Software-only package
OPS Manager is a software application that you install on your own server or workstation.
The OPS Manager application and software options (for example, Integrated Directory
Services) are protected by a Security Access Module and an OPS Activation Key
(passcode). The SAM and OPS Activation Key are shipped with the system software. The
SAM provides the OPS Manager platform with a unique System Identifier. This System
Identifier in combination with the OPS Activation Key enable the OPS Manager software.
Note that certain OPS Manager functions require that specific software options be enabled
on the network elements.
The OPS Manager application software is provided on a CD-ROM and is shipped with the
SAM and your OPS Activation Key. You must load the software onto an appropriate
Windows-enabled platform. The CD-ROM includes the Oracle database software and the
Java Plug-in.
Upgrading from Release 5.0?
The procedure to upgrade an existing OPS Manager Release 5.0 system to an OPS
Manager (Release 6.0 or later) system is different from the procedure to install an OPS
Manager system into a network for the first time.
Network specifications
The LAN on which you install the OPS Manager station must have the following
characteristics:
• The LAN must be based on IEEE 802.3 ethernet and use the TCP/IP protocol standard.
• The SX-2000 LIGHT systems must have software version LIGHTWARE™ 30, Release
1.0 R1.0 or later.
• The 3300 ICP systems must have software version 3.2 UR2.0 or later.
Refer to the Introducing OPS Manager Guide for a table of the required network element
software options.
For a list of the platform hardware and software requirements, refer to
Platform Requirements (p. 87).
Tip: A Mitel Regional System engineer or Mitel North American System engineer must assess
the OPS Manager resources required for your network.
