Scope
This standard provides an overview and general discussion of the models@ terminology@ and principles utilized to define needed management functionality in customer and network equipment for ISDN management operations. This standard covers the general concept of the ISDN management process and states the functional ISDN maintenance strategies. Standards in this set refer to other American National Standards for specification of the details of communications interfaces required for ISDN management. This series of standards does not directly address the maintenance and operations of Signaling System #7 (SS7) networks. Purpose The purpose of this standard is to provide an overview of the set of standards on management operations for Integrated Services Digital Networks (ISDNs) and to establish the principles for the maintenance and operations needed for overall management of ISDNs. This set of standards is intended to establish needed management functionality in customer and network equipment@ particularly from the perspective of maintenance functionality available at network interfaces between telecommunication carriers@ at the network boundary on the customer's premises@ and with operations systems.
