Data acquisition

Each probe uses a different method to acquire data. Which method the probe uses depends on the target system from which it receives data.

The TSM for Alcatel-Lucent DSC DEX acquires data from the DSC DEX range of voice switches by connecting to a DSC DEX system and intercepting the event stream. The messages on the event stream are read, parsed, converted to Netcool/OMNIbus alerts, and forwarded to the ObjectServer.

The TSM for Alcatel-Lucent DSC DEX can connect to a DSC DEX system through telnet, tip, or rsh. The TSM can only be terminated with a stop command (control-c).
