Summary

The purpose of this Recommendation is to define the Q3 interface between an Access Network (AN) and a Local Exchange (LE) and the Telecommunications Management Network (TMN) for the support of configuration management functions for V5 interfaces, as described in Recommendations G.964 and G.965, and their associated user ports. The management of transmission, media, and services which are not related to V5 interfaces is outside the scope of this Recommendation.

Generic modelling of leased line ports which are associated with a V5 interface is within the scope of this Recommendation, but the traffic from these ports can only be associated with 64 kbit/s bearer channels on the V5 interface.

This Recommendation does not constrain the logical or physical size of the AN or its geographical dispersion. The definition of the managed object class which represents an AN is outside the scope of this Recommendation.
