Alcatel-Lucent OmniAccess 3500 User Manual

 

 

 

To support certain IT applications at runtime, you must first provision the 
infrastructure that supports them. This section describes the provisioning tasks that 
prepare the OmniAccess 3500 NLG platform for support of the following IT 
applications: 
•  Device management applications, such as asset inventory maintenance and patch 

management. 

•  Security applications, such as management of the personal firewall that is installed 

in the OmniAccess 3500 NLG card. 

The OmniAccess 3500 NLG R1.2 supports a proprietary application (called ASSETMGMT) 

for maintaining inventories of the software assets in the deployed laptops, and two 
third-party solutions for the management of patch downloads (PatchLink Update by 
Lumension Security and SMS by Microsoft ). 
The Assisted File Transfer (AFT) facility of the OmniAccess 3500 NLG platform provides 
the foundation for integration of the ASSETMGMT and Microsoft SMS applications. The 
first subsection that follows describes the AFT facility, its support for the ASSETMGMT 
and Microsoft SMS applications, and the configuration steps needed to integrate other 
IT applications. The second subsection that follows references the document that 

describes all the configuration steps needed for integration of the OmniAccess 3500 
NLG R1.2 with the PatchLink Update and SMS applications, including the steps that are 
external to the OmniAccess 3500 NLG platform.
