Introduction 1

What is the Multiuser Feature?

The COMSPHERE 6700 Multiuser feature gives you the ability to connect

multiple Windows workstations together to form a network of NMS users. With

this feature, each user’s workstation has a complete graphical interface that

interacts with the NMS as if it were a single user workstation.

The Multiuser feature consists of two separately orderable packages: Server and

Client.

You can install the Multiuser Server and Client packages on the COMSPHERE

6700 Series NMS at any time.

The Multiuser feature supports up to six simultaneous users. In addition, the

software provides statistical data and Platform/Network Performance Monitoring.

Feature List

In addition to all the features of the 6700 Series NMS, the Multiuser feature

provides the following capabilities:

Integrated TCP/IP, UDP/IP, and SNMP

Concurrent Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI, SLIP, and PPP interfaces

Support for various network adapter vendors

User-definable configuration via the COMSPHERE 6700 Series NMS

Network Configuration feature

Seamless multiuser (up to 6 users) via LAN and/or RS-232 connections via

SLIP and/or PPP

RS-232 Gateway to LAN via SLIP and/or PPP allowing dial-up multiuser

Full graphical user interface features at all multiuser workstations

Platform/Network Performance Monitoring

Knowledge of more than one NMS server

User-selectable active NMS server

Sample Multiuser Network Topologies

When using the Multiuser feature, one workstation must be configured as the

NMS

server

where the NMS database resides and the control channels are

connected. The server is also the point of interface with all NMS devices.

All other networked workstations must be configured as an NMS

client

, which

executes only the user interface portion of the NMS.

Figures 1-1, 1-2, and 1-3 show some sample Multiuser feature network

topologies.
