NT/MPRI – 5 Connection Management and Monitoring 76
5.2 Management and Monitoring Functions
The “Monitoring” menu provides detailed information about the server
status, current routing tables and services, active physical connec-
tions, connection status, cost/connection data and events. The
NT/MPRI also features a packet trace function.
In addition to management over HTTP, the NT/MPRI also provides infor-
mation over SNMP. If you enable SNMP access, authorized computers
equipped with network management software can be granted access
to the NT/MPRI and download all data defined in the MIB II (Manage-
ment Information Base) standard.
When using additional SNMP based management products, SNMP ac-
cess must be activated on the NT/MPRI first (“Configuration / Security
/ SNMP Access”). By default, SNMP access is disabled for the sake of
security. When SNMP access is disabled, all SNMP requests are passed
on to the Microsoft TCP/IP stack.
A logical and physical ISDN connection exists to this call desti-
nation. This means that the ISDN B channel or the ADSL chan-
nel is in use and connection charges are accumulating. The di-
rection of the arrow indicates the direction of the call (the
icons shown here indicate outgoing connections).
No more outgoing calls are possible (incl. D-channel signaling)
because one of the global thresholds or a call destination
budget limit has been reached.
Details
Configuration and statistical information about the connection (such as the IP
address assigned, active B channels and charges) are listed under “Details”.
Available Commands
Depending on the connection status, various commands can be activated
here: set up/clear down a connection, ping a remote workstation, etc. For in-
formation on the available commands, see the Online Help.
Event Log
When connections are set up or interrupted manually, these operations can
be monitored here directly.
