9.4 TN-Relay
9.4.1 Overview
Although the TE-2020 DCN is optimally designed to carry TE-2020 management and control messages, it
can also be used to carry management traffic of third party IP management based equipment. The manage-
ment traffic of the 3
rd
party equipment can be exchanged through the TE-2020 DCN between its Ethernet
ports. This feature is called TN-Relay.
TN-Relay provides a cost effective alternative to support remote management connectivity for any IP man-
agement based equipment that is installed remotely and co-located with the TE-2020. It is particularly use-
ful for those remote locations that are hard to subscribe communication links with or that have limited
space.

9.5 DCN Configuration
This section provides several common DCN configurations to show how a Management Unit (NMS, TN-
Xpert server, TN-Sight or TELNET TL1) gains NE IP access.
FTP Allows software upgrade and database backup
functions.
HTTP Allows Web access with browser based GUI
