OpenLane SLM System

Being standards-based, the OpenLane SLM (Service Level Management) system
can be used with other management applications like HP OpenView or IBM's
NetView. OpenLane includes HP OpenView adapters for integrating OpenLane
features with the OpenView Web interface.
Being Web-based, the OpenLane system provides Web access to the data
contained in the database to provide anytime, anywhere access to this information

Real-time performance graphs provide exact performance measurement
details (not averages, which can skew performance results) of service level
agreement (SLA) parameters.
Historical SLV graphs provide service level management historical reports so
frame relay SLAs can be verified.
Diagnostic troubleshooting provides an easy-to-use tool for performing tests,
which include end-to-end, PVC loopback, connectivity, and physical interface
tests.
Basic configuration allows you to configure FrameSaver devices, and set
RMON alarms and thresholds. Network DLCI Circuit IDs can also be
assigned.
Automatic SLV device and PVC discovery allows all SLV devices with their SLV
Delivery Ratio configuration option enabled to be discovered automatically,
along with their PVCs.
A FrameSaver unit can be reset from the OpenLane system.
Firmware downloading provides an easy-to-use tool for downloading to an
entire network or a portion of the network.
On-demand polling of FrameSaver devices, and SNMP polling and reporting
are available.
Multiple maintenance schedules allow for the scheduling of more than one
periodic maintenance period, and provides a report for each scheduled task.
Multiple Circuit IDs allow multiple access levels so network service providers
can offer their customers service level-specific access to network
management information, and so end users can have open access to network
management information without losing control of their network(s).
