3.3Using Multiport Management Software at Remote NMS

The LED indicators available on the physical METTF10xx or MFETF10xx Multichannel Media Converter also can be displayed graphically at a remote network management station (NMS), using installed TRANSITION Networks Multiport Management Software.

The Multiport Management Software brings up a drawing that represents each selected managed METTF10xx or MFETF10xx Multichannel Media Converter, identified by IP address. “LED indicators” represent physical LEDs on physical METTF10xx or MFETF10xx devices. The “LEDs” are "illuminated" to indicate the state of the METTF10xx or MFETF10xx at the time of the last Multiport Management Software polling.

In addition, METTF10xx or MFETF10xx Multichannel Media Converter status information is available in text format.

To bring up the Multiport Management Software graphical display for a selected METTF10xx or MFETF10xx Multichannel Media Converter:

Standalone Win32* Systems

1.At the remote NMS, access the MULTIPORT MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE ICON from the START menu within the TRANSITION options in the PROGRAMS menu.

The Multiport Management Software comes up and then prompts for the IP address of the METTF10xx or MFETF10xx Multichannel Meda Converter to be managed.

2.Enter the IP address of the manageable METTF10xx or MFETF10xx Multichannel Media Converter.

A graphical representation of the selected METTF10xx or MFETF10xx Multichannel Meda Converter comes up, with the node IP address displayed in the upper left corner of the screen.

System HP Open View

1.At the remote NMS, from the GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE, select the TRANSITION icon.

2.Select the TOOLS icon from the menu bar and scroll down to select the MULTIPORT MANAGER option.

3.Scroll down to select the node (IP address) of the manageable METTF10xx or MFETF10xx Multichannel Media Converter. A graphical representation of the selected METTF10xx or MFETF10xx Multichannel Meda Converter comes up, with the node IP address displayed in the upper left corner of the screen.

*Microsoft Windows 95, 98, ME, NT 4.0, Windows 2000

CAUTION: Do NOT make IP configuration changes from the Multiport Management Software text-format displays. Make IP configuration changes ONLY through the serial port command-line interface. (See Section 2. Installation.) Failure to observe this caution could result in unanticipated configuration faults and failures.
