XMP1 Release 5.5 System Description
SOX Single-User application
Aastra Proprietary Information Page 1-15
Basically, the system is divided up as follows:
• Single-user application - Central management structure
• Multi-user application - Distributed management structure
Independent of the respective application, the management channel (DCN)
is automatically routed, i.e. in case of an E1 connection, the XMP1
hardware automatically ensures that the management information
transmitted in time slot TS0 is always evaluated by the receiving node. In
case of several E1 connections between two nodes, the management
information contained in time slot TS0 of only one E1 connection is used.
In case of an interruption of the channel used to transmit the management
information, the management information included in TS0 of another E1
connection is used automatically. This automatic function saves complex
planning and definitions for management information routing.
1.2.1.1 SOX Single-User application
The SOX single-user application is used in networks with typically one user
responsible for the overall XMP1 network with about 70 to 100 nodes.
The following system options are available:
•SOX-NMS
•SOX-LCT
SOX-NMS
The components of the SOX-NMS - including the operating system,
database and SOX software - are installed on a high-capacity PC designed
for continuous operation.
SOX-LCT
Using the SOX-LCT Local Craft Terminal, changes or requests can be
executed at any time for the node physically connected.
The SOX-NMS operator must decide as to whether modifications made
shall be activated or not, i.e. he must decide whether the configuration
modifications locally entered shall be saved to the database or whether they
shall be rejected.
