Discovering FrameSaver Remote Site Units
A FrameSaver remote site unit is not automatically discovered because it is not
colocated and resides outside of the local domain of the FrameSaver unit and the
NMS. To force discovery, add map or subinterface statements to the router at the
central site to ensure that management traffic destined for the remote site units is
routed to the FrameSaver unit at the central site.
Accessing the DCE Manager
You can access the DCE Manager and a subset of its functions from the
OpenView menus. The DCE Manager functions that are available from within
OpenView can be applied to a device itself, but not to an individual device
interface (port).
To use the complete features of the DCE Manager, including performing an
operation on a device interface, you must use the Device Display. The Device
Display presents a front or rear view of a device and its interfaces and offers
menus that you can use to perform all of the DCE Manager functions.
The following sections discuss how to access the DCE Manager components
within OpenView, including the Device Display.
Accessing the DCE Manager Submenus from OpenView
The DCE Manager appears as a menu item on the OpenView Configuration and
Fault menus. Selecting the DCE Manager menu item opens a cascading
submenu of DCE Manager functions.
The following example shows the DCE Manager submenu cascade that is
available from the OpenView Configuration menu.
