3. Collection of Management Information from network nodes
Some range of techniques has been evaluated that has ensure that the management
information could be collected from the network nodes. The network nodes are assign to the
endpoint or the redistribution point. The node is completely depended on the particular
network and to the layer of protocol8. When evaluated it has been found that Fault
Management system manage the network from the information of telecommunication system
that respond to events, logs, accuracy, errors, speed, accuracy, issues, device traffic and
performance information9. The procedure followed to collect the information include
Network device monitoring, Network device discovery, Intelligent notifications and Network
performance analysis10.
4. QoS agreements
The QoS is the total characteristic in the Telecommunication service has to ability to
bear to satiate its state and the end user need is implied. The end to end service of QoS is seen
by ICU through a particular telecommunication network11.
The function that are used in International Standard of QoS include Delay Counter,
Level meter and devices that are similar.

6. Reliability and Survivability of Network analysis
Planning for reliability in context of telecommunication usually measured based on
the attributes of availability and serviceability. This can be considered while developing,
designing, maintaining and using the network of telecommunications13. The reliability can be
measured by determining all the processes and components, by measuring the performance
consistency.
Survivability for reliability in context of telecommunication usually refers to the
network ability that finds the challenges and fault in the network and ensures to recover the
network to effectively maintain the reliability14. The figure below illustrate the overview of
the network recovery methods in Pre- fault Protection Scheme and Post-fault Restoration
Scheme15.
7. Organizational policies and procedures related to Network Management
system
The organization should consider the security measures granting access to network.
Each department of the organization that develop, maintain or uses the information systems
need to develop and maintain the security infrastructure of the internal information16. The

the organization18. Individual department has the responsibility to review and evaluate the
policies effectiveness and to accompany the procedures. Network security policies has been
develop by the organization to evaluate the policies and provide relevant feedback.
8. Evaluating administrative Network Management System
Service Support: They need to mainly focus on certain aspects including help desk,
troubleshooting, supporting with new application, everything over the network.
Service Delivery: As application flows across the network, the service level
agreements and objectives are being used in delivering the end users.
Security Management: It ensures unintended and unauthorised access should not be
grated to end users. Mitigating the external threats with firewalls to prevent the access.
Infrastructure Management: They are responsible for physical configuration and
installation of network devices for the organization.
Application Management: It ensures the right configuration of the application and
implement the design based on the environment and provide end-to-end services and end
users delivery.

that consist of three parts. The framework that the business process include are Strategy,
Infrastructure and Product, Operations, Enterprise Management. The domain that
interconnect the points between the networks and the management functionalities are fault,
performance, configuration, accounting and security.
11 a. Analysis for Service Levels
The reason for implementation and obtaining the service levels include:
 By applying all the service interruptions, a specific response time is obtained
 A written agreements need to be obtained with regard to the methods that is used in
fixing the required interruptions.
 Evaluating the costs and the requirement of the resources that are agreed and planed
upon
 Providing a better service of performance for the liability of the carrier
 The contractual agreements of the Service Level are being made between the client
and the service provider
 The Service specific level is define by SLA’s as the client has an expectation from the
service provider to receive them
11 b Analysis of Linear and Exponential Trend

Trends on real and stimulated data has been conducted by plotting the data in time series and
using the variable range of data. A formula being included for the Linear trend model:
Yt = β0 + β1 + et
Notation:
β0 - is the constant
β1 – one period to another period average change
t – time unit value
et – term error
Exponential Trend Analysis:
Some data are analyse based on the future which applied the timeline in the linear
fashion that analyse the relation between the data. The formula for analysing Exponential
trend is:

network. The security and disaster management determine in order to remove the threats,
reduce and manage them through an appropriate method.
12 a Analysis of Billing Process Flow
For generating a billing process for telecommunication network it is necessary to
process a call for the data files. Check through the customer record and match the data with
requirements, prices and standards for a particular bill. Just after determining the bill of the
customer, it needs to reconciled and check through the invoices which has been provided to
the third parties network. Finally the data files and the invoice will be generated and deliver
to the customer with related information into the accounting system.

connectivity or change of port status. Where the fault being detected the management
platform notify it to the administrator through an alarm or alert. The notification is viewed
through the GUI of fault management systems.
A range of errors were involved in the automated fault management system which
could be resolve within the network that ensure the statistical range. It access and collect the
performance information that could determine the effectiveness of the component through
Automated Fault Management.

18. Impact of Telecommunication in the workplace and industry
With the adoption of telecommunication systems, employee can easily interact from
any locations20. However, they are not able to have a one-on-one communication. The
meetings that are held are mostly through video conferencing. This meetings are most
oriented to the project and business not for socialization. Thus, it affects the business
performance. The next impact is on the setting up and acquiring the telecommunication
equipment and software. It require a huge budget to manage it. The industry need to train the

employee regarding the software and equipment which they need to use as a communication
tool. Though telecommunication system may bring flexibility in the workplace and industry
but it may even lead to increase in costs.
19. Disaster Recovery Plan
In the Disaster Recovery Plan the organization need to protect their ICT system
during the time of emergency and disaster21. This have a negative impact on the system. The
disaster recovery plan include the disaster that can be natural, man-made and environmental
disaster that may pose risk to the Network Management system. It is necessary to ensure the
disaster recovery plan for the organization protection during the event of disaster. In the
disaster recovery plan it is important to identify the potential disaster that can analyse
environmentally. The organization might need to follow the risk assessment procedure that
may help in determining the potential impact and develop some strategies and action to
reduce the risk when the event of disaster occur.
Conclusion
From the above study it could be concluded that the TMN provides supports for
administration, operation and maintenance of managing the network. The system provide
standardization in the process, functions, messages and objects to ensures the necessary
functionality and support the usage of management application when with supply. Thus,
through standardization the services could be improve for the efficiency of
telecommunication operators.
