Changing the Item Threshold
6. Move the cursor to the option line and press F12 to return to the Status
Configuration screen.

Changing the Item Threshold
You can cause a status item to be highlighted on the screen whenever its computed
usage value falls above or below specified threshold values.
To change the upper threshold value of an item, follow these steps:
1. Press F2 to display the Network Status Summary screen.
2. Press F8 to freeze the screen.
3. Move the cursor to one status item (not a highlighted one).
Make a note of the value and total for that item; for example, 24/100.
4. Press F12 to display the Status Item Configuration screen.
Make a note of the existing value for the upper threshold. Then change the upper
threshold to some significantly lower value. This ensures that the threshold is
exceeded when sampling resumes later.
Also, if the field called Enable Upper Threshold does not have a Y entered, type Y
in that field.
5. Press F12 to confirm the change and return to the Network Status Summary screen.
6. Press SF8 to thaw the screen.
Note that the entire line for the selected item becomes highlighted whenever the new
threshold value you set in the preceding steps is exceeded.
7. Press F12 to display the Status Item Configuration screen and restore the original
value of the upper threshold, as noted in Step 5.
8. Press F12 to confirm the change and return to the Network Status Summary screen.
Changing the Item Order
You can change the order in which status items are displayed with the Status Item
Configuration screen. For example, suppose you want to see the most critical items
displayed at the top of the screen. To change the order of the items, you must first delete
the items and then move them to a new location on the screen.
To change the order of the status items, follow these steps:
1. Press F2 to display the Network Status Summary screen.
2. Press F8 to freeze the screen.
