GENERAL

Node

4. Node
A Fusion network consists of the following types of nodes:
• Network Control Node
The Network Control Node, which must be assigned on a Fusion network, manages other nodes on the
network. This node has the Centralized-MAT to collect fault information from other nodes on the network.
Multiple nodes cannot be assigned as a Network Control Node.
• Local Node
All nodes other than the Network Control Node are called Local Nodes. Fault information generated at a
Local Node is sent to the Network Control Node via a Fusion link, allowing the Network Control Node to
collect the fault information. A Fusion network can have a maximum of 16 nodes on the network. See
Figure 2-6.
The actual number of nodes varies with system configurations.
Note:
• Center Node (for Centralized Billing - Fusion)
This node collects the billing information from other nodes as well as the self-node. For this reason, the
node is called Center Node for Centralized Billing - Fusion. Multiple Center Nodes can be assigned on the
network by specifying the polling destinations, which can be set by the ASYDL command - SYS 1 Indexes
608 through 639. At the Center Node, the user can select "polling destinations" by setting 1 to the FPC of
the corresponding nodes. For more information, see the NEAX2400 IPX Office Data Specification.
A Fusion network can have a maximum of 16 nodes.
