Intel Express Routers 9000 - Manual (Page 4)

Easy setup and management
Intel Device View for Windows* is included with each
Intel Express Router for simple and comprehensive SNMP-
based management within Windows 95 and Windows NT*
environments. This powerful tool offers a simple graphical
interface for real-time monitoring, configuring and trouble-
shooting of the router and all WAN and LAN links.
Features include:
■ Quick Setup. Intel Express Routers are easy to install
and configure, even for users who have little or no WAN or
router expertise. The configuration of just a few parameters
using the simple menu-assisted format will satisfy the needs
of most installations. Intelligent cross-checking helps the
user avoid “impossible” configurations, and auto-detection
of cables and WAN port type ensures proper connections.
For more demanding applications, advanced configuration
capabilities are easily accessed and can be implemented
with the router online.
■ SNMP Monitoring and Configuration. Intel Device View
for Windows uses standard and proprietary MIBs to manage
Express Routers over the LAN, providing support for most
SNMP counters and allowing MIB viewing with other SNMP
management tools. The data is clearly organized by port, and
you can quickly navigate down protocol layers to access the
level of information you need.
■ RMON Support. Intel Express Routers support groups 1-3
and group 9 of the RMON standard for monitoring of the local
area network and the router. The supported groups include
statistics, history, alarm and events.
■ Clear Informational Graphs. Built-in graphical analysis
tools offer a clear look at real-time traffic statistics. Use built-in
or user-defined parameter combinations for both statistical
displays and graphs.
■ Easy Firmware Upgrades. The included Software Upgrade
Wizard is an integrated Windows-based interface that guides
you step-by-step through the upgrade process. In addition,
Intel Express Routers let you pretest new software while you
continue to run the original software. This avoids downtime
by allowing full testing of any new configuration before it is
released for full-scale operation.
■ Straightforward Diagnostics. Unlike most log-based
diagnostic tools, Device View for Windows sorts errors by
link and prioritizes them in order of seriousness. It also
provides an ordered list of suggestions for corrective action.
■ Management Platform Independence. Intel Device View for
Windows can be integrated in Windows NT and Windows 95
management platforms. Its logical, easy-to-use, menu-based
layout offers full integration with the Windows user interface.
Intel Express Router 9100
Wide area networking among multiple sites.
The Intel Express Router 9100 features two WAN
ports, and can support one protocol on one port while
simultaneously supporting a different protocol on the
other. This ensures maximum flexibility in connecting
simultaneously to two networks.
WAN links:
■ Two HDLC Serial Interfaces supporting Frame Relay,
X.25, PPP, LAPB, Leased Line (TI/EI)
10BASE-T
AUI WAN 1 WAN 2 CONSOLE
LAN WAN 1 WAN 2
MAINT SYSTEM
Intel Device View for Windows* includes a new explorer view that
presents all WAN connections in an easy-to-navigate protocol tree.
This, coupled with intelligent diagnostics, can literally save hours
troubleshooting a tough link problem by directing you to the level
where the problem exists.
