Ventura
FCS183-AEMS
Advanced Element Management System
This AEMS element manager provides remote monitoring and configuration functionality for the
Ventura series chassis. The AEMS card enables you to monitor and configure all Ventura video transport cards in a chassis using a built in Webbased interface or the industry-standard SNMP protocol.
The Web-based interface provides an updated snapshot of the chassis with the status of each front panel LED, allowing the viewing or configuration of each card. AEMS also lists the alarms for each card or the entire chassis, and offers a highly configurable handling of alarms at the element management level.
The SNMP interface provided by AEMS integrates with existing SNMP management solutions. AEMS sends notifications to the SNMP manager if alarm situations occur that require corrective action.
Applications
• Professional broadcast contribution
• Studio-to-studio media exchange
• Live sports and event contribution
• Managed video services over IP
Key features
• Web browser interface, including chassis display with LED status
• Remote monitoring and configuration of Ventura line cards - reduces operational costs
• Configurable alarm handling including severity, grouping and filtering
• Identifies issues quickly and logs events for future analysis
• SNMP agent for Network Management Systems
• Remote firmware upgrade of Ventura line cards
• Secure communication with AEMS through SSH,
SFTP, HTTPS and SNMPv3. Linux IP tables firewall included to provide additional security.

Features
• Automatic recognition of Ventura line cards; supports full fault and configuration management out-of-box
• User definable alarm priorities with 7 levels (from
Disabled to Critical)
• Date time stamped history and data recording in
Flash memory
• Chassis environment reporting using temperature and fan speed sensor (LED indicators)
• Safe transfer of firmware to Ventura line cards
(starts using new firmware after validation)
• Supports authentication and privacy using SSL
• Powerful Linux based system with 32-bit dual core
ARM processor and 1GB DDR3 RAM
The FCS183-AEMS is unobtrusive in installing or uninstalling and acts automatically as soon as a new card is inserted in one of the slots in the shelf.
AEMS will auto-detect Ventura line cards inserted into the chassis and is both backward and forward compatible in supporting different Ventura line cards with different firmware versions.
The FCS183-AEMS can be used in the VS101-2H and
VS103 chassis. The AEMS card will automatically detect the chassis type and display the graphical user interface accordingly.

FCS183-AEMS as SNMP agent
A single FCS183-AEMS acts as the proxy agent for up to 9
Ventura line cards, and monitors the chassis status including power supplies, temperature and fan status. AEMS can be configured to send alarm notifications as traps or informs to up to five notification destinations. AEMS supports SNMP v2c and v3.
Element management
The Ventura AEMS shelf element manager, FCS183-AEMS, provides a comprehensive set of status, control and alarm variables through a Web interface. The FCS183-AEMS is a powerful Linux based embedded management system that also supports SNMP and XML.
The Ventura line cards firmware can be remotely upgraded from the AEMS card. FCS183-AEMS supports communications to the cards via Ethernet, providing fast upgrades for the newer
Ventura line cards (VS902 / VS906 / VS909).
Card communication via I2C bus is available for backwards compatibility with existing cards. AEMS will transparently select between Ethernet or I2C communications, depending on availability. FCS183-AEMS is capable of upgrading all cards in the chassis simultaneously.
