About This Chapter
The following pages introduces some preparation operations that will ensure a smooth, trouble-free launch of the T2000-LCT.
3.1 T2000-LCT Process
The server processes of the T2000-LCT and what functions the processes realize are described.
3.2 Starting or Shutting Down the T2000-LCT
The T2000-LCT uses the standard client/server architecture and single user mode. So, you are recommended to start or shut down the T2000-LCT by strictly observing the following procedure.
3.3 How to Use T2000-LCT Online Help
The online help is the main information resources of the T2000-LCT, which helps you to master the operations and know about the GUI operations at any time.
3.4 T2000-LCT Main Window
The T2000-LCT main windows and what you can do in the windows are described here.
3.5 Menu Description
The Main Menu and submenus of the T2000-LCT are described as follows.
3.6 Operation Precautions
The operation precautions for ensuring correct operations are as follows:
3.7 List of Operations That Might Affect Network Running and Monitoring
Performing the operations listed below on the T2000-LCT might affect the running or monitoring of the network. Confirm an operation prior to performing it.
3.8 Customizing Parameter Display
It is a customisable function of the T2000-LCT. You can customise the display of parameters as you like, by putting important parameters to a place easy to find and hiding those hardly used.
3.9 Copying Table Text Quickly
The T2000-LCT allows you to copy and paste table text. You can copy table text to other programs quickly.
3.10 Setting Parameters in the Table
On the T2000-LCT GUI, the object tree is arranged on the left side and parameter table is arranged on the right side. All the parameters are set in the table. The following illustrates how to perform operations in the NE Explorer.
3.11 Rules of Entering Information on User Interface
These rules specify the typing requirements for the text boxes in the T2000-LCT operation interface. These text boxes are used for typing character strings, file names, IP addresses, MAC addresses, numerals, passwords, dates, time, and so on.
3 Getting Started User Guide
3.1 T2000-LCT Process
The server processes of the T2000-LCT and what functions the processes realize are described.
Table 3-1 describes the functions of processes in the software structure of the T2000-LCT.
Table 3-1 T2000-LCT processes
Process Function
Ems Server The primary process of the T2000-LCT server. It realizes the core management functions including fault, performance, and configura-tion.
Schedulesrv Server The schedule server. Manages scheduled tasks.
Security Server The security server. Mainly implements T2000-LCT security man-agement, for example, user validity check and user operation validity check.
Syslog Agent Forwards the T2000-LCT system log to the Syslog server.
Toolkit Server Upgrade software and configuration data management of the net-work management system.
Topo Server The topo server.
Database Server Proc-ess
The T2000-LCT uses the database management software MSDE, the simplified version of MS SQL Server.
3.2 Starting or Shutting Down the T2000-LCT
The T2000-LCT uses the standard client/server architecture and single user mode. So, you are recommended to start or shut down the T2000-LCT by strictly observing the following procedure.
Context
l You are recommended to start the computer and the T2000-LCT application in the following sequence: Start the computer, start the T2000-LCT server, and then start the T2000-LCT client.
l You are recommended to shut down the T2000-LCT application and the computer in the following sequence: Exit the T2000-LCT client, stop the T2000-LCT server, and then shut down the computer.
3.2.1 Starting the Computer
To avoid equipment damages or data loss, follow the steps listed below strictly to start the computer.
3.2.2 Starting the T2000-LCT Server
After starting the computer where the T2000-LCT is installed, you must start the T2000-LCT server application for network management.
3.2.3 Viewing the T2000-LCT Process Status
When you fail to log in to the T2000-LCT or abnormally exit the T2000-LCT, you can use System Monitor to view the T2000-LCT process status.
3.2.4 Logging In to the T2000-LCT Client
To manage networks through the T2000-LCT client graphical user interface, you need to use the T2000-LCT client to log in to the T2000-LCT server.
3.2.5 Exiting a T2000-LCT Client
Before shutting down the T2000-LCT server, you must exit the T2000-LCT client.
3.2.6 Shutting Down the T2000-LCT Server
When the T2000-LCT server is managing the system normally, do not perform this operation.
In special circumstances, for example, when modifying the system time of the computer that the T2000-LCT resides or upgrading the version, you can use the System Monitor to shut down the T2000-LCT server.
3.2.7 Shutting Down the Computer
Normally, do not shut down the computer where the T2000-LCT resides. In special situations, for example, when the computer becomes faulty, shut down the computer in the correct sequence.
3.2.1 Starting the Computer
To avoid equipment damages or data loss, follow the steps listed below strictly to start the computer.
Prerequisite
l The T2000-LCT must be installed successfully.
l The power cable of the workstation or the computer, the power cable of the monitor, data line and Ethernet line must be connected correctly.
l If there is printer, modem or other peripherals, their power line and data line must be connected correctly.
Context
The T2000-LCT only supports Windows operating systems.
Procedure
1. Power on the printer, modem and other peripherals.
2. Power on the computer and the Windows is automatically started. The Login dialog box is displayed.
3. Enter the Username and the Password in the Login dialog box.
User: t2000 (by default) Password: t2000 (by default).
4. Click OK to open the Windows user interface.
