5 NMS Overview
5.1 Introduction
The ClearFill®Star Application Client presents the system management information in two
different approaches. The first approach is the visual representation of the network elements
in the form of graphical maps, which capture the topological or geographical organization of
these elements. The second approach is an easy-to-access dynamic data representation
with tables that list the aspects that are managed by ClearFill®Star NMS.
The managed aspects are:
 Fault management
 Performance management
 Provisioning
5.2 Starting the NMS
After having installed all hardware mechanically, switch on the NMS Server.
When the display shows the WindowsXP® start window, enter as the initial password:
nmsadmin.
It is strongly recommended to change the password according to
corporate security guidelines.
As the server is normally not connected to the Internet, the windows
update function is disabled. It is up to the customer, to secure the network
against potential viruses etc. RFS is not responsible for any faults arising
from a virus attack against the server.
5.2.1 IP address setup
The IP addresses of the GES can be setup statically or dynamically.
The disadvantage of static IP is that IP addresses must be setup individually.
Dynamic IP addresses are also supported by the GBit switches. The procedure to set the IP
addresses (dynamically or statically) is described in section 4.4.
