The Orchid 1035 is a network management mediation device (or management concentrator) for connecting equipment without built-in IP protocol stack to the Network Management System (NMS).
 
It is available as a desktop or as a card for the card nest CN4.

 

The 1035 Orchid collects management information from the managed equipment and translates it into a number of IP based protocols: SNMP, TELNET, HTTP or PING. This is called IP proxy functionality.
 
The 1035 Orchid can also encapsulate the Telindus proprietary CMS2 (Card nest Management System) protocol into UDP/IP packets. TMA, TMA CLI, TMA Inventory management, TMA path management and TMA for HP OpenView® communicate in this way with the 1035 Orchid. Advantages of this approach are the efficient use of the available bandwidth and delivery confirmation.
