2. Initial Network Configuration
2.1 Introduction – ArcLight
TM
Management Client
This chapter provides instructions for configuring a new hub site on the
ArcLight
TM
network for the first time. Prior to performing this initial hub
setup make sure that all hardware and cabling has been installed as
described in the ArcLight Installation and Maintenance Manual. The
new hub network is created from a XML file provided by ViaSat. This
file should be customized to fit the network settings of the hub being
deployed.
The following Hub devices must be installed in the ArcLight Blade
System and be running:
•
Non-Real-Time Network Management System (NMS),
•
Real-Time Network Management System (Rt-NMS),
•
Network Attached Storage (NAS) – a customer installed
option,
•
Multi-Channel Demodulator (MCD II).
Click on the ArcLight Client icon on the desktop (Figure 2-1) and the
the ArcLight Management Client will open. Because ArcLight network
operations are centrally managed, and there are already multiple
ArcLight hub installations in the field, the ArcLight Management Client
is already running and available.
Figure 2-1. ArcLight Client Desktop Icon
When the ArcLight Management Client screen displays, right click on
the map area and select “Add a Hub” from the menu that appears. Then
type in the IP address of the server. This connects the client to the
server and adds it to the map (as an icon) and to the list in the left-
hand tree view. After the user logs into a session, clicking on the hub
icon brings up the Manage Hub menu shown in Figure 2-2. Select from
the “manage…” actions list and various popup screens will appear.
Additional screens are accessed by clicking on a tab or continuation
button, such as Next… , on the previous higher-level screen in the tree.
The network configuration (Network Configuration tab dialog and hub
components) are pre-populated based on the contents of the XML file
that the “NMS Server” reads in upon startup (this assumes startup with
an empty database).
