Hello !

I'm a student   in a computer  science  school and  I'm studying   OSI
Management standards. I have some questions about these standards.


1 - Consider a computer network and  a set of  video equipments (video
    cameras, video   recorders)  which can   be   driven  througth the
    computer  network   (images are transmitted   on  a separate video
    network).  For instance you   can  log on  your machine,  start  a
    video-server program and say :  connect camera C to video recorder
    R, and then say to R to start the recording.

My question is  : can a video  equipment be considered   as a "MANAGED
OBJECT" as it is defined in OSI Management Standards ?



2 - I have been told that FDDI networks can transmit images. In such a
    system, images and data are transmitted on the same support.

My question is the same as in 1.



3 - Can a video equipment be considered as an open system ?




In my mind MANAGED OBJECTS are only ressources which are used by open
systems during communications. That why i think that video equipments
can't be managed througth OSI Management. I'd like to know what some
other people think about this.

Thank you.
