Organizing Your Modems
The primary purpose of the Explorer is to organize your modems so that they are easier to manage.
The physical view shows the physical organization of your modems, whereas the logical view shows
the logical organization of your modems. The basic unit of organization in each window is the
group.
To organize your groups, you can drag objects to and from them. In the logical view, you can drag
both racks and modems (when you drag a rack, you are really dragging the modems that are in the
rack). In the physical view you can drag only racks (modems always appear under the rack in
which they are physically installed), and then only for local sites. For remote sites in the physical
view, groups are predefined.
Rack Groups
Rack groups show the physical organization of your racks and modems. Organizing your racks into
groups allows you to organize them by physical location. For example, you might create the following
rack groups: Sales Wiring Closet, Purchasing Wiring Closet, and Administration Wiring Closet to
indicate where the racks are located.
Note: CommPlete Communications Server rack groups are predefined and cannot be changed,
renamed, or moved.
Modem Groups
Modem groups allow you to organize your modems functionally or by any other criteria you
choose. An advantage of functional organization is that it allows modem attributes to be set by
group.
Click a modem group that you have created and then click Edit. In the Edit Modem Group dialog
box are options that can be set for the modems in the group, such as when the modems get
configured and whether modem events are saved to the event file. You can also use modem groups
to determine which modems users can call into and get called back from.
