The following is a brief description of the sub-menu functions:
Displays allows you to monitor the health of the network, and provides direct
access to a device’s front panel.
Statistics allows you to access windows and functions that provide various
statistical views of network connectivity.
Config allows you to view and modify the configuration of both the device
network and network management system.
Commands allows you to directly control and test devices in the network,
establish a dial connection, and perform a firmware download for 3900 Series
devices.
Reports allows you to generate reports provided by the system.
Session allows you to logoff, change the current user, or completely shut
down the network management system.
Help provides access to the NMS Online Help for information about the Main
Menu menu bar’s commands.
Where to Go from Here
If this is an initial installation of the NMS software, use the Network command
from the Config menu to build your network. Refer to Chapter 4,
Configuration
,
for more on the use of these commands.
After the network is created, use the Main Menu selections to control and test
devices, display statistics and network activity, and generate both graphic and
text reports describing network operations.
