About Device View
Device View provides an easy-to-use SNMP-based interface for managing
the connectivity devices in your network. Transcend Network Control
Services customizes the network management platform to add
meaningful symbols to the network map, and associate the symbols that
represent manageable devices with applications that support them.
When you manage a device, Device View creates an accurate graphical
representation of the hardware that enables you to view the status of
ports and indicators. You can use the picture to set up device and port
parameters, and collect detailed statistics.
The CoreBuilder 9000 16-slot chassis, 8-slot chassis, and 7-slot chassis
support frame-based technology with the Gigabit Ethernet Switch Fabric
Module, Fast Ethernet switching modules, and Gigabit Ethernet interface
modules.
The CoreBuilder 9000 16-slot chassis also supports cell-based technology
with the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Switch Fabric Module and
ATM Interface Modules. However, Device View only supports the
frame-based system.
