Compatibility of NMS and Device Loads The AlliedView Network Management System (NMS)
1-7
AlliedView NMS Administration Guide (Product Overview)
Caution: At the device, there is a user name and password used to access the device, and this name/
password is used by all NMS users when accessing a device. To enable NMS users to query and
control a device, the device name and password must be at a security officer level. Failure to do
so may make certain operations performed at the NMS on a device to fail.
1.4.2 Compatibility of NMS and Device Loads
All of the tables in this Section about device support always assume that the NMS 12.0 load is being used. This is to ensure
that the NMS can support the latest version of a device.
Caution: Always ensure that you have the latest NMS load (12.0). If you upgrade a device to the loads
listed in Table 1-5 and are not running NMS 12.0, the NMS may not be able to manage the device.
1.4.3 Setting Web Browser Caching
The web browser caching function should be set to always check for updates from the server before retrieving content from
cache. Refer to the AlliedView NMS User Guide for details.
1.4.4 Using Default Prompt for Device Account Used by AlliedView NMS
Caution: One feature for AT and iMAP devices is the ability to change their default prompts to a custom
string. For AT devices, the default prompt ends with “>” and is required, and therefore should
not be changed/eliminated. For iMAP devices, there are no restrictions.
