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 or TCP/IP to collect configuration and management data from
supported systems. It converts the data into the Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP). In addition, it generates SNMP traps when supported systems generate alarms.
DPA then communicates the SNMP data to DNM, which resides on the Network
Management System (NMS) network server. The NMS network server can be either a
UNIX system or a UNIX stand-alone system.
