Network Management

DOMAINVIEW MANAGEMENT MODULE

Effective network management is an essential ingredient if any network is to be truly successful.

The Case Communications 9200 Domain Module enables DomainView systems to fully manage Case Communications 9200 TDM networks. The module is available for both DomainView (Sun SPARC based) and for DomainView-PC (PC Windows NT-based) systems.

Features

• Link management
• Network learn facility
• Message window
• Interactive pictures
• Event paring
• Context sensitive help

Interactive pictures

The module fully supports all the features of DomainView. Included in the module are fully interactive pictures of the 9200 for both front and rear views. These provide a true to life representation of 9200 nodes showing the units status. For example, if an aggregate is out of service the appropriate port on the rear of the unit will be shown in red rather than the usual green colour.

High functionality

Full support is provided for all the functionality offered by the Foundation System:

• Configuration management
• Fault management
• Performance management

Configuration access

The module provides full access to the configuration of 9200 modules through the interactive picture. This enables 9200 networks to be configured in a fast and efficient manor with the minimum learning curve. Full on-line help is available for all configuration dialogue boxes to ensure that even inexperienced users can make full use of the system.

Link management

The module provides comprehensive link management facilities. This enables the status of 9200 links to be shown graphically on the network map. For example, links will normally be shown as green but if they go out of service their colour will change to red.

Auto discovery

The module provides an automatic discovery tool. This enables DomainView systems to automatically learn both the network configuration and node configurations. This enables a DomainView system to be easily added an already installed network.

Fault management

Faults that are generated by the 9200 are passed to the 9200 management application and stored in the DomainView database. Additional access is available to the fault log database for generating performance reports and event logs. Real time event logs can be generated by DomainView on an attached event log printer.

DomainView continuously checks the 9200 installation for status and immediately reports any loss of connectivity or other System 9000 error conditions.

Event pairing

The DomainView 9200 module supports event pairing. The management module attempts to match line restoral events with line outage events. When successful the status of the line will be restored to a normal display state.

Message window

The message window displays a continually updated summary of all event information collected by DomainView for all the managed nodes represented on the network map.
