Specialized interfaces for MAX configuration and
network management
Depending on how you intend to use your MAX unit, you might need additional management
tools for monitoring network activities. This section summarizes information about some of
the commonly used tools for MAX management and refers to other information resources.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
You can use Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) applications to get information
from the MAX, enhance security, set alarms for specified conditions, and perform simple
configuration tasks.
TAOS software supports the Ascend Enterprise MIB, MIB II, and ancillary SNMP features.
The MAX can send management information to an SNMP manager without being polled.
For information about using SNMP, see the Administration Guide.
Syslog host reporting
The Syslog reporting facility, originally a UNIX-based daemon, is now available for Microsoft
Windows servers and workstations, and is supported by TAOS.
You can use the Syslog facility running on a Syslog host to receive call and system event
messages from the MAX. Syslog messages are recorded during the establishment of a call,
during graceful or unexpected disconnection, and during various other events.
See the Administration Guide for information about using Syslog.
Navis network management applications
The Lucent Technologies Navis™ suite of network management applications provides
graphical user interfaces for monitoring, diagnosing, and controlling devices and services on
the network.
Contact your Lucent Technologies representative or visit the Lucent Technologies Web site at

for information about Navis network management
applications.
RADIUS-based products
RADIUS software can be used to extend and enhance authentication and accounting services
for MAX users.
For information about the RADIUS support in TAOS, see the TAOS RADIUS Guide and
Reference and the Network Configuration Guide. For information about the Navis RADIUS
application, contact your Lucent Technologies representative or visit the Lucent Technologies
