Release V1.2 of Management Agent Supports SNMP and Telnet Protocols.

Network Management SoftwareIrvine, CA, January 29, 2002 -- Omnitron Systems Technology, Inc., a manufacturer of fiber media converters for Enterprise Local Area Networks (LAN) and Metropolitan Area network (MAN) applications, today released version 1.2 of its management agent software for the iConverter line of media converters. With the release of version 1.2, the iConverter management agent supports Telnet in addition to the previously supported SNMP protocol. Omnitron Systems is exhibiting the managed iConverter product family January 29-31, 2002 at the COMNET Expo, Washington DC, booth #2205. The Telnet services, which enhance the iConverter's management capabilities, are password protected and can be enabled or disabled by the user. Network engineers get greater functionality through Telnet, which enables monitoring status and allows engineers to configure any managed iConverter module from anywhere on the network. Telnet is a standard, text-based protocol supported by most platforms and operating systems, including Windows™ and Unix™ .

The iConverter modules can also be monitored and configured by SNMP based management software, such as Omnitron's NetOutlook™ which operates stand-alone under Windows 9X/ME/XP/NT/2K or under network management systems such as HP OpenView™.

The iConverter management agent provides the network administrator with detailed real-time network status and control and offers selective monitoring of different network traps and alarms. The iConverter family provides copper-to-fiber and single-mode to multimode fiber converters and supports 10, 100, 10/100 and Gigabit Ethernet, T1, E1, OC-3 and OC-12 technologies. The individual converters use 19-unit, 2-unit and 1-unit chassis with AC or DC power-redundancy.

Availability

Available now, all iConverter products carry a lifetime warranty and a free 7x24 technical support. The iConverter Family is available through Omnitron’s worldwide network of resellers and distributors.
