Accessing The Mrt Utility; Selecting The Source Or Destination For A Function - Paradyne COMSPHERE 6800 Series Multiplexer Management And Configuration Manual

Accessing the MRT Utility

To access the MRT Utility, perform the following steps:
1. Select Utilities from the NMS Tasks Menu.
2. From the Utilities menu, select Multiplexer-Utilities.
3. Select Manage Routing Tables.

Selecting the Source or Destination for a Function

A source indicates from where routing table or other information displayed on the screen is
obtained. A destination indicates where the routing table is sent by the function. The two choices,
Network and File, can be either source or destination. An existing file can be either source or
destination. A new file can only be the destination for a function.
Selecting the Network as the Source or Destination for a Function
When you select the network as the source or destination for an MRT function, that function will
obtain or send routing tables from or to the nodes in the network. If the function is Generate, you
must always specify the source as Network.
To select the network as the source for a function, perform the following steps:
1. Click on Select Source/Dest. from the Table pull-down menu.
2. Click on Network.
Selecting an Existing File as the Source or Destination for a Function
Routing tables can be stored in disk files to backup the routing tables within the nodes in the
network. Also, you can save a partially edited routing table and return to complete editing it at a
later time.
To select an existing routing table file as the source for a function, perform the following steps:
1. Click on Select Source/Dest. from the Table pull-down menu.
2. Click on Routing Table File.
