DECelms -- Managing Digital's FDDI and Ethernet Extended Local Area Networks

as a part of Digital's FDDI The DECelms software program. product provides extended local area network DECelms Development management for Digital's The DECelms product, Ethernet/IEEE 802.3 Digital's extended and fiber distributed local area network (LAN) data interface (FDDI) management software, bridges and for its FDDI provides remote network wiring concentrator. management for Digital's Product development LAN Bridge 100, LAN entailed keeping pace Bridge 150, LAN Bridge with a changing set 200, DECbridge 500, of requirements. These and DECconcentrator 500 included the evolving products. The remote ANSI FDDI standard, the networks are included in proposed Digital Network the extended LAN by means Architecture FDDI data of transparent bridges. link specification, the DECelms functionality Enterprise Management includes basic SET and Architecture, the SHOW capabilities, fault ability to extend the management, performance serviceability of the monitoring, FDDI ring products, and the mapping, automatic device aggressive schedules of discovery, and user alarms. the hardware and firmware The DECelms software runs development teams. DECelms as an application on a VAX development resulted in an processor running under the improved network management VMS operating system. functionality including fault, performance, and When Digital embraced the topology management. These new fiber distributed advanced features required data interface (FDDI) corresponding enhancements LAN technology, the role
