Hello !
I'm a student in a computer science school and I'm studying OSI
Management standards. I have some questions about these standards.
1 - Consider a computer network and a set of video equipments (video
cameras, video recorders) which can be driven througth the
computer network (images are transmitted on a separate video
network). For instance you can log on your machine, start a
video-server program and say : connect camera C to video recorder
R, and then say to R to start the recording.
My question is : can a video equipment be considered as a "MANAGED
OBJECT" as it is defined in OSI Management Standards ?
2 - I have been told that FDDI networks can transmit images. In such a
system, images and data are transmitted on the same support.
My question is the same as in 1.
3 - Can a video equipment be considered as an open system ?
In my mind MANAGED OBJECTS are only ressources which are used by open
systems during communications. That why i think that video equipments
can't be managed througth OSI Management. I'd like to know what some
other people think about this.
Thank you.
