The Fault Management Services (FMS)
The most fundamental functionality in any management system is
fault management.

which may be applied to handling alarms and fault information across
the technologies integrated by Q3ADE 3G. This includes
-

a real-time correlated alarm view of the system. You configure
the maps by drag-drop or automatic configuration mechanisms.
