3-2 VMS User Guide
• A list of the VMS licensing options that have been purchased. Details can
be found on the Purchase Order, or a Vipersat representative can provide
detailed information on licensing options and pricing for the VMS-
managed network.
• A list of network modem equipment and the FAST features associated
with each. This information can be obtained either via Telnet from the
Main>Administration>Feature Configuration screen, or with Vload and the
use of the Parameter Editor (Features tab).
The following sections describe configuring the VMS to the network topology,
traffic type, and bandwidth requirements for the network. This information can
then be compared to the physical network configuration displayed by the VMS,
once it has completed its network analysis and displays the results, as shown in
the sample network in figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1 Sample Network Configuration
By comparing the planned network configuration with the actual network
configuration, any missing nodes or potential trouble spots can be quickly iden-
tified. The tools described in this chapter can then be used to modify and opti-
mize the network’s configuration and operation.
Note: An Out-of-Band network is displayed in the same manner as other
elements in the network.
