What is the Multiuser Feature?
The COMSPHERE 6700 Multiuser feature gives you the ability to connect multiple Windows t
workstations together to form a network of NMS users. With this feature, each user’s workstation has a complete graphical interface that interacts with the NMS as if it were a single user workstation.
The Multiuser feature consists of two separately orderable packages: Server and Client.
You can install the Multiuser Server and Client packages on the
COMSPHERE 6700 Series NMS Release 4.0 at any time.
The Multiuser feature supports up to six simultaneous users. In addition, the software provides statistical data and
Platform/Network Performance Monitoring.

Overview
Feature List
In addition to all the features of the 6700 Series NMS Release
4.0, the Multiuser feature provides the following capabilities:
G
Integrated TCP/IP, UDP/IP, and SNMP
G
Concurrent Ethernet r
, Token Ring, FDDI, SLIP, and PPP interfaces
G
Support for various network adapter vendors
G
User-definable configuration via the COMSPHERE
6700 Series NMS Network Configuration feature
G
Seamless multiuser (up to 6 users) via LAN and/or
RS-232 connections via SLIP and/or PPP
G
RS-232 Gateway to LAN via SLIP and/or PPP allowing dial-up multiuser
G
Full graphical user interface features at all multiuser workstations
G
Platform/Network Performance Monitoring
G
Knowledge of more than one NMS server
G
User-selectable active NMS server
Sample Multiuser Network
Topologies
When using the Multiuser feature, one workstation must be configured as the NMS server where the NMS database resides and the control channels are connected. The server is also the point of interface with all NMS devices.
All other networked workstations must be configured as an NMS client, which executes only the user interface portion of the
NMS.
Figures 1-1, 1-2, and 1-3 show some sample Multiuser feature network topologies.
