The Fault and Status Events window, the Call Traffic window, and the Call Back Queue window give
run-time analyses of system functions. These windows are always available in the client area of the
main window, whether expanded or minimized.
The Manager can monitor faults and respond to them when a previously set threshold has been
reached. Using the Pager function, the Manager can notify a system administrator of problems
through a digital or text pager. It also can log system events for later analysis of system performance
by the Statistical Analyzer.
The Manager also can configure remote access servers running Multi-Tech RASExpress software,
and can display RASExpress server setup information and statistics. Thus, it no longer necessary to
run the RASExpress Remote Utilities for Windows to configure your servers.
Note: The Callback Queue window and the local Call Traffic window (the one that is always
present) are not used with CommPlete racks. You can open a Call Traffic window for a CommPlete
rack by selecting its IP site and clicking Display.
The Explorer
The Explorer is your window on the operation of your communications system. Use it to display,
organize, and configure your communications racks and devices. Explorer is organized in an
inverted tree structure. You can expand or collapse your view of the structure by double-clicking
any icon but the T1, phone line, or device icon. At the root are two views of your system: a physical
view and a logical view.
To open the Explorer, click the Explorer button on the toolbar. When you first run the Manager,
the Explorer window is open by default. (The Manager saves the current desktop when you exit.)
The Physical View
The physical view maps the physical organization of your communication devices. Devices are
organized by racks, racks by rack groups, and rack groups by IP sites. An IP site is defined by its IP
address. A rack group is an arbitrary grouping of racks at an IP site. When a rack has its own IP
address, as in a CommPlete Communications Server, there is only one rack in the rack group.
The physical view also shows the TI lines and RASExpress servers for each rack. By double-clicking
the RASExpress server icon, you can view the settings for its ISI (intelligent serial interface)
circuits. By double-clicking an ISI icon, you can see the status of each serial port served by the ISI
circuit.
