LAUNCH THE GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE (GUI)

Summary: This procedure describes the processes involved to successfully logon to the system and launch the Graphical User Interface (GUI).

1.Verify the IP address set on the NMIC using a “ping” command to both NMIC IP addresses by typing: ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (xxx = 255 or less) to ensure both EIMs are operational. The pings should display on the screen. If the ping delays returning a response and times out, check Ethernet connection cabling and also verify the correct NMIC IP address was entered.

2.Establish a Telnet session to the active NMIC using the customer defined IP address set in DLP-703(or set up a connection name on X-Terminal for the particular NMIC and select it.)

3.Export the display to the X-Terminal IP address using this command:

export DISPLAY=<hostname>:0.0

Note: Hostname is the IP address of the workstation. To determine the IP address of the host, see your system administrator.

5.A log on screen appears prompting the user to enter a login name and password. If this is the first time the system has been turned up, the name should be “root”. The password is user defined and should be the same as the one selected in DLP-703.

6.The Graphical User interface (GUI) can be launched once the connection is established by entering “CellworxVision”. It may take a few moments for the GUI to come up. When it does, it will request a list of NEs and fiber fragments and will display them (if they have been discovered previously) as a network view as shown in the example in Figure 705-1. A window appears on the GUI that indicates the tasks that the GUI is performing in the background. This window is not needed by the user and may be closed by selecting the Close button.

7.If performing initial turn up of a new ring network, the NE and Fiber Fragment requests will both return empty since a discovery has not previously been requested on the new NMIC. The system is now ready for initial turn-up. Return to NTP.

Stop! You have completed this procedure.
