MINI-LINK BAS 6-16
Technical Description EN/LZB 111 0542 P2B
Note: The HTTP agent port is prepared for the connection to a
Local Craft Tool, not included in the current release.
As the EM, the CP software may be seen as layered in at least three
functional levels (Figure 6-8).
Nevertheless, EM and CP layers are conceptually different, because in
the EM, each layer provides services to the layer that is immediately
above it, whilst in the CP, each layer may be seen either as an
interface or a feature handler.
6.5.1 Interface Handlers
The boxes in Figure 6-8 represent the interfaces towards management
system; these are the ways through which operator can access
information by the CP. The software modules driving the interfaces
are called “agents”. Four agents are available:
• Proprietary agent
this is used to manage the computer and telecommunication
networks.
• HTTP agent
HTTP is the protocol normally used on the Internet. See Note in
Paragraph 6.5.
• BNSI agent
BNSI is the interface towards a higher-level management system
called “Ericsson Network Surveillance” that primarily provides
operators with the alarm situation of the network. It does not
handle configuration information, just alarms at network level.
• SC agent
Interface towards higher level management systems.
6.5.2 Main Applications
The CP software architecture uses a small set of applications as the
core of the software itself. The main applications can be subdivided
into two groups:
• General applications
• Specific applications
The general applications deal with the equipment at a high level.
These applications have not to worry about the specific way a piece of
equipment performs an action, just as an example, the reader may
think of the establishment of a connection.
