OF THE OF TECHNOLOGY MASTER'S THESIS Author: Pradip Lamsal Name of the Thesis: Q3 Management of V5.1 - V5.2 Conversion Date: 12.06.2000 Number of pages: 77 Faculty: Computer Science and Engineering Professorship: Information Processing Science Code: Tik-76 Advisor: Prof. Reijo Sulonen Supervisor: Stephen Day, M.A This thesis is a part of a larger project that involves designing and developing an access node, which conforms to the V5 standard. V5 is an ETSI standard and it defines a set of messages that allows communication between an access network and a local exchange. The management aspect of the access node is very important as it ensures proper operation of the equipment and helps predict any possible problems.
