Overview
This chapter describes the following features that are supported in the
management domain:
H Network Management Systems (NMSs)
H Applications for Diagnostics
Network Management Systems – SNMP and
DCE Manager
You may want to use an SNMP NMS to simplify the operation and management
of very large networks. In a UNIX environment you may use HP OpenView
(UNIX) as your NMS with Paradyne’s OpenLane DCE Manager, or in a Windows
environment, HP OpenView (MS-Windows) with Paradyne’s OpenLane DCE
Manager. The Hotwire DSLAM and Hotwire RTUs provide features for the
OpenLane DCE Manager to allow you to monitor and manage your network from
a central point.
The following lists some of the features of DCE Manager:
H Graphical User Interface (GUI) showing physical representation of the
Hotwire DSLAM and each active card
H Multiple integrated functions to provide on-demand health and status
information
H Color-coded graphic representations to provide instant visual status
H Loopback and pattern tests via Telnet to help isolate problems quickly
H Integrated management optimizes network performance and availability
H Direct Telnet support
