- ABOUT MONITORING CENTERS
- ------------------------
-
- The Monitoring Center (MC) hardware and software consists of the C/70 mini-
- computer with peripheral components and the Network Utilities (NU) software
- that runs on the C/70. The NU software sets up the processes for
- monitoring and metering, manipulating a data base of network entities
- (components), displaying status, processing control commands, and
- generating reports. Each MC monitors and controls a designated collection
- of Packet Switch Nodes (PSNs), Terminal Access Controllers (TACs),
- Interswitch Trunks (ISTs), and host connections. A CRT (light box)
- displays network fault events (e.g., failed PSN, TAC, and IST) that are
- actively monitored by the controller. Access lines are not actively
- monitored and require trouble reports from the Host Administrator or
- responsible person for active intervention by the MC controller for problem
- correction. The network MCs are inherent elements of the Defense
- Communications Agency Operations Center (DCAOC) and respective DCA Area
- Communications Operations Center (ACOC).
-
- Functionally the monitoring center staff monitors, controls and performs
- remote troubleshooting, fault isolation and maintenance assistance
- direction.
-
- Controllers accomplish 55-1 outage reporting on PSNs, TACs, and ISTs.
- Subsequent to receipt of trouble reports for host systems, these
- controllers also prepare the 55-1 outage reports on access circuits.
-
-
- HOST SYSTEMS
- ------------
-
- Host Administrators or responsible host system operations centers/personnel
- must report problems to the MC for correction. When reporting trouble, obtain
- a trouble ticket number, which will be used for reference purposes during
- any follow-up inquiries.
-
-
- TERMINALS
- ---------
-
- Users local to a host computer must report problems to their Host
- Administrator.
-
- Users accessing a remote host computer via a Terminal Access
- Controller (either direct connection or dial-up) should do the following:
-
- a. Login Problems - See TAC banner. In the event the TAC banner is
- not reached, call the DDN Network Information Center (NIC)
- (CONUS only) telephone 1-800-235-3155. Europe and Pacific areas,
- contact the appropriate monitoring center.
-
- b. Access Circuit Problems - Call the appropriate monitoring center.
-
- c. Host Application Problems - Contact applicable Host Administrator
- or host system operations center.
