(A solution for Cable Records management using Geo Enabled Surfing on Customer Access Network (gSCAN))

An initiative of BSNL, Kerala Circle

Digital Cable Records Management System

Why DCRMS?
1.

4.
5.
6.

To Reduce Access Network Fault Rectification Time.

To enable Focussed/Location based Marketing.
Make Spare Pair Availability information on Finger Tip.
To Check the feasibility of new connections at Junction Points.
To Know the Customer Location and Link from MDF to Customer Premises.
Preparation of Cable Diagram with Google Map

How it is different from Conventional CRMS Systems?

1. Integrated with CDR data to fetch maximum information on Cable Terminations.
2. Geo Enabled Interfaces will enable the Geographical Area View during data entry.
3. Multi-Tier architecture for Data Entry in a Phased Manner.

Feasibility Check
Using this interface, feasibility can be checked if any of the following is
known.
1. DP Number/DP Name
2. Location
3. Sub Locality
4. Nearest Telephone Number of Applicant
System will give the feasibility report from MDF to DP.
If required, the pair can be marked as a reserved pair.

Action Plan
1.

The rollout date needs to be decided and to be inputted by the concerned SSA
for each set of exchange.

2.

The action plan and rollout progress will be coordinated centrally by Circle
office (OP Section/ L2 DCRMS L2 Team)

3.

For any queries / support, field unit may contact only through
dcrmsL3krl@bsnl.co.in (IT Cell-L3 Team)

4.

Field units may ensure correctness of data extracted from CDR (Pillar / DP /
Locality / TAGs / Verticals) before operating DCRMS.

5.

Field units may ensure the synchronization of termination data in both CDR
and DCRMS simultaneously, whenever it occurs.
