I have heard a whisper about a network equipment evaluation standard called FCATS. I have never heard of it (only NEBS) and I can not find any information on it. All my searches turn up information on the Florida standardized tests but nothing regarding technology evaluation and reporting. Does anyone have a hint I can follow to find information, like maybe what the acronym stands for?
Thanks,
Thomas
Maybe you are referring to FCAPS. It stands for Fault Configuration Accounting Provisioning and Security. This is used to represent the various functionalities that a network equipment is typically required to support. I personally have not heard of FCATS in reference to network equipments. Vinay
