Cisco ROSA Network Management System Data Sheet

 

Transmission Network Control System (TNCS) is an element 
management system for monitoring and controlling broadband 
transmission network elements.  TNCS implements a technically 
efficient and flexible client / multi-server architecture to manage 
the various elements.  The typical TNCS installation will consist 
of a combination of software, computer hardware, cable kits, RF 
modems, transponders, and services.  
 
In TNCS, the computer hardware provides the foundation for a 
cost-effective scalable system.  Depending on the performance 
and application requirements, different computer hardware 
components will be required. 
 
Most TNCS applications use one of the easy to order Scientific-
Atlanta software and computer hardware bundled packages for 
Headends, Hubs, and Client applications.  However, for added 
flexibility the individual components can be ordered for new or existing TNCS applications. (For more details on the 
bundled packages, refer to the TNCS Bundled Computer/Software Packages data sheet)
