LAUNCH THE GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE (GUI)
Summary: This procedure describes the processes involved to successfully logon to the system
and launch the Graphical User Interface (GUI).
1. Verify the IP address set on the NMIC using a “ping” command to both NMIC IP addresses
by typing: ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (xxx = 255 or less) to ensure both EIMs are operational.
The pings should display on the screen. If the ping delays returning a response and times
out, check Ethernet connection cabling and also verify the correct NMIC IP address was
entered.
2. Establish a Telnet session to the active NMIC using the customer defined IP address set in
DLP-703 (or set up a connection name on X-Terminal for the particular NMIC and select
it.)
3. Export the display to the X-Terminal IP address using this command:
export DISPLAY=<hostname>:0.0
Note: Hostname is the IP address of the workstation. To determine the IP address of the
host, see your system administrator.
5. A log on screen appears prompting the user to enter a login name and password. If this is
the first time the system has been turned up, the name should be “root”. The password is
user defined and should be the same as the one selected in DLP-703.
6. The Graphical User interface (GUI) can be launched once the connection is established by
entering “CellworxVision”. It may take a few moments for the GUI to come up. When it
does, it will request a list of NEs and fiber fragments and will display them (if they have
been discovered previously) as a network view as shown in the example in Figure 705-1. A
window appears on the GUI that indicates the tasks that the GUI is performing in the
background. This window is not needed by the user and may be closed by selecting the
Close button.
7. If performing initial turn up of a new ring network, the NE and Fiber Fragment requests
will both return empty since a discovery has not previously been requested on the new
NMIC. The system is now ready for initial turn-up. Return to NTP.
Stop! You have completed this procedure.
