Pro Switching System software running on a PC under HP OpenView for Windows
mediates System Management.
OpenView is an open software product, allowing you to manage devices from
different vendors. It allows you to create a map of the network using a supplied set
of icons. A color code indicates the status of each device in the network.
The Pro Switching System network management can control up to 256 sites,
each comprising up to 256 interconnected racks. You interact with the system via
the map icons and a series of subordinate screen displays.
