The MCC provides maintenance personnel with real-time system status indications,
control and display capabilities, and input/output messages. Refer to Figure 2-31. The
MCC also provides manual emergency recovery capabilities, Recent Change functions,
and the ability to request reports. The major components of the MCC consist of the
following:
• Video Display Terminal (VDT)
— The VDT display pages provide the status and control information needed to
perform maintenance tasks. Maintenance requests are input using a
keyboard. The terminal is also used to access Solaris UNIX
10
.
• Receive-Only Printer (ROP)
— The ROP provides a hardcopy of input and output messages, creating a
record for future reference. Traffic measurement data can also be directed to
the ROP.
2.9.5.1 Video Display
The optional local MCC video display terminal provides office maintenance personnel
with a means to interface with the DRM for system status indications, configuration
controls, and human-machine interface messages. The MCC video display terminal is
not duplicated. For functional purposes, the video display terminal is divided into the
following units:
• Display
• Alphanumeric keyboard
• Numeric/function keypad.
The MCC (MTTY or MCRT) provides a split-screen effect (see Figure 2-31). The video
display has a general layout that consists of an identification line, a system summary
area, a control and display page area, and an input message entry area.
