ABSTRACT: This Generic Requirements (GR) document presents the Telcordia view of proposed generic requirements for the information model of the system management interface between Operations Systems (OS's) and Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) Digital Cross-Connect Systems (DCS's), using the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) management services and protocols defined in ISO/IEC IS 9595 (Common Management Information Service Definition) and ISO/IEC IS 9596 (Common Management Information Protocol), respectively. The interface capabilities enabled by the information model proposed here are intended to support Fault Management, Configuration management and Performance Management for SONET DCS's as described by GR-2996, Generic Criteria for SONET Digital Cross-Connect Systems.

The information model discussed in the GR is derived from the SONET information model described in GR-1042, Generic Requirements for Operations Interfaces Using OSI Tools-Information Model Overview: Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) Transport Information Model.
