Overview The WAN Interface Probe, or WIP — the newest addition to the innovx™ Family — further extends the application base for high quality, comprehensive network monitoring and troubleshooting. As in previous innovx offerings, the innovx WIP delivers all the tools necessary for network managers to judge the quality of their frame relay network, allowing for bandwidth management, performance baselining, troubleshooting and accurate real-time monitoring. Innovx customers have already realized paybacks through bandwidth optimization; CIR and subscriber-fee reductions; and credits for service outages from carriers and service providers. Now with the innovx WIP, users can traverse the upper protocol layers (RMON1/RMON2) further reducing costly bandwidth subscriptions by pinpointing network "hogs", user abuse, poorly segmented IP networks, and wasteful applications.

Interoperability The introduction of the innovx WIP allows users of frame relay networks to easily add innovx monitoring and testing capabilities, without disturbing existing equipment infrastructures. The innovx WIP's speed flexibility relieves worries of obsolescence and easily adapts to any model or brand of NTU (Network Termination Unit). Seamless report generation between it and other innovx family members make the WIP the next logical step for expanding your network visibility reach.

Ease of Installation and Use Innovx can be installed quickly — without the need for specialized personnel. Intuitive web-based HTML screens allow for comfortable operation that is easily learned. Once connected, innovx begins by polling the frame relay network and discovering remote PVCs with or without router connectivity. Network installation and problem isolation has never been so easy. Router issues and circuit issues are quickly discovered allowing for quick restorations, as well as eliminating costly and time consuming "finger pointing". Add the Innovx Frame Manager and reports can be automatically generated, centrally gathered, electronically distributed and published via the Web. A powerful CORBA architecture allows the Innovx Frame Manager to operate on either a standard PC platform, running under Windows NT or Unix/Solaris 2.5 or higher.
