TNCS
BasicsTransmission
Network Control Systems (TNCS)
is a comprehensive element management system that provides
centralized end-to-end monitoring and control of broadband
transmission networks. TNCS is a mixture of software and
hardware components that is used to monitor and control the
health of Headend, Transmission, and Distribution segments of
the network. Minimizing downtime and increasing the broadband
network reliability are the primary objectives of TNCS.
Thousands of individual pieces
of equipment are required to transmit information over a
broadband network. From a centralized headend to hub sites and
ultimately to the end user, all of the devices in the network
must work in together to deliver an uninterrupted connection.
TNCS reveals this entire network using easy to understand,
topology-driven graphic displays. Signal processing and
transmission equipment located in headends and hubs, as well as
the optical nodes, power supplies, and amplifiers in the outside
plant are all monitored and controlled with TNCS.
The beauty of TNCS is that it
is SIMPLE TO USE. Operators are easily trained within a couple
of hours. The software handles all of the complicated
communications between equipment and creates efficient,
easy-to-use graphic displays that identify problems and assist
in trouble-shooting.
TNCS gives you a tool to monitor and manage the health of your
network. If you want to increase your system availability,
improve the reliability of your network, lower your maintenance
cost, and improve your customer satisfaction, you need to look
at TNCS.
