Using Management
iView² is a network management application for IMC Networks intelligent
networking devices. It features a GUI and gives network managers the ability
to monitor and control products from a variety of platforms.
Using iView² with HP OpenView
During the installation, the iView² application will ask if HP OpenView is
installed on the management PC. Click Yes to integrate the appropriate files.
Once in OpenView, highlight the media converter icon and select the media
converter; OpenView will then launch iView².
Other NMS Applications
If using an application other than iView² for management, integrate the
SNMP vendor MIBs, which can be found in the MIB subdirectory of iView²
installed on the chosen hard drive of a workstation.
Refer to the application's documentation for information on how MIB files
are integrated.
Update Manager
iView² offers the option of scheduling an update search for IMC Networks devices
listed in the Network outline. Within iView², select
Tools/SNMP Options
from the
navigation toolbar. Select
Update Manager Options
, and a dialog box will be
displayed, in which you can select when to run the update search. This option
enables the end user to determine if they have the latest firmware, and download the
latest if they do not. It does not automatically run the download, so the end user can
review the release notes included with the binary file, and decide whether to
download it or not.
UMA (Unified Management Agent)
The UMA allows operators to manage all IMC Networks modules with on-board logic
(iMcV-GigaFiberLinX-II series) installed in an IMC Networks iMediaChassis, with a
single IP address from a central location. Centralized management makes practical
sense for networks of all sizes, especially service provider networks that must monitor
and upgrade large quantities of devices. In addition, UMA allows users to centrally
manage and administer firmware upgrades over multiple devices.
For example, the user can install ten iMcV-Giga-FiberLinX-II devices in a 20 slot
iMediaChassis at the Central Office (CO) and connect each to a remote Giga-
AccessEtherLinX-II unit installed at the customer’s premises equipment (CPE). UMA
allows users to manage all 20 devices (including the chassis at the CO) via the single
