The Cisco 6400 SCM Element Manager adds custom windows to the standard Cisco EMF system to improve management of the Cisco 6400 UAC. For example, the Cisco 6400 Chassis Management window has four tabbed sections:
Each tab displays specific information about the current state of the system or allows you to change various settings on a Cisco 6400 UAC without the need to use Cisco IOS commands. Multiple Element Managers can be installed on a single Cisco EMF server, thereby allowing multi device management from a single system.
This chapter details the Element Manager windows that appear in the Cisco 6400 Service Connection Manager (SCM). The Element Manager windows provide:
Each Element Management window consists of one or more tabs that display information or allows you to configure the Cisco 6400 UAC hardware. A number of the Element Manager windows have a similar layout in terms of management functions. For example, the first tab across a number of the Element Manager windows displays fault information that can be used for troubleshooting problems that can arise.
 |
Note The information displayed on each of the Element Manager windows in this chapter are described in greater detail in "Element Manager Windows: Detailed Description". |
Table 5-1 displays the Element Manager windows that can be launched from each node or object type. For example, to manage the Cisco 6400 chassis (from the Cisco 6400 Chassis Management window) you should select the Cisco 6400 UAC, Manage, Chassis option from a Manager, Site, Chassis, or NSP object.
