Chapter 2
Modeling the FDM
What is in this Chapter
This chapter describes the procedures for modeling the FDM Ethernet to
FDDI bridging module in SPECTRUM.
SPECTRUM requires that certain modeling conventions be followed in order
for it to correctly monitor and manage physical devices or applications. If you
use AutoDiscovery to create your FDM models, it will locate the devices on
your network and create the associated models, but will not impose the proper
configuration automatically. Follow the instructions contained in this chapter
to impose the proper configuration upon models that AutoDiscovery has
already created.
If you create models of your FDM devices manually, follow the modeling
procedures explained in this chapter to create a model that is consistent with
the conventions and rules used by the AutoDiscovery program when it
constructs a network model, and impose the proper configuration upon that
model.
NOTE
In order to follow the steps in this chapter you must have a working
knowledge of icon creation, cutting, copying, pasting, and the DevTop View.
For more information on using the DevTop View, refer to SPECTRUM Views.
