AlliedView NMS Administration Guide
3. File Administration
Many administrative tasks for the AlliedView NMS are done by adding, changing, and deleting files on the server. However,
directly accessing these files should not be attempted, since a loss of AlliedView NMS functionality could result.
The NMS provides GUI-based functions that make updating the AlliedView NMS files easy and less error-prone. Moreover,
the server does not have to be restarted for the changes to take effect. However, a few tasks do involve restarting the
server. These tasks are included and the point at which a restart is required is highlighted.
For AT and iMAP devices, you are able to change the default prompt to a custom string on the device. For AT devices, the
default “>” at the end of the prompt is required for the NMS to discover these devices.
In this document <NMS_HOME> refers to the directory where the NMS is installed. The default in the installation wizard is:
• Windows Server 2003/2008, XP, 7 (32-bit OS) - c:\Program Files\Allied Telesis\AlliedView NMS
• Windows Server 2003/2008, XP, 7 (64-bit OS) - c:\Program Files (x86)\Allied Telesis\AlliedView NMS
• Solaris - /opt/AlliedTelesis/AlliedViewNMS
Directory names inside configuration files use the Internet standard of forward slashes (/) on both Windows and Solaris
platforms.
Table 3-1 lists the tasks that are fully supported. Accessing a file on the server and changing a value without Allied Telesis
Support could result in a loss of AlliedView NMS functionality.
