ServiceOn XMP1 (SOX)
Nowadays network management plays an important role with regard to the
operating costs of a system.
To meet today’s requirements, Aastra offers with its ServiceOn XMP1 (SOX)
a high-performance Network Management System for the XMP1
Cross-Connect Multiplexer.
Basically, the system is divided up as follows:
• Single-user application - Central management structure
• Multi-user application - Distributed management structure
6.1 ServiceOn XMP1 Element Manager (SOX)
The ServiceOn XMP1 software is available in two different versions:
1. SOX - LCT, as "Local Service PC" for on-site use on the XMP1 network
element as substitute for the MSP equipment application.
2. SOX NMS, for configuration, control and monitoring of an XMP1
network.
The use of a dongle avoids unauthorized access to the network via the
software. This dongle must be plugged onto one of the USB ports of the PC.
Note: In the Multi-User version the dongle will be used only at the
SOX Server PC.
The scope of functions of both versions is described below.
6.1.1 Local Craft Terminal SOX - LCT
