Abstract

The integrated network support system (INSS) currently under development by Bell Canada and Telecom Canada will become the operations system (OS) designed to monitor and control Bell Canada´s digital transport network in the 1990s. INSS is conceived around the telecommunications management network (TMN) concept. Within Bell Canada, the Northern Telecom FD-565 fiber digital equipment constitutes the current backbone of the transport network, and for that reason it was chosen as the first network element on which to implement the emerging OSI/T1M1 standards. Bell Canada is actively involved in the development of the OSI-compliant (IF2/Q3) interface between INSS and the Northern Telecom equipment. The interface development process and issues in relation with OSI/T1M1 specifications and concepts are discussed
