NetOutlook SNMP Network Management Software

NetOutlook allows remote configuration of all hardware functionality, including the ability to override physical DIP-switch settings. Configurable parameters on iConverter modules include Auto-Negotiation, data rates, Duplex Modes and a variety of Link Fault Detection Modes.

Remote Configuration and Control

NetOutlook supports reporting of optical performance statistics on Small Form Pluggable (SFP) fiber transceivers with a digital diagnostic bus. Port and optical performance statistics reporting provides the ability to monitor bandwidth utilization, network performance and the link signal quality for each individual port.

A user-defined Module Identifier field is available to describe each module. This can include location and function information for subscriber and/or user identification.

Fixed module parameters that can be monitored include module type and model, manufacturing information, hardware and software revisions and serial numbers. Dynamic real-time parameters include link and data receive/transmit status, voltage, current and temperature.

Status and configuration information is monitored on a variety of module and chassis parameters. On iConverter modules equipped to collect individual Port MIB Statistics and real-time packet statistics are available to provide performance and operational monitoring. 802.3ah Performance Monitoring tools provide the detection and notification of link performance (quality) faults by setting error-per-second thresholds. Once the pre-set error threshold is exceeded, an event notification is generated that provides early indication of a problem that may be resolved prior to loss of service.

Monitoring and Reporting

By accessing the IP address of the NMM2, NetOutlook can manage all iConverter modules installed in the chassis. When the NMM2 is configured for Remote OAM management (Secure IP-less or 802.3ah), all NID modules connected via fiber links to the main chassis can be managed over an IP-less connection.

NetOutlook remotely accesses two types of iConverter management modules. These include the Network Management Module (NMM2), and Network Interface Devices (NIDs) with integrated management.

NetOutlook supports SNMPv1, SNMPv2c and SNMPv3. SMNPv3 provides secure access to network devices by a combination of authenticating and encrypting packets over the network.

Remote visibility of network operations enables Network Administrators to remotely monitor network status, configure hardware settings, and receive SNMP trap notifications of network events.

Comprehensive network monitoring and remote configuration tools provide the efficient detection and rapid isolation of potential service problems enabling Service Level Agreements (SLA). These features reduce network operating costs, and increase network reliability and availability.
