The Discovery process is the most important step in working with the NMS. This chapter describes how to
add containers before discovering your network, how to schedule rediscovery processes, and how to add a
device manually to the system.
To open the Discovery window, click on Tools > Discovery Administration at the top of the screen.

Defining Containers
Containers are unique identification details about the Geographical Areas, Network Nodes, and Chassis in
your network. You may pre-define and create a master list of containers before initial discovery of your net-
work, or you may define containers while configuring multiple cards.
Pre-Defining Containers Before Initial Discovery
Before starting discovery, you may create a master list of pre-defined details for the Geographical Areas, Nodes,
and Chassis in your network. When you configure multiple cards later, you can refer to your master list of con-
tainers. To reach the Container Definition window, click on SetUp(F) > 6300 Container Definition at the
top of the screen.
