September 2004 AT-View Plus 3.0: Full Installation This file contains important information about AT-View Plus 3.0. The topics discussed in this file are summarized in the Contents section. Contents ======== A. What's New? B. Supported Devices and Management Software C. Application Notes A. What's New? ============== This section describes the changes made since AT-View Plus 2.4. 1. Application -------------- * AT-View Plus now supports SNMPv3. * AT-View Plus 3.0 has a new feature for specifying the SNMP version when connecting to a device. The new feature requires the user to enter the following properties when connecting to a device using SNMPv3: - User name - Security level - Authentication protocol - Authentication password - Privacy protocol - Privacy password * Device-specific menu options and controls will be enabled/disabled in AT-View Plus Device Manager depending on the user's view access security settings in SNMPv3. The following device modules have been updated to support the enabling and disabling of device-specific menu options and controls: - Rapier Series (v2.6.3 or later) - AT-8700XL Series (v2.6.3 or later) - AT-8800 Series (v2.6.3 or later) - AT-RG600 Series (v2.0.1 or later) * AT-View Plus has been tested to run on CastleRock's SNMPc 7.0 and HP OpenView 7.0. * A new license key is required to run this release. For users of AT-View Plus 2.4 and below, your license key will not work with this release. Please contact your Allied Telesyn distributor or reseller to upgrade your license. * AT-View Plus VLAN Manager now supports AT-8948. * Please refer to Section B - Supported Devices and Software Versions for new devices and latest management software supported in AT-View Plus 3.0.

Application Notes ==================== 1. AT-View Plus Device Manager ------------------------------ * AT-View Plus Device Manager is designed to run on JRE 1.4.1 on Windows, Solaris, and HP-UX. Do not use other versions of JRE or JDK. * To set/get MIB variables using SNMP, AT-View Plus Device Manager must be configured to use the appropriate SNMP settings. Ask your Network Administrator for the correct SNMP settings set for each device. When accessing the device using SNMPv1/SNMPv2c, only the community settings are needed. When accessing the device using SNMPv3, the values for the following parameters should be provided: - User name - Security level - Authentication protocol - Authentication password - Privacy protocol - Privacy password * Displaying several MIB variables simultaneously may cause delays in screen updates. When this happens, increase the value of the polling interval. The system environment may also cause delays in screen updates. Increasing the value of the polling interval will fix this problem. * Running several instances of AT-View Plus Device Manager may lead to deterioration in system performance. If this happens, you may need to terminate other processes or upgrade the system to accommodate multiple instances of AT-View Plus Device Manager. * Depending on the system being used, displaying information for several ports concurrently may cause the performance of the application to slow down. As more ports are selected, it takes longer to retrieve all the information. To improve application performance, increase the value of the polling interval. * AT-View Plus Device Manager can only manage devices that are included in the list of supported devices (See Supported Devices and Software Versions section.). If an unsupported Allied Telesyn product is set as the target device, the main panel window may open but device management cannot be performed. If a device from another vendor is selected, the main panel will not be displayed at all. * The standard Telnet application on Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows 2003 cannot be started from within AT-View Plus Device Manager. Use the HyperTerminal application instead. To configure the Telnet external command within AT-View Plus Device Manager to use Hyperterminal, select Option --> Option to open the Options window. Choose the External Command tab and specify the path where the executable for Hyperterminal is located (e.g. C:\Program Files\Windows NT \hypertrm.exe /t). * When launching AT-View Plus Device Manager, it may take a while before the common graphical user interface (GUI) is displayed. This is due to the changes being made by AT-View Plus Device Manager to the system environment being used. * There may be instances when the display of the dialog box forms and button texts are different. This is due to the "look and feel" and system environment settings. * You cannot click on the OK button of a message displayed in a modal dialog box (e.g. notification and reception of a trap regarding a threshold value). To close the dialog box, use the keyboard. * After inserting a GBIC into a GBIC slot on a device or expansion module, the image of the GBIC port will not be displayed automatically within the device image. To view the status of the GBIC port within AT-View Plus Device Manager, select View --> Refresh. * In UNIX, when the name of the parameter assigned to the x-axis of a line graph or bar chart is displayed as an item number, it may be difficult to view the table items. Drag and resize the column boundaries to view the table items. 2. AMIGO -------- * AMIGO can obtain MIB variable values by group. However, depending on the size of the MIB group, it may take a while for AMIGO to gather all the MIB values. For example, if the mib-2 node is selected, AMIGO will obtain all MIB variable values under the mib-2 subtree, which could take a while. It is therefore advisable to select only the necessary nodes when doing a MIB Get operation. 3. VLAN Manager --------------- * The AT-RG634A is not supported on this release.
