3-12 Starting SPMA Tools and Applications

Starting SPMA Tools and Applications
Except for SPMA Discover, all SPMA tools and applications are
accessible from the Glyph menu, from inside the Hub View or Bridge
View, and/or from the command line (for stand-alone mode). The
Glyph menu for each Cabletron device contains the SPMA tools and
applications that are appropriate to that device. For example, repeater
devices such as the IRM3 will have a Hub View menu item; bridging
devices, such as the EMME, will also have a Bridge View menu item;
devices that support Flash EPROM will include a TFTP Download
selection.
To access the Glyph menu and launch an SPMA tool or application:
1. Click mouse button 3 on the Cabletron glyph to display the Glyph
menu.
2. Drag down to select the tool or application you want to run.
Additional instructions for launching each application are included at
the beginning of each chapter in the SPMA Tools Guide and the
device- and application-speciÞc UserÕs Guides.
NOTE
For more information about your deviceÕs MIB structure and what objects
can be found in what components, consult the appendix at the end of your
SPMA device-specific UserÕs Guide.
NOTE
Because they are intended for use with several different network
management platforms, the instructions provided in the SPMA Tools
Guide and the device- and application-specific UserÕs Guides for
launching each application simply state that you should access the icon
menu and drag down to find the desired selection. For Solstice Enterprise
Manager, the equivalent of the icon menu is the Glyph menu.
