25、Licensed by Information Handling ServicesW 3404583 O067387 885 Page 9 ETR 037:1992 Introduction This ETSI Technical Report (ETR) presents the general architectural requirements for a Telecommunications Management Network (TMN) to support the management requirements of administrations to plan, provis

26、ion, install, maintain, operate and administer telecommunications networks and services. Within the context of the TMN, management refers to a set of capabilities to allow for the exchange and processing of management information to assist administrations in conducting their businesses efficiently.

27、IS0 systems management services and protocols represent a subset of the management capabilities that can be provided by the TMN and that may be required by an administration. The term administrations used in this document includes Registered Private Operating Agencies (RPOAs), public and private (cu

28、stomer and third party) administrations and/or other organisations that operate or use a TMN. A TMN provides management functions for telecommunications networks and services and offers communications between itself and the telecommunications networks and services. In this context a telecommunicatio

29、ns network is assumed to consist of both digital and analogue telecommunications equipment and associated support equipment. A telecommunications service in this context consists of a range of capabilities provided to customers. The basic concept behind a TMN is to provide an organised architecture

30、to achieve the interconnection between various types of Operations Systems (OSs) and/or telecommunications equipment for the exchange of management information using an agreed architecture with standardised protocols and interfaces. In defining the concept it is recognised that many administrations

31、have a large infrastructure of OSs, networks and telecommunications equipment already in place, and which must be accommodated within the architecture. It is also recognised that provision must be made for access to and display of management information contained within the TMN. Within the architect

32、ure there is no presumption that the management information user will necessarily be a human or that the mechanism by which the management information will be displayed is necessarily a workstation. The external interface could also be to other interfaces such as an alarm display or bell, and the ul

33、timate user of the management information could be an expert system. This ETR will provide both administrations and manufacturers with a set of standards to use when developing equipment, and when designing infrastructure for the management of telecommunications networks and services. Relationships

34、of a TMN to a telecommunications network: - a TMN can vary in size from a very simple connection between an OS and a single piece of telecommunications equipment to a complex network interconnecting many different types of 0% and telecommunications equipment; - a TMN may provide management functions

35、 and offer communications both between the 0% as such, and between OSs and the various parts of the telecommunications network. A telecommunications network consists of many types of analogue and digital telecommunications equipment and associated support equipment, such as transmission systems, swi

36、tching systems, multiplexers, signalling terminals, front-end processors, mainframes, cluster controllers, f ile servers, etc. When managed, such equipment is generically referred to as Network Elements (NEs); Previous page is blank COPYRIGHT European Telecommunications Standards InstituteLicensed b

37、y Information Handling Servicesm 3404583 ClClhi388 i11 m Page 10 ETR 037:1992 - figure 1 shows the general relationship between a TMN and a telecommunications network which it manages. A TMN is conceptually a separate network that interfaces a telecommunications network at several different points t

38、o sendheceive information to/from it and to control its operations. A TMN may use parts of the telecommunications network to provide its communications. This will be a requirement for the management by the TMN of the TMN network. 1 Scope This ETR identifies functionality, as function blocks, in so f

39、ar as they potentially delineate the interfaces, which are the subject of standardisation. Functional components are introduced to aid the understanding of how function blocks support the interfaces. These functional components are informally defined and are not subject to standardisation. 1.1 Field

40、 of application The following are examples of the networks, telecommunications services and major types of equipment that may be managed by the TMN: public and private networks, including ISDNs, mobile networks, private voice networks, VPNs and INS; TMN itself; transmission terminals (multiplexers,

41、cross connects, channel translation equipment, Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH), etc.); digital and analogue transmission systems (cable, fibre, radio, satellite, etc.); restoration systems; operations systems and their peripherals; mainframes, front-end processors, cluster controllers, file serv

42、ers, etc.; digital and analogue exchanges; area networks (WAN, MAN, LAN); circuit and packet switched networks; signalling terminals and systems including signal transfer points (STPI and real time data bases; bearer services and teleservices; PBXs, PBX accesses and user (customer) terminals; ISDN u

43、ser terminals in accordance with relevant maintenance procedures in M.36 and 1.602 for public networks; software provided by or associated with telecommunications services, e.g. switching software, directories, message databases, etc.; software applications running within mainframes, etc. (including

44、 applications supporting TMN); associated support systems (test modules, power systems, air conditioning units, building alarms systems, etc.).

45、a TMN may be used to manage distributed entities and services offered by grouping of the items in the above list. All the equipment, applications software and networks or any grouping of equipment, applications software and networks described above, as well as any services derivable from any combina

46、tion of the above examples, will from now on be referred to as belonging to the telecommunications environment.

48、 means for telecommunications management. By introducing the concept of generic network models for management, it is possible to perform general management of diverse equipment using generic communications interfaces. The principle of keeping the TMN logically distinct from the networks and services

49、 being managed introduces the prospect of distributing the TMN functionality for centralised or de-centralised management implementations. This means that from a number of management nodes operators can perform management of a wide range of distributed equipment, networks and services. Security and distributed data integrity are recognised as fundamental requirements for the definition of a generic architecture. A TMN may allow access and control from sources considered outside the TMN (e.g. inter-TMN co-operation and network user access). Security mechanisms may be needed at various levels (
