6.2 SOX Architecture
The Network Management System ServiceOn XMP1 (SOX) offers the
following options for controlling and managing XMP1 networks.
• Single-user system
• Multi-user system
Both systems will be described in the following sections.
6.2.1 Single-user system
• For networks up to 100 nodes
• Management System SOX, MS Windows XP Pro and SQL Server
2000 Standard on one high-end PC
• Typically one user
• V.24/RS232 or TCP/IP connections to XMP1
Fig. 6.1 shows a typical single-user configuration.
The management connection of the XMP1 network is set up either via
RS232 interface or Ethernet interface. The SOX-LCT is used for local
operation and maintenance.
Sub-network/area
In this configuration, the XMP1 network consists of one sub-network
referred to as area. In the course of the configuration process, all XMP1
nodes are assigned to this area. Within a sub-network (area), a node
number must be assigned only once.
For connecting the network (area) to the SOX-NMS, an Access Point must
be configured. The connection can be set up either via RS232 or TCP/IP.
