CSMIM/Micro-CS Management Application Guide 5

Introduction

Annex Manager allows system administrators to monitor and conﬁgure the

Annexes in the network. It is a host-based, window oriented, conﬁguration

and management application designed to manage Bay Networks’ Annex

remote access communication servers.

Annex Manager offers the functionality of the older Annex host-based na

conﬁguration tool in an easier to use format. In addition, it provides basic

monitoring capabilities that were previously available only by connecting

directly to the Annex.

Annex Manager Features

Annex Manager offers advanced features through a graphical user

interface. It allows you to:

❑

Conﬁgure Annexes with Setup or Customize mode:

❑ Setup mode allows users to conﬁgure one or more

Annexes by setting the most commonly used parameters.

❑ Customize mode lets users set individual Annex

parameters and provides access to all main menu

commands.

❑

Simplify conﬁguration operations using pre-deﬁned parameter

groups.

❑

Create additional parameter groups for easy conﬁguration.

Notes provide important information.

Warnings inform you about conditions that can

have adverse effects on processing.

Cautions notify you about dangerous conditions.

Introduction

CSMIM/Micro-CS Management Application Guide 7

Annex Manager Environment

Annex Manager is an SNMP-based management application that uses the

X/Motif™ graphical environment for its user interface and the standard

SNMP protocol to send commands to the Annex. Since it is designed to

run stand-alone, Annex Manager includes statically-linked SNMP protocol

routines and the X/Motif™ binary libraries. The installation process copies

the appropriate binary executable and all the associated help and data ﬁles

from the distribution media to the workstation's disk storage. Although it is

not a requirement, you should consider installing Annex Manager on the

same workstation you use for the Annex software installation.

Annex Manager depends on the proprietary MIB deﬁned for the Annex and

on the various standard MIBs supported by the Annex. As such, Annex

Manager cannot manage other SNMP-manageable nodes in the network,

and is not intended to be a generic SNMP management tool.

Annex Manager may be loosely coupled with several standard network

management products such as SunNet Manager™,

HP/Openview™, or IBM Netview™ for AIX. However, Annex Manager is

not tightly integrated with these products.

System Requirements

Release 2.3 of Annex Manager is intended to run on a workstation running

BSD Unix (Sun Sparc, HP, RS/6000, SCO Unix). The following sections list

the hardware and software requirements for installing and running Annex

Manager.

Memory Requirements

You must have at least 10 MB of free disk space available prior to

installation.We recommend at least 32 MB of RAM, although speciﬁc

memory requirements vary depending on the type of workstation and the

other tasks that run concurrently with Annex Manager.

Annex Manager works best with a color monitor directly attached to the

workstation or a color X-window terminal connected to the UNIX host over

the network. Annex Manager also supports a grey-scale

X-window terminal attached to the workstation. Any X-window terminal

used with Annex Manager must have at least 2 MB of RAM.

Preface

8 CSMIM/Micro-CS Management Application Guide

Platforms

Annex Manager runs on the following platforms:

❑

SunOS 4.1.3C or 4.1.4, Solaris 2.4 with SunOS compatibility

mode, and Solaris 2.5.

❑

HP-UX 9.0.5 or 10.0.

❑

AIX 4.1.4.

❑

SCO/UNIX Release 3.2.

Sun Requirements

Annex Manager runs under SunOS and Solaris on SPARC Systems.

HP Requirements

Annex Manager runs under HP-UX 9.0.5 or 10.0 on HP 9000 Series 700

Workstations.

IBM Requirements

Annex Manager runs under AIX 4.1.4 on IBM RS/6000 workstations.

SCO Requirements

Annex Manager runs under SCO/Unix Release 3.2 and the X windowing

system. You should have a 486 CPU with 16 MB RAM, 20 MB of available

disk space, and a CD-ROM drive or a 3.5” ﬂoppy drive to install the software.
