A telecommunications network( ) having a distributive network management system( ) for remotely managing the plurality of network elements( ) has a management computer, or work station( ) with a management program communicating through the Internet by via managed object commands. An element management server( ) communicates through the computer Internet with the plurality of network elements( ) via a simplified network management protocol, or SNMP, to communicate management information concerning the plurality of network elements( ). The managed objects are responsive to managed object commands from the management computer( ) to provide the management information to the management program and to take actions as directed. Commands are composed in EMAPI notation to render them independent of any protocol used between the element manager server( ) and the managed network elements( ). Communications between the management computer( ) and the element manager server( ) utilizes CORBA.
