The
AS4000/AS4020 systems are managed by AS8200 Netspan, using an IP based
protocol for connection over a network.
Netspan runs on a Windows 2000 PC equipped with SQL server software.
The server connects to the AS4020 using an Ethernet interface. Client
PCs are connected to the server over an IP link.
Configuration of AS4020 is through the management system as are alarms,
performance and statistics. In a future release alarms, performance
and statistics will be accessible through the management system or
via SNMP.
AS8200 NetSpan has the capability of simultaneously managing multiple
AS4020 systems.
All of the systems alarms are sent to and acknowledged by the management
system.
The management system allows visibility of all alarms, and provides
navigation and support to identify the cause of the alarm.
AS4020 system statistics and status are all requested by the management
system at a programmable interval. The management system presents
the data in either tables or a graphical form, allowing the user to
filter out events. All of the alarm and statistics data can be logged
to file. |
