Intelligent Policy Engine
An intelligent policy engine is imple ment ed to provide a high level of
automation for day-to-day opera tions, including initial device activa tion
and configuration, configuration updates, proactive maintenance and trou -
bleshooting. Detailed reporting is provided to inform operators of the state
of a given policy — typically sta tistics on successfully executed actions,
aborted actions or on-going retries.
Multiple Device Activation Scenarios
“Zero-touch” activation offers your subscribers the ability to activate new
devices simply and easily. The objec tive of the initial device activation is to
give the device access to your Internet network, configure the device for
the services subscribed and enable the Alcatel-Lucent 5580 HNM to take over
device management.
The Alcatel-Lucent 5580 HNM sup ports three main device activation
scenarios, allowing you to choose those that best suit your needs, with easy
adaptation as your services and processes evolve.

The Alcatel-Lucent
5580 HNM in Action
Devices and services involve various
management operations, including
service provisioning, security, traffic
policing and troubleshooting. These
need to be controlled by operators,
customer support personnel or even by
customers themselves. The Alcatel-
Lucent 5580 HNM is a full-fledged
management system, operated via
graphical user interface. As shown in
Figure 4, it can also serve as a manage -
ment hub, performing operations on
behalf of OSS applications, including
provisioning or traffic policing, or
from customer support or customer
self-care solutions.
