Description
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)
