Introduction to the XMP1 system
This document describes the basic functioning of the XMP1 cross-connect
system including its network management options.
1.1 XMP1
The XMP1 system is an integrated flexible platform providing all customary
interfaces and functions of a transmission system.
The transmission network is controlled, operated, configured and monitored
by means of the Element Manager ServiceOn XMP1 (SOX).
By means of ServiceOn Access (SOA) the transmission network can also
be managed.
XMP1 is a modular, flexible and highly integrated cross-connect system
used in a network element at the 8/64kbit/s level for the PDH section and at
VC-12, VC-3 and VC-4 level for the SDH expansion. The transmission rates
can lie between 8 kbit/s and 34 Mbit/s for PDH and STM-1 optical /electrical
as well as STM-4 optical for SDH. The Ethernet expansion permits a
point-to-point transmission of Ethernet signals between two units equipped
with Ethernet interfaces via the SDH network.
The great variety of interfaces and the modular concept permit the setup of
new networks and a very economical expansion of already existing
networks. Thus, the XMP1 system covers a wide range of applications in
both public and private networks.
Since this system can be configured as terminal, add/drop or cross-connect
multiplexer, it is appropriate for setting up complex communication and data
networks to meet the most different requirements.
