| 8 | The 'Connect' application on OpenDaylight provides up-to-date |
| 9 | connectivity information about the wireless devices in the network. It |
| Aijana Schumann | 06fb529 | 2020-02-11 15:44:17 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 10 | automatically displays new Network Elements and their connection status. |
| 11 | Usually, the Network Elements mount themselves. If necessary, they can |
| 12 | be mounted manually by right-clicking on the element. For better |
| 13 | understanding of alarms and status, a connection status log lists all |
| 14 | the connection status changes of OpenDaylight mount points. |

| Aijana Schumann | 06fb529 | 2020-02-11 15:44:17 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 24 | Network Elements are physical network functions (PNFs). A table view |
| 25 | shows all configured and connected NetConf Servers of the SDN-R cluster. |
| 26 | This view also allows to manually configure/mount a device via the '+' |
| 27 | button. The SDN controller will start connecting to the NetConf server. |

| Aijana Schumann | 06fb529 | 2020-02-11 15:44:17 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 29 | Network Elements can be marked as 'required'. If an element is required, |
| 30 | it will stay available even if disconnected. If an element is not |
| 31 | required, it will be deleted once disconnected. |

| Aijana Schumann | 06fb529 | 2020-02-11 15:44:17 +0100 | [diff] [blame] | 33 | By right-clicking on an element, an action menu opens. The menu allows |
| 34 | to mount, unmount, view the details, edit and remove the element. |
| 35 | Additionally, it links to several applications like |
| 36 | `Fault <../pnfFault/README.md>`__ and |
| 37 | `Configure <../pnfConfig/README.md>`__, which will be filtered to |
| 38 | display information relevant to the selected element. |
