The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of the ITU. S
3、ome 179 member countries, 84 telecom operating entities, 145 scientific and industrial organizations and 38 international organizations participate in IT-T which is the body which sets world telecommunications standards (Recommendations). The approval of Recommendations by the Members of ITU-T is co
4、vered by the procedure laid down in WTSC Resolution No. 1 (Helsinki, 1993). In addition, the World Telecommunication Standardization Conference (WTSC), which meets every four years, approves Recommendations submitted to it and establishes the study programme for the following period. In some areas o
5、f information technology which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with IS0 and IEC. The text of ITU-T Recommendation X.460 was approved on 10th of April 1995. The identical text is also published as ISO/IEC International Standard 11588-1. NOTE I

14、Handling Systems. Introduction This Specification provides, through its four sections plus annex, an overview of the MHS Management functions. The first section briefly introduces the reader to the terminology, abbreviations, conventions and definitions used throughout the Recommendation I Internati
15、onal Standard. Although primarily used as a reference section, both new and experienced Recommendation I International Standard readers should note the additional definitions and conventions. Section two introduces MHS Management as a member of the family of OS1 Systems management standards. It guid
16、es readers towards the other Recommendation I International Standards in the MHS Management series which may be of interest. Section three, the MHS Management Model, addresses the needs of systems management designers to know how to fit their solutions together with the standards. For this purpose t
17、he model featured in figures will be a useful aid to visualise the relationships existing amongst the different functional layers and between the functional areas so far identified. Section four, the MHS Management Architecture, helps the reader to understand how MHS Management fits into and relates
18、 to the overall OS1 Systems management architecture. This should be of specific interest to implementors who need to know the protocol and service requirements. ii ITU-T Rec.
