Embedded devices are confined to be agents although they have been deployed in network management system for decades. We shed light on this situation by designing and implementing a new full-featured embedded network management system. On one hand, this system can still be an agent; on the other hand, this system provides a friendly GUI and I/O devices such as mouse and keyboard, which allows administrators to conveniently monitor and configure the managed equipment. The new system is developed on ARM with Linux using multithreading method, and it is deployed on ROADM equipment in optical network. SNMP is applied to be the network management protocol.
