Advance Management System Overview 
2.4.2 
AMS Interface Standards Architecture 
The interface standards use with in AMS Server northbound are support of SNMP v1, SNMP v2c, FTP, 
and WEB as an open data interface for communication between other OSS (Operation Support 
Systems), for southbound interface standards use are SNMP v2c and FTP/TFTP. The communication 
between AMS Client and AMS Server use SNMP and it proprietary protocol. 
 
The interface protocol between AMS Server and NE is SNMP v2c. 
 
The AMS is acts as the manager of management activities to perform monitoring and controlling NEs 
within its management domain. 
 
The AMS will synchronize the NEs information and its database automatically in real-time for both 
direction.

Northbound Interface 
Northbound SNMP (v1, v2c) Interfaces – The integration interfaces of the AMS to other NMS 
devices. 
Northbound FTP Interface – The management interfaces for report retrieve. 
Northbound WEB Interface – The WEB base monitoring of Configuration, Fault, and 
Performance management. 
 
Southbound Interface 
Southbound SNMP v2c Interfaces – The management interfaces of AMS Server to the NE 
devices. 
Southbound FTP/TFTP Interfaces – The standard FTP/TFTP interfaces used to load, backup, 
and synchronize the NE devices. 
Southbound Telnet interface – The command line interface (CLI) of the AMS to the NE devices. 
 
2.4.3 
AMS Hardware Development Architecture 
AMS system has ability to provide the end-to-end connecting via out-of-band IP management Ethernet 
interface or in-band with VLAN through gateway to reach GE interface of NE, to perform 
management function either independently or simultaneously.
