6.2.2 Networking
A Web LCT server can access the NEs in a network in two modes: near end mode
and gateway mode.
I. Near End Mode
In this mode, the Web LCT server is connected to the NM interface of the target NE
directly or through a data communication network (DCN) and performs management.

Note:
The Web LCT server can access the management serial port of the NE to perform NE
management through a serial port cable.
The OptiX RTN 600 also supports one upper NE managing a lower NE. The upper NE
acts as a hub and a part of the DCN network. This is also a type of near end mode.
