SOX Server functions
The SOX Server sets up a connection to the XMP1 network and sends out
messages to the network elements for the SOX Clients.
Incoming messages from network elements are passed on by the
SOX Server to all SOX Clients.
The SOX Server receives alarms, stores them in the Database and advises
the SOX Clients accordingly.
The SOX Server both executes alarm reactions and polls performance
data.
Alarms stored in the Database are deleted or acknowledged by the
SOX Server upon request and on behalf of a SOX Client.
The SOX Server holds the alarm status (red, green,…) of individual network
elements, sub-addresses and functional units.
Information from a SOX Client regarding changes in the Database will be
passed on by the SOX Server to all other SOX Clients connected.
SOX Clients can request exclusive access to the SOX Server. Only one
SOX Client can have exclusive access at a time.
The SOX Server checks at regular intervals whether the connection to the
SOX Clients is still existing.
The SOX Server informs the SOX Client on its software version and the
