MetaConsole Client User’s Guide for Canon Devices 1
Overview
A management console is a single tool used to manage entire networks. It is a framework
within which device- or service-specific management modules can share a user interface,
alarm monitoring, and other basic functions. Popular management consoles include
Microsoft Management Console (MMC), HP OpenView, Tivoli Enterprise, and CA
Unicenter.
MetaConsole technology enables development of a single client module that works with
multiple management consoles and multiple network protocols on multiple platforms.
This guide describes how the MetaConsole client manages Canon devices for CA
Unicenter NSM.
