Menu Bar
The CWI Desktop menu bar provides a list of options available on the basis of the selected object and active application. The
options include administrative, editing, and viewing tasks, starting applications, and arranging windows.
Toolbar
The CWI Desktop toolbar contains icons, referred to as tools, that provide direct access to context-sensitive functions. Clicking
a tool selects a task.
Inventory Tree
The Inventory Tree displays all components of each router that the CWI can access and is the primary interface to these
components. The Inventory Tree dynamically shows current alarms and events, connectivity status, and physical and logical tree
views. The Inventory Tree provides context-sensitive launching of applications by selecting an object, a group of objects, or an
entire router in the Inventory Tree and then choosing an available application.
CWI Status Bar
The CWI status bar contains three icons that show the status of the CWI including communication security and NE connectivity
and allows you to open the Alarm Dashboard. The left side of the status bar may contain a progress message.
Dashboard
The Dashboard provides a summary of the alarm status information for all routers in the CWI Desktop. Color coding is used
to indicate active alarm counts by severity. A resettable running count of new alarm arrivals is provided.
CWI Application Pane
The CWI Application pane is the area of the CWI Desktop that contains the active CWI applications used to manage the router.
Multiple applications can be open concurrently in the CWI Application pane.

Configuration Desktop Window
The Configuration Desktop is the main point of access to all configuration applications. (See Figure 8.) These applications allow
you to configure and manage routers within your network.
The Configuration Desktop is opened for one router chosen in the CWI Desktop. If there are multiple routers in the
CWI Desktop, you can open one Configuration Desktop for each router.
There are four ways to configure a router using the CWI:
• Telnet/SSH application from the CWI Desktop.
• Configuration Editor from the Configuration Desktop.
• Replace Configuration Editor from the Configuration Desktop.
• Graphical user interface (GUI) applications from the Configuration Desktop.
The Configuration Applications Tree uses icons for each configuration application to dynamically display the state of each
application. The icon states include the unchanged, not permitted, incompatible version, uncommitted, and disabled.
The Configuration Desktop allows you to view the configuration changes made using the configuration applications or the
Configuration Editor using the Show Uncommitted Config tool. The tool is launched by right-clicking the Configuration
Applications icon in the Configuration Applications Tree. The uncommitted configuration (also known as the target
configuration) is displayed in a window in CLI format.
