Network Management Systems

DCE Manager, Paradyne's Network Management System, communicates via SNMP to the RTU to update the IP configuration table. Display of the remote RTU and the use of the injection tool are features of this product.

The NMS workstation is typically connected to a router and the NMS can easily access devices on other subnets. If the NMS is connected to other hardware, such as a hub, then the explicit routes to the other subnets must be defined on the system that has the NMS.

To create the routes that would be discovered with a router connection, the DCE Manager must have access to the MCC backplane s1b subnet in the DSLAM. The MCC card acts as the gateway to add the first route to gain connectivity to the DSL cards and remote RTUs. Open a DOS window and enter the command Route.
