
* TheCustom Prole feature is optional and must be purchased separately from
the latest NETSMART 2000 software release. It is only available on a
server-based deployment of the NETSMART 2000 system.
Wavelength Recoloring Speeds Up Demand Routing
The process of identifying new wavelength paths has historically been
performed manually by network engineers. This is particularly
labor-intensive when routing wavelengths through several
subnetworks, increasing the likelihood of error. The menu-driven
wavelength recoloring feature automatically reviews wavelength
paths, saving time and increasing the accuracy with which subnetwork
capacity can be reviewed. The feature eliminates the need to manually
track available wavelengths from subnetwork to subnetwork when
evaluating network capacity and adding demands.
Browneld Support Reduces Error Potential
Browneld support improves accuracy and reduces the potential for
error when designing new subnetwork deployments or adding
demands to an existing deployment. The browneld feature assists in
the process of preplanning and predesigning networks prior to
deployment. A revision of the network design can be locked down,
limiting impact to existing trafc. Browneld support ensures that
networks are deployed to the intended design and conguration.
The feature also:
• Prevents equipment re-selection in revised designs by locking unit
selections and placement of the original network design
• Minimizes impact to the original design for the life of the network
through extensive review of incremental changes
• Provides clear and detailed information about the equipment
needed to support new demands and subnetworks
• Provides exibility by allowing sites, spans, and subnetworks to
revert to greeneld state for either site upgrades, site additions, or
ber modication
• Provides exibility by permitting wavelength number change for
browneld demands
• Aligns degree to ber and amplier feature to synchronize network
design with deployed equipment
• Increases design convenience and usability by the ability to revert a
demand to greeneld and change a bypass site to an ILA or ROADM
site
Browneld support enables new subnetworks and demands to be
tracked in an incremental BoM. The incremental BoM tracks additions
and deletions that result from revised design. Browneld support also
enables phased design approaches. Overall, browneld support
reduces the risk and manual labor associated with new network
implementations and changes.
