1 Overview
Device Manager is a device management application that lets you manage Allied Telesis'
hubs, switches and routers using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). You can
perform various operations on the devices from an intuitive graphical user interface. Since
Device Manager is written in Java, it runs on multiple platforms, including Windows, Solaris
and HP-UX, and provides a common look and feel on all supported platforms.
Device Manager can be used with an integrated network management platform such as HP
OpenView or as a standalone application.
This User's Guide describes the functions and operations common to all managed devices.
For device-specific operations, please refer to the ATI Device Management Guide.
