ITG MAT PC management configuration
553-3001-202 Standard 1.00 April 2000
MAT network setup guidelines
Install MAT in a standalone mode or in a network environment. For ITG
Trunk 2.0 card, install MAT in a network environment, so you can manage
multiple ITG nodes, provide multi-user access and maintain ITG
configuration data consistency.
In the network environment, MAT stores databases on a file server. Do not
use the server to access MAT as a client PC. MAT 6.6 with Windows 95 or
Windows NT 4.0 clients are supported running on:
• Novell 3.12 or later server
• Windows NT server
• OTM 1.0 client requires an OTM server
MAT Remote Access configuration
Support for remote access can be covered in two scenarios that vary
according to the support organizations access to the customer’s data network
LAN or WAN. In the first scenario, the support organization has full access
to the customer LAN/WAN network and a single remote support and
administration MAT PC can administer a local node via the ITG Management
LAN or a remote node via the WAN. The remote access capabilities are
provided via a modem router that has access to any of the ITG Management
LANs. The Remote MAT PC connects to the ITG Management over a PPP
link and then communicates to the ITG cards the same as does a local MAT
PC on the ITG Management LAN. The IP address provided by the modem
router (for example, Nortel Networks Netgear RM356 Modem Router) to the
remote MAT ITG PC is configured in the modem router and in the SNMP
Manager’s list of the ITG cards. All management communications including
alarms are sent over this channel.
In the second scenario, the support organization is denied access to the
customer LAN/WAN network for security reasons. In this case a local MAT
PC on an ITG Management LAN has access to only the ITG cards on the local
node. In this case, a private IP address can be used for the MAT PC since
management and alarm traffic would never have to travel over any network
other than the private ITG Management LAN. A modem can be used to
connect the remote MAT PC to the local MAT PC with remote access
software such as PC Anywhere running in client-server mode between the
