Lucent Technologies Network Access Module manual Using PMVision, Install PMVision

Using PMVision 6

PMVision is a Java-based program with a graphical user interface (GUI) that can be used to monitor and configure the INA module. Information about using PMVision on other platforms can be found in the PMVision User’s Guide, which describes the capabilities of PMVision in more detail.

PMVision runs on platforms that use Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, or NT 4.0 and later. A platform with a 486/DX or faster processor with 32 MB RAM minimum is required. A processor with 48 megabytes RAM is recommended.

This chapter briefly describes how to use PMVision to configure a INA module. Consult the PMVision User’s Guide for information on using other PMVision functions. Topics covered include:

•“Install PMVision” on page 6-1

•“Connect the Workstation to the INA Module” on page 6-1

•“Run PMVision” on page 6-2

•“Communicate with the INA Module” on page 6-3

•“Selecting PMVision Functions” on page 6-4

Install PMVision

To install PMVision on a Windows 95, Windows 98 or NT 4.0 platform, run the pmvision_install.exe program found on the INA software CD. Follow the instructions provided by the program.

Connect the Workstation to the INA Module

For PMVision to communicate to the module, an Ethernet connection between the workstation and the module must exist. You can usually make the connection through your network. A free standing workstation and a crossover Ethernet cable can be used instead.

Over a LAN

The Ethernet address for the INA module must be set before you can use PMVision. If the INAWizard has been already been used to configure the module, then the Ether0 address is set. The Ether0 address can also be set through a console connection and the command line interface. See “Connect a Console (Optional)” on page 3-3and “Set the Ether0 Network Address” on page 5-3.
