4. REMOTE MANAGEMENT CAPABILITIES
The X-Terminal used for operations and maintenance of the Cellworx STN
network can be linked through existing customer Ethernet networks using TCP/IP
over any transport layer (e.g. Frame Relay, ATM, Private Line, etc.) Refer to
Figure 1-14 for an example.

Figure 1-14. Remote X-Terminal Operations
The network operator can use any workstation with a standard X-Windows
platform or a PC with X-Terminal emulation to remotely access the network,
launch the GUI, and monitor or troubleshoot the Cellworx STN ring network. The
operator can remotely connect to a node via Telnet session through the NMIC, and
use craft menus to retrieve alarm and performance information. These functions are
performed utilizing IP addresses set up for each node at turn up.
Messaging between remote nodes and the GNE NMIC is performed by targeting
the NE’s IP address. Many existing network components (BSS, ATM Switches,
frame relay switches, and routers) can also be pulled up on the same X-Terminal
for maintenance and troubleshooting capabilities.
