AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Approval of an American National Standard requires review by ANSI that the requirements for due process, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by the standards developer. Consensus is established when, in the judgme

6、nt of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a conc

7、erted effort be made towards their resolution. The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he has approved the standards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures

15、umber 7 Guide Book to OMAP This standard is intended for use in conjunction with T1.110-1999 Signalling System Number 7 (SS7) General Information, , which includes an overview of SS7, a glossary, and a chapter on abbreviations. The overall and detailed organization of these specifications parallels

16、that used in the equivalent ITU-T recommendations. Thus, T1.116.0-2000 through T1.116.6-2000 of this standard corresponds to ITU-T Recommendations Q.750 through Q.756. The major changes in organization and appearance of these ITU-T Recommendations account for many of the changes to this standard fro

17、m the previous issue. The following is an overview of the changes and additions incorporated into these specifications: the MRVT has been clarified and revised to enhance the capability of testing MTP routes to adjacent signalling networks; the SRVT has been clarified and revised to enhance the capa

18、bility of testing MTP routes to adjacent signalling networks; T1.116 - i T1.116-2000 the SRVT has been clarified and revised to include new SCCP routing capabilities; and T1.116.0-2000, clause 6, was revised to include details on compatibility issues. Information contained in a normative annex in th

19、ese specifications is considered part of this standard. Information contained in an informative annex in these specifications is not considered part of this standard but is auxiliary to the standard. Similarly, footnotes are not officially part of this standard. Caution should be exercised in using

20、the Specification and Description Language (SDL) diagrams to interpret the standard since they may not fully align with the text. Please note that, in case of any conflict between the text and the SDL diagrams, the text always takes precedence over the SDL. Future control of this document will resid

25、 b) management functions within the SS7 protocol itself (e.g., changeover, forced rerouting, subsystem management, etc.); and c) management functions defined to enable verification and validation of routing tables, Circuit Identification Codes (CICs), etc. These functions may require communication w

26、ithin the signalling network, and for this, a separate protocol is defined. Such management functions are modeled as managed objects at the interface between the network elements and an operations system. Of the three sets of management functions defined above, OMAP provides a) and c). Set b) can be

27、 modeled as existing within the “Layer Management Entities” of SS7, and the functions are defined in the standards pertinent to those layers. OMAP interacts with all layers (i.e., with all the levels) of SS7 in order to effect control of the network. This standard comprises six chapters: T1.116.0 gi

28、ves the OMAP overview; T1.116.1 defines the SS7 managed objects; T1.116.2 defines SS7 monitoring and measurements; T1.116.3-2000 defines the SS7 management functions for managed objects that themselves require SS7 communication in the network, and also the OMAP Management Application Service Element

29、 (OMASE)-User where the logic of these functions (MRVT, SRVT LEF and LFS) is modeled; T1.116.4-2000 defines the Application Service Element (ASE) for those functions defined in T1.116.3-2000, i.e., OMASE; T1.116.5-2000 defines the SS7 testers; and T1.116.6-2000 is a Guide Book to Operations, Mainten

These may be summarized as: a) To

36、provide a TMN interface for the network administration3 ; This requires that the administration-to-OMAP interface be presented using TMN-defined concepts (see T1.116.1-2000). b) To interwork with other TMN parts to enable the provision of a unified approach for managing the whole Telecommunications

37、Network. Examples of these other parts are the Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) or the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN). These other parts could be _ 1This document is available from the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions . 2This document is available from the Internatio

38、nal Telecommunications Union . 3Here, the word “administration” in the term “network administration” refers to the body or bodies (either Administrations or RPOAs) responsible for controlling the SS7 network. T1.116.0 - 2 T1.116.0-2000 administered by the same body responsible for the MTP network or

39、 Tans or other jurisdictions (e.g., when an SCCP network covers more than one MTP network, one jurisdiction might exist for each MTP network). This means that the OMAP managed objects (see T1.116.1-2000) must be compatible with, and have appropriate attributes defined for interacting with, other Tan

40、s- managed objects. c) To extend, where necessary, the management of the SS7 network as described in functional SS7 standards (e.g., T1.111.3-2001 and T1.111.4-2001 for the MTP or T1.112-2001 for the SCCP), and to amalgamate this with the TMN approach. Hence, OMAP should provide for the complete man

41、agement of the SS7 network. It should provide consistency in approach between the different layers of SS7, and it should provide consistency across the SS7 network and its network elements. SS7 already has certain management defined in T1.111.4-2001, and SCCP management defined in T1.112-2001. These

42、 functions provide some automatic fault, configuration and performance management activities. OMAP has taken these functions into account in the definition of the behavior of SS7 managed objects. OMAP also extends the functionality already defined in the MTP recommendations to a complete management

43、service for the whole SS7 network. 2.1 OMAP Layers of Management Functions The “layers” of management functions define the partitioning of management processes on a hierarchical basis. The definition of TMN is concerned with five layers in management: namely business management, service management,

44、network management, network element management, and the elements in the network that are managed. Of these, OMAP currently is not concerned with business management, and interacts with other TMN parts to provide service management. For example, this latter interaction occurs if the addition of ISDN

45、services is required so that subscribers at one exchange can use these services to connect with subscribers at another exchange. The OMAP implementation would be involved in these changes. The top management level of OMAP is network management, which provides the functions and resources to allow adm

46、inistrations (possibly via a set of administration managed objects) to control the SS7 network. Management functions and resources are provided by OMAP to allow management within the SS7 signalling points. See clause 3 for further information on the OMAP reference model. The definitions of both netw

47、ork management and network element management functions and resources utilize the TMN and OSI managed object approach, and allow changes to be coordinated within OMAP. Certain managed objects (e.g., signalling link set and linksetNePart) have relations defined between them to allow network actions t

48、o be correlated with actions in concerned signalling points. Relations are also defined between managed objects to allow “management hierarchies” to be satisfied (e.g., to forbid removal of a signalling link set without first removing all its constituent signalling links). 2.2 OMAP Management Catego

49、ries The purpose of management is to provide a service. This can be classified as initial provisioning, maintaining existing service, and expansion or contraction of the service. Management activities can be divided into categories that satisfy one or more of the above classifications. OSI defines the categories of fault management, configuration management, performance management, accounting management, and security management. Of these, the first three categories are applicable to OMAP, the last two are for further study in OMAP. T1.116.0 - 3 T1.1
