NMS Interface (via ATM)

The CPU can exchange data with the NMS via ATM lines. To realize this function GWPAD assembles ATM cells into data and disassembles data into ATM cells. The CPU monitors errors in the hardware and sends to the NMS error information. Figure 9-8shows how data is transferred from the NMS to CPU.
