Alarm monitoring system for Hutchison Telecom HAM

Abstract

Hutchison Telecom has more then 600 BTSs (Base Transceiver Station) Sites island wide. Each site sends its failure details to its server as Alarm records. Alarms are generated in all BTSs and Alarm records are collected at Servers (BSS Servers) for daily maintenance works. Alarms are displayed on client machines locate in OMC (Operation and Maintenance Center).However there are 5 client machines for Alarm monitoring. These machines are used for dynamic monitoring, software upgrading, site creation and "Daily maintenance Report" generation other than the Alarm monitoring. Also Alarm monitoring is not an easy job, because officers have to move to each client machines and first search site location and then open site Alarm window and search current Alarms. Hutchison does not have a perfect alarm monitoring system. Sometimes the alarm indication message displayed is incorrect. Proper Alarm monitoring system is the solution for the above issue. The main intention of this project is a Real time Alarm monitoring system for GSM sites located all over the island. To understand the proposed system functionality, Use Case diagrams, Activity Diagrams and Use Case Descriptions were designed. Based on these diagrams Sequence Diagrams were designed and then Class Diagram was decided. For Database design ER diagram created and hence relational tables and Normalized to Third Normal Form. Finally Implementation and "Testing carried out for this good software system as a better Alarm Monitoring System for Hutchison Telecom. This system is the best solution for the staff of Hutchison Telecommunication (Pvt.) Ltd. The system is helped to realize most important events relate to operation and maintenance. This system successfully answered the main problems identified in the- previous Alarm monitoring system which 'was not real-time and wrong alarms create.
