9 Preface Objectives and Reader Assumptions The AT&T Paradyne OneVision DCE Manager for HP OpenView Release 2.1 is a collection of tools that runs within the Hewlett-PackardOpenView network management system. The DCE Manager enhances your ability to manage the ACCULINK 3100 Series devices and, through the COMSPHERE 6700 Series Network Management System SNMP Proxy Agent Feature, the COMSPHERE 3550, 3600, 3800, and 3900 Series devices. This manual describes how to install and use the DCE Manager. It assumes that you are familiar with Features and functions of 3100 Series CSUs and DSU/CSUs, specifically as defined in Management Information Base (MIB) II, DS1/E1 MIB, RS-232-Like MIB, ATTDCE MIB, and Generic-Interface Extension MIB Features and functions of the 3550 Series DSUs, 3600 Series DSUs, 3800 Series modems, and 3900 Series modems, specifically as defined in the COMSPHERE 6700 Series NMS and Device MIBs Features and functions of Hewlett-Packard (HP) OpenView Administration of HP workstations or Sun workstations, including networking and Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) support The documents listed at the end of this section will help you become familiar with these topics. vi July A2-GB21-10

10 Preface How to Use This Manual The manual has the following sections: Chapter 1, Getting Started, describes the product s features hardware and software system requirements contents of the product package MIBs relevant to the DCE Manager installation and deinstallation of the product functions of the DCE Manager 3100 Series device rear-panel display help facilities Chapter 2, Discovering Devices, describes how the DCE Manager works with HP OpenView to discover 3100 Series and proxied devices. Chapter 3, Monitoring Health and Status, describes how to use the DCE Manager to determine the identity of devices and evaluate their performance. Chapter 4, Displaying and Setting Configuration, describes how to use the DCE Manager to check and set selected MIB variables of 3100 Series and proxied devices. Chapter 5, Using Loopback Modes and Pattern Tests, describes how to set loopback modes and send/monitor pattern tests to check the integrity and performance of devices. Chapter 6, Troubleshooting, demonstrates how to use loopback modes and pattern tests to isolate a problem to a device or the line. The chapter also lists the traps that the devices generate. Appendix A, Dialog MIB Values, identifies the MIB values used to generate the values that appear in the DCE Manager s displays. You should first read Chapter 1 in order to install the product and become familiar with its capabilities. Following that, read Chapter 2 to understand the issues related to discovery. You can then choose the chapters relevant to your needs. vii

The DCE Manager runs in conjunction with the HP OpenView Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Management Platform and the HP OpenView Network Node Manager, both of which use HP OpenView Windows as a graphical interface. The ACCULINK 3100 Series devices include the 316x Data Service Unit (DSU)/Channel Service Unit (CSU) and the 315x CSU. These devices support SNMP directly. The 355x DSUs, 36xx DSUs, 38xx modems, 39xx modems support SNMP indirectly through the COMSPHERE 6700 Series Network Management System SNMP Proxy Agent Feature software product as illustrated in Figure 1-1. These devices are referred to in this document as proxied devices. Note in Figure 1-1 that you can use the DCE Manager to manage the 6700 Series NMS as well as the devices. 1-1

16 DCE Manager for HP OpenView System Requirements Because the DCE Manager runs under HP OpenView on HP and Sun systems, the hardware and software requirements are basically those of HP OpenView. However, there are some additional things you need to consider, as described in the following sections. Refer to the individual device manuals for information on connecting devices to the network. Hardware Requirements The DCE Manager requires 35 Mb of hard disk space. Software Requirements The DCE Manager requires the following software: HP OpenView SNMP Management Platform, Release 3.31 HP OpenView Network Node Manager, Release 3.31 COMSPHERE 6700 Network Management System SNMP Proxy Agent Feature, Release 1.0 or higher (needed only if you want to manage 3550, 3600, 3800, or 3900 Series devices) Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) communication software (e.g., Morning Star PPP, Release 1.4) if you want to manage a 3100 Series device or connect to a 6700 Series NMS via a dial-up or direct serial connection Contents of Package The product package contains these components: AT&T Paradyne OneVision DCE Manager for HP OpenView Release 2.1 on multiple 3.5 disks for Sun systems or one 4 mm Digital Data Storage (DDS) tape for HP systems. OneVision DCE Manager for HP OpenView Application Guide. Software license agreement.
