ITU-T Recommendations

This amendment provides several enhancements to the generic network and network element level information model. First, it details a mechanism that supports reporting attribute value ranges across the EMS-NMS interface. Second, it defines a new Generic Transport TTP object class which is intended to represent a physical port or endpoints of transport connections. Third, it defines a new object class, ManagedElementR2, a subclass of ManagedElement with three additional attributes added. These attributes include one to hold the "model code" of a piece of equipment. Another new attribute is used to represent network element aliases, or names used by the EMS to refer to Network Elements. Also defined is an attribute to hold the generic "type" of network element.Another enhancement included in this amendment relates to expanding the CharacteristicInfo constants module so that it can adequately represent as much of the currently available signal rates as possible.
