 ManageWORKS - PC-Based Network Management

 HIGHLIGHTS

 o  Digital offers a suite of tools to help LAN managers monitor and
    control their total client/server environment:

    ManageWORKS (part of PATHWORKS for DOS/Windows V5.0) to manage
    client/server relationships in Novell NetWare, Digital PATHWORKS,
    and Microsoft LAN Manager network operating system (NOS)
    environments

    HUBwatch to manage the physical connectivity provided by the DEChub
    family in hub-based or standalone configurations

    PROBEwatch to diagnose problems and optimize performance by
    monitoring LAN traffic

 o  All three products can run on the same industry standard PC running
    Microsoft Windows

 CUSTOMER PROBLEM

 With the increased popularity of and reliance upon client/server
 computing, LAN managers need an integrated suite of management tools
 that address the complete range of LAN management issues, are easy to
 use, and can run on the same PC environment they already are using.

 DIGITAL SOLUTION

 Digital offers a suite of tools that help the LAN manager control the
 total environment. Not only do these tools manage the client/server
 environment for Digital, Novell, and Microsoft; but they also manage
 the physical connectivity provided by the DEChub family. They also give
 the LAN manager an opportunity to diagnose problems and monitor traffic
 on the LAN. All three of these tools are sold by the same vendor,
 Digital, and all three run on any industry-standard 386 (or faster) PC
 running Microsoft Windows.

 CUSTOMER BENEFITS

 o  The simple graphical interfaces will result in lower network support
    costs since less skilled personnel can use these tools.

 o  No capital need be spent since all three tools can run on a single,
    existing hardware platform (a PC).

 o  Increased network availability will result from desktop control of
    client/server and physical connectivity.

 o  Problems can be anticipated by monitoring LAN traffic.

 o  Since these applications operate in the already familiar Microsoft
    Windows environment and have extensive on-line help, training costs
    will be minimal.

 o  Only buy what you need.  All three products work independently or
    together on the same PC.

 TECHNICAL DATA

 ManageWORKS has the following capabilities:

 o  Provides consistent powerful management of retail NetWare, retail
    LAN Manager, and PATHWORKS (NetWare & LAN Manager) servers

 o  NetWare management (retail and PATHWORKS): servers, user groups,
    users, print queues, volumes/directories

 o  LAN Manager management (retail and PATHWORKS): servers, user groups,
    domains, file services, print services

 o  PATHWORKS remote client configuration management: workgroup
    templates, profile registries (individual and groups)

 HUBwatch for Windows V2.0 is equivalent in functionality to HUBwatch
 for OpenVMS V2.0. It manages the following:

 o  "Click & connect" LAN reconfiguration for the DEChub 900 MultiSwitch
 o  Port statistics and security for the DECrepeater 900TM
 o  The 32-port DECserver 900TM
 o  The DECbrouter 90
 o  All DEChub 90 repeaters, terminal servers, and bridges

 In addition, HUBwatch for Windows V2.0 provides the same graphical
 interface for out-of-band management of the DEChub 900 MultiSwitch,
 including award winning, context sensitive help (the SLIP stack for
 out-of-band access is included).

 PROBEwatch for Windows supports the emerging standard for remote
 network traffic monitoring (all 9 RMON groups).  In addition, it can:

 o  Identify hosts by MAC or IP address and name and/or DECnet address
 o  Identify vendor name based on MAC address decoding
 o  Decode many protocols including Novell, Appletalk, Sun/NFS, DECnet &
    LAT, XNS, TCP/IP, SNMP, VINES, SNA, OSI.
 o  Display each layer of the OSI model in a different color
 o  Perform offline filter editing, storage and retrieval
 o  Hide much of the filter setup work for common protocol suites

 Hardware Prerequisites

 o  33 MHz 386DX PC with 8 meg memory, 25 meg free disk space, color VGA
    monitor, mouse, and Ethernet port

 Software Prerequisites

 o  MS-DOS 3.3 or greater
 o  Microsoft Windows 3.1
 0  NDIS driver for Ethernet interface -- usually supplied with the
