ATM Change Management

The Nways Campus Manager ATM provides a quick way to download code upgrades in the IBM ATM switches through the network (inband). Then it allows easy problem fixes or function enhancements on the IBM ATM switches that have the control point code.

ATM Network Monitoring and Statistics Management

The ATM Campus Manager application provides key performance counters.

Nways Campus Manager ATM allows you to collect statistical information and display it in a more readable graphical format. Below is a list of some of the different types of information that it can collect:

Logging of calls

All calls, that is calls in progress and calls that have been cleared, on a node can be logged with information, such as calling and called number, creation time, clear time and clear cause.

Traffic

Statistics on an interfaces traffic can be gathered with information, such as received and transmit cells, discarded cells and invalid cells.

Bandwidth

Information about the amount of bandwidth that is utilized on a port can be found.

Q2931 Status

Information on the incoming and outgoing calls in progress can be collected.

SAAL Errors

Information on the various errors detected by SAAL can be collected.

The data can be saved in a file as well. The availability of performance information from the Nways Campus Manager ATM enhances the ATM network by facilitating network tuning.

ATM Connection Tracking

Connections can be selected and tracked. The endpoints and all the intermediate nodes used by a connection can be graphically displayed.

Nways Campus Manager ATM allows you to perform the following connection tracking functions:

List and delete SVCs

Show the characteristics of SVCs, such as the calling and called party and QoS parameters

List, delete and create PVCs

Show the characteristics of a PVC

Track the connection including the VPI/VCI labels of each segment of the connection and what physical ports the connection goes through
