Leland R. Beaumont, K. W. Sussman · Bell System Technical Journal · 1978
This paper describes the maintenance and administration plans which have been developed for the Transaction Network to provide a reliable and maintainable new service while fitting into the existing operating telephone company environment. The polled access network is used as an example to show how high reliability is obtained and how the procedures developed to manage the daily activities are used.
