XMP1 is a modular, flexible and highly integrated cross-connect system with extensive application options including SDH and PDH multiplexer functionality. It is therefore essential to gain the knowledge of its features, functions and capabilities, and learn the skills required to carry out commissioning and in-service maintenance in order to successfully implement into a live network.
This course provides all the necessary information and practical training in order to enable students to most effectively operate, maintain, monitor, configure and troubleshoot the XMP1 platform.
Specific units covered on this course include the SDH components, managed by the network management system, SOX.
This course is suitable for Network Deployment Engineers, System Technicians, Service Technicians, and Field Technicians.
