The association can either be anassignment (preparation) or an actualcross connection.In the Functional Model (the left side of figures29,30 and 31) cross connection is thepossible association between a TCP anda CP or between CPs. It is by controllingthis association that networks can be configuredto meet changing demands. Certainrequirements have to be met to makethe control function easier. Examples offunctional requirements are:- It should be possible only to assign (prepare)a cross connection without activatingit (Figs. 29 and 30)- It should be possible to perform point-topointand point-to-multipoint (broadcast)cross connections (Figs. 29 and 31)- It should be possible to cross-connectseveral Termination/Connection Pointsas a single unit without the need to makeindividual cross connections (Fig. 30)- It should be possible to group Termination/ConnectionPoints for managementpurposes like routing, etc.Figs. 29,30 and 31 illustrate how the functionalrequirements listed above are usedto derive both the Functional and InformationModels.Fig. 29 shows a point-to-point cross-connectioncase.

Three of the four to/-from TP pointers correspond to the threeactivated cross connections. In the fourth- only assigned - cross connection, theConnectivity pointers will be NULL to indicatea non-activated state.Fig. 30 shows cross connections betweendifferent groups of Termination/ConnectionPoints. In addition to the point-to-pointcase, the Information Model consists of:- A Group Termination Point ManagedObject class (GTP) which represents agroup of CTPs to be cross-connected asa single unit- A Cross Connection object pointer,which is a relationship attribute belongingto the GTP and pointing at the XCManaged Object- A "naming", which is a relationship attributebelonging to the GTP and pointing atthe CTPs that constitute the GTP.In the example, the three cross-connect-Fig. 31Broadcast cross connectionERICSSON REVIEW No. 1-2, 1992
