UTS-FTAM (File Transport, Access, and Management)

UTS-FTAM provides a suite of File Transfer Access and Management (FTAM) initiator applications that allow user applications to perform file transfer operations. The FTAM protocol is used in Telecom Networks to retrieve Billing data, logs and Performance data. UTS-FTAM allows developers to easily build applications that support simple, unstructured file transfer, access, and management (FTAM) for initiator and responder implementations on UNIX, Linux, embedded and Windows Systems.

UTS-FTAM includes an FTAM responder capable of interoperating with any Xelas Software FTAM initiator or other FTAM-compliant initiator.

The product also provides APIs suitable for the development of initiator applications that allows multiple clients to register and utilize FTAM services. Such initiators may perform file transfers with any system running an FTAM-compliant responder.

Customer installations

The UTS-FTAM was initially developed by Retix, a pioneer in OSI software protocols, and further developed and enhanced by Vertel Corporation. The software has been installed in numerous Telecom Networks all over the world for collecting billing and performance data from switches. Customers include:

• Equipment vendors: Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, Tellabs, Ciena, ZTE, Huawei, NEC
• Service Providers: T-COM, British Telecom,
• ISV: SDM, IBM, Acecomm, TTI

Supported Platforms and Protocols

FTAM initiator and responder programs can run with the Xelas UTS Netlink product which supports RFC-1006, OSI-LAN and X.25 protocols.

The following platforms are supported by UTS-FTAM:
