INM Broadband Release 4.1 PG OC 98-13 Issue 1.2
The INM Broadband Release 4.1 builds on top of INM Release 3.1 and INA
Transport Release 2.0 to provide an open (multi-technology, multi-vendor)
network management product with standards-based CORBA interfaces.
The INM Release 4.1 Graphical User Interface continues to be provided by the
GNB and GNE. These tools and their supporting daemons reside on the same
workstation and do not use CORBA services. As for the INM CORBA
applications, they run in a CORBA environment running Iona’s Orbix 2.3.
INM Broadband Release 4.1, in addition to the CORBA based application
building blocks, provides systems management capabilities which offer the
following services through the Application Management Building Block
(AMBB):
• Starting/stopping applications
• Building Block Configuration
• Building Block logging
The AMBB offers some of the useful services that were previously provided
by Hewlett Packard’s FUI (Front-End User Interface) with the INA program.
