OS Provisioning

OS Provisioning

NMS Prime is a CRM, BSS and OSS platform for ISPs and Telcos.

OS Provisioning is the core package for the entire Provisioning process in NMS PRIME. It will enable you to bring modems of all types and CPEs online. It is technology and vendor agnostic – enables access over all fixed and wireless access domains, like DOCSIS, FTTH, DSL, WiFi.

Pro hint: It is best used in combination with Prime Monitoring to analyse and monitor your devices in real-time.

Works with: Prime Monitoring (device health) · Prime Detect (geo & impairments) · Prime CRM (customer of record) · Prime Billing (contracts & tariffs) · OS VoIP Provisioning (telephony).

  • different, adaptable Contract numbers (if required)

  • Contract start / end date

Create a Customer

 

Disable Internet Access for entire contract

Disable internet access automatically, enable manually

Create a Modem

 

All DOCSIS compliant modems

Will my Cable Modem work with NMSPRIME

 

All FTTH compliant ONU's / Modems

independent of GPON or Active Ethernet

 

 

 

All DSL Modems

 

 

automated configuration of DHCP, TFTP, DNS and TOD service for a DOCSIS compliant provisioning of all DOCSIS 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 3.0 and 3.1 devices

Will my Cable Modem work with NMSPRIME

 

Assign IP's to Modems

  • dynamic IP's

  • dynamic hostnames for monitoring

 

 

Modem geo-positioning system

  • automatic address geocoding (via OSM and google)

  • manually adaptable

Required Module: Prime Detect

 

Real-time analysis and monitoring

See Prime Monitoring for details..

 

 

Force Modem Restart

What happens on modems ? 'Force restart' ?

 

Dynamic Modem IP's allow adding modems without the knowledge of required technical infrastructure (e.g. assigned CMTS), since the Modem will choose any free IP from DHCP server

–> Customer can move modem from one CMTS to another without anything to do or care about

 

 

 

 

 

CPE management

Assign IP's to CPE's / any devices

  • dynamic IP's (default)

  • static IP's

  • private IP's

  • public IP's

  • auto created hostnames for public IP's

  • customized hostnames for public IP's

How to assign a static public IP to a CPE

 

CPE analysis

  • dashboard for quick forecast

  • ping test

  • DHCP log and lease

The network foundation (NetGw / CMTS + IP pool), then a QoS profile, a configuration file, a contract (customer), and the modem (MAC) assigned to that config file — see Provisioning Setup. (A Billing cost center + product is only required to sell / invoice the service commercially, not to bring the device online.)
