Ericsson LBI-39169 manual Customizing MSM/SM SITE/DEVICE Labels, MSM message file

HP application which finds IPs. It is also possible that directly connected elements may be added prior to their discovery by the IPMAP application. Care must be taken to ensure that the object created is also used by IPMAP. Not only must the selection name equal the IP address, but the IP Host Name must equal the Host Name that IPMAP will find. Note that by associating the EDACS icon with the same object defined by the IPMAP application, the directly connected element will have a child submap containing icons representing the interfaces defined in MIB-II (i.e., the IP interface group will have an icon). The parent of this child submap is in the IPMAP screens, not the EDACS-created screen. This feature can aide in network connection debugging. Namely, to see where this element is in the overall network, enter the IP child map and select the "parent" button.

14.8CUSTOMIZING MSM/SM SITE/DEVICE LABELS

Use the following procedure to customize the site or device labels.

1.As root user perform the following:

> cd /usr/EDACS/nls/C <ENTER>

2.Edit the MSM message file, /usr/EDACS/nls/C/msm_msg.msg or the SM message file, /usr/EDACS/nls/C/sm_msg.msg, to reflect the new label(s).

> chmod	777	/usr/EDACS/nls/C/msm_msg.msg	<ENTER>	(MSM message file)
or
> chmod	777	/usr/EDACS/nls/C/sm_msg.msg	<ENTER>	(SM message file)

3.Invoke the vuepad and edit the files as required. See the following examples.

For example, if you want to change the label for site 1 from “Site 1” to “Candlers” change the line for site 1 as follows:

As reads: 25014 “Site 1” Site_1_label

Change to read: 25014 “Candlers” Site_1_label

NOTE

NOTE

There is only one Site X label. Modification of the Site X label will be reflected in all nodes. Remember, Site labels may be up to eight (8) characters long and Device labels may be up to ten (10) characters long.

To change a device label for site 1 from “Device 33” to read “Dallas” change the line as follows:

As reads: 15021 “Device 33” Device_33_label

Change to read: 15021 “Dallas” Device_33_label
