Maintenance and Operations
This section describes how the ATM Switch is operated, maintained, and managed.
Overview
The ATM Switch is primarily maintained and operated using a dedicated terminal
called MAT that is connected to the ATM Switch via RS-232C. Some of the
functions may also be performed from an NMS connected via the ATM or Ether
network. SNMP, the standard protocol for Internet hardware, is used over UDP/IP/
SNAP/LLC/AAL5 for communications between the NMS and the ATM Switch. 
 illustrates how the MAT and the NMS are used to control maintenance
operations.
