Page 68: Introduction
FS6300 NMS Administrator’s Reference Guide 4 • Configuring Maps Introduction To route traffic from one device to another device in the NMS, you must define DS0 maps (also called an internal connection or cross-connection). An internal cross-connection carries traffic between the two external devices via a card in the system.
Page 69: Auto-Screening Ds0 Maps
FS6300 NMS Administrator’s Reference Guide 4 • Configuring Maps Auto-Screening DS0 Maps The FS6300’s AutoScreening feature can automatically detect maps that are discovered from an existing net- work setup that has cards running any firmware version. The Auto-Screening function also internally segre- gates maps into same-card and valid inter-card DS0 maps.
Page 70 FS6300 NMS Administrator’s Reference Guide 4 • Configuring Maps – If auto-discovery is in-progress, the screening procedure is stalled until discovery of at least one subnet is completed. You cannot select a screening option at this time. – When one subnet is discovered, you may proceed with screening of that subnet or wait until discovery is completed for other subnets.
Page 71 FS6300 NMS Administrator’s Reference Guide 4 • Configuring Maps 5. Click Submit. The identified maps are assigned an FS6300 System ID, which is set in the database and also configured on the cards. The various stages of processing are displayed in the user interface in a mes- sage board and also as progress bars.
