[I know it's not "operating system", as that would be "sistema operativo"]
Can anyone shed some light please?
Many thanks
El presente documento recoge el alcance funcional de los requerimientos solicitados por la unidad de Explotación para la Supervisión y Control de la red en el futuro sistema de Operación de la Red.
El objetivo del presente documento es realizar una descripción funcional de los requerimientos para el nuevo sistema de Operación de Red.
A continuación se describe la funcionalidad que deberá soportar el nuevo sistema de Operación de la Red tanto en su parte online, como offline para cubrir el proceso completo de gestión de avisos e incidencias.
El sistema deberá incluir la supervisión relacionada con clientes (clientes totales afectados en toda la red, por zonas), de carga (carga total afectada en toda la red, por zonas), así como del resto de entidades relevantes en la supervisión de la red.
Explanation: From the context you've posted, it seems clear to me that this is referring to a "Network Management System (NMS)", which would normally be called "Sistema de Gestión de Red" in Spanish. But in my experience (as a former network administrator), IT terminology is often "incorrect" in Spanish, as it was originally conceived in English.
I appreciate your support on this.
I know that I've asked the occasional basic question in my time - especially when I was starting out 6 years ago. But millions of words later, I think that in general I don't these days.
For me, the help and input I get from fellow professionals on tricky/specialist terms is the best thing about this site...
Thanks again!
Laureana, I am sorry to disagree with you, but this question is as PRO as all other PRO questions posted by professional translators and answered by their peers.
In my humble opinion, two different answers with several "agrees" each, reflect the asker's reason to post.
PLEASE do not take it personally. It's just that I think that before voting "non-pro," you should provide your own answer and explain why it's so simple.
Love,

Thanks Martin and FVS.
As I said when I posted the question, I don't believe this is "operating system" which is "sistema operativo" and refers to the management of computer hardware resources...
This system needs to do things like "supervise and control the status of the network" and "mostrar un listado que contenga los elementos de red que no están en estado normal, sumarizados por línea" and "contar con una herramienta para realizar el cálculo de las perdidas técnicas en la red".
I'm convinced it is not "operatING system"
there's a clue in the capitalisation: looks to me as if it's not a (network (operating system))=operating-system-for-networks, but a ((network operation) system)=system-for-network-operation.
Network Functional System
Network Control System
Network Supervision System
but clearly not operating system.
