Configuring the NMS
Before you can configure your multiplexer network, all hardware must be installed and connected,
the NMS must be loaded, and the NMS must be started up. Detailed information on configuring a
multiplexer network is provided in Chapter 2 of this manual.
Using a configuration worksheet provided with the user’s manual that came with your
ACCULINK multiplexer and a network diagram, perform the steps that apply to your
configuration to get the NMS up and running and managing your network.
