Add a Device Communicator

From the Communicators tab in the Server Administration view you can add a device
communicator. This task allows an already installed device communicator to connect
with the ISM Provision server and begin to manage devices.
This task assumes that the device communicator has already been installed and that
you can start the communicator at the end of this task. For information about installing
and starting a device communicator, see the document, ISM Provision Installation Guide,
available as a PDF file, "install-1-0.pdf"on your ISM Provision CDROM.
Steps. To add a device communicator
1 Select Add Device Communicator button
Choose the Communicators tab in the Server Administration view in order to see
the Add Device Communicator button.
2 Enter hostname and synchronization parameters
The device communicator should already be installed on the hostname you specify.
3 Select Finish
4 Start device communicator
Frequently, the device communicator will exit if it does not connect with the server
you specified when you installed it. Start the device communicator again once you
have added its entry to the server. See the ISM Provision Installation Guide for
instructions on starting a device communicator

Modify a Device Communicator

You would modify a device communicator if you wanted to disable automatic
synchronization, or if you wanted to modify the synchronization interval. You can also
modify the Telnet time out setting for the communicator.
