Remote Management via VC-12 n x 64kbit/s Comms Channels
In equipment release 3.4, the OMS 1200 provides for alternative OSI Comms Channel
Transport over Other Licensed Operators (OLO) Networks using a VC-12 traffic path.

OSI NM Comms transported

Operator’s Network
Referring to Figure 3-3, if the Gateway NE and Tail End NE have VC-12 trail
termination traffic interfaces, a selected VC-12 trail could be used to carry
management comms data. Leasing the VC-12 will give transparent transport across
the OLO network.
This may be desirable if an operator does not wish to pay the premium of leasing a full
VC-4, however this will be at the cost of losing a VC-12, which could otherwise be
carrying revenue-earning traffic.
Similarly, if the main network ‘Gateway NE’ and the ‘Island Gateway NE’ each have
VC-12 trail termination traffic interfaces, then again a selected VC-12 trail could be
used to carry management comms data between them across the OLO network.
In these scenario the three Comms NE types are as follows:
•
A main network ‘Gateway NE’ type which will operate as a ‘head-end’
distribution node for VC-12 n x 64kbit/s comms routing to a number of
remote nodes across the OLO network
•
An isolated ‘Tail-end NE’ type which solely operates as a ‘tail-end’ node for
VC-12 n x 64kbit/s comms.
•
An ‘Island Gateway NE’ type which operates as a ‘tail-end’ node for VC-12 n
x 64kbit/s comms, with conversion back to SDH DCC comms for onwards
routing within the island network.
