13.1 Description
The Diagnostics Management Console (DMC) provides a single portal from which you can launch
the diagnostic tools supplied with Intel
®
telecom software. The DMC also enables you to locate the
log files produced by these tools and view them with the appropriate viewer.
The DMC allows you to launch the diagnostic tools remotely through the standard remote control
methods provided with the operating system, such as SSH or Remote Desktop.
The DMC performs the following:
• Lists the available diagnostic tools for execution both locally and remotely
• Lists the diagnostic logs available both locally and remotely for viewing
• Launches the diagnostic tools, which execute within their own environment both locally and
within the constraints of the integrated remote management facilities of the operating system
or an integrated third party provider
• Launches viewers for displaying logged diagnostic data
• Maintains the association of diagnostic log files to appropriate viewers
• Presents error messages when it encounters errors during runtime
Details about using each diagnostic tool are provided in the other chapters of this document.
Procedures for using the DMC are provided in Chapter 3, “Using the Diagnostics Management
Console (DMC)”.
