CC MIS
Release 5.2
Overview of a Network
The illustration below depicts an application of the Networked
CC MIS feature. There are four nodes each running separate
CC MIS systems with one or more partitions defined. There are four
supervisors, three of which (A, B, and D) have a direct connection
(bold lines indicate direct connection) to a Network Access Partition
(NAP) and one (C) that connects only to a local partition.
Figure 8.1 Network Overview
Note: Bold lines indicate direct connections. Other lines indicate NAP’s ability to view par-
titions defined in the Virtual Network for the NAP.
Views in the Network
Based on the configuration above, each supervisor would have access
to view the following partitions:
Supervisor A - Through NAP 1A can view Partition 1A, Partition 1C,
Partition 2A, and Partition 4B.
Supervisor B - Through NAP 1B can view Partition 1A, Partition 1B,
and Partition 1C.
Supervisor C - Is a local supervisor and can only view Partition 2B.
Supervisor D - Through NAP 3 can view Partition 1B, Partition 4A,
and Partition 4C.

To access network MIS data, a supervisor must
establish a session with a NAP.

Key Terms
Network Access Partition (NAP)
-
A partition that provides access
to other partitions in the net-
work. Note: NAPs can only exist
on a Network Node.
Local Partition -
A partition that provides access
to local data only.
Network -
A collection of nodes. The nodes
may be the actual VMEs or par-
titions depending on the type of
network (physical or virtual).
Virtual Network -
A network comprised of local
partitions that can be accessed
by the NAP (defined in the Vir-
tual Network screen).
Physical Network -
A network of CC MIS
systems. The IP addresses of the
host systems are specified in the
Physical Network screen.
Network Node -
A physical node that has Net-
worked CC MIS capabilities.
Physical Node -
A physical CC MIS system.
Virtual Node -
A partition in a CC MIS Virtual
Network. This is a local parti-
tion.
System (Node) -
The CC MIS host platform
(computer).
