VistaNET
Network Management
System (NMS)
VistaNET is a complete suite of software tools to manage the GE Lentronics family of
telecommunications products, consisting of JungleMUX SONET and T1 Multiplexers,
TN1U and TN1Ue SDH Multiplexers.

Key Benefits
• Remote configuration, monitoring and testing of all common equipment and
Network Visibility
telecommunication service interface units at any node in the system, minimizes disruption • Complete peer-to-peer NMS solution for
and maintenance costs Lentronics Multiplexer networks
• Simultaneous configuration and monitoring by more than one user, distributes network • Easily accessible through high speed
administration and maintenance responsibilities corporate LAN/WANs and traditional dial-up
• Time stamped logging of alarms and intelligent processing of alarm lists, assists in systems
identifying hard-to-find problems, facilitates alarm acknowledgement and provides
immediate update on current system status
• Recording of network configuration changes provides an audit trail for future reference
• Single integrated system view for interconnected and discrete network segments sim
Centralized Management
• Security is enhanced through a multi-level password and privilege system with automatic
expiration interval, controlled by a system administrator • Centralized management of both contiguous
• Optical status information and BER statistics provide preliminary indications of system level and non-contiguous networks
problems, such as fiber cable and equipment component degradation • Supports hundreds of nodes

VistaNET Components
• VistaNET Local Access (VLA) is a thrifty, rudimentary NMS solution ideal for small networks
• VistaNET Network Interface (VNI) is the standard NMS offering, providing remote configuration
and monitoring of Lentronics Multiplexer networks
Easy Accessibility
• VistaNET Serial Communication Port Expansion is a Right to Use (RTU) license offered for each • Intuitive menu driven, industry standard
additional VNI serial communication port connection privilege. This license is required when further screens
redundancy is needed, or a new network segment is added to the system • Operates on standard Microsoft (R)
• VistaNET Server Application (VSA) provides a single instance RTU license for the VistaNET server Windows platforms (Windows 2008 Server,
gateway to run on a Windows 2008, 2000, NT or XP PC or LAN server computer 2000, XP or NT)
• VistaNET Server Package (VSP) is a server gateway application supporting TCP/IP Ethernet NMS • Delivers complete monitoring information
access, running on an embedded computer in the IP version of the Lentronics service unit (IPSU) and configuration control for a Lentronics
• VistaNET SNMP Agent (VSNMP) enhances any VistaNET service with SNMP functionality. When Multiplexer system
enabled, the VistaNET session converts VistaNET alarms into SNMP traps (ver1.0 and/or 2.0) and
forwards them to a user-defined list of SNMP managers (via UDP/IP). The agent supports Get
commands of active and cleared alarms
• Alternate Traffic Routing (ATR) provides a RTU license, enabling creation and activation of primary
and backup traffic routing schemes in certain Lentronics optical transceiver units
