Setting Up Notification
52 Command Console V2.5 User Guide
Setting Up Modem and Polling Preferences
The subsystem polling interval is the frequency at which the Client pings an
Agent to determine if it is running.
1. Click Options > Preferences.
2. Type the number of hours or minutes in the subsystem polling interval field.
The default-polling interval is 30 minutes.
3. Select the COM port in your computer that your modem uses.
4. For alphanumeric pagers, select the baud rate (typically, it is 1200) of your
paging service provider’s TAP modem.
Associating My Enterprise, Systems, and Subsystems
with Notification Lists
You can associate host systems and subsystems with notification lists for the
purpose of paging a group if a critical event occurs. You can establish paging on
three separate levels:
■ My Enterprise
■ System Level
■ Subsystem Level
You can configure paging on all levels or any combination of levels.
Before you can associate a system or controller with a notification list, you must
first create a notification list. See "Setting Up Notification Lists", page 51.
My Enterprise
Use My Enterprise to notify all notifications lists listed here for problems on all
systems and subsystems.
1. Highlight My Enterprise in the Storage Window Manager and then choose
File > Properties > Event Notification from the menu.
2. Click the Notification List box to show all of the lists you have created.
3. Choose the list of persons who should be notified in case of a failure on any
system.
