Cabletron Systems CSX100 series User Manual - Set Number of Display Lines
ISDN Router
86
By default, all information is refreshed once a second. If this causes
strain on your network or you are presently monitoring a router across
the WAN, which requires too much bandwidth usage to perform this
function, you may want to increase the refresh rate, expressed in seconds.
Set Number of Display Lines
This option allows you to specify the number of lines of information that
are shown in the Message area of the main Port Monitor window.
However, you can obtain a more complete list of the messages generated
by the router by using the Log window.
This setting is preserved in the file ROUTER.INI. Acceptable values are
between 1 and 3. The default value for this setting is 1.
Set Display Clear Rate
This option allows you to specify how long, in seconds, the messages
shown in the Message area of the Port Monitor main window are kept
visible. After that time has elapsed (or whenever the monitoring is
stopped), old messages are automatically erased to avoid confusion.
You may, however, prefer to always be able to see the latest information
generated by the router: To do so, set this parameter to a large number
(3600 for one hour, for example).
View POTS
The POTS Monitor is integrated into the Port Monitor, but is only
available with ISDN routers that support analog telephony features. It
monitors the state of the two analog lines supported by the router and
displays information for each one, including phone numbers for
incoming and outgoing calls, and duration of calls.
Important: Incoming phone numbers can only be displayed if you have
subscribed to the optional Caller ID service.
SNMP Options
For security reasons you may want to change the router's SNMP
community name and UDP port number. By default the port number is
161 and the community name is the string "public".
For more information, refer to the SNMP Options section, page 90.
Exit
This selection terminates the monitoring and exits the Port Monitor
application. The Close button of the main window has the same function.
The next time you start the monitoring from its Program Manager group
(or its Windows 95 Start Menu location), the same router will be
monitored again.
