Client SSU (CSSU) Details
• Number of Pages—specifies how many times each pager number will be paged (from 1 to 100). Number
of Pages defaults to 1, and if set to 1, the Repeat Paging Interval value is not needed.
• Repeat Paging Interval—specifies the interval in minutes between each cycle of pages (one cycle includes
sending a page to all configured pager numbers). The minimum and default value of Repeat Paging
Interval is one minute. The maximum value is 1440 minutes (24 hours).
Before saving the information, you can press the Test Page button to verify that the default pager number
is paged.
Click the OK button to save the information and exit from the screen. Click the Cancel button to restore the
previous information and exit from the screen.
Customizing PIC Administrator Options
PIC options let you set the PIC console refresh rate, which determines how often PIC is updated with
current information from the server. You can specify whether temperatures display in Celsius or Fahrenheit,
and whether to restore PIC settings to the factory defaults. These settings are global and affect any open
PIC session.
To configure the refresh interval or temperature display format:
1. On the PIC Main Menu Bar, click the View->Options menu selection.
2. Change the refresh interval or temperature display format on the Options dialog.
3. Click OK.
NOTE For servers that support server health update events, configuring the console refresh interval
is not necessary or applicable. For other servers, when configuring the console refresh
interval, selecting a frequent refresh interval impacts system performance on both the console
and the managed server because ISM polls for the health status of each monitored sensor.
Selecting a less frequent console refresh interval provides a reasonable information update,
while minimizing the overhead on system performance. The console refresh interval does not
impact how quickly the server system responds to event notifications (for example, threshold
crossings), only how quickly the ISM main screen display updates with server information. A
value of 15 seconds or greater for console refresh value provides a reasonable compromise.
Default Values and Restoring Default Values
PIC installs with the following default values:
• PIC console refresh interval: 10 seconds
• Temperature display format: Celsius
• Watchdog feature: off
• Watchdog timer: two minutes
• Sensor threshold: values as defined in the Sensor Data Records (SDR) file
To restore default PIC settings for threshold values and the watchdog feature:
1. On the PIC Main Menu Bar, click the Configure->Restore Factory Defaults menu selection.
2. Click OK on the confirmation dialog.
Some configurations are not affected by the Restore Factory Defaults option. Event actions you have
configured, the temperature display format, and the console refresh rate are not affected when you click the
Restore Factory Defaults menu item.
