MDS NETview MS

™

Quick Start

MDS NETview software provides a central console from which an MDS radio network and asso-

ciated IP-connected devices can be viewed in a hierarchal map perspective. NETview monitors

the network for fault and performance information, and allows various maintenance tasks to be

performed on MDS radios. Because NETview provides a client/server interface, multiple users

can connect to the application simultaneously to perform network management.

Below are the basic steps for installing NETview and preparing it for usewith your network.

Online help is also provided with the program. To access the online help file, simply select

Help

from the top menu bar.

1. Check computer and radio equipment for compatibility with NETview.

• The MDS NETview program is intended to operate on a Windows 2000, NT 4.0 or Windows XP

platform. The entire NETview package can run on a single PC or multiple PCs using the client/

server interface.

• The NETview server and NETview client both require the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to

operate. (The JRE is provided on the NETview CD.)

• The program is designed primarily to service MDS IP-capable radios, such as the MDS iNET,

entraNET and MDS LEDR Series. However, it is not limited to MDS products; any IP-based node

may be monitored.

2. Install the software in the following order: 1) JRE, 2) the three servers, and 3) the two clients.

•A single CD is supplied that includes all necessary program ﬁles. (Prerequisite: JRE 1.3 and a

TFTP Server must already be installed for executing the binaries and downloading/uploading con-

ﬁguration ﬁles to/from a device.)

•A CD browser guides the user through the installation process. Insert the disk and follow the on-

screen prompts and dialog boxes to install the program elements in the desired directories. When

installation is complete, the MDS NETview server and client programs appear on the

Start

menu.

3. Launch the program and create a system map.

• First time users will be prompted to create a system map following login. A network map is a graph-

ical representation of the associated IP-connected devices in a hierarchal map perspective. Select

a name for the map and ensure that you are in edit mode by verifying that

Lock Map

is displayed in

the

File

menu.

•To add a Network element, simply click on an icon at the left side of the screen, and drag it over to

the map area.

•You will be prompted for an IP address and SNMP community string password (optional) for the

new element. After a connection to the new element is tested (automatically) , it is placed onto the

map area. (If the connection fails, a dialog box allows you to delete it or keep it despite the connec-

tion failure.) Network elements can be “wired” together on the map to illustrate their position within

the network. For MDS radios, enter “public” for the SNMP community string.

4. Select a system to monitor via the NETview screen.

•Device icons are highlighted with colors to indicate operating status as follows:

Clear

(no color)–No

alarms detected;

Blue

–Information;

Green

–Warning;

Yellow

–Minor alarm;

Orange

–Major alarm;

Red

–Critical alarm.

• Click a device icon to view data for that unit. If the unit has associated devices, you can view their

data also, by clicking the respective icons that will appear under the main radio.

• Many additional polling modes and viewing options are available. Consult online help for details.
