Gateway NE
A DCN between the NMS and NEs is called an external DCN. Generally, the NMS is connected to NEs through an external DCN that comprises LAN switches, routers, and other data communication devices. A DCN between NEs is called an internal DCN. Internal DCNs are classified into inband DCNs and outband DCNs.

Description of the scenario: The protocol converter performs protocol conversion and point-to-point transmission. In this scenario, protocol converters are used in pairs.

Advantages and disadvantages of the solution: The advantage of this solution is simplicity. The disadvantage is that, in the case of multiple pass-through points, the number of protocol converters in the NM center is large and many transmission channels are occupied. Therefore, this solution is applicable to the scenario wherein only a few pass-through points exist.
