The first two chapters introduce the basic func- tionality and interface layout of the NMS. The next two chapters explain NMS functionality for understanding alarm monitoring and notifications, and for obtaining reports.

The remaining chapters provide references to look up specific infor- mation. Chapters 5 and 6 provide reference information on services and components. Chapter 7 is the final chapter on the NMS; a refer- ence of alarms with troubleshooting tips.
