Telecommunications, local area networks, and computers-integrated network control

Abstract

The author examines the telecommunications local area network, and computer-integrated network control system (TLC, INC) concept which uses modern network management principles to detect service-affecting problems so that corrective action can be applied to restore service. The information is presented to network managers on a high-resolution color graphic workstation in real time. An operation overview of the TLC, INC is presented, and attention is given to such features as global and site display, telecommunications, computer resources, controls, preplans, trend analysis, and performance, audit, and ad hoc reports.<>
