StormTracker-Spectrum Manager
Part of the StormSystem family of intelligent IP solutions, the StormTracker-
Spectrum Manager software is used to "fine-tune" the performance of
EtherLoop modems. The StormTracker-Spectrum Manager supports the
following major functions:
• adjust EtherLoop modem signal transmission to maximize protection from
signal interference caused by other high-speed data services in the same
binder group as the EtherLoop lines
• maximize bandwidth available for EtherLoop modem signal transmission
in binder groups with no other high-speed data services
The StormTracker-Spectrum Manager software is an optional BitStorm
Server component and is purchased separately from the BitStorm Server. The
StormTracker-Spectrum Manager User Guide contains the complete
instructions for using the StormTracker-Spectrum Manager software.
StormTracker-Site Manager
Part of the StormSystem family of intelligent IP solutions, the StormTracker-
Site Manager software group is used to build and manage the EtherLoop
modem database supported by the BitStorm Server in any system application.
The StormTracker-Site Manager supports the following major functions:
• automatically detect and manage all EtherLoop modems on the same LAN
segment as the BitStorm Server
• automatically detect and manage EtherLoop modems across TCP/IP LAN
or WAN segments through the appropriate EtherLoop digital subscriber
line access multiplexer (DSLAM)
• monitor the performance EtherLoop modems
• configure Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) support for the
modems
• upgrade modem firmware
This document contains the instructions for performing these tasks using the
StormTracker-Site Manager software group, with the exception of the
SNMP functionality. The StormTracker SNMP User Guide contains the
complete instructions for using the SNMP module and functionality.
Administration
The Administration software group is used to manage the BitStorm Server
and supports the following major functions:
• shutdown and restart the server
• upgrade the server software
• configure the server network connections
• create users and manage user access to the server
• software license management and licensing updates
This document contains the instructions for performing these tasks using the
Administration software group.
