Management Features
Backplane Management Bus
The SpectraComm 5000 shelves provide a backplane management bus for transferring management
data between an SCM card and the managed devices in the shelf. The SCM card functions as an
SNMP agent for the control of a variety of compatible devices. The SCM card also provides the
terminal interface for most devices, including the SC800 T3.
Discovery and Polling
The SCM card performs network discovery for compatible elements located in the shelf and stores
element information in its local database. The user can access this information by means of the SCM
Management Information Base (MIB) and a MIB browser. After initial discovery, the SCM card
polls slot addresses for any alarms and statistical data on network elements.
Auto Configuration
The SCM card stores a copy of the configuration data for any SC800 T3 card installed in its shelf.
When a SC800 T3 card is removed from the shelf and replaced with another SC800 T3 card in the
same slot, the SCM card automatically configures the new DSU with the Network, Channel, and
Alarm Configuration option settings that were in effect for the old DSU. Auto-configuration is not
available for the remote unit.
Note
For comprehensive information on SCM functionality, refer to the SCM Installation and Operation Manual.
SNMP MIBs
The software of the SC800 T3 includes Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Management Information Base (MIB) files that enable control by an SNMP network controller. A
SpectraComm Manager (SCM) card is required to access the MIBs.
Terminal Interface
When there is a SCM card co-located with the SC800 T3 DSU, a terminal interface to the SCM will
provide a Shelf Inventory screen from which the DSU can be selected. The resulting SC800 T3
menus and screens allow you to monitor, configure and otherwise control DSU operation. This
terminal interface is accessed via a Telnet connection to the co-located SCM or through a craft
connection to the SCM front panel CTRL port.
Management via TEAM Software
The SC800 T3 DSU can be managed through TEAM software applications (TEAM Core and
TEAM 800 software) which provide a GUI interface for Discovery and Mapping functions of
TEAM Applications within the HP OpenView framework. TEAM applications use Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP) to configure and control the operation of SpectraComm
devices through the SCM card that shares the same shelf as those network elements.
All TEAM applications use the HP OpenView APIs (Application Programmer Interfaces) to
integrate with HP OpenView Windows and other network management applications. Menu items
are accessed via pulldown menus from the appropriate HP OpenView submap or from a Front Panel
toolbar.
Note

Operation Manuals and Release Notes.
