FOX615 is configured using the FOXCST graphical configuration software. Intuitive user dialogs, equipment views and the ability to configure offline. It help users to reduce down time of network elements and to speed up troubleshooting. The full integration of FOX615 into FOXMAN-UN ensures easy configuration of multiple network elements, especially the Networking Package option which allows efficient and failure-save automatic configuration of MPLS-TP communication links in a network. This also allows the operation of larger networks with reasonable efforts. FOXMAN-UN’s unique ability to integrate a range of our Utility Communication devices helps operators to enhance the overall performance of utilities’ operational networks.
IP/MPLS with its dynamic protocols is well adapted to the requirements of the volatile public telecom networks, which are very different to those of stable operational networks; where knowledge of channel routing is more important then load dependent network reconfigurations. Since MPLS-TP is a technology that uses network management systems for channel configuration instead of running many dynamic protocols on the node, the operation of the network and the general parameters of performance become significantly easier. This is an important aspect in the power utility environment. Releasing the network elements from all these dynamic protocols has many advantages. For example, it makes the setup, configuration and troubleshooting of the nodes much easier, it also reduces the complexity of the node itself with corresponding cost savings on hardware and the power consumption of the node.
