IADs

The NE's IAD objects define each of the BLES Integrated Access Devices connected to the NE. Because there may be a large number of these objects, the EMS System Explorer groups them all under a single IADs object. This grouping allows you to hide the individual IAD objects in the Tree View panel so that you can concentrate on other objects in the tree.

The IADs object does not have any modifiable fields or pushbuttons, and you cannot configure or manage it. It exists simply as a way of grouping the individual IAD objects and showing their overall status.

The IADs object is a child of the IAD Configuration object.

Object-Specific Actions
Import To import configuration information from a previously exported text file for an IAD object that is a child of this IADs object, click on the 'Import' pushbutton. See MetaSwitch Class 5 Softswitch Operations Manual: Overview for more details of importing configuration information.
Export To export the configuration of all IADs to a text file, click on the 'Export' pushbutton. See MetaSwitch Class 5 Softswitch Operations Manual: Overview for more details of exporting configuration information.

To view details of individual IADs, click on the symbol next to the IADs object.

Because there will typically be large numbers of IADs, the EMS System Explorer displays them in groups, in alphabetical order of the Description field.

To hide individual IADs, click on the symbol next to the IADs object.

To add a new IAD, first select the IADs object. (You cannot add an IAD to a specific alphabetic group by selecting that group.) Click on Add Sub-component and choose IAD.
