Software Description

This chapter provides a general overview of the Maintenance Manager software. See Chapter 3, “CLIP

Module Configuration” for detailed information regarding specific Maintenance Manager screens.

2.1 Features

This list describes the features of the Maintenance Manager software:

• Local Craft Interface—The Maintenance Manager software is the local craft interface for the ONS

15200 system. Use it to view and configure certain types of system information.

• Limited Read/Write—With Maintenance Manager you can change the values of a limited number

of operations settings and thresholds.

• Familiar Interface—The Maintenance Manager user interface is similar to the read-only Web-based

interface.

• Real-time—The Maintenance Manager provides a real-time view of the network. Changes to the

system are reported immediately.

2.2 User Interface

The Maintenance Manager screen (Figure 2-1) is divided into the following three sections:

• The navigation area on the left side of the screen is used to view the ONS 15252 multichannel units

(MCUs), ONS 15201 single-channel units (SCUs), modules installed in the network, event logs, and

alarm logs.

• The display area in the upper right part of the screen shows information specific to each MCU, SCU,

module, or log. To change a value, double-click an editable field. Editable fields are checkboxes and

parameters whose names are not greyed out.

• The error notification area in the lower right part of the screen displays software application-specific

problems such as a CAN bus failure, database (QDBS) connectivity time out or other major

exception faults. This window will contain major critical errors in the system connection such as no

connection to the CAN bus or the local database received a time out when connecting to a Client

Layer Interface Port (CLIP) module.
