The ErgonomiX:DiNoS Element Manager Edition
is a solution for organisations operating in non-homogeneous networks needing an
integrative Element Management platform with Number Management capabilities. The main focus of the ErgonomiX:DiNoS Element Manager is the provisioning of a cost effective solution for the integration of multiple, different Network Elements!
With ErgonomiX:DiNoS Element Manager, an universal routing provisioning component is provided. Several
South-bound interfaces like CMIP, X.25, RPC, Batch, MML, etc. are available for all types of routing equipment like STPs, switches or IN-Systems regardless of their individual manufacturer.
Because of the well-defined internal and external interfaces of ErgonomiX:DiNoS Element Manager, customisation by the integration of customer's specific interface software can easily be accomplished. As a result of the software's flexibility, consistent data provisioning to all network elements
is ensured!

Number Management -
ErgonomiX:DiNoS™ Element Manager
Numbering resources are expensive. Customers usually have particular
relationships to their numbers. In some countries, licensed operators have to
buy number blocks at high prices. In most countries the operator has to monitor
numbering resources. Usually, this includes a liability to report to the
regulation authority on a regular base.

ErgonomiX:DiNoS is designed to support any kind of Numbering Plan! Consequently, the Numbering Plan Management is compliant to the National Numbering Plan in the country where the system will be used (and also includes leeway for special numbers which due to the natinal numbering "history" are a contradiction to the current national numbering plan). Additionally, several rules of the National Numbering Plan are also included in the data validation procedures.
All service codes, local area codes, mobile codes and number blocks are stored and administered within the ErgonomiX:DiNoS database. The DiNoS system also provides administration and storage of all connected network elements for direct provisioning and all associated network elements (e. g. Home Location Register (HLR) are associated elements for Mobil Number Portability).

Automatic direct
provisioning to connected network elements
All incoming orders are provisioned to all network elements in parallel
directly.
Direct Provisioning is distinguished between Asynchronous Direct
Provisioning and Synchronous Direct Provisioning. |
|
Asynchronous or synchronous direct provisioning
Provisioning via the GUI OM is always Asynchronous Direct Provisioning.
Both, aynchronous and synchronous direct provisioning are supported. |
|
Mated pair
handling of connected network elements
A network element group consists two network elements. The combined behaviour of
both network elements within this network element group determines this NE group result. |
|
Scheduled provisioning
for connected network element pairs
If provisioning to one network element in a pair configuration is not possible, because it is
offline, all orders for this network element are stored as
Provisioning Orders. These
orders are provisioned later with Scheduled Provisioning, when the
network element is online again. |
|
Error tolerance
The Provisioning Adapter provides an error toleration configuration for tolerable
responses from the Network Elelement |
