Data acquisition
The probe acquires alert data from a fault adapter. The fault adapter is a Tellabs 8000 INM software module that communicates with the Tellabs 8000 Intelligent Network Manager through TCP/IP.
The fault adapter collates the raw data from which the probe creates alerts. There are two categories of data that the probe acquires from the fault adapter:
- Network element faults
- Active faulty circuits
The probe can be configured to acquire an extended definition of these faults.
Data acquisition is described in the following topics:
