The paper describes an operations system newly
designed to establish the network management and
provisioning functions for CCS(Common Channel
Signaling) network being currently deployed in Korea.
The SIGNOS, which is a sort of centralized systcm to
accommodate a number of SMX-ls(Signa1ing Message
Exchange), so called STP, consistently monitors and
maintains CCS network in the network wide point of
view to assure efficient utilization of the network. The
key issue here in this paper is to introduce the system
architecture and functions of SIGNOS and to present
an example of interface between an operations systcm
and network elements. In order to resolve the intcrfacc
between SMX-1 and SIGNOS we apply a part of SMX-
1 itself to the front-end of SIGNOS, anticipating that
No.7 protocol will be suitable for signaling network
management in the future.
