Note
The discovery process may take some time, depending on how many nodes
there are to discover on your network. During the Discovery process, a blue
icon with an actively spinning wheel will be in the upper right-hand corner
of the main window.
When the NMS has collected enough information to identify the node, the node will be listed in the Nodes
table (under Network Database). As more information is collected through the Discovery process, entries will
appear in the
FS6300 Geographical Areas
section (under
Network Maps
).
It is very important that you do not attempt to configure any
parameter during the Discovery process. Attempting to do so
could corrupt the data being collected during Discovery
.
