TransNav Management System Planning
Introduction
This chapter outlines a recommended procedure to create and manage using the
TransNav management system.
SONET networks can be set up to also contain the TN-Xpert management system,
allowing you to access both the TransNav and TN-Xpert management systems,
Traverse nodes, TE-100 nodes, and TE-206 nodes from a single server. Currently, the
TE-206 nodes must be installed using the TN-Xpert management system and have an
IP address assigned. They can then be discovered on the TransNav management
system. For information on installing TN-Xpert, see the TransNav Xpert Installation
Guide.
