Working principle

The core technology in the ZXMSG 5200 is TDM

+ IP. The ZXMSG 5200 supports two
switching types:
l Circuit switching
l Ethernet switching

As shown in Figure 1-4, the outmost block represents the system boundary . The dotted

frame represents the card functions. The dotted frame at the right corner represents the

daughter card of the control and switching card.

The working principle of the ZXMSG 5200 narrowband service is as follows:

1. The narrowband service data enters the TDM switching module of the control and

switching card.

2. The TDM switching module performs circuit switching on the voice signals and sends

them to the VoIP processing card.

3. The VoIP processing card converts voice traffic into IP packets and sends them to the

Ethernet switching module.

4. The Ethernet switching chip switches the IP packets and send them to NAT module

for network address translation.

5. The IP packets enter the IP network through an uplink interface after the Ethernet

switching.
The working principle of the ZXMSG 5200 broadband service is as follows:

1. The broadband service data enters the Ethernet switching chip of the control and

switching card.

2. The broadband service data goes to the IP network through an uplink interface.

National Network Operating Center System

National Network Operation Center (NNOC) is backbone division of the companyresponsible

for the entire network of the country. It is known that network division is the core element for
every company which operates in the communication industry. Part of the Ethio Telecom

enterprise system used for this division is national network operating center system (NNOC)

which is shownas picture below. This system undertakes many tasks which enhance the

performance of the division and more over the efficient utilization of network infrastructure.

E-guard, special monitoring and management system for power equipment and environment and

Trouble Ticket System (TTS) can provide a full process of close-loop management complaint,

assignment handling, and acknowledgement and archiving of troubles and alarms from different

sources. Resource Management System (RMS) provides inventory management, resource

assignment cutover and resource prewarnings. Uniform Report Platform is a platform or which

each national network operating center subsystem will implement its own reporting flexibly.

Service management system (SMS) is used to realize automatic management of service process

by means of effective management workflows, with less manual intervention. The last task is

fraud management system (FMS) is a system used to effectively prevents fraud phenomena,

detects various fraudulent behaviors and means, roots out all kinds possible fraud phenomena in

time in order.

Thus, all above-mentionedtasks are done through NNOC module of the company’s enterprise

System. This makes the company to easily control, manage and maintain the whole network

throughout the country from single location. Despite easy control and management of network

the company insures business continuity through less cost and easily locate fault with possible

minimum time. Without such sophisticated and integrated software, managing optical fiber is

very difficult.
