Answer 1
b is correct
TMN stands for Telecommunication Management Network. It supports management activities associated with telecommunication networks.


Answer 2
c is correct
TINA stand for "Telecommunications Information Networking Architecture".It represents an attempt to provide a common conceptual
and architectural framework for software for telecommunications services and their management.


Answer 3
e is correct
Each TMN-MS contains a specification of the TMN-MS in prose form, the components used by it and the TMN management functions which used by the components.
A Telecommunication Management Network Management Services (TMN-MS) provides supports for the operation, administration and maintenance (OAM) of the network being managed. TMN-MSs are an integral part of TMN interface specifications.


Answer 4
e is correct
The TMN management function is associated with management functionality in a managed system.They are usually grouped into five functional areas:
1. Performance management
2. Fault (Maintenance) management
3. Configuration management
4. Accounting management
5. Security management

Answer 5
d is correct
Management goals describe the benefits of TMN users, that is, the reason for performing that management service. TMN-MS addresses the relevant information on telecommunication management serving a specific management goal which is always described from the TMN users sense of the management required.


Answer 6
c is correct
TMN is defined to provide effective management of a telecommunication network so that the telecommunication administration is optimising its revenue. It derives its architecture by extending the principle for managing Open System Interconnection (OSI) System Management. A TMN may provides management functions and offer communication both between the OSs themselves, also between OSs and various parts of the telecommunications network.


Answer 7
c is correct
The TMN Functional Architecture is associated with the following building blocks and interfaces.
1. Operations System Function(OSF)
2. "q" is the reference point when both OSFs are located in the same TMN
3. "x" is the reference point when two OSFs are located in different TMNs


Answer 8
c is correct
The TMN Physical Architecture is associated with the following building blocks and interfences.
1. Operating System(OS)
2. Q interface implements a (set of) q reference point(s)
3. X interface implements a (set of) x reference point(s)


Answer 9
d is correct
There are four TMN architectural framework.
1. Functional Architecture
2. Physical Architecture
3. Information Architecture
4. Logical Layered Architecture


Answer 10
c is correct
There are three subsets of Telecommunications Information Networking Architecture(TINA) architecture.
1. Computing Architecture
2. Service Architecture
3. Management Architecture
