With the CrossTalk™ Mediation Services and CrossTalk™ Mediation AM Toolkit, Systems Mechanics offer a unique framework for the collection of faults from the network elements, sub-network element managers and other fault management systems.

The CrossTalk™ Mediation Services offer interfaces to collect faults from SNMP agents, as well as a CORBA API and a TCP/IP API. Based on the CrossTalk™ Mapper Engine and Mapping Rules, the CrossTalk™ Mediation Services offer great flexibility in the mapping of network faults from various protocols such as SNMP traps.

The CrossTalk™ Mediation AM Toolkit allows Systems Mechanics to provide Access Modules (Model AMs) to support entity model at a low cost. Thanks to this ability to model services and network components in HP OpenView
