Q3ADE FTAM

Q3ADE® FTAM

The FTAM (File Transfer, Access & Management) provides a bulk data transfer service based on the standard ISO OSI 8571.

FTAM is widely used in the telecom world for transferring files between switches and central accounting systems.

FTAM is the OSI equvalent to the Internet File transfer protocol FTP, but provides a wider range of functionality for handling and mediating between different file data formats.

Q3ADE® FTAM actually consists of two products, namely the Q3ADE® FTAM Server and the Q3ADE® FTAM Client.

The Q3ADE® FTAM Server provides the equivalent of an FTP server, i.e. access to the local file store of the host via the FTAM protocol. It is purchased separately.

The Q3ADE® FTAM Client provides the equivalent of an FTP client, i.e. access to remote file stores via the FTAM protocol. It is included with the Q3ADE 3G platform and the Q3ADE® 3G Advanced Developer.

The Q3ADE® FTAM is provided on Windows NT/2000/XP, Solaris and RedHat Linux. It supports FTAM over X.25, CLNP and RFC1006/TCP/IP). Some combinations of OS and Protocol Stacks are not supported yet.

Applications

• File Transfer between TMN Systems

Benefits

• Standard Compliant File Transfer
  Q3ADE 3G acts as a single-sign-on security gateway, so that the users need only to identify themselves once to get access to the real-time management information.

Requires

• An IBM compatible PC with Windows NT/2000, A Sun Sparc + Solaris or an IBM compatible PC with Red Hat Linux*)
• 128 MB RAM + 50 MB Free HD.
• Optional low level OSI protocol stacks depending on the hosting OS and peer application requirements.
