DPA is a protocol conversion resource. It resides on a stand-alone personal computer and
operates on the UnixWare operating system.
DPA uses serial ports and TCP/IP ports to collect configuration and management data
from supported systems. It converst the data into the Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP). In addition, DPA generates SNMP traps when supported systems
generate alarms and system errors.
DPA then communicates the SNMP data to DNM, which resides on the Network
Management System (NMS) network server. The NMS network server can be
NT/Windows 2000.
