LUCENT TECHNOLOGIES END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT
LUCENT TECHNOLOGIES IS WILLING TO LICENSE THE ENCLOSED SOFTWARE
AND ACCOMPANYING USER DOCUMENTATION (COLLECTIVELY, THE
“PROGRAM”) TO YOU ONLY UPON THE CONDITION THAT YOU ACCEPT ALL OF
THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT. PLEASE READ
THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT CAREFULLY
BEFORE OPENING THE PACKAGE(S) OR USING THE LUCENT SWITCH(ES)
CONTAINING THE SOFTWARE, AND BEFORE USING THE ACCOMPANYING USER
DOCUMENTATION. OPENING THE PACKAGE(S) OR USING THE LUCENT
SWITCH(ES) CONTAINING THE PROGRAM WILL INDICATE YOUR ACCEPTANCE
OF THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT. IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO BE
BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT, LUCENT IS UNWILLING
TO LICENSE THE PROGRAM TO YOU, IN WHICH EVENT YOU SHOULD RETURN
THE PROGRAM WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS FROM SHIPMENT TO THE PLACE FROM
WHICH IT WAS ACQUIRED, AND YOUR LICENSE FEE WILL BE REFUNDED. THIS
LICENSE AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT CONCERNING
THE PROGRAM BETWEEN YOU AND LUCENT, AND IT SUPERSEDES ANY PRIOR
PROPOSAL, REPRESENTATION OR UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE PARTIES.
1. License Grant. Lucent hereby grants to you, and you accept, a non-exclusive,
non-transferable license to use the computer software, including all patches, error
corrections, updates and revisions thereto in machine-readable, object code form only
(the “Software”), and the accompanying User Documentation, only as authorized in
this License Agreement. The Software may be used only on a single computer owned,
leased, or otherwise controlled by you; or in the event of inoperability of that
computer, on a backup computer selected by you. You agree that you will not pledge,
lease, rent, or share your rights under this License Agreement, and that you will not,
without Lucent’s prior written consent, assign or transfer your rights hereunder. You
agree that you may not modify, reverse assemble, reverse compile, or otherwise
translate the Software or permit a third party to do so. You may make one copy of the
Software and User Documentation for backup purposes. Any such copies of the
Software or the User Documentation shall include Lucent’s copyright and other
proprietary notices. Except as authorized under this paragraph, no copies of the
Program or any portions thereof may be made by you or any person under your
authority or control.
2. Lucent’s Rights. You agree that the Software and the User Documentation are
proprietary, confidential products of Lucent or Lucent's licensor protected under US
copyright law and you will use your best efforts to maintain their confidentiality. You
further acknowledge and agree that all right, title and interest in and to the Program,
including associated intellectual property rights, are and shall remain with Lucent or
Lucent's licensor. This License Agreement does not convey to you an interest in or to
the Program, but only a limited right of use revocable in accordance with the terms of
this License Agreement.

3. License Fees. The license fees paid by you are paid in consideration of the license
granted under this License Agreement.
4. Term. This License Agreement is effective upon your opening of the package(s) or
use of the switch(es) containing Software and shall continue until terminated. You
may terminate this License Agreement at any time by returning the Program and all
copies or portions thereof to Lucent. Lucent may terminate this License Agreement
upon the breach by you of any term hereof. Upon such termination by Lucent, you
agree to return to Lucent the Program and all copies or portions thereof. Termination
of this License Agreement shall not prejudice Lucent's rights to damages or any other
available remedy.
5. Limited Warranty. Lucent warrants, for your benefit alone, for a period of 90
days from the date of shipment of the Program by Lucent (the “Warranty Period”) that
the program diskettes in which the Software is contained are free from defects in
material and workmanship. Lucent further warrants, for your benefit alone, that during
the Warranty Period the Program shall operate substantially in accordance with the
User Documentation. If during the Warranty Period, a defect in the Program appears,
you may return the Program to the party from which the Program was acquired for
either replacement or, if so elected by such party, refund of amounts paid by you under
this License Agreement. You agree that the foregoing constitutes your sole and
exclusive remedy for breach by Lucent of any warranties made under this Agreement.
EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH ABOVE, THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED
“AS IS”, AND LUCENT DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES,
WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND ANY WARRANTIES OF NONINFRINGEMENT.
6. Limitation of Liability. Lucent’s cumulative liability to you or any other party
for any loss or damages resulting from any claims, demands, or actions arising out of
or relating to this License Agreement shall not exceed the greater of: (i) ten thousand
US dollars ($10,000) or (ii) the total license fee paid to Lucent for the use of the
Program. In no event shall Lucent be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential,
special, punitive or exemplary damages or lost profits, even if Lucent has been
advised of the possibility of such damages.

7. Proprietary Rights Indemnification. Lucent shall at its expense defend you
against and, subject to the limitations set forth elsewhere herein, pay all costs and
damages made in settlement or awarded against you resulting from a claim that the
Program as supplied by Lucent infringes a United States copyright or a United States
patent, or misappropriates a United States trade secret, provided that you: (a) provide
prompt written notice of any such claim, (b) allow Lucent to direct the defense and
settlement of the claim, and (c) provide Lucent with the authority, information, and
assistance that Lucent deems reasonably necessary for the defense and settlement of
the claim. You shall not consent to any judgment or decree or do any other act in
compromise of any such claim without first obtaining Lucent’s written consent. In any
action based on such a claim, Lucent may, at its sole option, either: (1) obtain for you
the right to continue using the Program, (2) replace or modify the Program to avoid
the claim, or (3) if neither (1) nor (2) can reasonably be effected by Lucent, terminate
the license granted hereunder and give you a prorata refund of the license fee paid for
such Program, calculated on the basis of straight-line depreciation over a five-year
useful life. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Lucent will have no liability for
any infringement or misappropriation claim of any kind if such claim is based on: (i)
the use of other than the current unaltered release of the Program and Lucent has
provided or offers to provide such release to you for its then current license fee, or (ii)
use or combination of the Program with programs or data not supplied or approved by
Lucent to the extent such use or combination caused the claim.
8. Export Control. You agree not to export or disclose to anyone except a United
States national any portion of the Program supplied by Lucent without first obtaining
the required permits or licenses to do so from the US Office of Export Administration,
and any other appropriate government agency.
9. Governing Law. This License Agreement shall be construed and governed in
accordance with the laws and under the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts, USA. Any dispute arising out of this Agreement shall be referred to an
arbitration proceeding in Boston, Massachusetts, USA by the American Arbitration
Association.
10. Miscellaneous. If any action is brought by either party to this License
Agreement against the other party regarding the subject matter hereof, the prevailing
party shall be entitled to recover, in addition to any other relief granted, reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses of arbitration. Should any term of this License
Agreement be declared void or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction,
such declaration shall have no effect on the remaining terms hereof. The failure of
either party to enforce any rights granted hereunder or to take action against the other
party in the event of any breach hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver by that party
as to subsequent enforcement of rights or subsequent actions in the event of future
breaches.

B-STDX, CBX, and GX Network Management Station Installation Guide xiii
Beta Draft Confidential
About This Guide
The B-STDX, CBX, and GX Network Management Station Installation Guide provides
software installation instructions for setting up your UNIX Network Management
Station (NMS) platform. This task-oriented guide describes, step-by-step, the process
for installing the required software for configuring Lucent switches.
This guide supports the following NMS software release:
•NavisCore
™, Release 09.00.00.00
What You Need to Know
As a reader of this guide, you should be familiar with UNIX and HP OpenView. You
should also know about relational databases to properly maintain Sybase, which is
used by NavisCore.
This guide assumes that you have already installed the Lucent switch hardware. See
the “Related Documents” section (page xvii) for a list of documents that describe
these and other tasks.
Be sure to read the Software Release Notice (SRN) that accompanies each product.
The SRN contains the most current feature information and requirements.
Note – This guide is intended to be used for fresh installations of NMS software. It
should not be used for upgrading existing networks. This guide provides basic NMS
installation guidelines but does not provide network/configuration-specific
information that will be necessary for production environments. With the introduction
of Sybase 12.5.0.1, using default settings during the Sybase installation is no longer an
appropriate path and will result in degradation of performance on the Sybase server.
Contact the Technical Support organization for specific tuning information that is
needed based upon network configuration and usage. See “Technical Support” on
page xviii.

B-STDX, CBX, and GX Network Management Station Installation Guide 1-1
Beta Draft Confidential
1
Overview
The Network Management Station (NMS) is a dedicated Sun system on which you run
software programs to configure, monitor, and control a Lucent switch network. This
chapter describes the recommended hardware and required software to install the
NMS.
General Requirements
Lucent requires that you use a dedicated Sun system for network management. Lucent
does not support any other UNIX operating system.
NMS System Configuration Requirements
You can configure your NMS in the following ways:
Single-system NMS Configuration — Sybase and one Lucent product (NavisCore,
Statistics Server, or CNM Proxy Agent) reside on one workstation.
Two-system NMS Configuration — HP OpenView and NavisCore reside on one
workstation, and Sybase resides on another. This type of configuration enables Sybase
to support multiple Sybase databases (NavisCore, Statistics Server, and CNM Proxy
Agent).
Large-system NMS Configuration — Sybase, Statistics Server, and one other
Lucent product (NavisCore or CNM Proxy Agent) all reside on one workstation.
Sybase can support all Lucent server products that reside on remote systems. For this
configuration, Lucent recommends the Sun™Enterprise™4500 (see Table 1-1 on
page 1-2).

Overview
NMS System Configuration Requirements
Table 1-1 lists the system configuration specifications required by the NMS for
optimal performance.
In addition, your workstation(s) must be equipped with the following:
•CD-ROMdrive
• Tape drive
Note – You do not need the tape drive for the NMS installation because the NMS
software comes on CD-ROM. However, you need the tape drive for Sybase database
backups. The tape drive does not need to be directly connected to either the HP
OpenView/NavisCore or Sybase NMS Servers. However, to perform Sybase backups,
the database must be saved to tape and the tape drive needs to be accessible from the
Sybase Server.
Note – Lucent recommends that you use a 21-inch monitor for optimal appearance of
windows and fonts in the HP OpenView/NavisCore graphical user interface.
