INSTALLING & OPERATING the OSA 54xx
Family; Using Ensemble SyncDirector
4.5 days technical training
The OSA 54XX Series is a family of compact and cost-effective
synchronization distribution and assurance devices that bring the power of
Syncjack™ to any network. Following a toolbox approach, the family
members of the OSA 54XX Series can be utilized in a variety of network
synchronization applications.
OSA-ACCESS: 5410/11/20/21; OSA-CORE: 5430/40 OSA-MINI: 5405/5401;
Magnetic Cesium Clock: OSA3230B
Ensemble Sync Director is an extension of Ensemble Controller Software for
timing delivery management and sync assurance. Ensemble Controller is an
advanced platform for reliable, secure and user-friendly management and
surveillance of ADVA FSP and OSA networks, with full FCAPS support.
Objective and Level
This training course introduces the full OSA 54xx family and magnetic Cesium clock OSA3202B with basic features,
using CLI and GUI for provisioning. Students will be introduced to basic synchronization concepts including PTP, NTP
and SyncE. Throughout the training we introduce some features of Ensemble SyncDirector - a useful tool which helps
to understand OSA system design and protection (5430/40).
The last day focuses on using Ensemble Sync Director for Management and Monitoring of OSA services.
Note: For installation and administration of Ensemble Controller Software, we offer a separate full Ensemble Controller
training.
Level: Introductory
Please, contact us for an extended class on synchronization theory.
Audience and Benefits
The class is aimed for beginners to Synchronization as well as experienced users who need to get familiar with
the OSA 54xx devices, the OSA3230B and Ensemble Sync Director.
