Device
Administration
Whilst 3Com Network Administrator provides administration functions
that apply to a range of your 3Com devices, you may want specific
control of the details on a single device. For this reason, 3Com Network
Administrator provides access to the following specific applications in
order to obtain detailed control:
■ Telnet Management
■ Web Management
■ 3Com Device View
■ 3Com Switch Manager
■ 3Com Router Manager
■ Network Jack Configuration
3Com Network Administrator also includes a feature called Device
Warranty. This feature enables you to register your 3Com devices for any
applicable warranty.
For more information on the administration functions see “
Device
Administration” on page 61.
For more information on 3Com Device View, see Appendix B on
page 251
.
Importing and
Refreshing
Importing is a convenient way of retrieving just the 3Com devices from
your HP OpenView database. You can also import information from a
CSV file.
Refreshing is the term 3Com Network Administrator uses for retrieving
detailed information from your 3Com devices. This information is then
presented in the Device Window and in the reports that 3Com Network
Administrator provides.
For more information, see “
Importing and Refreshing Devices” on
page 87
