SOLUTION NOTE
Zero Touch Commissioning
SITUATION
Services providers are looking for ways to accelerate service activation, while lowering their
operational costs. An effective way to do this is to simplify the installation and activation of customer
located demarcation gear. In the PC world, the model is reffered to as “plug and play” where the
user doesn’t have to do any additional configuration in order to use a peripheral. In Ensemble OSA™
this is called “Zero Touch Commissioning.”
