Important Safety Instructions
1. Read and follow all warning notices and instructions marked on the product or
included in the manual.
2. This product is intended to be used with a three-wire grounding type plug - a plug
which has a grounding pin. This is a safety feature. Equipment grounding is vital to
ensure safe operation. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding type plug by
modifying the plug or using an adaptor.
Prior to installation, use an outlet tester or a voltmeter to check the ac receptacle for
the presence of earth ground. If the receptacle is not properly grounded, the
installation must not continue until a qualified electrician has corrected the problem.
If a three-wire grounding type power source is not available, consult a qualified
electrician to determine another method of grounding the equipment.
3. Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable
operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, these slots and openings
must not be blocked or covered.
4. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord and do not locate the product where
persons will walk on the power cord.
Safety Instructions
5. Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers may
expose you to dangerous high voltage points or other risks. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.
6. General purpose cables are provided with this product. Special cables, which may be
required by the regulatory inspection authority for the installation site, are the
responsibility of the customer.
7. When installed in the final configuration, the product must comply with the applicable
Safety Standards and regulatory requirements of the country in which it is installed. If
necessary, consult with the appropriate regulatory agencies and inspection
authorities to ensure compliance.
8. A rare phenomenon can create a voltage potential between the earth grounds of two
or more buildings. If products installed in separate buildings are interconnected, the
voltage potential may cause a hazardous condition. Consult a qualified electrical
consultant to determine whether or not this phenomenon exists and, if necessary,
implement corrective action prior to interconnecting the products.
In addition, if the equipment is to be used with telecommunications circuits, take the
following precautions:
– Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
– Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed
for wet locations.
– Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has
been disconnected at the network interface.
– Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.
– Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm.
There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
– Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

The COMSPHEREr 6800 Series Network Management System (NMS) manages Analog Private
Line (APL) modems, switched network modems, Data Service Units (DSUs), and ACCULINK
multiplexers.
The Release 4.2 NMS provides two areas of improvement over previous releases: increased
database and workstation capacity and a new feature set. The current software release is
available on two hardware platforms: the Altos System 5000 and the Altos System 15000. The
fundamental difference between the two platforms is that both the capacity enhancements and
the new feature set are available on the Altos 15000 platform and only the new features are
available on the Altos 5000 platform.
The Altos 5000 platform is nearly identical to the hardware configuration seen in Release 3.1
and Release 4.1. Basic optional differences are the Token Ring Local Area Network (LAN)
support, third hard disk drive support for automatic database backup and restore, and support for
16 control channels with a second DCP-MUXi card.
1
The Altos 15000 platform consists of a multiprocessor and two mandatory User Interface
Processors (UIPs). This hardware configuration allows a larger number of simultaneous users,
workstations, and devices than previous releases. The configuration also supports the new feature
set.
Table 1-1 shows the configurations for the five processors. The differences among the processors
include the type of LAN which they use to communicate among host, UIP, and full-feature
workstations, and the availability of the optional feature packages. Communication with the
basic-feature workstations is done through the serial ports on the processors.

NOTES: Packages and features not marked as optional are required.
Altos 5000 UIP is used with both the Altos 5000 and Altos 15000 host. It is optional with the 5000. Two UIPs are
required with the 15000
Workstation configurations are the maximum number allowed. The NMS requires a minimum of one full-feature
workstation attached to the host.
1
The 16 Control Channel package cannot be installed on the Altos System 5000 in conjunction with either or both of the
ANALYSIS or 3270 Emulation packages.
2
The Serial Port Upgrade package must be installed on UIP #1 to support 18 basic-feature workstations when the host is
an Altos System 15000.
Figure 1-1 shows a host processor and UIP for the System 5000. Figure 1-2 shows a System
15000 host with two System 5000 UIPs.

Overview
Release 4.2 of the 6800 Series Network Management System supports two processors, the
Altos 15000 and Altos 5000. The Altos 15000 can serve only as an NMS host processor while the
Altos 5000 can serve as both host processor and User Interface Processor (UIP). Most of the
internal components required by the NMS in the Altos 5000 processor − as well as all the
software − have been installed prior to shipment, leaving very little installation to be performed
at the customer’s location.
• This chapter opens with a description of the internal components and circuit cards. It then:
• Describes the various upgrade packages that the customer can choose to install in both
processors.
• Explains how to configure the strap settings on the circuit cards that are part of each upgrade
package.
• Provides step-by-step instructions for opening the processors, locating the expansion slots,
installing the circuit cards, and closing the processors.
• Provides detailed information for converting processors from previous NMS releases to run
with Release 4.2.
• Explains how to run the EISA Configuration Utility, which matches the processor’s
resources with the requirements of the circuit cards that were just installed.
Hardware conversion information includes retrofitting Release 1, 2, and/or 3.x host processors as
full-feature workstations and converting 6386 basic-feature workstations to full-feature
workstations.
After the database information has been transferred, the original 6800 Series R1, R2, or R3.x NMS
hardware system can be disassembled and the individual components used as part of a Release 4.2
6800 Series NMS. For example, any basic-feature workstation in Release 2 6800 Series NMS can
be disconnected from the original system and reconnected to the Release 4.2 6800 Series NMS.
System printers can be similarly reused. The fault log printer used in these previous releases can be
reconnected to a Release 4.2 6800 Series NMS alert log printer port to provide alert printing
capabilities. (For instructions on hardware connection of these components refer to Chapter 4,
Connecting the Components.)
Depending on the release, some host processors can also be reused. The Release 1 and Release 2
6800 Series NMS host processors (6386/25 processors) can be converted to full-feature
workstations or basic-feature workstations and used with a Release 4.2 6800 Series NMS.
The Release 1 COMSPHERE 6830 processors (including the 3B2/600 host, the 6386/25 UIP, 6386
network monitor unit) can be returned for a customer credit applied towards the Release 4.2 6800
Series NMS.
2-2 January 1997 6800-A2-GN22-30
Any 6386-based full-feature workstation used in a Release 1 or a Release 2 6800 Series NMS
system can be loaded with Release 4.2 6800 Series NMS full-feature workstation software and can
be connected to the customer’s Release 4.2 6800 Series NMS. Additionally, any 6386-based
basic-feature workstation can be converted to a full-feature workstation with installation of an
upgrade kit.
Any PC-based basic-feature workstation used in the Release 1 6800 Series NMS can be loaded
with Release 4.2 basic-feature workstation software and can be connected to the customer’s
Release 4.2 NMS.
Altos System 5000 Host
The Altos System 5000 is based on the Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus, and
features an Intel i80486 central processing unit operating at a clock speed of 33 Mhz. The
following sections describe the hardware and circuit cards that are installed in the System 5000
when it is shipped to the customer.

Opening the System 5000 Host
To open the Altos System 5000 and install the memory and circuit cards, you will need a # 2
Phillips screwdriver and a .25I nut driver. Once you have these tools, perform the following steps:
1. Make sure the ac power cord is not connected to the System
5000 before opening the computer and attempting to perform
any field installation activity.
2. To prevent static discharges that may damage the hardware,
wear a ground strap or otherwise ground yourself to the
chassis before opening the computer and installing any circuit
cards.
1. Using the # 2 Phillips screwdriver, loosen the two screw-type fasteners (locking pins) that
secure the cover to the chassis. The fasteners are located on the rear panel near the right
side edge, as shown in Figure 2-1.
