ABSTRACT: The information to be exchanged across the operations interfaces in an open environment is formally presented in an information model in terms of managed object classes that are abstract representations of resources and services in a managed system, and their properties (i.e., packages, behavior definitions, attributes, operations, notifications, etc.). The purpose of the information model is to provide a common frame of reference for operations communications for Integrated Digital Loop Carrier (IDLC) and Fiber In The Loop (FITL) systems for remote network management. This information model is developed using an OSI/CMISE (Open Systems Interconnection/Common Management Information Service Element) object-oriented design approach and is consistent with the principles and format in International Standards Organization (ISO) Structure of Management Information (SMI) Part 1.

This Generic Requirements (GR) document presents the view of Telcordia on generic requirements for an operations communications interface for management of Integrated Digital Loop Carrier (IDLC) and Fiber-in-the-Loop (FITL) systems using the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) management services and protocols. Specifically, this GR proposes an information model that provides a common frame of reference for operations communications between a managing system and an IDLC system and a managing system and a FITL system.

Revision 1 covers the OSI/CMISE information model developed for IDLC and FITL systems. The information model can be used to support the development of OSI/CMISE-based management interfaces for IDLC and FITL systems under a variety of scenarios. The purpose of this document is to provide a platform for managing the variety of technologies and services supported with IDLC and FITL systems as these systems are deployed. A key goal for this document is to facilitate the development of Element Manager systems by providing the tools needed for OSI/CMISE element management interfaces in the distributed IDLC and FITL access system environment.

Revision 2 of GR-2833 presents the view of Telcordia on proposed generic requirements for an operations communications interface for management of GR-303 Integrated Digital Loop Carrier (IDLC) and TA-909 Fiber In The Loop (FITL) systems using the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) management services and protocols defined in ISO/IEC IS 9595 (Common Management Information Service Element Definition) and ISO/IEC IS 9596 (Common Management Information Protocol), respectively. Many reference managed objects that were sourced from standards are updated to reflect changes approved in the standards bodies. Other managed objects that were previously sourced from Telcordia information model document (GR-1042-IMD) are now replaced with managed objects from standards. Requirements CR4-81 [83v2], CR4-58 [58v2], and R4-52 [52] have been updated.

GR-2833 replaced GR-2833-DISK, TA-NWT-001311, and TA-NWT-001415.

GR-2833 was partly replaced by GR-836-IMD (objects supporting video services in a FITL or HFC system) and GR-1031. GR-303, GR-303-IMD (replaced TR-TSY-000303-SUP03), and/or GR-909. You may also want tor refer to GR-818, GR-828, GR-836, GR-836-IMD, GR-1031, GR-1042, GR-1102, and GR-2940; ANSI T1.247: ISO/IEC 10164-12, 10164-18, and 10165-2; ITU-T G.774, M.3100, Q.821, Q.822, and X.721; and DAVIC 1.3, Part 6 (Digital Audio-Visual Council).

This GR also includes one or more Issue List Reports (ILRs) that details open or closed technical issues in the main document. The ILR(s) are automatically sent free of charge to the GR document purchaser.
