1. Overview
1.1 Summary
It is typical in large corporate networks to find a centralized support staff that maintains the
corporation’s network infrastructure through the use of comprehensive systems management and
network management applications. Tivoli develops management applications and infrastructure
that targets this market. Lexmark continues its tradition of adding value to such management
applications by integrating Lexmark’s network printer alert technology within the Tivoli
Management Environment (TME). We have developed a custom “event adapter” which can feed
Lexmark printer generated NPAP alerts into the Tivoli Event Console, or T/EC as it is more
commonly known. This custom “event adapter” has been integrated directly into the MarkVision
Messenger product.
1.2 Audience
This white paper is intended for sales engineers, technical sales representatives, customers who
make decisions for or are involved in the day-to-day support of managing networks. Readers
should be familiar with the Tivoli Management Environment and Tivoli products.
1.3 Availability
Tivoli Event Integration is currently available as part of MarkVision Messenger.
1.4 Supported
