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.
