Network Interface Unit (NIU)

Faults and warnings can also be diagnosed with SNMP using the NIU. The NIU sup-
ports complete interactions with Unison system: 

• Gets, Sets, and Traps/Notification

The NIU enables access to multiple LGC systems at a site as follows:

• NIU-4P-NM-1 (Up to four Unison systems)

• NIU-10P-NM-1 (Up to ten Unison systems)

The LGC NIU includes a MIB for integrating into the Network Management System 
(NMS) and supports SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c.
