3618.0. "Cable plant tracking tool" by DPDMAI::DAVIES (Mark, SCA Area Network Consultant) Tue Aug 25 1992 16:18

    My customer, Univ of Texas @ San Antonio, wants information on a Cable
    PLant Tracking tool to use in conjunction with DECmcc.
    
    They want to track the physical and logical network layouts and
    integrate this info with a descriptive database with info on connects,
    moves, etc and their personnel data base.
    
    Is there anything DEChas, DEC has partnered with, or a 3rd party
    application that could be "launched" from DECmcc?
    
    Any help is appreciated.
    
    Thanks,

3618.1Yes, of course!FRSOLD::ORCHIS::SYSTEMInformation, that's all I need...Tue Aug 25 1992 17:2518
Hi Mark,

yes, we do have such a (prototype :-) tool. It's called CABLEmanager or CMT, and
is developed in Neuchatel, Switzerland. It is a standalone tool which inter-
operates with DECmcc. You would like to contact Mike Duffy @VBO, who is the
product manager.

As far as I and a colleague of mine, Matthias Lott @FRS, have experienced, it is
a nice tool whose concepts are OK, but whose code needs some more work to be done
upon. We tested a internal development version, though.


Hope this helps

3618.2Available in the U.S.?DPDMAI::DAVIESMark, SCA Area Network ConsultantWed Aug 26 1992 13:3814
    I am remotely familiar with CABLEmanager.  I was under the belief that
    it was developed to run on top of a 3rd party piece of software and
    required such s/w.  Also, this 3rd party s/w is not available in the
    US.
    
    If CABLEmanager is going to be available in the U.S. (with or without
    the 3rd party s/w), PLEASE make note of that information here in this
    notesfile, since many people are looking for an MCC compliant cable
    plant tracking tool.
    
    Regards,
    
    Mark
