Network Management
There are two major ways of managing the DeskStream:
1. Using Trueview/32
2. Using the command line interface.
There is no 16-bit Trueview device manager for DeskStream and so it
can only be managed with Trueview/32 - the 32-bit version.
This is just another device manager and is used in the same way that
other device managers are used in Trueview.
Trueview itself can be integrated into higher level network
management software, e.g. HP OpenView and Tivoli NetView. Using
one of these to access a Madge device will bring up the Trueview
device manager.
The command line interface can be used via a null modem
connection to the 9-pin serial interface on the back of the
DeskStream, or using IP and Telnet through the normal network
ports. The content is the same.
