PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

HUBwatch is a network management application designed to provide an easy to
use graphical interface for managing the entire family of DEChub and
GIGAswitch products. HUBwatch V3.1 provides a range of support under the
three major hardware and software platforms: Intel based PCs, Alpha AXP, and
VAX systems, running MS Windows, DEC OSF/1, and OpenVMS software
respectively. This range of choices offers users robust functionality priced
aggressively on the most popular platforms.

MS Windows based applications offer low cost standalone hub management
functionality, with the bonus of enterprise management when layered on HP
OpenView for Windows management framework. HUBwatch layered on POLYCENTER
Netview provides enterprise network management.

HUBwatch for Windows V3.1 (SPD 37.87)

HUBwatch for Windows V3.1 now supports the complete complement of high
volume DEChub modules, including:

o  DECswitch 900EE/900EF
o  DECconcentrator 900MX
o  DECbrouter 90v2
o  PEswitch 900TX
o  DECrepeater 900GM/900FP/90FS/90TS

V3.1 does not support GIGAswitch devices nor the RoamAbout Access Point
management functions. These functions will be implemented in V4.0. HUBwatch
for Windows V3.1 will operate as a standalone product, or in conjunction
with HP OpenView for MS Windows, a popular enterprise management platform in
the hub market.

HUBwatch for OpenVMS VAX V3.1 (SPD 45.74)

HUBwatch V3.1 incorporates all V3.0 features and functions. In addition, it
adds support for new DEChub modules, including:

o  PEswitch 900T
o  DECbrouter 90v2
o  DECswitch 900EE/900EF
o  GIGAswitch FGL4
o  DECrepeater 90TS
o  RoamAbout Access Point

HUBwatch for OpenVMS VAX software can be installed with POLYCENTER for
OpenVMS VAX software or standalone but requires TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS
systems in either instance. HUBwatch for OpenVMS VAX software is LMF
compliant.

HUBwatch for DEC OSF/1 AXP V3.1 (SPD 46.65)

This is the first release of HUBwatch on the DEC OSF/1 AXP platform. It is
being released at V3.1 to represent the identical functionality to the
OpenVMS VAX software. This is a direct port of the OpenVMS VAX software.
HUBwatch for DEC OSF/1 AXP software can be installed to run standalone, or
to be launched from POLYCENTER NetView software. This product is LMF
compliant.

DEChub Consolidated Firmware Kits

These V3.1 kits are now available on OpenVMS VAX, MS-DOS, and DEC OSF/1 AXP
platforms. They contain the latest DEChub firmware and the DECnduPlus Load
Utility. This firmware is required to run HUBwatch V3.1. These kits are also
included in the HUBwatch Media Kit.

BENEFITS

HUBwatch V3.1 provides multiplatform support, ease of installation and use,
and very competitive pricing. It provides additional functionality for
managing DEChubs, as well as graphical SNMP management of GIGAswitch devices
from the OpenVMS VAX and DEC OSF/1 AXP platforms.

HUBwatch for Windows is a very cost effective hub manager. It provides
complete LAN management, including FDDI, Personal Ethernet, and Ethernet to
FDDI bridging functions. These capabilities are available for both In Band
and Out of Band management.
