Comtech EF Data MIDAS Version 4.X NMS Configuration - Manual (Page 118)

MIDAS 4.X NMS Configuration, Rev. 6
4–2 Maintenance Menu
The purpose of this option is to allow simple, text-based communication be-
tween the remote node and the NMS operator, and to empower the NMS op-
erator with remote command capability. Any commands or text of up to 28
characters that can be accepted from the remote node terminal through the
user port can be sent as a service message. The NMS operator can send such
commands to a remote node for configuration or call requests.
The MIDAS NMS ensures that the node exists in the database before sending
out the message or command. All responses for commands originating from
the NMS are displayed in the Event Log. Similarly, all service messages from
the remote node to the NMS are displayed in the Event Log.
To send a message or command:
Select the Node to receive the message.
Select the Channel.
Select a standard message from the list, or type in the Message field.
Click [Send].
Messages and any responses are displayed in the Results field.
Click [OK] when finished.
