The DSC Platforms can be maintained and configured using the following interfaces:
The DSC Platforms are integrated with an Element Management System (EMS) for a seamless and unified element management user experience. For more information, refer to DSC-SP2000 Interoperability Matrix.
For information about registering the DSC Platforms with EMS, refer to Register a DSC Node.
You can enable EMS access on the DSC Platforms using the following methods:
executing the initial configuration procedure. For more information about this procedure, refer to the following references for the supported DSC Platforms.

using the Web UI (refer to Enabling EMS Access Using the Web UI)
DSC Platforms can be accessed through the DSC Manager in EMS (refer to DSC Manager in the Insight EMS documentation).
The DSC Platforms support a Web-based user interface (referred to in this library as Web UI).
The DSC Platforms feature set has been tested using the following web browsers:
Microsoft Internet Explorer is the supported web browser for the SS7 Database Application (SDA) on DSC 8000. You cannot access the SDA System Manager GUI using an unsupported web browser.
To access the Web UI, refer to the following:
For a detailed description of the Web UI, manipulating this UI and mapping of the DSC applications` hierarchies, refer to the appropriate chapters in the Web UI and Menu UI Guide.
The DSC 8000 implements a text-based user interface (referred to in this library as Menu UI) for the following functions.
The DSC SWe (on KVM) implements the Menu UI for the following functions.
The DSC SWe (on VMware) implements the Menu UI for the following functions.
The DSC SWe (on OpenStack) implements the Menu UI for the following functions.
The DSC SWe (on MA-RMS) implements the Menu UI for the following functions.
For instructions about accessing the Menu UI, refer to Main Menu Access.
The DSC Platforms are equipped with a Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent that can connect with up to ten SNMP managers, or network management systems.
SNMP is part of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol suite. SNMP is an application layer protocol that defines how management information between network devices is exchanged. SNMP provides a means to monitor and control network devices.
For detailed information about SNMP and about accessing this protocol, refer to Configuring SNMP.
The DSC Platforms support a customized Linux-based operating system and TL1 command capabilities. The TL1 commands are used to manage software application elements and parameters for this product. The TL1 command prompt is accessible through an SSH tunnel in combination with a Telnet session connected to these platforms using the appropriate IP interfaces (refer to Establishing and Terminating a TL1 Command Session).
Using the Custom Application Mode you can create a redirect button to access any Web-enabled application. For accessing the Web UI, refer to Web-based User Interface on this page. For the procedure to create a redirect button, refer to Accessing Custom Application Mode Configuration.
