Overview
SYNCHRONY Network Management System PLUS (SNMS+) provides comprehensive network
administration and management for the SYNCHRONY and LINK product families. SNMS+ is
designed to scale between small to very large networks. SNMS+ utilizes TimePlex's Common
Management Architecture (CMA) which allows various levels of user access and management
capabilities from centralized or distributed locations. SNMS+ alerts network managers to
network and service issues quickly and effectively via intuitive graphical user
interfaces, Web-based reports and intelligent information processing.
SNMS+ allows network managers to configure, monitor and troubleshoot the interfaces,
devices and services on their network to get a unified view of the network, ranging from
the entire network down to a single port. Combining SNMS+ with the features and
flexibility of SNMP based systems delivers a superior solution for managing enterprise
networks, providing network managers the tools to minimize network downtime and ensure
maximum network efficiency.
Web-Based Reports
Customers can generate and view web-based equipment inventory reports, using a Netscape or
Internet Explorer browser. An equipment inventory report provides details of device type,
modules and daughtercards, revision level and serial numbers, port types (V.35, V.11,
Ethernet, TR, etc.).
INL (Inter Nodal Links) performance reports show the bandwidth utilization between
backbone products characterizing TDM and Frame Relay bandwidth in use. The Voice
utilization report displays the number of DSP engines currently being utilized for voice
compression and the voice compression algorithms in use. The Frame Relay performance
report provides the network manager an insight to Frame Relay statistics (frames sent,
frames received, number of BECN and FECN, DE packets) and Frame Relay line utilization
showing CIR and EIR traffic. SNMS+ performance and utilization reports provide the network
manager an insight to future capacity planning.
The alarm event summary report provides a list of alarms and events for any device in
the network. Filters may be established based upon alarm, severity, or device to assist
the network operator to troubleshoot network problems.
Web-based reporting allows the user the flexibility to display, export, print or save
to an ASCII file any reports requested.
