11.1 Positron OSIRIS/Marconi MAS Interoperability
In Phase 3.0 of the TE-2020, Turin Networks provides both DCN and Management interoperability
between the TE-2020 and the Positron OSIRIS/Marconi MAS OC-3/OC-12 ADM product line. There are
three major elements to interoperability:
1.Integrated Management
2.Interoperable DCN Support
3.OC3/OC12 Ring support on
TE-2020
NOTE: "Marconi MAS" and "Positron OSIRIS" are used interchangeably throughout this docu-
ment as are "Positron OSIRIS-VUE" and "Marconi Overview 1500" since same product line held
both product names during its lifecycle.
11.1.1 OSIRIS Management via TN-Xpert
The TN-Xpert network management system aggregates alarms from all OSIRIS nodes within its network.
It will translate any alarm statuses on the MAS/OSIRIS equipment into color coded node icons on the
users screen (i.e., Red=Critical, Orange=Major, Yellow=Minor).
The OSIRIS-VUE (Overview 1500) craft management application provided by Positron/Marconi will
remain fully available for craft access to OSIRIS nodes. Any nodes will appear as unmanaged nodes on
Overview 1500, however, ring topology will be retained. Refer to Figure 12-1 for an example of TN-Xpert
managing a
TE-2020 in an OSIRIS network.
