MetaConsole Client for Canon Devices 6
Specifying Events to Raise Alarms
MetaConsole enables you to select events that will result in alarms. An event is just a
change in information of the selected type. For details about the form that the actual
alarm takes, see the getting started guide for your console.
To select events that will raise alarms:
1. In the navigation pane, expand the Canon Devices node and the Configuration
node, and click Alarm Management.
2. Select the check box for each type of information you want alarms generated for.
3. Click Apply.
Specifying Rates and Timeouts
To set rate and timeout values:
1. In the navigation pane, expand the Canon Devices node and the Configuration
node, and click Rates and Timeouts.
2. In the Discovery Refresh Rate list, click how often the client should refresh the
navigation pane’s list of discovered devices.
3. In the Alarm Poll Rate list, click how often the client should poll for alarms.
Greater numbers of devices require a greater value for Alarm Poll Rate, due to the
increased network traffic.
4. Click Apply.
