What is the Multiuser Feature?
The COMSPHERE 6700 Multiuser feature gives you the ability to connect
multiple Windows workstations together to form a network of NMS users. With
this feature, each user’s workstation has a complete graphical interface that
interacts with the NMS as if it were a single user workstation.
The Multiuser feature consists of two separately orderable packages: Server and
Client.
You can install the Multiuser Server and Client packages on the COMSPHERE
6700 Series NMS at any time.
The Multiuser feature supports up to six simultaneous users. In addition, the
software provides statistical data and Platform/Network Performance Monitoring.
