To view the customized and dynamic graphics used by the NMS, you must also download and install:

•Adobe SVG Viewer plug-in

The plug-in is available from the Adobe web site: www.adobe.com/svg/viewer/install/

This viewer supports Scalable Vector Graphic technology (SVG); a powerful tool used for high quality graphics that are dynamically created from real-time data.

Accessing the NMS

Both the user name and password are case sensitive.

The Network Management System (NMS) can be accessed using a supported web browser (page 5).

You require a user name and password to access the system. Each system user is assigned their user name and password when first introduced to the NMS. If you did not receive a user name and pass- word, contact your system administrator. (See “Managing User Accounts” on page 7 for more information.)
