Conventions
The family of SPECTRUM Portable Management Applications can work with a
number of different network management systems running on several different
operating systems and graphical user interfaces. This versatility presents two
documentation problems: Þrst, there is no standard terminology; and second, the
appearance of the windows will differ based on the graphical interface in use. For
the sake of consistency, the following conventions will be followed throughout
this and other SPMA guides.
NOTE
Graphing capabilities are provided by an application that is included in HP Network
Node Manager and IBM NetView; therefore, graphs are only available when SPMA is
run in conjunction with one of these network management platforms. If you are running
SPMA in a stand-alone mode or in conjunction with SunNet Manager or Solstice
Enterprise Manager, no graphing options will be displayed on buttons or menus. Note
that the screens displayed in this guide will include the graph-related options where they
are available; please disregard these references if they do not apply.
