T/MonXM 4.7 User Manual

T/Mon NOC with T/MonXM

Description

See alarms as they occur

and quickly obtain emer-

gency procedure instruc-

tions.

T/MonXM supports many

Ethernet applications.

T/MonXM is an affordable dual-function network monitoring mas-

ter that provides network managers with instantaneous and compre-

hensive network status information while supporting full archiving

and control functions. Its windowing features allow operators to see

alarms as they occur and quickly obtain emergency procedure

instructions.

T/MonXM runs on the T/Mon NOC and IAM hardware platform.

This workstation is appropriate for use as the main polling master in

a large telecom network management center or as a local monitor in

a central office. It is designed to be easily updated and/or enhanced

by adding software modules and hardware boards.

This User Manual for T/MonXM Version 4.6 has been updated

throughout to reflect the many new features and system enhance-

ments that have been added to T/MonXM. The structure and style

of the manual has also been updated to make it a more useful guide

to T/MonXM. New task-oriented sections have been written to

guide users through system set-up and configuring their system for

specific applications.

We especially recommend that new T/MonXM users begin by fol-

lowing the instructions in the T/MonXM New Installations and

Software Setup Quick Start Guides at the beginning of the manual.

New users should begin

with the Quick Start

Guides at the front of the
