Supercomm: Network Monitoring and Diagnostic System

Tekelecs to this company's network monitoring and diagnostic system, Sentinel, include Transport Adaptor Layer Interface (TALI) monitoring for Internet Protocol (IP) networks, new data display graphics, and new protocol analysis features for Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) wireless networks.

Sentinel enables wireline and wireless service providers to monitor, maintain, and ensure the reliability of innovative telecommunication products and services implemented across Signaling System 7 (SS7)-based Public Switched Telephone Networks (PSTNs) and next-generation wireline and wireless networks.

The Sentinel graphical Tekelecs add a geographic map interface to the Sentinel alarm management system, which provides the ability to "drill" down on a high-level map to elements originating alarms. In addition, Sentinel provides a visual indication of alarm status. Using this new capability, a carrier is able to update existing system maps or include custom maps.

For GSM wireless networks, a new protocol analysis form, with pre-defined filters and traces, is provided with the new enhanced GSM call trace capability. It displays messages from any of several GSM/PSTN protocols, including Direct Transfer Application Part (DTAP), Base Station System Mobile Application Part (BSSMAP), Mobile Application Part (MAP), and Integrated Services Digital Network User Part (ISUP).
