Introduction
Valet and NetworkValet EMS Software
Valet and NetworkValet EMS Software
Valet™ and NetworkValet™ EMS are enhanced element management systems with simple graphical
user interfaces. Valet is ideal for technicians deploying Access Navigators in carrier networks, while
the full-featured NetworkValet EMS with alarms and performance monitoring is intended for Network
Operations Centers (NOCs).
Valet and NetworkValet provide easy management of Carrier Access products including the Access
Navigator and Adit 600. Valet and NetworkValet are cross-platform Java applications that run on either
Microsoft Windows and Solaris based computer systems. Java Runtime Engine (JRE) software for
Windows or Solaris is included with the Valet and NetworkValet installation programs.
Valet and NetworkValet send commands over the carrier’s IP network to communicate with the SNMP
agent in the Access Navigator. The Access Navigator includes a standard 10Base-T Ethernet port for
connection to the hub or network interface, or laptop computer. The Access Navigator must have
FLASH software version 1.7 or higher to support IP DS0 management of remote Adit 600 terminals.
