Connection Manager
This chapter describes the CWM Connection Manager (CM) desktop application. You use the
Connection Manager to create and maintain end-to-end connections, Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs),
or Soft Permanent Virtual Circuits (SPVCs). A connection consists of a source (localEnd), a destination
(remoteEnd) and a set of connection parameters required for the routing.
Connection Manager Overview
You can have up to four Connection Manager windows per CWM desktop session running on your
workstation at any one time (though only one can be started from the CWM Desktop; the others must be
started from a Connection Manager window’s File menu).
The Security Management feature, in which each CWM user has their own access profile, is used to
determine whether you have the rights to use each option in the CWM Connection Manager. The security
mapping for CWM Connection Manager is:
• If you have Read Permission you can list connections.
• If you have Create Permission, you can add new connections and perform diagnostics. In addition,
you have Read Permission privileges.
• If you have Modify Permission, you can modify connections. In addition, you have Read Permission
privileges.
• If you have Delete Permission, you can delete connections. In addition, you have Read Permission
privileges.
• If you have All permissions, you can do all of the above.
