Overview
New Features in SPECTRUM 6.0
Software Release Notes Page 19
Increased Model Capacity
The number of model handles (not models) that a single SpectroSERVER
can manage has been increased from approximately 250,000 to
approximately 1,000,000. This extends the number of model handles that
an application can use. It does not increase the number of device models
that a SpectroSERVER can manage.
Performance Increased on Database Tools
Dbtool runs more efficiently because the database is no longer opened to
eliminate .e files (packing/unpacking). This increases performance on
database loading/saving and other dbtool functions.
Reduce Unnecessary Gen_IF_Ports Link-Down
Traps
A new Boolean attribute, "AlarmOnLinkDnTrap" has been added to the
Gen_IF_Port model type which greatly reduces the amount of generated
alarms by not forwarding trap events derived from GenSnmpRouters such
as Rtr_Cisco.
EtherMap Moved To New Enumerated Attribute
The MAC address vendor ID to vendor name mappings has been moved to
a new enumerated attribute called, Vendor_Name_To_ID_Map, in the MAC
address model type. This mapping now becomes an integral part of the
SPECTRUM database, rather than being stored in an external file. This
improves the data integrity and manageability of this information.
User Interface Help
SPECTRUM applications now have concise contextual and Hints help that
enable a user to gain understanding on what fields, buttons, processes,
windows, dialogs, etc. are without having to read user manual
documentation.
