IP Tunneling in the DCC channels application

The figure below shows an example of the IP tunneling in the DCC channels application. This feature provides a way to manage IP devices through the Data Communication Network (DCN). An IP EMS (Element Management System) is used to manage NEs which use IP based management protocols (IP NEs).

The embedded overhead channel (Data Communication Channel) of the 1643 AM/1643 AMS is used to transport the management data between the IP EMS and the different NEs.

An IP tunnel can be seen as a set of two static routing entries in nodes on the edge of the OSI network and the corresponding static entries in the routing table. The LAN used by IP EMS can also be used by the Alcatel-Lucent OMS.

The figure below shows an application with AnyMedia Access equipments (AAS). The EMS for AAS realizes the management of the different AAS equipments via the Q-LAN interfaces and using the DCC channels of the different 1643 AM/1643 AMS.
