1

From the Controller Server, PING

the NMS Server. Verify 100% re-

sponse with average delay of

< 30 msec.

A failed PING attempt between the

Controller Server and the NMS Server

shall not occur if they are on the same

physical sub-network unless serious

NIC problems exist (hardware or

driver).

2

Attempt to PING to and from the

Controller Server from any other

device in the network and verify no

response.

If any other network device can PING

the Controller Server, verify IP Ad-

dress and Subnet Mask settings.

3

From the NMS Server, PING the

Controller Server. Verify 100%

response with average delay of

< 30 msec.

A failed PING attempt between the

Controller Server and the NMS Server

shall not occur if they are on the same

physical sub-network unless serious

NIC problems exist (hardware or

driver).

4

The network changes to prepare for the installation of MIDAS 4 comprise
routing and filtering settings. The MIDAS NMS Server and each MIDAS
Remote NMS Workstation require a high speed (>2 Mb/s), low latency con-
nection. This connection(s) shall be isolated to only allow traffic between the
NMS Server and each individual Remote NMS Workstation.
This can be accomplished several ways.

• A connection using a 10/100 BaseT hub.

• A connection using a 10/100 BaseT Layer 2 Switch or Router.
