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.
· Remoteconfiguration,monitoringandtestingofallcommonequipmentand
telecommunication service interface units at any node in the system, minimizes disruption
and maintenance costs
· Simultaneousconfigurationandmonitoringbymorethanoneuser,distributesnetwork
administration and maintenance responsibilities
· Timestampedloggingofalarmsandintelligentprocessingofalarmlists,assistsin
identifying hard-to-find problems, facilitates alarm acknowledgement and provides
immediate update on current system status

problems, such as fiber cable and equipment component degradation
· 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
· VistaNET Serial Communication Port Expansion is a Right to Use (RTU) license offered for each
additional VNI serial communication port connection privilege. This license is required when further
redundancy is needed, or a new network segment is added to the system
· VistaNET Server Application (VSA) provides a single instance RTU license for the VistaNET server
gateway to run on a Windows 2008, 2000, NT or XP PC or LAN server computer
· VistaNET Server Package (VSP) is a server gateway application supporting TCP/IP Ethernet NMS
access, running on an embedded computer in the IP version of the Lentronics service unit (IPSU)
· VistaNET SNMP Agent (VSNMP) enhances any VistaNET service with SNMP functionality. When
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
