Create a new Area of Responsibility (AOR) Area

There are two steps to configuring a new Area of Responsibility (AOR) Area. First, run the Create OASyS DNA AOR Area Wizard. Then, use the Area of Responsibility (AOR) Area Properties dialog box to complete the configuration of such AOR Area properties as memberships and alarm coverage checking.

New AOR Areas are created by right-clicking on the Network Management Console (NMC) AOR Areas folder and selecting New AOR Area from the action menu.
