Get All Data

Get All Data is used to manually obtain all current

status information from the target network element.
When NE icon appears in grey color use this function to
get the NEs status by performing the Get All Data
function, the PNMSj will request the target NE to send
all current status information to the server so that both
will be synchronized.

Connection Check

Connection Check function is used to manually check

the connection status of the target network element
with the PNMSj. By using this function, the PNMSj will
execute a force polling of the target NE instead of
waiting for the automatic polling done by PNMSj. Auto
polling may sometimes takes time to detect the
connection status of the NEs specially in a huge
network.

Indicate here the number of the packet (1 to 5) that must

be sent during SNMP diagnostics. Also set the timeout
settings to terminate the test if there is no response.
Timeout setting is from 10 to 300 seconds.
This portion shows the result of the diagnostics.
Start Time: Shows the time the test was started
Response Result: Shows if the target NE responded to
the test or not
Response Time (Min/Max): Shows the response speed

Equipment Type: Shows the actual equipment type
retrieved from the target NE. If this is not matched with
the equipment type registered on the PNMSj, the NE will
not be connected.
PNMSj (State): Shows if the PNMSj is connected or not
to the target NE.
PNMSj (IP address): Shows the IP address of the PNMSj
server registered in the NE. If this is different from the
