You can also set thresholds that initiate alarms whenever specified network
conditions occur. Whenever a threshold is met or exceeded, the specified event
occurs and the alarm is triggered. You can set thresholds specific to a slot or port.
For detailed information about installing the Threshold Manager tool, see
Using Optivity LAN 7.1.
Fault Correlator
After you set alarm thresholds on integer-based variables using the Threshold
Manager, you can use the Fault Correlator tool to decode the traps that are sent to
the RMON network management station.
The Fault Correlator generates fault reports and calculates the current state of
network objects and devices. Optivity LAN automatically stores this information
in the Optivity fault database.
For detailed information about using the Fault Correlator tool, see Using Optivity
LAN 7.1.
Optivity Analysis for Windows NT
Optivity Analysis for Windows NT monitors the performance of heterogeneous
LANs to help you identify and solve network problems quickly before they lead to
network failure.
Optivity Analysis for Windows NT supports the RMON and RMON2 MIBs and
provides a powerful interface that allows you to poll the RMON devices (probes,
routers, and switches) on your network. You can poll a device and inquire about
errors, bandwidth, and so forth.
Optivity Analysis for Windows NT can monitor hundreds or even thousands of
LAN segments by dividing large, complex networks into more manageable
domains. Optivity Analysis for Windows NT allows you to view traffic statistics
generated from a single LAN, groups of LANs, or an enterprise network.
With Optivity Analysis for Windows NT, you can establish and report on network
trends over extended periods and create baselines that set alarms so that an
accurate picture of the network can be portrayed.

Optivity Analysis for Windows NT 1.0.
