You can sort all the device types according to all the fields contained in the ATM and VLAN Devices database.

After you modify, change, add or delete devices from the ATM and VLAN database you must restart the application for the modifications to take effect.

Using the Manual To discover devices manually, you need to set the discovery mode to Device Discovery Manual Discovery mode. Select the Manual Discovery toggle in the

Assistant Manual Discovery Setup window. See Figure 4-1. You must also enable Manual Discovery mode either through a customization file or the NMSetup Wizard. See Chapter 1, Figure 1-35.

After the mode is set, the device database must be manually populated using the manual discovery database configuration assistant.

Once the database is populated, the ATM and VLAN application must be restarted to recognize the newly entered devices.

From the Root window, select the ATM Devices icon and then select the

Configuration Assistant from the ATMvLAN menu, or in the Topology
