Autodiscovery

 

Local Terminal Configuration

 

Using a Local Terminal

Autodiscovery

Press 1 and enter the autodiscovery echo interval, in

Echo Interval

seconds, as desired for your probe (optional). This parameter

 

sets the time interval for the probe to transmit an

 

autodiscovery frame, which is used by HP OpenView

 

NetMetrix to maintain its network map.

 

The default value is 30 minutes (1800 seconds). A value of

 

zero results in no transmission of autodiscovery frames.

Date

Press 2 and enter the day of the week and then the date in

 

month/day/year format (mm/dd/yy, through 1999 or

 

mm/dd/yyyy, starting 2000).

Time

Press 3 and enter the time of day in hours, minutes, seconds

 

(hh:mm:ss) format.

Time Zone

Press 4 and enter your time zone in one to 15 characters

 

(optional).

 

The Time Zone characters are stored for your convenience

 

and are used only to time-stamp probe information.

 

Recommended practice is to use the format of Time Zone,

 

hours from Greenwich mean time, and then Daylight Saving

 

Time, such as PST8PDT for Pacific Standard Time (the

 

default). The probe does not automatically update the Time

 

field when your local time changes from standard time to

 

daylight savings and back.

The values you enter for date and time take effect as soon as you enter them. All other parameters do not take effect until you select the Save Changes and Exit menu item.

3.Press S to save the configuration changes and return to LanProbe’s Main Menu. If you want to cancel your current changes and return to the LanProbe’s Main Menu, press 0.
