You use the Administration Console software to configure your system

 

parameters (or, on the CoreBuilder 9000, to configure your module

 

parameters) and display statistics and counters.

 

For more complete network management, you can use an external

 

application, such as 3Com’s Transcend® Network Control Services tool

 

suite.
