– The title bar shows the name of the application.
– The menu bar contains the available menus from which you
can choose commands.
– The status bar displays various status updates such as the
current time, or a description of the currently selected menu
option.
– Selecting (single-clicking) an item usually means marking it
with the selection cursor, which can then appear as a highlight,
a dotted rectangle, or both; selecting alone does not start an
action.
– Choosing (single-clicking) an item carries out an action;
starting an application, opening a window, or carrying out a
command, i.e. you choose an item from a menu and choose a
command in a dialog box.
– A dialog box appears when you need to supply additional

1. CHAPTER 1
GETTING STARTED
1.1 ABOUT CEC/IMC MANAGER V5.0
Starting with release (version) 5.0 the CEC/IMC Manager is a 32 bit
Windows NT application. To provide remote management capability
the architecture of the CEC/IMC Manager is Client/Server. The
application is divided into two executables; GUI_SRVR.exe is the
Server application that runs as a Windows NT service, and W_GUI.exe
is the Graphical User Interface (GUI) application run from the ICON
selected in the WINMOM program group. This release of CEC/IMC
Manager also includes an optional SNMP agent that runs as a Windows
NT service. The SNMP agent is required to provide a Network
Management station remote monitoring of the CEC/IMC Manager
directly and the CEC/IMC by proxy. The installation procedure for this
agent is found in APPENDIX C - SNMP AGENT and PROXY for
CEC/IMC (Optional). Once installed, configure the agent in
accordance with the configuration procedures in EDACS
Management Installation and Technical Reference Manual (LBI-
39171).
®
Network
Throughout this pro gram there will be references to configuration d ata
saved to, stored at, and read/retrieved from the CEC/IMC Manager hard
disk. This hard disk is located at the machine (PC) that the
GUI_SRVR.exe is running from, not the machine running the GUI
application unless the same machine is performing both services. In
most cases, if not all, the machine running the server (GUI _SRVR.exe)
will be local to the CEC/IMC.
The CEC/IMC Manager for Windows NT Client has been ported to
HP-UX platforms to run in conjunction with Network Manager. For
users running an HP-UX version of the CEC/I MC Manager Client all
references in this manual to W_GUI.exe, Graphical User Interface
(GUI), or CEC/IMC Manager for Windows NT Client should be
considered "CEC/IMC Manager HP-UX Client."
1.2 ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This manual describes the CEC/IMC Manager (MOM PC) user
interface and functions. It is intended to aid the user in performing
various CEC/IMC Manager functions such as CEC/IMC configuration
1-1
LBI-39224
and viewing interface module status data. The various screens and
terms the user may encounter are walked through and explaine d in full
detail. The following sub-sections highlight the major functions of the
CEC/IMC Manager.

LBI-39224
1.3 DATA LOGGING FEATURE
One of the most important features of the CEC/IMC Manager
(MOM PC) is its ability to log data. All data that is placed on the GSC
Bus in the CEC/IMC is logged at the MOM Controller Board. The
MOM Controller Board then periodically dumps its data log buffer to
the CEC/IMC Manager through their serial link. The CEC/IMC
Manager writes this data to its hard disk, where it can be extracted and
viewed either on- or off-line. The on-line functions are available under
System Monitoring Diagnostics. The off-line functions are:
CALLS.EXE Used to extract all calls made within the
CEC/IMC.
GSCMON.EXE Used to extract all messages from the logged
data.

2.3 DISKETTE HANDLING
While working with your diskettes you should consider the following
handling procedures:
– Always store diskettes in their envelope
– Insert diskettes into the drive carefully
– Use only felt tipped pens to write on a diskette label
– Store diskettes at a comfortable room temperature
– Refrain from touching the recording surface
– Do not bend the diskettes
– Do not allow any form of liquid to come in contact with the
diskette surface
– Keep diskettes away from magnetic fields as found in
electronic equipment.
If you follow these simple guidelines you will receive long service from
your diskettes.
2.4 MAKING BACKUPS
This software is provided on 3-1/2 inch diskettes labeled "CEC/IMC
Manager V5.0 for Windows NT." These diskettes are very sensitive
and fragile, and should be handled with care and stored in a secure area.
NOTE
The CEC/IMC Manager software is pre-installed at the factory
(WINMOM directory) for new systems.
We recommend that upon receipt of your original diskettes you store
them in a safe place. This ensures the availability of an accurate
program should the installed program fail during operation.

LBI-39224
NOTE
It is important to use the DISKCOPY command when making
a backup and not the COPY or XCOPY commands. The
diskette contains a volume label that is required for the
installation process and COPY and XCOPY do not copy
volume labels.
2.5 MULTIPLE REMOTE CLIENTS
The CEC/IMC Manager Remote Client (W_GUI.exe) can be executed
from any PC that is running Windows NT v3.51 or better and
connected to the same LAN as the desired CEC/IMC Manager server.
A maximum of ten (10) remote clients are supported.
Single CEC/IMC Manager (No LAN)
NO command line options are necessary for the Local CEC/IMC
Manager if the default machine name was selected for the Local
CEC/IMC Manager machine (default = "MOM_NT").
Multiple CEC/IMC Managers on LAN
If ANY other machine name is used other than the default machine
name (default = "MOM_NT"), the following action must be performed.
Depending on the LAN Transport one of the following "command line
options" MUST be added to the File/Properties dialog box:
COMMAND LINE OPTIONS for Remote Client (network
connection)
W_GUI.exe <machine name> Networks without TCP/IP
W_GUI.exe <IP address> TCP/IP networks
See Figure 1 in the following chapter for an example of a CEC/IMC
Manager on a TCP/IP network, the IP address is displayed in the
CEC/IMC Manager main window title bar. Figure 3 is an example of a
CEC/IMC Manager set up as a single (Local) CEC/IMC Manager.
2.6 UPGRADE CEC/IMC MANAGER
NOTE
Ensure that the requirements of MULTIPLE REMOTE
CLIENTS (Step 2.5 above) are fulfilled before proceeding.

1. VERIFY that the MIGRATE.BAT utility has been executed to
save the original (DOS) CEC/IMC Manager configuration.
2. Insert the "Install" CEC/IMC Manager V5.0 for Windows NT
diskette and execute SETUP.EXE. This setup utility will:
– Copy all necessary Executables and DLLs
– Install the CEC/IMC Manager server as a service
– Install the CEC/IMC Manager GUI
– Setup Program Groups and CEC/IMC Manager Icons
– Execute the necessary registry edits
3. (OPTIONAL) Insert the "Install" SNMP Agent Diskette and
execute SETUP.EXE.
4. Insert the "Migrate Utility" diskette and execute
MIGRATE.BAT to transfer the previous (DOS) CEC/IMC
Manager configuration to the just installed (Windows NT)
CEC/IMC Manager. This should be the second time
MIGRATE.BAT was run since the original (DOS) CEC/IMC
Manager configuration was saved using this utility on the
(DOS) CEC/IMC Manager machine. In a DOS Window:
From the C:\WINMOM prompt type a:\migrate TO.
5. Reboot the CEC/IMC Manager PC.
6. Double-click on the CEC/IMC Manager icon (in the
WINMOM program group) to execute the CEC/IMC Manager
GUI.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Expect to see "NOVRAM MISMATCH" Popup windows.
These occur because the DOS MOMPC did not save Bus/Slots
to disk. Although the Migration utility pre served much of the
configuration, the bus/slots at the CEC/IMC Manager will be
zero and the MOM Controller will hold the valid Bus/Slots
configuration. By following steps 7-13 the entire slot databa se
should be stored to the CEC/IMC Manager V5.0 hard disk.
