3. EQUIPMENT STATUS
Once the software is started, it searches for the status of any ICB previously added to the NMS equipment data-
base. The information is displayed on the Equipment Status screen as shown in Figure 2.
If no ICBs have been added yet, nothing will be displayed in the Equipment Status screen. Go to Equipment Man-
agement, page 8, to add ICBs to the system.
On the left-hand side of the NMS main screen, the equipment added to the NMS is displayed with a status icon
next to it. These icons are shown and described in Figure 2 and Table 1. The screen will display all ICBs de-
scribed in the equipment database.
On the right-hand side of the NMS main screen, the system displays a list of ICB equipment which is communi-
cating properly with the software.
If no activity occurs on the system you will be automatically logged out, and will need to log back in to continue.
