Chapter 5 Normal Operation
III-5
For a connection name, you cannot use a blank and those characters that cannot be used for a file name (\/:,;*?”<>|).
If you enter a name containing an unusable character and click the [OK] button, an error dialog box is displayed;
enter a connection name again.
(ii) IP Address or DNS Name of Server
Specify the IP address or DNS name of the iSM server (This item is mandatory).
(iii) Port Number of Server
In general, the port number does not need to be changed. Specify a port number only when the port is assigned
particularly in the iSM server setting.
(iv) Client Name
Specify the name for individually identifying the client (This item is mandatory).
An arbitrary name can be specified with alphanumeric characters as long as it is unique.
(v) Port Number of Client
Display the port number that is used to transfer data between client screens.
Usually a default port number is used. If the number is used by another program already, it must be changed. If
multiple connections are defined, the client allocates default values from 8021 sequentially.
To change the port number, edit the iSMmain.ini file referenced by each client, as described below. iSMmain.ini
is stored in the folder displayed in [Folder Name] of [Connection Setting List]. If [Folder Name] displays the
“default” connection, the file is stored in the installation folder.
[CLIENT]
PORT=8021 ← Change this value into a port number that is not used currently.
1. Numbers allowed for a port number are 1 to 65535. Specifying a disallowed number results in displaying an
error dialog and termination. You can click the [Browse] button only if [SHELL] is selected in Action Type.
2. If the system has been activated, the specified value is used upon restarting.
3. “iSMmain.ini” file contains various setting data. Do not edit other data than a client port number. Editing
other data may disable operations of the system.
(vi) Get Messages
Check to save the message, which is displayed on the client fault monitoring screen, as a text file on the PC.
(vii) Display Maintenance State
Check to switch the state of the upper structure to (Notice) when an event other than normal events occurs in
the individual element layer. Normally, events ( (Warning) or (Err)) in the individual element layer are
ignored in the upper structure because they do not affect operation. This option is selected when you want to
check them in detail. When an event (e.g. LD failure) which affects operation occurs in the individual element
layer, the upper structure fails (Err) regardless of this setting.
The setting information is saved when you click [OK] after the setting ends.
