Device monitoring
The backend polls optical amplifiers, switches and transmitters. Readings and repeated connection failures feed the device state shown in the console.
Async-owned product / Async EMS
One console for optical network monitoring and device operations.
Async EMS is our element management system for cable TV and hybrid fiber-coaxial networks. We built a web console that brings device readings, alerts and network topology into the same operational view.

The work behind Async EMS.
Optical networks contain equipment spread across different sites. Operators need to identify an unreachable device, inspect its readings and understand where it sits in the network before deciding what to do next.
We built EMS around equipment that communicates through SNMP, a network-management protocol. The product pairs scheduled device polling with site and topology views. Configuration changes require a different level of access from viewing network state.
PRODUCT SCOPE
What we built.
Alerts and investigation
Threshold checks surface optical-power and temperature alerts. Operators can move between the overview, sites and device views to investigate an event.
Controlled configuration
Administrative actions can write supported settings back to equipment. An audit trail records the change so device operations can be reviewed.
Web and mobile views
The product includes an operations wallboard and a mobile companion with views for devices, sites and events. Each surface serves a different way of checking network state.
WORKFLOW
A connected sequence of tasks.
- 01Poll
Read equipment state through SNMP.
- 02Detect
Check readings and reachability.
- 03Investigate
Inspect the affected site and device.
- 04Act
Apply an authorized change with an audit trail.
DESIGN & ENGINEERING
Decisions that shaped the build.
Keep reading and changing separate.
A person checking a site should not automatically gain permission to change equipment settings. Viewer and administrator roles separate these responsibilities.
Keep the network context close to the reading.
Site and topology views connect a device to the wider network. Operators can investigate an alert without reducing the product to a flat list of unrelated measurements.
Support different ways of checking the network.
The wallboard provides an overview while the mobile companion makes device, site and event views available on a phone. Detailed investigation remains available in the desktop console.
