Today's volatile business environment requires efficient network troubleshooting. To meet that requirement, Harris offers Harris Network Management (HNM)/StarScan -- a flexible network management system that provides a graphical representation of heterogeneous networks down to the card level.
HNM/StarScan is the tool that allows the network technician to manage the entire network from one monitoring station. The HNM/StarScan system includes a CMIP manager, providing CMISE compliance, for the management of SONET and other network devices that utilize CMIP. LANs and WANs are easily incorporated using the SNMP manager for TCP/IP and SNA® manager for IBM NetView®. HNM/StarScan's 4GL scripting language provides management of network devices utilizing proprietary protocols. The 4GL scripting language also provides management of network devices utilizing non- proprietary protocols such as TBOS and TABS. HNM/StarScan provides an Expert System Interface permitting automated responses to network alarms. An Application Programmers Interface is used to enable the end-user to develop applications that interface to HNM/StarScan. With HNM/StarScan, operators no longer need to memorize an array of codes and commands to manage a network. Point-and-click mouse operations allow the operator to access detailed pull-down menus and update data fields. These features allow HNM/StarScan to integrate numerous network devices into one network management system.
HNM/StarScan operates on the UNIX operating system and adds Open Software Foundation (OSF)/Motif and Xwindows presentation software, along with an industry standard relational database engine. The system is compatible over a wide range of computing hardware platforms including the Intel 486, IBM RISC System/6000, Sun SPARC, and Hewlett Packard. HNM/StarScan follows a client/server architecture, allowing maximum flexibility in the design and implementation of the desired network management architecture.
