The MetaSwitch Connection object is a top-level element in the EMS structure, corresponding to the connection between the EMS software and a physical VP3000 chassis. There is one MetaSwitch Connection object for each VP3000 chassis in your installation.
You must create a MetaSwitch Connection object in order to connect to the VP3000 before you can manage it. When creating the object, you specify a name to identify the MetaSwitch VP3000, and its IP address. The EMS then enables and activates the connection automatically.
