a. Select File>>Load and highlight the map that you wish to view.

Click the

Load button and the map will appear.

b. Observe the network elements shown on the map. Normally,

these icons will appear without any highlighting color just as

they appear in the icon palette used to construct maps. However,

if an alarm occurs for a particular device, the icon becomes high-

lighted with a color and a sound is played (if sound is enabled).

NETview’s color indications are listed on Page 25.

c. For more information on an alarm, simply double click a

color-highlighted icon. This allows you to navigate further into

the network to locate the device that is alarmed and determine

the cause for the alarm. Several double-clicks may be required to

reach submaps that are nested far below the top-level map.

Alarm Precedence The color of the highest-severity event always takes precedence in NET-

view. For example, if an Information, Minor Alarm and a Critical Alarm

all came in for a node, its color would be red (Critical). Likewise, if var-

ious elements in a submap were reporting Critical, Minor and Informa-

tion level events, the submap icon at the higher level map would be red.

If a later “Information” trap (blue) came in, it would not affect the dis-

play—the node/submap would still be red. The color indicates the

highest severity among all the events in that area, not the severity of the

most recent event.

“Clear” events clear the color changes for the specified severity of an

event and lower. That is, if an Information trap is pending on a node, and

a Minor-Clear event comes in for that node, it will clear the Information

event. Likewise, a Critical-Clear event clears everything.

Viewing Event Logs

Network events are logged by NETview, allowing you to review them

at any time. This may be helpful in understanding the events that led up

to a malfunction or other network difficulty. Follow these steps to view

the Event Log for a node or device:

a. Highlight the node of interest by single-clicking its icon.

b. Select

Tools>>Get Event Log from the top menu bar.

c. The Event Log Screen (Figure 20) displays a history of radio

events, including user actions, alarms, logins, and re-boots.

HINT: You may also view an Event Log by highlighting a node and

entering the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+E.
