About a Web Portal

A web portal for the dial NMS is a combination of CGI scripts and HTML links used to support a dial Internet access service.

As the number of devices and applications in a network increase, the operations support team may become inundated with a myriad of management products. To support a dial service, a web portal provides easy access to:

•Product manuals, design guides, white papers, and troubleshooting guides.

•Light-weight tools and scripts.

•Network policies, procedures, and reports.

•Periodic and just-in-time reporting.

`The help desk can access operational information (for example, current connected caller status).

`The operations staff can report on current service levels.
