or suppressed on DocsisCM models based on your network
management priorities.
• SM-SNS1000, Sonus GSX9000
Supports Sonus Networks’ GSX9000 Open Service Switch.
Added/Updated Features and Functionality
The following updates, enhancements, and changes have been made to the
existing management modules since the release of SPECTRUM 6.5.0.
• Alarm Suppression on Cable Devices (SM-DCS1000, SM-SFA1000, and
SM-MOT1001)
To improve fault isolation and troubleshooting for networks containing
many cable devices, all loss-of-contact alarms generated for the
DocsisCM, SAExplorer, and MotCblRtr model types are now suppressed
by default. Not only does this cause gray rather than red alarms to be
displayed on SPECTRUM icons representing the associated models but,
most importantly, this reduces the number of non-critical alarms
displayed in the Alarm Manager. Alarm suppression can be turned off
for any models that you deem critical to your network.
• Generic Information Base (GIB) Views
This enhancement standardizes the format and layout of fields and
other data presented in views that display textual and tabular
information obtained from the MIBs (e.g., Configuration views and
Model Information views but not Device Topology views).
• Interface Icon Double-Click Zone
To eliminate redundancy, this change removes the Interface icon
double-click zone that accessed the Interface Status view and it
removes the associated IF Status option on the Icon Subviews menu.
The functionality and information from this view already exists in the
Interface Configuration view. (Refer to the SPECTRUM Views
documentation.)
• RFC2287, System-Level Managed Objects for Applications
This upgrade provides support for RFC2287. The MIB module defines
management objects that model applications as collections of
executables and files installed and running on a host system. The MIB
presents a system-level view of applications; i.e., objects are limited to
