Network Management Platform
The Network Management Platform (NMP) is a universal tool, which allows monitoring and configuring all network devices of MICROSENS. The software provides an easy to use graphical interface and several intelligent functions which supports administrators in their daily work. The network management tool works with device lists, allowing grouping of devices in a tree structure. Depending on the organisation structure it is possible that one device can belong to one or several groups. Therefore settings can be made globally and be assigned to multiple devices simultaneously. All MICROSENS devices are automatically detected by the discovery function. Even devices without IP-address are listed and can be configured. The enhanced SNMP functions allow managing of all devices from the Enterprise Networks, Industrial Solutions, Enterprise Access and Metro Networks with the same tool.
Furthermore the new management platform has an Integrated Topology Manager. With this devices can be placed graphically on any map and can be connected together. It is also possible to monitor individual ports and their connections beside the standard operating parameters. The MICROSENS 10G Platform can be managed through SNMP or the MICROSENS Network Management Platform (NMP), which includes a Java-based GUI Terminal. The management card has two Ethernet ports and one local RS232 port and is hot swappable. The CLI is an intuitive Command Line Interface with embedded help and automatic completion allowing complete management of the network element (administration, alarms, configuration, monitoring, Inventory). The CLI can be accessed locally through an RS232 port for initial configuration or through a management network via an SSH connection. The OSC Transponder is an Ethernet switch with three ports. The Ethernet Switch has three electrical ports. The first one is connected to the backplane connector to communicate with the MGNT board through the backplane. The two other ports are connected to the two SFP interfaces which perform the Electrical to Optical conversion.
