Setting Up Network Health for FrameSaver Devices

For additional information about installing, accessing, and managing FrameSaver SLV devices through Concord's Network Health, and for information about applicable reports, refer to:

HNetwork Health Installation Guide to help you install the application.

HNetwork Health User Guide to help you get started using the application.

HNetwork Health Reports Guide to help you understand and use Frame Relay reports.

HNetwork Health ± Traffic Accountant Reports Guide to help you understand and use Traffic Accountant reports.

Installation and Setup of Network Health

Refer to the Network Health Installation Guide for installation instructions, and follow the instructions applicable to your network platform. Once Network Health is installed, you need to set up the application so it will support FrameSaver units.

Each Network Health application provides a different set of functions, called a module. Each module used requires a separate license to gain access to those features and functions. Make sure you license the Poller application so you can poll SLV units and collect data.

To use this application:

1.Discover network elements, units, and interfaces in the network.

2.Configure the Network Health applications, then save them.

3.Organize elements into groups for reporting purposes.

4.Set up and run reports.

Setup and operation information is contained in the Network Health User Guide. The sections that follow address only the minimal procedural steps needed once you have access to the applications.

See the Network Health User and Reports Guides for additional startup information and a full discussion of the application's features and how to use them.
