Paradyne 9820, 9820-2M, 9820-8M, and 9820-45M Getting Started

Setting Up NetScout Manager Plus for FrameSaver Devices

10-2 9820-A2-GB20-20

June 2000

Getting Started

Before configuring NetScout Manager Plus, 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.
