Abstract :
This paper describes the development and application of the automated maintenance system for transmission systems (AMS TS) in the St. Petersburg telephone network. The functional model and architecture of the AMS TS are consistent with the ITU recommendations for transmission systems including optical fiber transmission systems. This paper presents examples of facilities for different hierarchical levels of AMS TS. This paper also contains statistical data regarding tests of the system. The future development of the system and its integration with other maintenance systems within the telecommunication management network (TMN) is described
