1035 Orchid

 

The Orchid 1035 is a network management mediation device (or management concentrator) for connecting equipment without built-in IP protocol stack to the Network Management System (NMS).

 

It is available as a desktop or as a card for the card nest CN4. The main difference with the Orchid 1003 LAN is the presence of two channelised E1 (G.703/G.704) interfaces, offering the possibility to transport the management information over 64 kbps time-slots of a SDH/PDH infrastructure.

The Orchid 1035 collects management information from the managed equipment and translates it into a number of IP based protocols: SNMP, TELNET, HTTP or PING. This is called IP proxy functionality.

 

The Orchid 1035 can also encapsulate the Telindus proprietary CMS2 (Card nest Management System) protocol into UDP/IP packets. TMA, TMA CLI, TMA Inventory management, TMA path management and TMA for HP OpenView® communicate in this way with the Orchid 1035. Advantages of this approach are the efficient use of the available bandwidth and delivery confirmation.
