Caution: The Caution icon implies information that must be carried out in a certain manner to avoid
problems, procedures that may or may not be necessary as determined by the reader’s system
configuration, and so on. Although no damage occurs if the reader does not heed the caution, some steps
may need repeating.
Caution: The signal word CAUTION may be used without the safety icon to state potential damage or
injury that is not related to the product.
Warning: The Warning icon implies potential system damage if the instructions or procedures are not

Description
This chapter provides an introduction to the Network Management Client, and includes these topics:
• Introduction on page 27.
• NM Client and the Transport Network Device Manager (TNDM) on page 29
• AntiVirus Feature Description on page 30.
• Application Launcher Description on page 30.
Introduction
The Network Management (NM) Client workstations are commercial personal computers running the Microsoft
Windows® Operating System for networked computers. Authorized system managers or network administrator
personnel use the client PC workstations to start and run the software applications for configuring, viewing equipment
operational status, and monitoring network utilization and performance. The servers are industrial grade, high
performance computers geared to handle the intense, typically real-time, data processing tasks associated with
managing a single zone, or handling specific system-level tasks, in multiple zone systems.
The Hewlett-Packard PCs are currently approved for use by Motorola and are typically used for console,
configuration, and management applications.
Important: The PC manufacturer, model, and specifications vary depending on the workstation certified
for a particular system.
Equipment Weights
See the Backup and Restore Including FRU/FRE volume for detailed hardware descriptions and specifications.
Windows-Based Clients
The new NM architecture distributes most of the user application processing to the client PC workstations. This
approach yields important benefits:
• Application performance is less dependent on the number of concurrent users and open applications.
• Personnel typically responsible for managing a radio system or computer network are already familiar with, or
easily trained to use, the GUI of NM applications that conform to Windows® Operating System conventions.
• Remote operation performance over a limited bandwidth link (for example, a telephone line used for accessing the
network remotely through dial-up modems) is improved.
NM Client also performs the Transport Network Device Manager (TNDM) functionality. TNDM allows you to view
configuration of the transport system devices for your Dimetra system, and perform Router Manager tasks, which
include:
• configuration backup
• configuration batch backup
• configuration restore
• configuration deployment
• GGSN router management
• firmware deployment
• setting boot source for the device
• initial configuration setup using serial connection
• checking firmware version
Functional Description
TNDM provides configurations for the following devices and roles within your radio system. An (*) next to the
device name indicates that TNDM provides dedicated deployment support for that device:
• Core Router
• Core LAN Switch
• Exit Router
• Gateway Router
• NM Dispatch Site Router, Site Switch (*), and Terminal Server
• Zone Terminal Server (*)
• Ethernet Core Gateway Router
• Ethernet Site Router
• Backhaul Switch
• Eth-Exit Router
• Eth-Core Router
For detailed information regarding the installation and operation of the Transport Network Device Manager on the
NM Client PC, see the Transport Network Device Manager (TNDM) manual.
Application Launcher is the starting point to access the Motorola Private Radio Network Management (PRNM)
applications. Application Launcher provides a quick and easy way to access one or more management applications. It
allows not going through the process of logging on to each application separately and entering user name and
password each time.
Application Launcher provides two ways to access and launch the applications:
• Start menu
• Windows® Explorer window launched from a desktop icon
Figure below shows the Application Launcher menu from the Start menu.
The Windows® Explorer window shows all system-level applications, zones, and zone-level applications that you
have permission to access. Figure below shows an example of the Windows® Explorer window.
Note: Application Launcher does not provide access to the console prompt or to Administration menus for
any servers in the system.
Permissions
The system manager assigns permissions to each user in the system. These permissions determine which applications,
security groups, and objects you can access. Application Launcher builds the system view in the Windows® Explorer
window. It displays only the system-level applications, zones, and zone-level applications for which there is
permission to access based on current user permissions.
Storage PC
NM Client PC in the lowest octet zone in the cluster can be used as Storage PC. Storage PC can be designated for an
external (to MUIS) storage for cumulative backup files – by a proper procedure executed from Upgrade Console.
Once the storage is established (by creating a proper network share accessible from MUIS), the backup files taken on
a central backup location can be copied to this storage.

Installation
Network Management Client computers at the master site provide oversight and control of servers, routers, switches,
and other network components at the master site.
Note: The hardware for each network client is similar if not identical. Software components installed on

Mechanical Installation
Network client computers are installed by connecting all peripheral components (monitor, mouse, keyboard)
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Cable Connections
Installing the Network Client computers in the system requires physically connecting all required peripheral
components and establishing the appropriate network interface connections.
Note: For more information on the Ethernet LAN Switch, see the System LAN Switches manual.

Maintenance
This chapter provides instructions for uninstalling the Transport Network Device Manager (TNDM), Private Radio
Network Manager (PRNM), and the System Traffic Monitor (STM) suites of applications from the Network
Management (NM) client.
There are no serviceable parts in the NM Client that require maintenance or calibration. Exterior cleaning with a
clean, lint-free cloth, or soft brush is sufficient. It is also advisable to do periodic interior cleaning of the cooling fan,
power supply, and boards by using a low-suction vacuum cleaner.
Since NM databases are not located in the NM Client PC and the NM Client application does not consume much
space on the hard drive, do not be concerned about performing additional PC maintenance. Regular PC maintenance
is enough for the NM Client. The NM Client PC should solely be used for NM Client activity. If you install any extra
applications, they may cause the NM Client to malfunction.
You should keep a minimum of 5 GB free space on the hard drive at all times.
Note: For the NM Client Periodic Maintenance Inspection (PMI) information, refer to the Appendices
booklet of the Backup and Restore Incl. FRU/FRE volume.
