Decentralized configuration

Since each Network Element may have different signaling network connectivity and different routes, signaling and application site-specific configuration data is configured at the SOAM. The SOAM servers provide provisioning control over multiple Message Processors (SCCP Relay Points), for the SS7 Signaling Network Interface, and for HLR routing configuration.

The SOAM replicates system configuration, signaling and application site-specific configuration, and real-time data to the MPs. Measurements, Events, Alarms, and Logs from active/standby SOAM, and all MPs in the local Network Element, are merged to the active server of the Primary NOAM cluster.

Table 1 shows the GUI options available when logged into an SOAM.
