l Microducts
l Floor plans l Dynamic labels showing routing data,
e.g. from CPE to OLT
l Bill of material
l Support for post-build customer connection, e.g. adding ONTs with splices and patches reserved
AND Unique Selling Propositions
USPs Nov. 2014 Data routing
AND routes data through complete network. l Prevents redundancy & manual entries
Data doesn’t have to be entered and stored in several places
l Dynamic labelling
l Signal tracing l Ownership information
l TV channel plan and CMTS data for RF signals
AND Unique Selling Propositions
USPs Nov. 2014 Dynamic labels
Dynamic labels automatically provide essential routing data for service staff and network technicians.
l Changes in network documentation result in immediate label update l No need to manually enter info removing possible typos as well as
reducing manpower costs
l Labels are user-customisable (in LibEdit) l Usage examples: − At splice panel show origin and destination of fibre − At ONT show technical path to and including OLT port
AND Unique Selling Propositions
USPs Nov. 2014 Microducts
AND manages microducts for ISP, OSP, and in-building l Defined in libraries − Package sizes − Colour schemes
l Native microduct planning − Trenches, pole mounted, risers, etc. − Supports dual direction & swapping of sub-ducts − Loop back − Automatic connection single and multiple sub-ducts to buildings − Automatic address labelling
l Simulation of fibre insertion
AND Unique Selling Propositions
USPs Nov. 2014 Design automation through cloning
AND allows you to create complex objects, such as MDUs, cabinets, OLT racks, etc. that can be reused as templates.
l Cloning technique allows rapid design l Each clone is unique identity
l Engineering, dynamic labels, bill of material, etc., all apply l Adapt clone as necessary
AND Unique Selling Propositions
USPs Nov. 2014 Querying technical path for ONT
It’s now possible using NISservice option to query the technical path in AND for status of network build for given address from an external system, e.g. Comarch.
Technical path describes path from a given ONT to OLT listing components and, where applicable, ports used.
l Each element has a status
l ONT and OLT have customer- definable service states
l To get technical path, a stored procedure is called using Address ID as key

- Alarm generated if problem reported − CPE-based monitoring systems
- CPE colour coded to show status - Component-associated alarm generated
if corresponding CPE outage threshold exceeded
l Field staff and NOC have real time information

AND Unique Selling Propositions
USPs Nov. 2014 AND DocBox
Permits, instructions, test reports, photos, etc. are typical documents needed when out on the network. With DocBox option it’s no longer necessary to carry paper documents around any more
l Enables user to assign wide range of documents to AND objects such as cabinets, amplifiers, cables, etc.
l Documents stored in database, i.e. not embedded in documentation
