ADC Introduces IPXpert IP/ATM Network Management Platform.Business Editors/Technology Writers NetWorld Interop 2000 Booth No. 1424 MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 1, 2000 The New IPXpert Platform Empowers Network Administrators to Remotely Manage the Physical Layer from the Desktop. ADC (1) See A/D converter. (2) (Apple Display Connector) A peripheral connector from Apple that combines digital video display, USB and power in one cable. (Nasdaq: ADCT ADCT Adaptive Discrete Cosine Transform ; www.adc.com) today announced availability of the new ADC IPXpert(TM) platform, designed to manage IP and ATM wide area data networks. With the IPXpert, network administrators can remotely test, restore, and control the network's physical layer using a software interface. The IPXpert will be displayed at NetWorld+Interop 2000, Booth No. 1424, May 9-11 in Las Vegas Las Vegas (läs vā`gəs), city (1990 pop. 258,295), seat of Clark co., S Nev.; inc. 1911. It is the largest city in Nevada and the center of one of the fastest-growing urban areas in the United States. , Nevada. "As enterprise networks become larger and more complex, administrators are challenged to adequately manage and monitor the physical layer," said Rob Koziy, director of copper product management at ADC. "The IPXpert platform makes it possible for much of the testing and switching to be done remotely, from the network administrator's desktop. Using the IPXpert, administrators can now spend time proactively managing the network, rather than travelling to troubleshoot and test it." The IPXpert system enables alarm-triggered switching and scheduled switching. Both modes permit the network administrator to proactively manage the physical layer, switching to redundant circuits and equipment when required. In the alarm-triggered switching mode, IPXpert can be programmed to avoid downtime by switching to redundant network equipment. The network administrator establishes potential troublesome network conditions and programs the IPXpert to generate an alarm and switch to redundant network equipment when trouble is indicated. In the scheduled switching mode, the network administrator can automate switching so that traffic is carried over redundant lines while primary lines are tested or reconfigured. Both switching modes can be managed from the network administrator's desktop using simple, software-based management tools. The IPXpert platform supports common interfaces such as HP OpenView HP OpenView was a Hewlett Packard product range consisting of an extensive portfolio of network and systems management products. In 2007 the entire HP OpenView portfolio was rebranded under the strengthened HP Software name. for Windows, Telnet, and SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) A widely used network monitoring and control protocol. Data are passed from SNMP agents, which are hardware and/or software processes reporting activity in each network device (hub, router, bridge, etc. (simple network management protocol). Various manufacturers' test instruments, including protocol analyzers and "sniffers", are also supported by the IPXpert platform.

Multiple IPXpert chassis also can be added to support a multi-site or global network. When installed throughout the entire network, the IPXpert is designed to enable network administrators to quickly monitor, test, and manage any line, anywhere in the network, maximizing flexibility and responsiveness. The IPXpert platform is available for shipment worldwide.
