Introduction

This Part is the managed object ensemble that defines management of Cellular Digital Packet Data (CDPD) Network elements, specifically a Mobile Data Base Station (MDBS) and a Mobile Data Intermediate System (MD-IS).

This Part assumes that the reader is familiar with CDPD in general, as presented in Part 100. Part 100 provides a comprehensive glossary of CDPD terms. References to non-CDPD documents, shown in square brackets (e.g., [CCITT-X.701]), are listed in Part 100 that provides a complete CDPD bibliography.

Ensembles provide a top down view of a particular solution to a management problem. In order to focus on the solution to this management problem, specific restrictions are placed upon particular referenced definitions.

The concepts and format of Ensembles are described in the "NM Forum Ensemble Concepts and Format" [NMF-025] specification document.

Each ensemble contains general text in each section that is common to all ensembles. By convention this common text is portrayed in bold italic characters.

This ensemble, wherever possible, references documents that define the components of the ensemble.

The management problem is identified as a set of requirements and constraints. In defining the solution to this management problem, the resources to be managed, the functions to be applied, and the scenarios describing the interactions are all identified. The ensemble references base standards and International Standardized Profiles (ISPs). It also references libraries containing definitions expressed by GDMO (Guidelines for the Definition of Managed Objects [CCITT-X.722]) templates.

The purpose of this document is to collect management information definitions and profiles and show how they can be applied to manage the resources identified in this ensemble.

This Part of the CDPD System Specification is organized as follows:

• Section 1, "Introduction" provides a high level overview describing the ensemble and the structure of the document

• Section 2, "Management Context," identifies the managed resources and management capabilities of the ensemble

• Section 3, "Information Model," specifies all management information components of this ensemble

• Section 4, "Ensemble Conformance Requirements," provides or references statements of conformance for this ensemble. The Managed Object Conformance Statements (MOCS) Proformas specific to the ensemble are provided in Section 5.
