SynOptics Network Management Products
SynOptics offers its own network management product, called Optivity, as well as support for the Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which is an industry standard protocol.
Optivity
Optivity is a software package for the management of SynOptics networks. Just as the Model 3395
Terminal Server is integrated into the System 3000 hub, management of the Model 3395 Terminal Server
is integrated into the Optivity network management application. Optivity is designed to work with popular
UNIX- and DOS-based management platforms such as Sun Microsystem's SunNet Manager, Novell's
NetWare Management System, IBM's NetView/6000, and Hewlett-Packard's OpenView.
Contact your local SynOptics representative for more information on Optivity.
SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an Internet protocol defined by RFC1157 that
specifies how network management information is carried through a network. Model 3395 Terminal
Servers store information defined in RFC 1213, Management Information Base (MIB), as well as many
other standard and Model 3395 MIBs. This information is available when requested through SNMP.
Refer to the software documentation supplied with your Model 3395 Terminal Server for more information
about SNMP support.
