Connect Address (Nodes only)
Connect IP address to pass to the Telnet or SSH command.
A new Telnet or SSH IP address must use the x.x.x.x format, where x is between 0 and 255, and must contain only numbers and periods, but no letters or special characters. If you enter a Telnet or SSH IP address that contains any letters or special characters, the MWTM beeps and retains the current IP address.
Connection Protocol
Connection protocol to use. You cannot modify this field.
Connect Port (Nodes only)
Port to be used with the protocol specified in the Connector Protocol field. The default values are:

Icon Name
Drop-down menu of graphic icons to assign to this object in topology maps. The MWTM automatically assigns an appropriate icon to each discovered node and to Unknown nodes; but, you can use this field to assign a different icon (for example, if you know that a given Unknown node is a mobile switching center).
Note
When the MWTM discovers a single-instance node, it assigns the icon that corresponds to the node. When the MWTM discovers a multi-instance node, it assigns a separate icon for each unique instance.
Icon names include the following:

Editing Properties for a RAN-O Backhaul
To edit the properties of a backhaul or virtual backhaul interface, right-click the backhaul object in the navigation tree or right pane, and choose Edit > Properties in the right-click menu.
The MWTM displays the Edit RAN Backhaul Properties dialog box, which contains:
Name
Name of the backhaul.
You can use this field to specify a new, more meaningful name for the backhaul.
Remember that:

If you enter a name that is longer than 30 characters, or if you enter any other special characters, the MWTM beeps and retains the current name.

When you click Save, all MWTM windows are updated automatically to reflect the new name.
Threshold Information
Displays slider bars for controlling the Acceptable, Warning, and Overloaded threshold settings. Left-click the slider and drag it to the desired setting for each threshold. See Threshold Information (RAN-O Only), page 8-35, for descriptions of these thresholds.
Bandwidth Information
Displays:
•
•
The user bandwidth is the value that you (the user) specify for the backhaul. Send and receive values will differ if the interface is asymmetrical.
The backhaul appears in the backhaul real-time chart as a percentage of the User Bandwidth. The preset value for the User Bandwidth is the same as the System Bandwidth.
When you change the User Bandwidth, you are changing the scale of the Y axis of the backhaul real-time chart in the Performance tab (see Displaying Backhaul Performance Statistics, page 11-36). The X and Y values of the data do not change. The threshold ranges resize because they are percentages of User Bandwidth.
The User Bandwidth represents 100%. Data points that are higher than the User Bandwidth will exceed 100%. The Y axis dynamically increases to display all data points. (See Why does my backhaul graph show greater than 100% for transmit traffic?, page C-24).

•
The system bandwidth is the value that the system specifies for the backhaul. Send and receive values will differ if the interface is asymmetrical. You cannot edit this field.
Save
Saves changes that you make to the object information, updates all MWTM windows to reflect your changes, and exits the dialog box.
Restore
Restores changes that you make to the Name, and sets the Threshold Information, and Bandwidth Information fields to the system defaults. The dialog box is left open.

Deleting Objects
After discovery, the objects in your network are known to the MWTM and added to the MWTM database. Physically deleting objects from your network is not the same as deleting them from the MWTM database. These sections describe the differences between deleting objects from your network, the MWTM database, and the MWTM discovery database, and the procedures for doing so:
•
•
Deleting an Object from Your Network
If you physically delete a known object from your network (for example, by powering down a node), it remains in the MWTM database, the MWTM labels it Unknown, and the system administrator is responsible for deleting it from the MWTM database, if you choose to do so.
Note
Deleting an Object from the MWTM Database
Typically, you delete an object from the MWTM database for one of these reasons:
•
•
You are aware of the reason for the state, and you no longer want to see the object in the MWTM displays. For example, the object might be a test lab device, or it could be associated with an object that was removed from the network.
Note
•
If you have physically deleted a known object from your network, and you then delete it from the MWTM, it is no longer in the MWTM database, it does not appear in MWTM windows, and it is not discovered when you run discovery.
If you have not physically deleted a known object from your network, and you delete it from the MWTM, any associated objects are also automatically deleted from the MWTM database (if applicable). However, at the next poll the MWTM finds the object (and any associated objects) and adds it back to the MWTM database, setting the status appropriately. If this happens, do not delete the object again. Instead, set it to Ignored. See Ignoring and Unignoring Objects, for more information.
To delete an object from the MWTM database, use one of these procedures:
Note
•
•
The MWTM asks you to confirm the deletion. Click:
•
•
You can also enter the mwtm delete commands from the command line interface to delete one or more objects from the MWTM database. See mwtm delete, page B-25, for more information on the use of this command.
Deleting a Node from the MWTM Discovery Dialog
If you want to completely eliminate a given node from the MWTM database, you can delete it from the MWTM Discovery dialog box, ensuring that the MWTM never even discovers it.
Note
To delete a node from the MWTM Discovery dialog box:
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
The MWTM deletes the nodes from the MWTM database, without asking for confirmation. The MWTM will no longer discover the nodes.
Unmanaging and Managing Nodes or ITP Signaling Points
You use the MWTM to change a node or any associated signaling point to the Unmanaged state. You can also remove the Unmanaged state from these objects.
In some situations, you might not want to a node or signaling point to appear in MWTM windows. However, you might be unable to delete the object from the MWTM database. For example, if:
•
•
In these situations, you can label the object as Unmanaged. When you set a node or signaling point to the Unmanaged state, the MWTM removes the object from the poll list.
Note
Users with authentication level System Administrator (level 5) can Manage nodes or ITP signaling points.
Note
To label a node or signaling point Unmanaged:
Step 1
Note
Step 2
Note
You can also remove the Unmanaged status from a node or signaling point, when you are ready to return them to the MWTM poll list. To remove the Unmanaged status from an object:

Note
Excluding Nodes or ITP Signaling Points from a View
To exclude a node or signaling point from the current view, right-click the node or signaling point in a window, then select Exclude from View in the right-click menu. The MWTM excludes the node or signaling point from the current view. See Creating a New View, page 6-7, for more information about excluding objects from views.
Ignoring and Unignoring Objects
You can instruct the MWTM to ignore an object when it aggregates and displays network data. Setting objects to Ignored prevents known problems from affecting MWTM displays for associated network objects. In effect, you are preventing a known problem from distracting you from other, more urgent network problems.
Example:
You can set a node to Ignored before shutting down the node for maintenance.
Note
Also, if you set an object to Ignored, make a note of the change, and remember to reset the object when the problem is corrected or the maintenance is complete.•
Right-click the object, then select Ignore from the menu
or
In the object window in the right pane, check the Ignored check box.
