Service Supervision and Reporting
Introduction
Service Supervision provides Service Level Management by monitoring “Services” and presents Service operational state and fault state. In addition, it generates reports for “Services” that present availability over time.
The sample EoS network diagram below illustrates the boundary of the FOXMAN-UN’s end-to-end service monitoring and an overview of the Service Path.
End-to-End TDM Service Supervision
• Service
A Service is a a collection of Service Paths, where a Service Path provides one complete “channel” of the intended service. A Service must have at least one Path.
• Path
A Service Path or transport route defines one complete channel of the Service. It is a combination of Service Components.
• Service Components
A Service Component, which represents a physical or logical elements in the network, can be:
− Port
− Circuit
The Networking Package (NP) must be enabled for Circuits to be part of a Service. If NP is disabled, the operator can use only the Ports, Sections and Service Points for creating a Service Path.
− Section
− Service Point
A FOXMAN-UN object, where key service control and configuration resides. For example, an EoS Service Point represents the point where EoS is enabled/disabled and where EoS specific alarms would be addressed.
The other supported Service Point types are as follows: X21, RS232 (V24/V28), E&M and E1).
The diagram below illustrates a single end-to-end service with two different Paths (or transport routes).
