SNMP-Based Network
Management That Cuts
Complexity

Transcend Network Management

Solutions
3Com's Transcend family of network
management applications solves the
challenges of configuring, trouble-
shooting, expanding, and securing
network resources for every device
in your network—including adapters,
hubs, switches, bridge/routers, and
remote access servers. Transcend prod-
ucts support a broad range of popular
management platforms: Microsoft
Windows, Sun Microsystems'
SunNet Manager , HP OpenView ™
IBM's NetView AIX
®
and Novell's NMS. Transcend takes
management all the way down to
the desktop level, with hub-port-to-
adapter data correlation, PC asset
inventory and control, and the
ability to group devices according
to the manager's priorities rather
than physical device connections.

LinkBuilder Hub Configuration Guide
Transcend Offers Two Levels
of Management
• Transcend Enterprise Manager
integrates a full range of network
activities, devices, and technologies
for a building or campus network.
• Transcend WorkGroup Manager
supports local management for
Ethernet or Token Ring work-
groups.
Transcend Features
• Transcend's support for today's
popular open platforms lets you
leverage your current network
management investment and
doesn't lock you into a single-
vendor management solution.
• Transcend's common interface
® ,
across all device management
and OS/2,
®
applications lets you integrate
administrative tasks while sim-
plifying network coordination;
the software presents a common
set of metrics for network optimi-
zation and troubleshooting, and
with Virtual Grouping you can
group PCs in ways that optimize
network oversight and control.
• Transcend applications match the
look and feel of your current plat-
form, eliminating the learning
curve that usually accompanies
new applications; Transcend can
also be integrated with critical plat-
form services like topology map-
ping, reporting, and event logging.
• Transcend SmartAgent software,
built into 3Com manageable
devices, distributes management
tasks to make network manage-
ment operations more efficient
and increase the power and flex-
ibility of standard SNMP agents;
SmartAgent intelligence also
allows you to logically group
devices for monitoring and
control.
• A set of Transcend common-task
tools provides consolidated manage-
ment aimed at common activities
such as universal administration
of all bridging, management of
RMON alarms for diverse devices,
and remote software distribution
and configuration.
