Configuring a Device Group
A device group is a user-defined category that identifies a set of devices.
Creating a device group provides you easier access to a device when you use
the Selection Browser (see
Device Selection
in Appendix A,
NMS Windows
Conventions
). You may want to group devices that have similar characteristics,
such as geographic location (Southern Region) or functional type (control
modems).
Device Groups commands allow you to create, change, delete, or print device
group configuration information.
Procedure
1. Select Config from the Main Menu.
2. Choose Network from the Config menu.
3. Choose Device Groups from the Network cascading menu. The Device
Groups Configuration input form appears.
4. Enter the following information in the fields on the Device Groups
Configuration input form.
Group Name: A label (maximum 15 characters) that is unique to the network
and used to identify a set of devices.
Comments: An optional field for additional device group information
(maximum 40 characters).
