An

applet

source

code

which

takes

the

parameters

pro

vided

by

the

HTML

source

and

draws

the

bar

chart

may

be

found

in

micro?che

Appendix

A,

attached

to this

patent

application.

Frame

Tags

HTML

frame

tags

allow

for

a

browser

display

to

be

partitioned

in

regions.

In

one

embodiment

the

regions

are

further

de?ned

into

input,

output

and

input/output

regions.

This

level

of

organiZation

creates

a

consistent

user

interface

to

assist

the

user.

Commands

input

in

one

region

could

be

programmed

to

display

output

in

other

regions.

A

program

illustrating

the

tags

is

attached

to

software

Appendix

A.

Operations

and

Functions

Supported

by

the

Rack

Modem

System

The

native

operations

and

functions

required

by

a

network

resource

are

programmed

into

the

native

resource

instruction

library

410

of

the

network

module

400.

The

present

resource

management

system

provides

specialiZed

operation

options

to

the

client

by

programming

the

options

database

430

with

a

number

of

functions

and

operations

for

the

network

resource.

A

user

at

the

client

selects

the

desired

operations

and

provides necessary

parameters

for

completing

the

opera

tion.

The

selected

operations

and any

parameters

are

returned

as

messages

over

the

network

to

the

network

module.

The

instruction

module

420

processes

the

messages

and

issues native

resource

instructions

to

the

network

resource

to

perform

the

operations.

In

one

embodiment,

the

options

having

parameters

are

transmitted

to

the

network

module

400

using

HTML

forms.

Where

no

parameters

are

used,

the

options

are

transmitted

to

the

network

module 400

using

hyperlink

references.

Options

may

be

requested

with

or

without

parameteriZation.

For

example,

in

the

case

where

the

network

resource

is

the

rack

modem

system,

if

a

GETFAULT

function

is

selected

by

a

user

at

the

client

the

user

may

indicate

which

device

to

perform

fault

reporting.

This

command

also

supports

range

limitations.

For

example,

if

the

user

speci?es

GETFAULT

A1:16C,

then

the

modem

rack

system

reports

faults

on

all

devices

labeled

between

A1

and

16C.

If

no

parameters

are

speci?ed,

then

the

rack

modem

system

displays

all

separate

level

faults

that

occurred.

Another

operation

supported

by

the

rack

modem

system

is

the

GETMODEM

operation.

If

no

parameters

are

speci?ed,

then

the

current

status

of

all

modems

in

the

system

are

reported

to

the

client

terminal

for

presentation.

If

param

eters

are

speci?ed,

then

only

the

speci?ed

modem

statuses

are

reported

to

the

client

for

presentation.

Another

option

is

the

GETCALLS

operation,

which

displays

recent

call

his

tory

for

all

modems

speci?ed

(or

all

modems

in

the

system

if

not

parameteriZed

by

the

user).

Several

other

functions

are

supported

by

the

present

system.

Further

details

have

been

included

in

the

micro?che

appendix.

Appendix

B.

the

system

is

Other

Embodiments

Java

Applets

In

alternate

embodiments

incorporating

Java

applets,

the

use

of

Java

applets

improves

the

?exibility

of

the

browser

based

network

management

system.

In

one

embodiment,

Java

is

used

to

interpret

received

data

and

display/format

the

information

in

a

user-friendly

model.

Other

features

sup

ported

by

Java

are

to

paint

displays

to

create

improved

input

controls

and

creating

web

pages

which

are

dynamic

both

as

input or

output

devices.

E-mail

Fault/Status

Reporting

As

faults

occur

in

the

system,

various

methods

of

noti?

cation

are

required

to

properly

inform

support

staff

as

to

a

problem.

In

some

embodiments,

the

methods

include

updat

ing

a

fault/status

display

in

the

MMM

software,

sending

a

pager

message

via

a

modem

or

sending

a

TRAP

via

SNMP.

Other

embodiments

include

adding

the

ability

to

send

faults

by

e-mail

allows

the

operations

staff

to

get

faulty

condition

information

while

not

running

any

special

software

at

their

station.

These

features

also

allow

distribution

of

fault

con

ditions

to

several

support

individuals.

In

one

embodiment,

the

e-mail

system

is

utiliZed

to

distribute

system

usage

reports

that

outline

various

areas

of

analysis:

number

of

connections,

up-time,

connect

speeds,

fault

summary,

etc.

A

further

extension

to

this

embodiment

is

a

system

which

automatically

sends

a

trouble

report

directly

to

the

company

that

manufactured

the

communica

tions

device

when

an

unrecoverable

fault

has

occurred

in

the

system.

This

technical

support

aid

is

bene?cial

in

both

getting

the

customer

back

on-line

and

capturing

vital

infor

mation

about

the

error

condition.

VRML

Support

In

one

embodiment,

the

network

resource

management

system

incorporates

Virtual

Reality

Modeling

Language

(VRML)

for

the

creation

of

the

three

dimensional

view

of

1 2 ... 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17
