and maintenance ports, which are protected by internal firewall software, RNC internal
communication in whole system is entirely isolated. So RNC can detect and defend
against the network security attacks. At the same time, the OMM subsystem supports
powerful user authentication functionality; the idea is that system will distribute relevant
operation permission according to user name and password.
RNC software system has powerful self-fault-tolerant capability, mainly reflected in:
 Automatically checking the legitimacy of data configured by user, refusing wrong or
unreasonable data configuration and informing user to modify
 Supporting key version and data backup, and performing rollback when version or
data loading failed
 Supporting “watch dog” functionality, resetting the boards when software going
wrong and recording the failure information by black box function
 Detecting the failure of ports, link and SW/HW, resetting/triggering backup unit to
guarantee system running normally
