Figure 6 Management Interfaces
Telnet
Telnet provides local and remote access to the operating system
shell in the RBS. The command line interface provides a set of
commands handled by a Unix shell-like command interpreter.
IIOP
IIOP (IP based Inter-ORB Protocol) is the protocol used in
Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA). It is the
main protocol used for RBS O&M. The element manager and
the network manager (RANOS) use the protocol.
HTTP
HTTP transfers HTML documents such as online documentation
and Java applets from the file system in the RBS node to
a managing system.
FTP
FTP transfers files to and from the file system in the RBS. This
is primarily used for loading software, configuration data and
other large volume data.
7.4 GUI
The Graphical User Interface (GUI) is the man-machine interface provided to
the user. GUI applications are web based (HTML and Java applets) and run in
a standard web browser. Two general types exist:
• Workflow oriented wizards, for example for node expansion and initial
configurations.
• Panels used for example to set preferences.
