iNET System Operational Flows

Abstract

The integrated Network-Enhanced Telemetry (iNET) project is transitioning from standards development to deployment of systems. In fielding a Telemetry Network System (TmNS) demonstration system, one must choose and integrate technological building blocks from the suite of standards to implement new test capabilities. This paper describes the operation of a TmNS and identifies the management, configuration, control, acquisition, and distribution of information and operational flows. These items are discussed utilizing a notional system to walk through the mechanisms identified by the iNET standards. Note that at the time of this paper the efforts discussed are only at the very beginning of the design process and will likely evolve throughout the design process.
