NOTE:

to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, i f not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, ma y cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Changes or modifications to this product, that could increase the amount of Radio Frequency Emissions from this
product, without the expressed written approval of Nortel Networks could cause the product and the user to violate
the FCC’s Rules and Regulations, thus requiring the product to be turned off or disconnected.

If this unit is used on a DTE which requires use of shi el ded cables for compliance with FCC Part 15, then use of a
filtered pin connector may be required to maintain FCC compliance. See the Installation section for specific
applications.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital d evic e, pur suant

Chapter 1 Introduction

Determining Which Management Tool to Use

The Passport 4460 unit is managed through Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP), which is an application-level protocol that operates over TCP/
IP. Therefore, all of the Passport 4460 device management tools accept your
commands and instructions, then translate them into SNMP comm ands.

Note:

Chapter 1, for more information to help you determine which
management tool to use.

Refer to Using Passport 4400 Install Tool Version 4.1, 206906-B

Device Management Tools

Configuring a Passport 4460 typically involves the use of Passport 4460 and one
or more of the following device management tools:

• Install Tool

• Passport 4400 Configurator

• Command Line Interface (CLI)

• Mass Deployment and Reporting Tool (MDT)

you can use Install Tool to perform
real-time monitoring of Passport
4400 units in your network.

Use the Configurator to perform
any Passport 4460 configuration
task.

Chapter 1 Introduction

Network Management Tools

The following network managements are compatible with Passport 4460 units:

• Optivity NM S 9.0

• Preside Multiservice Data Manager (PMDM)

Offers a powerful set of tools for automating the management of diverse,
multivendor networks. With Optivi ty NMS 9.0 , yo u can c ontro l act iv ity on an
enterprise network (a network of heterogeneous Ethernet, Fast Ethernet ,
T oken Ring, FDDI, and Fra me Rela y inter networ ks that consi st of hi gh-spe ed
backbones, geographically dispersed networks, local wiring closet hubs,
routers, servers, end-user workstations, and a variety of cabling media) all
from a single management station.

A network management platform used in heterogeneous networks as a
method of standardization of informati on processing. Used in large networks,
PMDM is highly scalable and offers many tools. Surveillance of all the
devices is done using the same set of tools and presents results consistently
across devices.

209664-A

• Open Management System for Passport (OMS-P, Version 4.1)
A SNMP-based network management platform that builds on a third party

product (HP OpenView) and adds device integration into that product. Used
in large networks of heterogeneous SNMP devices and provides a common
representation of different devices and their management information.

• If you have installed the online documentation on a Web server, the URL you

the default file that is served when the Web site is accessed.)

The server name “yugi” can be resolved by DNS; otherwise, u se your ser ver’s
IP address. An example could be the followin g:

http://192.168.1.1

Navigating Online Documentation

The next and previous buttons in the document pages navigate you through the
pages sequentially. If, for example, you have jumped (hyperli nked) to a new page
and wish to return to your previous location, use the back button in the browser.

Back. Return s y ou to th e
previous display. This is good
for jumping between
procedures or returning to the
previous screen after a
hyperlink jump.

PREV. This takes you to the
previous page in the document
regardless of how you got to
this page. Do not confuse this
PREV with Back.

NEXT. This takes you to the
next page in the document
regardless of how you got to
this page.
