SpreadSheet Interface

This chapter describes the SpreadSheet Interface (SSI) Conversion Plug-in, which translates network design information between NMT and a Microsoft Excel-compatible format. SSI requires that you use Microsoft Excel Version 6.2 or later. This chapter contains the following sections:

•NMT to Microsoft Excel

•Microsoft Excel to NMT

The SSI plug-in converts the .cnf file into its component tables and saves them as .dbf files; the SSI then tars (archives) the file for easy transfer to a PC or Macintosh platform. The SSI provides a PC toolkit to translate the spreadsheet files back into the .cnf file format readable by NMT. See for a schematic overview of the SSI process.

The MS Excel translation can be done from within the NMT or from the UNIX Command Line Interface (CLI).

NMT to Microsoft Excel

To write to the spread sheet interface directly from NMT, go to the FILES/EXPORT menu and select DBF Files.

Note To write to the spread sheet interface from the UNIX CLI, use the nmt2tar and tar2nmt commands. If you are on the UNIX version, you will be prompted if you wish to have a tar file made of all the DBF files for easier transport to PC.

Note This section is for the UNIX Command Line Version of SSI on a UNIX OS. For a PC version of NMT, use the File<Import/Export menu to read and write to DBF files. Copy the SSI Macro to the XLStart directory for the load and unload commands.
