Maintenance and Operations

This section describes how the ATM Switch is operated, maintained, and managed.

Overview

The ATM Switch is primarily maintained and operated using a dedicated terminal called MAT that is connected to the ATM Switch via RS-232C. Some of the functions may also be performed from an NMS connected via the ATM or Ether network. SNMP, the standard protocol for Internet hardware, is used over UDP/IP/ SNAP/LLC/AAL5 for communications between the NMS and the ATM Switch.

Figure 9-1illustrates how the MAT and the NMS are used to control maintenance operations.
