Network element configuration overview
Administrators add, configure, and manage most network elements by using the
System Management Console. For network element specific details, see the
individual network element guides. For a list of network element documents see
“Related publications” on page 17.
Add the System Manager and Database Manager (Databases in the configuration
view) manually, without the use of the System Management Console. However,
you can use the System Management Console to monitor both.
Network element configuration
You can add, configure, and manage network elements, by using the System

System Manager must be operational before administrators can connect with the
System Management Console.
