Integrated OS features for geographically distributed switching exchanges
G. Arrigoni, Giuseppe Fantauzzi · 2003
The operation and maintenance features that tend to be more naturally integrated in digital switching exchanges are analyzed, together with the other functions that should be included in operations systems and operation and support systems but not in the exchange proper. The architectural characteristics of the operation and maintenance modules that must be included in digital exchanges are also considered. The impact of intelligent workstations on the whole scenario of TMN (telecommunication management networks) is examined.>
