Network Management System

OptiCore is a Network Management System (NMS) developed
solely by

ZyXEL

, for the MSAP2000 System. The COT’s RJ-45

port provides connection to the NMS. Operators may use
OptiCore’s GUI (Graphical User Interface) to remotely operate
MSAP2000, and conduct various operation and management
functions. After the COT receives commands from OptiCore via
SNMP MIB, it will dispatch the commands to the various RTs, for
system management.
