(GUI). Through these functions, ITM SNC is able to support TL1/X.25
communication multiplexing or concentration, to provide network security, and to
record all database changes. ITM SNC also provides a cut-through capability,
allowing the ITM SNC user to access an NE through its native (TL1) command
set.
ITM SNC operates as an enhanced graphical tool and as a general configuration
management aid. It provides NE, port, cross-connection, and path provisioning,
as well as flowthrough from provisioning OSs to NEs. ITM SNC also provides fault
management through subnetwork alarm and event pre-processing prior to
sending fault information to a network surveillance system such as Telcordia’s
Network Monitoring and Analysis-Facility (NMA-F).
IAO LAN Interface 6
DDM-2000 OC-3 R13.0 and OC-12 R7.0 support an IntrAOffice LAN (IAO LAN)
interface for operations data communications. The IAO LAN is necessary to
support the following ITM SNC R5.0 features:
â– ITM SNC as the TL1-GNE for DDM-2000
â– ITM SNC software download to DDM-2000.
*
Because the IAO LAN is effectively an extension of the SONET DCC, the IAO
LAN may also be used to join multiple, otherwise separate subnetworks. All NE-
to-NE OI features that are supported by DDM-2000 OC-3 R13.0 and OC-12 R7.0
over the DCC are also supported over the IAO LAN.
The IAO LAN interface is a software-only enhancement to DDM-2000 OC-3 R13.0
and OC-12 R7.0. The current DDM-2000 overhead controller (OHCTL) circuit
packs already support the IAO LAN interface (via an RJ45 connector).
DDM-2000’s IAO LAN interface is compatible with 10BaseT Ethernet hubs
operating at 10 Mb/s over 4-wire twisted pair cables (per Telcordia GR-253, ANSI/
IEEE 802.2 [ISO 8802-2] and ANSI/IEEE 802.3 [ISO 8802-3]).

* This feature will be useful when upgrading from DDM-2000 OC-3 R13.0 and OC-12 R7.0 to
subsequent releases.
