1 Scope
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) addresses management aspects of the Flexible
Multiplexer (FM) equipment. The FM management functions are specified and management network
architecture is described.
NOTE: The requirements of Flexible Multiplexer equipment with a variety of access methods
for use in synchronous digital leased line networks are defined in part 1 of this ETS
(ETS 300 461-1 [31]).
Sub-64 kbit/s signals are not precluded and are considered as an option that may be described according
to the methodology used in this ETS. In the same way, special functions such as Adaptive Differential
Pulse Code Modulation (ADPCM), conference bridges, etc., which are only mentioned in an annex of
part 1 (ETS 300 461-1 [31]), are not considered.
The requirements presented here are limited to the basic functions, external characteristics and
performance of the equipment. Some management functions may be implemented in a mediation device
which may support both Q protocol adaptation and Operations Systems (OS) functionalities.
Part 1 of this ETS (ETS 300 461-1 [31]) defines functions and indicates whether or not they are
mandatory. If supported, a function has to be managed according to this part 2 of this ETS. Part 2 of this
ETS specifies when necessary the optional management characteristics (attributes, operations and
notifications) of the objects.

normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed

3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of this ETS, the following definitions apply:
Physical Interface (PI): This function terminates and generates the signals of either a tributary or an
aggregate circuit. The PI functional block recovers the timing signal (X or T2 reference point) from the
received signal. The function detects loss of signal condition. When appropriate, the line code violations
are also detected.
lower order section protection switch: This optional function is used when 1+1 protection switching is
required for the 2 048 kbit/s digital section.
plesiochronous lower order path termination: This function terminates and generates a logical signal
at 2 048 kbit/s at an aggregate interface. The function provides frame generation and recovery and
detection of defect and failure conditions on the 2 048 kbit/s logical signal.
lower order path protection switch: This optional function is used when either 1+1 or 1 for n protection
switching is required for the 2 048 kbit/s digital path.
remote multiframe alarm indication: This alarm corresponds to the Remote Alarm Indication (RAI) in
time slot 16, as defined in part 1 of this ETS (ETS 300 461-1 [31]).
cross connection function: This function allows the cross connection of 64 and n x 64 kbit/s signals
between the same or different reference points.
channel associated signalling cross connection function: If channel associated signalling or control is
used then this function allows the cross connection of the associated signalling signals at 4 x 500 bit/s or
n x 4 x 500 bit/s between the same or different reference points.
Special Function (SF): Examples of optional special functions are analogue multipoint conference
bridge, data multipoint bridge and broadcasting.
Tributary Signal Adaptation (TSA): This function modifies the tributary signal, when necessary, into a
64 kbit/s channel suitable for the cross connection function. It also carries out the reverse function.
Tributary Path Termination (TPT)/Tributary Signal Termination (TST): This function generates or
terminates tributary information and any related signalling or control signals.
administrative state: The meaning of the administrative state is described in each object definition, when
applicable.
null: This attribute value indicates that the function exists and is not activated.
