COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System

Device Addressing

Device addressing allows the 6800 Series NMS to communicate with the devices in the network. Refer to Appendix D of the COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System User's/System Administrator's Guide for a description of the device addressing method accepted by NMS.

Command Support ± Customer Configurations

This manual addresses all NMS modem/DSU commands although some commands may not pertain to your specific configuration. If you attempt to execute a command that is not supported by your configuration, either the NMS will not act on the command or if the command is sent, the network will respond with an appropriate message. For example, if you attempt to send the Make Busy (mb) command to 3600 Series DSUs in your system configuration, the following message is displayed:

Test not sent. Test device mismatch.

Command Access

When you log on to the 6800 Series NMS, the 6800 Series NMS Tasks menu displays (Figure 1-1).

To issue a modem/DSU command, select the Manager task. Then, select Network Control. Once you have accessed the Network Control task, you can type any valid modem/DSU command abbreviation in the enter selection field of any submenu within Network Control to access the command; or you can select a modem/DSU command from any of the Network Control submenus that list the commands with their assigned abbreviations. Once the selection is made, you can select Go (F2) to request the command's input form. For more information on selecting commands depending on basic-feature or full-feature workstations, refer to the COMSPHERE 6800 Series Network Management System User's/System Administrator's Guide. All modem/DSU commands display one or more input forms prior to command execution, and display one or more results forms after the command has executed.
