Efficient Shelf and Chassis Management with SMS

SMS (Shelf Monitoring System) is a Windows-based, single-thread desktop application developed using MFC, Visual C++, and OCX. This SNMP-enabled application is specifically designed for the remote monitoring and management of shelves and chassis installed in Telco/Cable headends. With SMS, network administrators can efficiently monitor individual shelves and chassis, manage firmware upgrades, and oversee the operation of daisy-chained chassis, making it an essential tool for streamlined network management.

Advanced Features for Enhanced Network Monitoring

SMS offers comprehensive remote monitoring via web and desktop interfaces, with support for configurations of 8 to 16-daisy-chained chassis. It monitors individual modules within a chassis, typically supporting 10 to 32 different RF or optical cards. The application also facilitates alarm management, including setup, clearing, and history tracking. Additionally, SMS provides trap management with time-stamped traps, batch configuration for multiple racks, and full compliance with ANSI/SCTE 38-2 2002 and SCTE HMS 063 standards, ensuring that network management processes adhere to industry best practices.
