The Alcatel-Lucent 5528 WAM is a PC and Solaris-based tool for configuring, maintaining and troubleshooting Alcatel-Lucent 1000/7300 ASAMs. Operators use Netscape Communicator or Internet Explorer browsers to access ASAMs through a web-interface. Ideally suited to small networks, the Alcatel-Lucent 5528 WAM provides a supplemental maintenance and troubleshooting capability for major networks. It increases the number of user sessions available to operators and enables local central office (CO) technicians to use the WAM to turn-up initial hardware, and provide on-site hardware maintenance.
