1 INTRODUCTION
The DT-6061 (Embedded Network Processor) is a network applications computer that applies
customer specific protocol operations (protocol translation and termination) of network
connections that require such a function in a distributed network.
The DT-6061 supports a multitude of applications, and may support combinations of these
applications simultaneously. The elements common to all applications are provided by the DT-
6061 hardware and operating environment. In addition, the DT-6061 has an SNMP agent that is
completely independent of any application.
The basic configuration for the DT-6061 may be as follows:
IP
Network Element
Specific Protocol
Network Element
IP
Network
IP Hosts
IP
DT-6061
In the above figure representing a generic configuration for a DT-6061, the Network Element (NE)
communicates with IP Hosts over an IP Network using the DT-6061 as an intermediary for
protocol conversion / termination. The NE uses its specific communications protocol to talk
through a DT-4000 or some other device(s) that will bridge the NE with an IP infrastructure. The
DT-6061 running one of its custom applications performs the necessary protocol translation or
termination allowing the NE and IP-Hosts to ultimately communicate.
One of the DT-6061 applications, called IP-LTCN, is used in conjunction with specialized
functionality in the DT-4000 or DT-4180 to provide the communications with test heads, do the
protocol translations from BX.25, etc to IP, and perform the other special handling functions
