9. CONFIGURING EDACS DEVICES
The Network Manager provides a single point of control and can configure devices by either bringing up clients running
on the Network Manager or by logging into devices with the native access mode. The PI, BCU/CAL, and EDG are accessed
in the native access mode. These devices do not have local editors. The Accounting: File Transfer (ftp) menu item may be
used to move configuration files to the Network Manager for editing and then transferred back to the device.
The EDACS Configuration Menu presents configuration functions associated with the EDACS device represented by the
icon. The following submenus are accessible from the Configuration menu.
•
Configure
: Brings up the local client Graphical User Interface to configure the device.
•
Connect
: Connects to the EDACS device (i.e., via Telnet) to use the device’s native configuration utilities.
•
Reboot
: Automatically reboots the EDACS device.
•
Restart
: Restarts traffic after a shutdown.
•
Shutdown
: Shuts down traffic without losing connectivity.
9.1 INTEGRATED CEC/IMC MANAGER
The CEC/IMC Manager client is invoked using the
EDACS-
>Configuration->Configure
menu item with the IMC Manager icon
selected. The CEC/IMC Manager for Windows NT employs the
client-server paradigm. The server, which interfaces to the
CEC/IMC, runs on the Windows NT platform while the client may
run on either the Windows NT platform or the EDACS Network
Manager UNIX platform. The CEC/IMC Manager HP-UX client has
the ability to dynamically change between the Motif and Windows
environment appearance. The CEC/IMC Manager communicates
from its Graphical User Interface (GUI), or client, to its underlying
engine via Open Systems Foundation (OSF) compliant Remote
Procedure Calls (RPCs). This strategy implies that if the Ethernet link
between the IMC Manager and the EDACS Network Manager goes
down (which should be highly unlikely), then the EDACS Network
Manager interface for the IMC will only be able to report that the link
is down.
