This ETSI Technical Report (ETR) has been produced by the European Computer Manufacturers’

Association (ECMA) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute

This ETSI Technical Report (ETR) is based upon a “snapshot” of the work of ETSI STC NA4, Working

Group 3 and Question 23/4 of the ITU-T for the services description and for the functions to support these

services (these services and functions have been adapted to suit the Private Telecommunication Network

(PTN) environment). The services are not to be standardized and the compendium provided in this ETR

does not attempt to be exhaustive in its coverage. Instead it explores sufficient material to assist further

This ETSI Technical Report (ETR) identifies a set of Private Telecommunication Network (PTN)

Management Services representative of PTN networks. This list is not meant to be exhaustive nor

constricting and, as such, will not be subject to standardization, at least not at this stage. Services identified

in this ETR may not be complete or necessarily offered in a particular implementation. However, they will

provide a check-list to guide the standardization process, ensuring that it supplies all the functionality that is

Each PTN Management Service is briefly described in terms of its activity and identifiable separate

component parts. From these the groupings of functions supporting these components are identified.

The range of PTN Management Services, the activity description and the components for each are not to be

standardized. The function groupings will only be standardized in so far as they impact interfaces.

A level (or layer) of the management hierarchy which has the responsibility for the management of all

the network elements, both individually and as a set. It is not concerned with how a particular element

provides services internally (described in annex B in ITU-T Rec. M.3010). It covers:

• Control and coordination of the network view of all the network elements within its scope or

• The provision, cessation or modification of network capabilities for the support of service to

Similar to the definition of TMN Management Service in CCITT Rec. M.60 except that its scope is

PTN Management rather than the TMN. It is also referred to in ECMA TR/54 using the old term of

Implicitly from ECMA TR/54 this is a TMN-like environment but with a scope restricted to PTNs.

A level (or layer) of the management hierarchy which is concerned with, and responsible for, the

contractual aspects of services that are being provided to PTN users or available to potential new PTN

Management Services are the users’ requirements for managing a telecommunication network. As such it

must be the aim of the management interfaces to support these requirements even if not all the services are

provided by automated equipment (e.g. the OMP or MP). The Management Services thus represent a

It is not envisioned that many 'new' Management Services will be documented as they are currently enacted

by human operators. These operators interact with the existing management systems so as to realise these

Management Services. It must be an aim of standardization to allow for the continuing automation of these

For consideration when identifying Management Services is that such services are relevant to specific areas

in the management hierarchy, i.e. Business, Service, Network and Element Management. A human operator

can interact with each level in the hierarchy from a workstation and uses different Management Services

from each level. This is depicted in figure 1. For example, a maintenance engineer would want to interact at

the Element Manager level normally and would need to see manageable objects in far more detail than

In support of the above concept, a Management Service Template can be used to organise the

Information is included in annex D about the interactions between the services, indicating overlaps,

Management Services for PTNs have been defined based upon TMN Management Service work

undertaken principally for public network equipment. This is because many management

features/requirements are shared between public and private networks. The purpose of this compendium is

to bring together in a single document an overview of the management services which are relevant to PTNs.

Additional Management Services are defined which are required for PTN Management where an equivalent

TMN Management Service does not exist. Some of these additional services may also be adapted for use in

The Functional Groupings have also been based upon work developed for TMN but have been simplified to

separate generic activities from the data involved. This has been done to ease the step to an object oriented

Annexes have been provided to give more details of some of the additional Management Services, to show

how TMN Management services have been adapted and to give an overview of the major relationships

Each Management Service that is listed represents a broad area of activity for PTN management. Each

Management Service is broken down into a set of Components of Service which represent the general

The management functions which are necessary to support each of these Components can be determined

and new functions defined only if none suitable already exist. The functions are grouped for commonalty

During the process of grouping and rationalisation of the functions, the requirement(s) for each particular

function (identified by the Component(s) of Service it is associated with) can be analysed. This leads to the

Managed Objects and messages which are necessary to represent the functions at the management

The above process is documented in the methodology described in Technical Report ECMA TR/54

Management Framework. Figure 2 illustrates the methodology and has been drawn from ECMA TR/54.

The Management Services approach compliments the classical object oriented approach as it ensures that

all the Managed Objects that are required to support the Management Services are identified. It also allows

'high management level' Managed Objects to be identified which do not directly reflect managed resources

but rather represent a composite of resources and so would be difficult to identify purely by using an object

Task 1 of the methodology in ECMA TR/54 calls for each Management Service identified to be described

The following services do not imply any implementation aspects of functions within physical building

blocks. Each PTN Management Service is annotated to show its origin, and annex C gives information

Interaction with the PTN Authority is the principle means by which PTN users are able to control

their own PTN access. The management service of User aspects administration allows a PTN control

authority to interact with the PTN in order to support PTN users. This service is intended to cover all

the aspects of dealing with PTN users which will require support from the PTN and will include both

logical and physical aspects. However, it should be noted that other management services will need to

be called upon for the administration of those aspects not directly associated with the user.

Comprising the logical aspects is the ability for the PTN control authority to allocate and administer

the telecommunication services for specific PTN users. Not only does this include the service

considerations for an individual user but also it must consider the service interactions of the whole

user community on the PTN. It should be noted that this aspect must be considered independently of

On the physical side the PTN control authority will need to be able to interact with the access

equipment associated with an individual PTN user. There is a strong relationship here with the

Management Service for Management of PTN User Access where access equipment is considered as a

whole (independent of individual users). Note that there may not be a fixed relationship between users

The purpose of management of routeing information in a PTNX is to allow a manager to change the

PTN routeing information dynamically. In order to provide this service certain requirements should

1. It must be possible to verify routeing information in a PTNX with a minimal disturbance to the

2. It must be possible to switch between routeing plans according to predefined conditions, e.g.

3. It must be possible to define functionality in such a way that routeing plans may easily be

4. It must be possible to avoid redundant information by using information held by the PTN.

The tariff and charging administration covers the part of the management activities related to the

tariffs in, and influencing, the PTN and to the charging data for service usage. The activities may

include creation, interrogation, modification and deleting data, and the management of the data

collecting process. The activities may also include all types of methods used to verify that the

In a PTN environment this service is more to do with charges incurred for services by other networks

(e.g. PSTN). There is a correspondence here with interworking between public networks.
