TMS v5.2 earns DISA APL Certification

K&R Custom Software, Inc. is pleased to announce that its Telecommunications Management System (TMS) version 5.2 has been added to the DSN Approved Products Listing (APL). The DSN Voice Connection Approval Office placed TMS v5.2 on the list after a series of certification tests (TN #0527901). The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) certification process included IA (Information Assurance) testing, as well as IO (Interoperability) testing. TMS v5.2 met interface requirements and required functional capabilities, and it is certified for joint use within the Defense Switched Network (DSN).

The IA (Information Assurance) testing for TMS v5.2 took place in September 2006 at the Air Force Information Warfare Center (AFIWC). Additional security, auditing, and encryption features were incorporated into TMS v5.2 for this phase. Enhancements to TMS v5.2 include advanced security and session control, tracking changes by individual users, and improved data storage. TMS v5.2 received IA Accreditation from the DISN Security Accreditation Working Group (DSAWG) in December 2006.

The second phase of testing, IO (Interoperability) testing, occurred in October 2006. This testing took place in the Fort Huachuca Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) lab. TMS v5.2 was connected to an array of switches (including Nortel, Avaya, and Lucent) via serial and IP connections for the collection of call data, traffic data, and switch alarms. In addition, K&R's Switch Interface module was certified for Nortel's MSL-100, CS2100, M1 Option 81c, M1 Option 61c, and M1 Option 11c. The Switch Interface module allows authorized TMS users to query and update the switch real-time and to query the switch data off-line from the switch. TMS v5.2 received IO Certification from Joint Staff in January 2007.

With the same easy-to-use graphical interface as TMS v5.0, the new TMS v5.2 adds powerful features for administration and security. Please feel free to contact K&R for more information about these recent developments.
