4.3.3.3 Checking operating states (via the NMC-511 FaultManager)
Using the NMC511 FaultManager network management client, faults occurring in an
ACCESSNET-T IP network can be detected and localized rapidly. This facilitates prompt
fault elimination.
All network constituents and connections of an ACCESSNET-T IP are monitored via the
NMC-511 FaultManager. Operating states and faults are detected by the network man-
agement system and visualized via the connected workstations, on which the NMC-511
FaultManager is installed and enabled.
The NMC-511 FaultManager displays the operating states and faults of the network con-
stituents in the respective network in an alarm status list. This makes permanent network
monitoring possible.
Checking the operating statuses via the NMC-511 FaultManager requires an NMC com-
puter that is configured accordingly, with installed NMC-511 FaultManager that is con-
nected with the ACCESSNET-T IP.
Besides checking the respective hardware and software components, the application
connections between the network elements should also be checked to ensure the correct
connection.
Checking the operating state (via the NMC-511 FaultManager)
Preparation:
n The NMC-511 FaultManager must have been started.
1. Use the Equipment view of the NMC-511 FaultManager to navigate to the corre-
sponding network constituent (hardware or software component).
2. Ensure that the corresponding network constituent is shown in green in the
Equipment view of the NMC511 FaultManager.
ð
If the respective network constituent is shown in red, you must perform a fault
analysis, refer to NMC-511 FaultManager User Manual.
3. Check whether a predecessor alarm status is displayed for the respective network
constituent which displays a fault that may already have existed.
ð
If the predecessor alarm status is shown in red, it is recommended to generate
a report via the Analysis perspective.
4. Navigate to the Service perspective and check whether corresponding services are
shown in green.
ð
If services are shown in red, you must perform a fault analysis, refer to
NMC-511 FaultManager User Manual.
5. In the Equipment view, check whether all application connections are displayed in
green.
ð
If application connections are shown in red, you must perform a fault analysis,
refer to NMC-511 FaultManager User Manual.
The function test has been completed.
