Overview
MegaVision is a network management application. Its main function is managing a specific
set of supported devices, however, it can discover and perform many functions with virtually
any vendor SNMP or TCP/IP devices. It provides you with the consistent view of your whole
network, helps with its configuration, monitoring and troubleshooting. This manual contains
only generic MegaVision information, which is applicable to the whole system and all
managed devices. For multiple details about different devices management please refer to
MegaVision online HELP.
There are two basic versions of MegaVision: MegaVision-WEB and MegaVision Classic.
MegaVision-WEB
MegaVision-WEB runs on Win95/Win98/WinNT/Win2000. However, its rich GUI (graphical
user interface) can be accessed on ANY platform (see below).
There are two different ways, which MegaVision-WEB GUI can be accessed:
1. Local GUI is provided on the same PC, which is running MegaVision-WEB.
2. Remote WEB-Console GUI can be accessed from any computer (any OS, including
UNIX, Linux...), which is capable of running Java-enabled WEB-browser (like
Netscape or Internet Explorer). There is NO specific console software required. Just
start your WEB-browser and point it to the address: "http://<IP Address>/", where
<IP Address> is IP Address of the PC MegaVision-WEB is running on. This feature
allows to monitor/configure your network from any point in the world, which has
Internet/Intranet connection. It also allows managing supported devices from
standard NMS platforms (such as HP OV NNM UNIX, please see below)
MegaVision Classic
MegaVision Classic is an older version of MegaVision. It is kept mostly for backward
compatibility and capability of native integration with some NMS platforms.
MegaVision Classic runs on Win3.1/ Win95/Win98/WinNT/Win2000
MegaVision Classic can be installed as:
1. Standalone MS-Windows application. In this configuration it provides its own
mapping, alarm color-handling and polling capabilities. MegaVision Classic
Standalone version is kept for backward compatibility only. It is strongly
recommended using MegaVision-WEB as a standalone application.
MegaVision-WEB local GUI has all the capabilities of MegaVision Classic Standalone
and much more.
2. Plug-in application for HP OpenView Windows (version 7.1 and higher, including HP
OV Professional Suite).
3. Plug-in application for Castle Rock SNMPc 4.x or SNMPc NT 5.x.
4. Plug-in application for Cabletron SPECTRUM 4.0 rev1 and higher (WinNT 3.51).
5. Plug-in application for HP OV NNM (WinNT, Win2000).
When working as plug-in application MegaVision uses mapping and alarm color handling
features provided by the corresponding NMS platform.
