摘要： A method of deploying a synchronous optical network (SONET) terminal is provided. The SONET terminal includes a management interface and an Ethernet port. A layer 2/3 data switch is connected to the management interface and the Ethernet port. Data associated with the SONET terminal is received at the layer 2/3 data switch. Further, the management data from the SONET terminal is converted from STS-1 data to DSx data at the layer 2/3 data switch. In a particular embodiment, the DSx data is routed to a DS1 channel within the SONET terminal. Also, the converted management data is transported over a data network as part of a SONET signal payload.

摘要： A method includes associating a first channel identifier of an electronic programming guide with a first multimedia channel from a first content source and associating a second channel identifier of the electronic programming guide with a second multimedia channel from a second content source. The second content source is different from the first content source. A computer readable medium embodies a set of executable instructions that manipulate a processor to generate an electronic programming guide. The electronic programming guide includes a first set of one or more channel identifiers and a second set of one or more channel identifiers. Each channel identifier in the first set is associated with one or more multimedia channels of a cable television transmission and each channel identifier in the second set is associated with a multimedia channel of a packet-based network transmission.
