Abstract—Element Management System (EMS) is a system
to manage network element (NE) for Ethernet Passive Optical
Network (EPON). This allows the user to manage all the
features of each network element (NE) individually. Network
element (NE) exposes one or more management interfaces
that the EMS uses to communicate with and to manage them.
EMS has been design to fulfill FCAPS criteria which consist
of fault management, configuration management, accounting
management, performance management and security
management. EPON is an emerging access network
technology that provides a low-cost method of deploying
optical access lines between a carrier’s central office and a
customer site. EPON build on the International
Telecommunications Union (ITU) standard G.983 for
asynchronous transfer mode PON (APON) and seek to bring
to life the dream of a full-services access network (FSAN)
that delivers converged data, video, and voice over a single
optical access system.

1. INTRODUCTION
This paper contains information on the features,
functions and description that would available in each
module developed in EMS. EMS manages one or more
of a specific type of network elements (NEs). An EMS
allows the user to manage all the features of each NE
individually, but not the communication between NEs -
this is done by the network management system (NMS).
NEs expose one or more management interfaces that the
EMS uses to communicate with and to manage them.
These management interfaces use a variety of protocols
including SNMP, TL1, CLI, XML and CORBA.
EMS web based application will be reside in
windows based environment which will fulfill the
following basic requirement for:
• Real time monitoring for EPON
equipment(s)
• Controlling EPON equipment(s) that will
be depend on the equipment features
• Setting and configuring EPON
equipment(s)
• Management of the EPON system
• Store all the system and monitoring
information in the database.
• Comply FCAPS basic requirement for
Fault or Alarm, Configuration,
Accounting, Performance and Security
This paper is divided into several sections. Section 1
briefly introduces the background of EMS. Section 2
describes the EMS design for EPON. It is followed by
requirements in designing EMS in Section 3. Section 4
wraps the paper. This paper focused on preliminary
study and system design of Element Management
System (EMS) for EPON.
