3. Screen Descriptions for NMS Client
3.1 Login
This chapter presents the typical management method for the ArcLight
network, using NMS Client. It is assumed that the NMS Client is setup
and an initial VMT is configured (although it is not necessary to have a
VMT configured to run the client).
The NMS Server/Client can run with no other hub components present
on the network; i.e., the RtNMS and ABS/MCD are not required.
Once the ArcLight hardware has been installed and the hub system
started, click on the run client icon, shown below, on the desktop to
start the ArcLight Client.
An ArcLight Management Client window displays, as shown in
Figure
3-1. Because ArcLight network management supports multiple
systems, when a new Hub/NOC starts up it joins an existing network
that is already in operation. Hubs that are part of the network are listed
on the left tree menu and have an icon placed at their location on the
world map view. After setting up a new hub server, it can be added to
the map view by right-clicking on the map, selecting “Add a Hub” from
the menu that appears, and typing in the IP address of the new server.
This prompts the ArcLight Management Client to connect to the server
and add it to the map and the left-hand tree view. Once this has been
accomplished the operator can administer the server and new network.
