Adding devices from the device library PPM

 

 

The following pre-configured devices will be available in the device library PPM. This PPM can be installed on the Simulation Toolkit 6 version only.

To download and apply the PPM, please refer the steps given below:

1. Download the device library ppm file.

 

2. Invoke the UpdateManager.bat/sh file in the <SimulatorHome>/bin directory or click the menu Options --> Update Manager or click the Update Manager icon from the Launcher tool bar.

 

3. Click Browse button and select the Service Pack file (.ppm) to be installed. When the Service Pack is selected, the Update Manager enables the Install and Readme buttons.

 

4. Install the Service Pack by clicking the "Install" button. This installs the devices in the Device Tree of Network Designer main GUI. The device configuration files and mysql data will be updated in <SimulatorHome>/devices/db directory and  <SimulatorHome>/mysql/data/devicedb directory.

 

Note:

 

1. While applying the PPM, if a device with the same name is already present in the device tree,  it will be overwritten.

2. The PPM can be uninstalled using the "uninstall" option in the update manager. In this case, all the devices that were added through the PPM, will be deleted and removed from the device tree.
