The system‘s management capabilities are designed around the Telecommunications Management Network (TMN) 
model for management - focusing on providing superior quality Network Element (NE) and element management 
system (Web Element Manager) functions. The system provides element management applications that can easily be 
integrated, using standards-based protocols (CORBA and SNMPv1), into higher-level management systems - giving 
wireless operators the ability to integrate the system into their overall network, service, and business management 
systems. 
Overview information about each of these methods follows. For detailed information, please see the System 
Administration and Configuration Reference, the Web Element Manager Getting Started Guide, or the Web Element 
Manager‘s robust Help system.
