2-46 Issue 8.0 July 2002
Gateway Network Element (GNE) 2
In Releases 4.1 and 5, the FT-2000 OC-48 Add/Drop-Rings Terminal may operate
as a GNE that serves as a single interface to the local X.25 message-based
operations system for all the FT-2000 OC-48 Add/Drop-Rings Terminals in a ring
network. In releases prior to Release 4.1, each FT-2000 OC-48 Add/Drop-Rings
Terminal in a ring network has an interface to the local X.25 message-based
operations system.
The GNE receives operations information from all the FT-2000 OC-48
Add/Drop-Rings Terminals in the ring network through the DCC and reports that
information, along with its own, to the X.25 message-based operations system
(Figure 2-22). The operations information is in the form of TL1 messages. The
operations system can also send TL1 commands through the GNE to any
FT-2000 OC-48 Add/Drop-Rings Terminal in the ring network. All the FT-2000
OC-48 Add/Drop-Rings Terminals in the ring network must be equipped with
Release 4.1.0-ADR or 5.0.1-ADR software.
