FS6300 NMS Getting Started Guide 2 • Discovering Your Network
Introduction
The first task that you should perform with the FS6300 NMS is discovering your network. This chapter
describes how to start the Discovery process and how to configure subnet properties.
Starting the Discovery Process
Before starting the Discovery process, at least one node must be deployed, powered up, and connected to the
network. To start Discovery:
1. From the Tools menu at the top of the screen, select Discovery Administration.
The Discovery Window displays.
Figure 2. Tools > Discovery Administration
2. Click on Discover Patton Devices in the tree on the left side of the screen.
3. A window will display with the message, “AutoDiscovery currently DISABLED”. Click OK.
4. Click on the Auto-Discovery checkbox.
Figure 3. Discovery Window
Introduction 22
FS6300 NMS Getting Started Guide 2 • Discovering Your Network
5. Click on the Network Discovery tab at the top of the Discovery Administration window.
Figure 4. Network Discovery tab
6. Enter the IP Address of the Subnet to be discovered by the FS6300 NMS. Click Add.
7. Click Apply to begin the Discovery process.
8. Returning to the main window, click on Networks (under Network Database) in the menu tree to see if the
IP subnet has already been entered into the Networks table for discovery.
Note The discovery process may take some time, depending on how many nodes
there are to discover on your network. During the Discovery process, a blue
icon with an actively spinning wheel will be in the upper right-hand corner
of the main window.
It is very important that you do not attempt to configure any
parameter during the Discovery process. Attempting to do so
IMPORTANT
could corrupt the data being collected during Discovery
.
When the NMS has collected enough information to identify the node, the node will be listed in the Nodes
table (under Network Database). As more information is collected through the Discovery process, entries will
appear in the FS6300 Geographical Areas section (under Network Maps).
Starting the Discovery Process 23
FS6300 NMS Getting Started Guide 2 • Discovering Your Network
When the Discovery process is complete, the spinning wheel icon is replaced with a blue box containing a
white checkmark. Once Discovery is complete, a new subnet can be entered into the Network Discovery window (Tools > Discovery Administration).
Viewing Node Information After Discovery
If the discovered nodes weren’t individually configured prior to starting the Discovery process, they may be
missing information such as Node ID, Node POP, Network Area, Chassis Type, Geographical Area, and Chassis ID. For the nodes that are missing information, the FS6300 NMS will assign values for Geographical Area,
Node, and Chassis ID.
Clicking on a Chassis in the menu tree on the left side of the screen will display all of the discovered cards for
that Chassis in the main window. Clicking on the “+” box in the menu tree expands to show all of the slots for
that chassis. The main window also displays all of the cards for that chassis, including a quick look of which
slot each card is in and if there are currently any alarms for that slot. Hover the mouse over the card in the main
window to view a card’s IP address.
The next step after Discovery is to configure the Alarm Trap IP Address so that the NMS can receive and show
alarm indications for cards in the network. See Chapter 3, “Configuring Alarms and Clocking” on page 28 for
more information. For more information about viewing and configuring details for an individual device, see
Chapter 4, “Configuring and Managing Devices” on page 37.
Configuring Multiple Cards
If you have separate subnets that are supposed to be in the same Geographical Area but in a specifically named
Node and Chassis, you will want to update the subnet information so that is displayed as it actually is located
in the network.
Updating the Configuration
To configure multiple cards:
1. Select Tools from the menu at the top of the screen, then Multiple Card Configuration.
The Multiple Card Configuration window appears.
Figure 5. Tools > Multiple Card Configuration
Viewing Node Information After Discovery 24
FS6300 NMS Getting Started Guide 2 • Discovering Your Network
2. Click on Card Parameters in the menu tree on the left side of the screen.
Figure 6. Multiple Card Configuration > Card Parameters
3. Select the subnet you would like to update from the Network IP drop-down menu. The list on the right
side of the screen shows the IP addresses of all the devices discovered on that specific subnet.
4. Enter the information you would like to update on the subnet for the following fields:
– Geographical Area ID (Integer that identies the geographical area)
– Geographical Area Name (Descriptive name of the geographical area)
– Network Node ID (Integer used to identify the node on the network)
– Network Node Name (Descriptive name of the node)
– Chassis ID (Integer used to identify the chassis on the network)
– Chassis Name (Descriptive label for the chassis)
– System Manager (Name of the person managing this subnet on the network)
– System Location (Description of where the system is located)
– Chassis Type (Choose a chassis type from the drop-down menu)
5. Click Update to save the information for all of the cards on that subnet.
Configuring Multiple Cards 25
FS6300 NMS Getting Started Guide 2 • Discovering Your Network
Note After clicking Update, it is very important to save this information in the
cards’ non-volatile memory so that the values will not be lost in case of a
power failure or card reboot.
Saving the Configuration
To save the information to non-volatile memory:
1. Click on Record Current Configuration in the menu tree on the left side of the screen. This will save all
current configurations in non-volatile memory for the devices listed in the panel on the right side of the
screen.
Figure 7. Multiple Card Configuration > Record Current Configuration
Forcing Discovery for Selected Cards
Though the cards have the updated information saved, the NMS will not display the changes until the cards
have been re-discovered. To re-discover specific cards and not the entire subnet, see “Re-Discovering Cards” on
page 27.

FS6300 NMS Getting Started Guide 3 • Configuring Alarms and Clocking
Introduction
Before you can receive alarm indications, you must first configure the alarms and clocking for the NMS. When
you discover your network for the first time, there will be alarms because the synchronization clocking has not
been fully configured yet.
Configuring the Alarm Trap Manager
In order to configure alarms, you need to configure the IP address of the NMS server which traps the alarm
reports from each of the cards in the network. By default, the Alarm Trap IP address is 0.0.0.0, so no alarms are
detected by the NMS.
You can configure the Alarm Trap Manager in two different ways, by right-clicking on a network node in the
Geographical Areas section, or by right-clicking on a card in the Chassis section.
Configuring Alarms through the Network Node
To configure the IP address for the Alarm Trap field for each card:
1. From the menu tree on the left side of the screen, select the Geographical Area for the node that you want
to configure.
2. In the main window, right-click on the Network Node, then select Alarm Trap Manager.
The Configure Alarm Trap Manager window dispalys. You may configure the Alarm Trap Manager for
any particular card in the chassis’ subnet or you can configure all of the cards in the subnet at once.
Figure 9. Alarm Trap Manager
3. Select the card that you would like to configure from the Select Card drop-down menu. If you would like
to configure all of the cards at the same time, select the Configure All Cards checkbox at the bottom of the
screen.

The following are symbols that appear on a card or node icon when the NMS receives an alarm:
• Critical: Red circle with a white “X”
• Major: Yellow circle with two black exclamation points
• Minor: Light yellow circle with a single black exclamation point
• No Alarm/Informational: Green circle with black checkmark
Alarms are propagated up to the next level throughout the Network Maps section in the menu tree.The Chas-
sis icon indicates an alarm alert if one or more of the cards have an alarm. On the Geographical Aera level, a
network node will also display alarm alerts if a card in a chassis has an alarm.
