Prior to this feature, the client workstation could only be connected to one server

known as the Active Server.

The Remote Monitor feature provides the user with the ability to monitor Alerts,

Calls, and Security Events. Status Server device profiles can also be viewed.

In addition to all the features of the 6700 Series NMS, the Remote Monitor

feature provides the following capabilities:

Platform/Network Performance Monitoring

Knowledge of more than one NMS server

The interface between the client and the server is accomplished via a TCP/IP

communication stack. The NMS server manages network information.
