Import the GSDML file
Browse to the folder containing the GSDML file, then import it using the Toolchest feature of PME, as shown
below. Alternately, use the
Have GSDML
button shown in Figure 25, and perform the import as configuration
progresses.
Each GLM Switch Catalog Number has a unique GSDML file associated with it.
Note that you will only need to import any given GSDML file once. The file can then be used to define the
parameters associated with each GLM switch of the corresponding type added to the network.
If a newer version of a GSDML file becomes available, it will reside in the Toolchest alongside older versions.
The user has the option to change the version of the GSDML file associated with each installed GLM Switch
device.
If all GLM switches have been associated with a newer version of the GSDLM file, and the older version of the
GSDML file is no longer required, it can be deleted from the Toolchest.
