d.
Click OK to save configuration changes to the device database, and to
begin modelling the defined MMAC-Plus chassis.
Note that the next time you initialize MMAC-Plus Remote Management,
the name of the configured chassis will appear in the Enter chassis
name drop-down list menu at the introductory screen.
The Chassis Setup window will disappear, and a new management view will
appear for the MMAC-Plus Chassis. Refer to Chapter 3,
MMAC-Plus
Management Views
, for more information on managing your MMAC-Plus
chassis.
Each module must be correctly set up in the Chassis Setup window with the correct slot
number, type, IP address, and community string.
If you do not conÞgure these parameters correctly for a module, and then exit the Chassis
Setup window, the module will not be displayed in the Chassis window. The Chassis
Setup window will reappear automatically to inform you of a conÞguration problem. Any
incorrectly described module will appear highlighted in red, and will have a
button to
its right.
Clicking on
will display one of four status messages at the bottom of the window, (as
shown in the example below):
Device is actually in slot X
indicates that the device IP has been detected in the chassis,
but the device is installed in a different slot than the one which was conÞgured.
IP address or Community Name is invalid
indicates that the device IP address given
was not found in the MMAC-Plus chassis (community names are not used at this time).
Device is not a MMACPlus module
indicates that the device that you have identiÞed
in the chassis is not an MMAC-Plus architecture device.
Wrong device type
indicates that you have selected the wrong type for the conÞgured
device from the Module Type pull-down menu.
These errors will also be reßected in the Chassis Setup window if a chassis that you had
previously modelled has been physically re-conÞgured between management sessions, so
that the modelled chassis is inaccurate.
Reset the Chassis Setup window so that the correct conÞguration of your MMAC-Plus
chassis is modelled.
