New HP Software Retrieves Network Test Results Remotely and in Real Time

Software supports PDH, SDH and ATM installation and maintenance

GENEVA, SWITZERLAND. OCTOBER 4, 1995

Hewlett-Packard Company today introduces here at Telecom '95 distributed
network-analyzer software that retrieves measurement results remotely and
in real time.

"Giving network operators the software tools to do remote monitoring lets
them rapidly determine the quality of service their customers are
getting," said Chuck Acken, general manager of HP's Communications
Measurements Division. "This information is vital to resolving customer
disputes, for example, or providing management insight into how services
are working."

The HP E4540A distributed network-analyzer software runs on a personal
computer and controls the HP 37700 range of installation and maintenance
testers that operate in the following modes: plesiochronous digital
hierarchy (PDH), synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) and asynchronous
transfer mode (ATM). Because the software uses the testers as network
probes to provide instant on-line support to technicians, testing and
troubleshooting happen faster. The real-time, virtual instrument display
lets users monitor what is happening on a network without actually having
to go to wherever the equipment is installed.

The software runs on Microsoft Windows and Windows NT.

The HP E4540A distributed network-analyzer software will be demonstrated
here Oct. 2 - 11.
