ABSTRACT: This document presents the Telcordia view of generic requirements for Switched Multimegabit Data Service (SMDS) Exchange Access Operations Management (XA-OM) service and Exchange Carrier Operations Management (ECOM) capabilities. As defined in the GR, an SMDS XA-OM service consists of network management capabilities provided by a Local Exchange Carrier (LEC) to an Interexchange Carrier (IC).

These capabilities are intended to help enable an IC to directly manage aspects of its Exchange Access SMDS service. In addition, this GR provides generic requirements for SMDS ECOM. SMDS ECOM is a set of network management capabilities that one LEC may provide another LEC when two LECS that reside in the same Local Access and Transport Area (LATA) choose to interoperate to provide Exchange SMDS.

These capabilities are intended to help enable a LEC to manage aspects of the end-to-end Exchange SMDS service.
