5620 SNMP Descriptor Module 1-1
Chapter 1
Introduction
This chapter provides a general overview of RAD Data Communications LA-110
dedicated ATM IAD Model Descriptors (ATM IAD MD), hosted by the 5620 SNMP
Descriptor Module. The 5620 SNMP Descriptor Module is invoked from the 5620
Network Manager and is used to monitor and configure SNMP nodes.
1.1 5620 SNMP Descriptor Module
The 5620 SNMP Descriptor Module provides remote configuration and
monitoring of SNMP nodes for LA-110, through a point-and-click graphical user
interface. The 5620 SNMP Descriptor Module uses descriptors to represent
transmission equipment units. The 5620 SNMP Descriptor Module application
includes interfaces to manage Alcatel and third party nodes.
The LA-110 model descriptors are a collection of equipment descriptors for
LA-110 (see Figure 1-1).
Equipment descriptors represent the functionality of a device, its slots and its ports.
The model descriptors provide element management capabilities within the limits
of the MIB objects that the device supports. In addition, the LA-110 model
descriptors will perform all parameter validation and any applicable data
range/limit checks.
