GET ALL DATA & CONNECTION CHECK

Get All Data is used to manually obtain all current status information from the target network element.

When NE icon appears in grey color use this function to get the NE’s status by performing the Get All Data function, the PNMSj will request the target NE to send all current status information to the server so that both will be synchronized.

Get All Data

Connection Check function is used to manually check the connection status of the target network element with the PNMSj. By using this function, the PNMSj will execute a force polling of the target NE instead of waiting for the automatic polling done by PNMSj. Auto polling may sometimes takes time to detect the connection status of the NEs specially in a huge network.

Connection Check

60

RUN DIAGNOSTICS

Run Diagnostics is used to troubleshoot the cause of failure of connection of the NE with the PNMSj.

Run Diagnostics

Displays the information of the target NE based on the information stored on PNMSj and not on the acquired info from the equipment

Indicate here the number of the packet (1 to 5) that must be sent during SNMP diagnostics. Also set the timeout settings to terminate the test if there is no response. Timeout setting is from 10 to 300 seconds.

This portion shows the result of the diagnostics.

Start Time: Shows the time the test was startedResponse Result: Shows if the target NE responded to the test or notResponse Time (Min/Max): Shows the response speed of the NE to the diagnostic testEquipment Type: Shows the actual equipment type retrieved from the target NE. If this is not matched with the equipment type registered on the PNMSj, the NE will not be connected.

PNMSj (State): Shows if the PNMSj is connected or not to the target NE.PNMSj (IP address): Shows the IP address of the PNMSj server registered in the NE. If this is different from the actual IP address of the PNMSj server, then the target NE cannot be monitored.

Management properties allows the NE to be polled (Managed ) or Not polled (Un Managed) the selected NE. This allows the NEs already registered in the PNMS but not yet installed or available in the network, not to be polled thereby minimizing undesirable polls from the PNMS. It is advisable to set NEs that are currently being serviced and therefore offline to unmanaged.
