the list of outstanding visualization events from the device using a combination of
SNMP and Alcatel-Lucent proprietary OmniVista SafeGuard Manager
Visualization Channel.
The device displays in the All Devices panel and the device objects display in the
Device Hierarchy navigation tree.

1 Select the Device Configuration icon from the Page Bar or select the View > Go To >
Config Management menu item.

NOTE: Make sure that the attributes are specified correctly; otherwise,
adding a device fails producing one of the following error messages,
“Device unreachable,” or “Device is not a Alcatel-Lucent device,” or “Unable
to communicate with IP Address.”
NOTE: The device periodically ages out the visualization data; therefore,
some of the events may be lost by the time you add the device.
NOTE: The device must be reachable with appropriate community
strings for the device to be added.
