Alcatel-Lucent 1850 TSS-5 manual Management and Performance Monitoring, Common Applications

Management and Performance Monitoring

Where required, the 1850 TSS-5 comes with a craft interface terminal (CIT) that manages SONET/SDH operations though a standard RS-232 or LAN port. A full-featured graphical user interface (GUI) may be used or, if preferred, transaction language 1 (TL1). Performance monitoring is also provided and software upgrades can be downloaded by FTP without a truck roll.

Various other functionalities such as Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) and Internet Protocol (IP) tunneling are also supported. For example, Proxy ARP support on the Gateway Network Element (GNE) eliminates the need to create static routes for routing the IP packets from the access network to the embedded network. Alternatively, customers can choose the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), if preferred.
