Management Domain Features
3
Overview
This chapter describes the following features that are supported in the
management domain:
Network Management Systems (NMSs)
Applications for Diagnostics
Network Management Systems — SNMP and
DCE Manager
You may want to use an SNMP NMS to simplify the operation and management
of very large networks. In a UNIX environment you may use HP OpenView
(UNIX) as your NMS with Paradyne’s DCE Manager, or in a Windows
environment, HP OpenView (MS-Windows) with Paradyne’s DCE Manager. The
HotWire DSLAM and HotWire RTUs provide features for the DCE Manager to
allow you to monitor and manage your network from a central point.
The following lists some of the features of DCE Manager:
Graphical User Interface (GUI) showing physical representation of the
HotWire DSLAM and each active card
Multiple integrated functions to provide on-demand health and status
information
Color-coded graphic representations to provide instant visual status
Loopback and pattern tests via telnet to help isolate problems quickly
Integrated management optimizes network performance and availability
Direct telnet support
