1.2 Network Management System
The XMP1 system can be configured, controlled and monitored by two
network management systems:
• ServiceOn XMP1 (SOX)
• ServiceOn Access (SOA)
Each NMS provides a local terminal for operation and maintenance.
1.2.1 ServiceOn XMP1 Element Manager
The Management System ServiceOn XMP1 – Element Manager, referred
to as SOX in this document, is used to configure, control and monitor XMP1
networks.
SOX is a PC-based system operated under Windows and used to manage
pure XMP1 networks or to separately manage XMP1 systems in
heterogeneous network applications where further systems are used
besides XMP1.
The SOX software is available in two different versions:
• SOX-LCT – as local maintenance and operator terminal for on-site use
• SOX-NMS – for the network-wide configuration, control and monitoring
of XMP1 networks
Both versions require a dongle used for operation. Thus, unauthorized
access to the XMP1 network is avoided.
All configurations and SW downloads can be performed by the central
SOX-NMS.
The initial configuration must be performed using one of the two SOX
systems and must be stored in the node. Configurations locally made by
means of the SOX-LCT are taken over to the SOX-NMS by reading out the
node data.
Both SOX versions are connected via the Central Unit of the XMP1 node.
The interface that can be used for this purpose is either V.24 (RS232) or
TCP/IP via Ethernet LAN.
The Ethernet interface (TCP/IP) is made available by the Ethernet adapter
or - when using SDH modules - by the CU-E sub-module.
The management system architecture for SOX depends on the network
size and application. It can be flexibly structured and adapted to the
customer’s requirements. Regional, functional and organizatorial aspects
can be taken into consideration in the conceptional design.
