Setting Up NetScout Manager Plus for FrameSaver Devices

Before Getting Started

Before getting started, you need to copy some OpenLane directories to a NetScout Manager Plus user directory. OpenLane provides these directories as a starting point for loading new alarms and creating history files. A template of alarms and values for configuring alarms and several templates for creating history files specific to the FrameSaver unit are available.

OpenLane paradyne directories include the following:

HProperties:

paradyne.fsd file found in OpenLane/netscout/alarms/directory

HProperties:

paradyne.fst file found in OpenLane/netscout/alarms/directory

HAlarms:

slvtemplate.fct file found in

OpenLane/netscout/alarms/directory

HUser history:

pd*.udh files found in OpenLane/netscout/userHistory/directory

These files should be moved to $NSHOME/usr so they can be used.

See Adding SLV Alarms Using a Template and Creating History Files for additional information.
