VMS Service Managers
5-26 VMS User Guide
InBand management allows Application Policies and Distribution Lists to be
selected on a remote site-level basis and allows the system operator to enable
and disable mesh and upstream switching or use policies/lists for selected
remotes that differ from the global policies/lists. These site-level policies and
lists are established using the Subnet Manager.
Subnet Manager
The Subnet Manager provides a tree view from which the operator can drill
down to investigate alarms. Device management can easily be performed from
this view as it displays significant device parameters on the right side of the
screen shown figure 5-37.
Clicking on the Subnet Manager icon in either the right or left column of
ViperView displays a view of all subnets, the status of the switching modulator,
the type of switch, if any, and the current transmitting bit rate and frequency.

Tip: You can create a separate window, shown in figure 5-36, to display the
information in the right panel of Viperview by right-clicking the icon, then
selecting Open from the drop-down menu. This window can then be
placed anywhere on your desktop and will continue to display its contents
after you move on to other tasks.
