Introduction
Annex Manager Environment
Annex Manager is an SNMP-based management application that uses the
X/Motif™ graphical environment for its user interface and the standard
SNMP protocol to send commands to the Annex. Since it is designed to
run stand-alone, Annex Manager includes statically-linked SNMP protocol
routines and the X/Motif™ binary libraries. The installation process copies
the appropriate binary executable and all the associated help and data files
from the distribution media to the workstation's disk storage. Although it is
not a requirement, you should consider installing Annex Manager on the
same workstation you use for the Annex software installation.
Annex Manager depends on the proprietary MIB defined for the Annex and
on the various standard MIBs supported by the Annex. As such, Annex
Manager cannot manage other SNMP-manageable nodes in the network,
and is not intended to be a generic SNMP management tool.
Annex Manager may be loosely coupled with several standard network
management products such as SunNet Manager™,
HP/Openview™, or IBM Netview™ for AIX. However, Annex Manager is
not tightly integrated with these products.
System Requirements
Release 2.3 of Annex Manager is intended to run on a workstation running
BSD Unix (Sun Sparc, HP, RS/6000, SCO Unix). The following sections list
the hardware and software requirements for installing and running Annex
Manager.
Memory Requirements
You must have at least 10 MB of free disk space available prior to
installation.We recommend at least 32 MB of RAM, although specific
memory requirements vary depending on the type of workstation and the
other tasks that run concurrently with Annex Manager.
Annex Manager works best with a color monitor directly attached to the
workstation or a color X-window terminal connected to the UNIX host over
the network. Annex Manager also supports a grey-scale
X-window terminal attached to the workstation. Any X-window terminal
used with Annex Manager must have at least 2 MB of RAM.
