1.8 Customizing the Client GUI Effect
You can customize the GUI effect of the U2000 client as required.
1.9 Setting the Alert at Network Disconnection
After you set the disconnection alert on the U2000 client, the sound box connected to the client plays the sound if the U2000 client is disconnected from the server.
1.10 Checking Whether the Client Needs Upgrade
You can perform this operation to check whether the version of the client matches that of the server. If the versions do not match, you must upgrade the client.
1.11 Setting the Interval of Client Upgrade Check
After the server is upgraded, the server version and the client version do not match. Therefore, the client has to be upgraded accordingly. After the interval for upgrade checking is set, the U2000 periodically checks whether the client needs to be upgraded.
1.12 Locking the Client
You can lock the U2000 client to prevent unauthorized operations.
1.13 Unlocking the Client
After a client is locked by the current login user or by the system automatically, the current user can unlock it, or ask a user in the SMManagers group to reset the password and then log in again, or ask a user in the Administrators group to unlock the client.
1.14 Setting the Level of Operation Logs Recorded by the Client
You can set the level of operation logs recorded by the client, which enables you to focus on desired operation logs.
1.15 Setting a Scheduled Task
The U2000 can automatically execute certain tasks in a scheduled time without manual intervention. You can set and modify these scheduled tasks as required.
1.16 Broadcast Messages
The broadcast message function includes setting the broadcast parameters and sending the broadcast messages. The broadcast message function of the U2000 enables you to send messages to other users with ease.
1.17 Applying for and Updating the U2000 License
This topic describes the license file of the U2000, and how to apply for, install, and use the U2000 license.
1.18 Starting the Web Client

1.1 Precautions for Using the U2000 Safely
This topic describes the precautions for using the U2000 safely. Take the following precautions to ensure correct operations:
l Do not modify the system time when the U2000 is running. Set the time before installing the U2000.
– To modify the system time of the server, exit the U2000 server and restart it after the modification.
– To modify the system time of the client, exit the U2000 client and restart it after the modification.
l Avoid modifying the name and IP address of the U2000 server computer.
l Log in to the U2000 server as user ossuser on Solaris. Log in to the U2000 server as user ossuser on SUSE Linux. On Windows, log in to the U2000 server with the same user ID that you have chosen when installing the U2000. Do not change the Windows user name. l The data created on the NE is consistent with that on the U2000. After an NE is configured
and runs properly, ensure data consistency between the NE and the U2000 by means of manual or automatic synchronization.
l Back up the U2000 database periodically to minimize the loss caused by system malfunction.
l Synchronize the NE configuration data to the NMS and query the latest NE data before setting the parameters.
l When a potentially service-affecting operation is performed, the U2000 asks the user for confirmation. For example, the U2000 displays a message indicating that services will be interrupted when you download the U2000 data to the NE.
l The installation directory of the U2000 must contain only letters, digits and underscores. Otherwise, the U2000 Online Help cannot be used.
l If you select a non-English language for an NE when maintaining it, garbled characters are returned after you query information about the NE.
l Ensure that no other data communication or transmission process is running on the OS of the U2000 server.
l The default passwords for the default U2000 client user, server OS user, and database user are all Changeme_123. To ensure the security of the U2000, change the default passwords after the first login and change the non-default passwords regularly. Meanwhile, the passwords must be complex enough. For example, a password must contain six or more characters of different types. The allowed character types are digits, letters, and special characters.
1.2 Starting the U2000 System
