— assigning the physical hardware

Each router serves a geographical area or set of areas. Conversely, each region may be served by more than one router or server.

AIS handles the task of mapping data flows for a geographical region's subscribers to particular routers, and for the flow of data from routers to particular regions. The routers themselves are not aware of the zip code assignment.

You can manage the association between routers and zip codes, as well as start and stop routers.

Associate a router with a zip code

Zip code assignments may be made after starting AIS.

1. Select a node from the list.
2. Enter a zip code.
3. Click Add selected router to this zip code to associate the router and zip code, and to update AIS's assignment list.

Manage routers

You can start and stop routers, as well as manage zip code associations.

Note: You cannot start a router until it has been entered as an operator in the User Management interface.

Remove selected router from zip code —

removes the selected router from the Channel Manager's assignment list.

Get routers for this zip code —

lists the routers associated with the zip code

Start —

restarts the selected router to reflect the new zip code assignments

Start All —

restarts all routers in the loaded topology to reflect the new zip code assignments

Stop —

terminates service on a specific router

Stop all —

terminates service for all routers in the loaded topology

AIS must be running to start, stop, or shutdown routers.

For daily router maintenance, use the Fault Management interface to check router status and to stop processes.
