Applications
Every AS3000 node must include one SCM module.
The SCM is a networked intelligent module that is devoted
exclusively to management tasks. It has no data-carrying tasks. The
SCM is IP-addressable and is the access point to an AS3000
network.
The SCM contains an embedded Craft (ASCII) interface that allows a
system administrator to control, configure, administer, and
monitor application modules in the local node and in remote SCM-
managed nodes of an AS3000 network.
The SCM also has an embedded SNMP agent that acts as a host for
the optional Node Manager or any other SNMP-based network
manager. SNMP, Telnet and FTP protocols are supported through
Ethernet and SLIP connectors.
Verilink’s Node Manager is an optional graphical user interface
(GUI) application that runs under Windows 95. It can manage an
entire network containing AS2000 and AS3000 nodes. Node
Manager can access the SCM directly or use SNMP over ethernet or
SLIP.
