Understanding the NMS Maps
The Network Management System Integration (NMSI) is one of the programs in DNM,
and is intended to integrate DNM into the OpenView and NetView operating systems.
This capability does not exist for UNIX Stand-Alone systems. UNIX Stand-Alone users
execute a UNIX command in the command prompt line to integrate the DNM product into
their own existing applications.
This integration allows you to monitor your Avaya telecommunication systems and data
networks from the same workstation.
NMS maps NMSI uses the Auto-Discovery program to find and transmit system data from the
managed nodes (supported systems) to the NMSI programs.
The NMSI uses the data received from Auto-Discovery to create and update the NMS
maps, which include:
•NMS Root map
• DEFINITY map
• DEFINITY USA and State maps
• Custom maps
The sections below describe the objects (system icons and connection lines) that di sp lay
on the map and the color schemes that indicate the current status of the objects.
