Note If you are using a CORBA connection and require notifications, the router must be explicitly configured for each client that is to receive notifications. These notifications include real-time inventory updates (for example, online insertion and removal [OIR]), alarms, and change-of-configuration events. See the “Configuring the Router and CWI Client” section on page 4 for information on configuring the router to send notifications to a specified client.

These prerequisites sections are described:

CWI Client Prerequisites

Ensure that the CWI client is correctly set up to communicate with the router. You should test the client connection. No special configuration is required on CWI client.

Contact your system administrator to obtain the following information required to configure the router for use with CWI:

Router hostname

CWI client IP address if the client DNS name is not registered in a DNS server accessible by the router

CWI Client System Requirements

These sections list the CWI client hardware and software requirements. The CWI client hardware requirements ensure that the CWI client has the proper verified system requirements for the chosen platform.
