The present invention relates to a control system of a network element (18) capable of handling transmission signals of an optical transport network (16) (OTN) and transmission signals of a synchronous digital transport network (16) (SDH), said network element (18) comprising a first subsystem (28) for handling transmission signals of said optical transport network (16), a second subsystem (30) for handling transmission signals of said synchronous digital transport network (16) and a number of dedicated interconnections (40) between said two subsystems (28, 30), wherein said control system comprises a management information base comprising managed objects (54) related to said first subsystem (28), managed objects (52) related to said second subsystem (30) and a further managed object (56) (interconnection object) related to said number of interconnections (40). The invention further relates to a network element comprising said control system and a method for managing said network element.
A control system of a network element capable of handling transmission signals of an optical transport network and transmission signals of a synchronous digital transport network, said network element comprising a first subsystem for handling transmission signals of said optical transport network, a second subsystem for handling transmission signals of said synchronous digital transport network and a number of dedicated interconnections between said two subsystems, wherein said control system comprises a management information base comprising managed objects related to said first subsystem, managed objects related to said second subsystem and a further managed object related to said number of interconnections.
A method for managing a network element which is capable of handling transmission signals of an optical transport network, transmission signals of a synchronous digital transport network and a number of dedicated interconnections between both networks, comprising the following steps:
A network element in a transmission network, comprising a first subsystem for handling transmission signals of an optical transport network, a second subsystem for handling transmission signals of a synchronous digital transport network, a number of dedicated interconnections between both subsystems and a control system for managing said subsystems and said interconnections, wherein said control system comprises a management information base with a managed object related to said number of interconnections for allocating and releasing any of the interconnections upon request of a network management system.
