324 DSView Installer/User Guide
SNMP is a set of protocols for managing complex networks. SNMP works by sending
messages to different parts of a network. SNMP-compliant devices, called agents, store data
about themselves in MIBs and return this data to the SNMP requesters.
SNMP manager
The SNMP manager is an optional component (outside of the DSView software system) that
enables the monitoring of many cross-platform devices using SNMP information. SNMP
managers are also called network management systems (NMS).
SNAP trap
A SNAP trap is an automatically generated alert containing information or error explanations.
SPC power control device
The SPC power control device is an Avocent cascade device that allows the remote controlling
of target device power using a serial connection.
SSL (Secure Sockets Layer)
SSL is a protocol that supplies secure data communication through data encryption and
decryption. SSL enables private communications over networks by using a combination of
public key cryptography and bulk data encryption.
Target device
A target device includes a wide range of data center components such as servers and routers
that an administrator is able to virtually manage through the DSView management software.
Target device session
A target device session is a connection through a KVM, serial, Telnet or web browser. Target
device sessions do not include power management functionality.
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol)
TCP is one of the main protocols in TCP/IP networks. The IP protocol deals only with packets.
TCP enables two hosts to establish a connection and exchange streams of data. TCP guarantees
delivery of data and that packets will be delivered in the same order in which they were sent.
Telnet
Telnet is a terminal emulation program for TCP/IP networks, such as the Internet, that is
commonly used to remotely control web servers. The Telnet program runs on your PC and
connects it to a server on the network. Commands may then be entered through the Telnet
program and will be executed as if being entered directly on the server console, which enables
you to control the server and communicate with other servers on the network. To start a Telnet
session, you must log in to a server by entering a valid username and password.
Telnet session
A telnet session is a type of target device session in which the target device supports Telnet and
the DSView software client connects directly to the target device using Telnet.
