Deleting a Node

Chapter 2: Software

The Node name will appear in green when host-to-node communications are working properly. If a communications problem occurs, the node name will initially turn yellow, to indicate that pending node trouble exists. If the problem persists for several minutes, the node name will turn red and a trouble alarm will be dispatched to Users who are members of the diagnostic class.

To delete a Node, right-click on the Node name in the tree and select Delete This Node.

Changing Host Network Settings using ConsoleView

You can remotely change the Host network settings using the ConsoleView software if the Allow Remote Configuration option is set in the Local Configuration options. However, before doing so consider the following:

If you have any Nodes associated with the Host, they will stop communicating with Host if you change the IP address. So be sure to change the parent Host IP Address in the NODE before actually changing it in the Host itself.

To change the network settings in the Host using ConsoleView, right-click on the unit name and select Network Settings. The first tab is titled Ethernet Settings, click the Modify button to bring up the Network Setup screen.

Figure 13: Host Network Settings

NOTE: If the Modify button is grey (inactive) then the unit either does not have the Allow Remote Configuration option set, or the unit’s firmware does not support this feature and requires upgrading.

Enter the new network parameters and click OK. A warning message will appear telling you that the unit must reboot. Click OK to proceed with the change. You will be disconnected while the unit reboots. If you changed the Host’s IP address, it will automatically change in ConsoleView as well, so that the software will connect to your host using the new IP address.

Setting the Unit Properties for the Node

To set the Properties of your RIM-600 Node, right-click on the Node name and select Node Properties. The Node Name will be copied from the node itself as programmed during the network configuration procedure. Enter the Location and Description in the fields provided. These param- eters will be used to identify the unit when sending alarms. Set the Custom Voice file to identify the Node when speaking over the telephone. (See Recording and Uploading Voice Messages for infor- mation on creating custom voice messages.)
