System Management Console User Guide
Standard
Alarm summary bar
This narrow horizontal bar, located below the toolbar, provides a concise system-
wide summary of alarms for managed and monitored MCS network elements. The
background color of the alarm bar (green, yellow, orange, or red) indicates the
most severe alarm (none, minor, major, or critical) for the system. You can see the
total number of alarms for the system, as well as the number of alarms of each
severity level.
For information about alarms, see Alarm and Log Reference (NN42020-703).
Configuration view
The configuration view appears in the left pane of the System Management
Console. After you select a leaf node in the tree, a new window appears in the
application area in the right pane. You can collapse and expand the tree structure.
Information is organized into four sections:
• Network Data and Mtc: Use this section to define information such as IP
addresses, log report formats, OSS servers, and other data that does not
change often, but is reused during other configuration tasks. Enter the data in
this section to avoid retyping, and typing errors, during other configuration
tasks. Use this section to manage License keys for activating features.
• Servers: Use this section to configure servers and to monitor their hardware
and operating systems.
• Databases: Each Database has a folder. The folder contains software load and
configuration data so that the System Manager can connect to the database.
The System Manager can then distribute database connection information to
other network elements that need database access.
• Network Elements: Use this section to configure all managed and monitored
MCS network elements. Each network element type has a folder, and each
configured network element has a subfolder. After you select a network
element folder, the Alarm Browser, OM Browser, and Log Browser icons
become active for that network element. Use this section to make changes to
load deployment; configuration parameters; om, log, and accounting record
configuration. Use this section to perform maintenance tasks, such as start and
stop, for network elements.
