Transcript Migrating TMAS and the TNC Platform From Datakit To IP

Migrating E2A/X.25/MLT
Networks To IP
Presented by CBM of America
Existing E2A Architecture
• NMA is Telcordia’s “backbone” Network
Fault Surveillance System.
• Resident on Stratus servers running VOS
• Connects to E-telemetry Elements/bridgetree network via special NMA host
hardware.
Existing E2A Architecture
• E-telemetry elements are connected via
202T datasets, and DACS Digital Bridges.
• E-telemetry remotes include Westronic and
WECO E2A devices.

Bridge Tree Network
• Westronic devices are networked together
by digital bridges
• The NMA hosts are directly connected to
the top bridge of the bridge tree network
• “Classic” Bridge Tree Architecture
Solution
• Three Step Solution
• Step 1 – Make Bridge Trees “Virtual”
• Step 2 – Collapse Virtual Bridge Tree
Network
• Step 3 – Eliminate Legacy Equipment
Solution Building Blocks
• DT-4180/DT-4280
• 16/32 Synchronous or Asynchronous ports
to 115.2Kbps
• 10/100BaseT IP Network Interface
• Supports SNMP
Solution Building Blocks
• DT-6160/6260
• Embedded Network Processor Runs Applications
(IP-E2A, LTCN, IP-SLM) to Support Network

IP-E2A Features
• Support for one Host E2A interface per instance.
The E2A interface is typically originating on a
Datakit CPM module, and a virtual port on a UMI
is used to connect the host to the DT-6061 IP-E2A
instance.
• Up to 64 bridge E-tails per instance of the IP-E2A
application.
• Support for the BNS E2A port protocol. This
eliminates any host software changes.
• Automatic configuration of the DT-41/4280 ports
set up for E-Tails.
IP-E2A Features (cont.)
• Up to 30 instances of IP-E2A application may be
present on the same DT-6061.
• 1 Configuration Console is available to be used by
the IP-E2A administrator for configuration,
diagnostic and measurement purposes.
• The IP-E2A application has a diagnostic utility to
snoop on any of the interfaces which carry data.
(Via Telnet)
• DT-6061 & DT41/4280 are fully supported by
StarKeeper II NMS
