Privileges required: Admin – R W C; Console – none Figure 8–14 console_name Configuration Screen 8-20 SMC Installation and User’s Guide...
Page 123 The SMC is configured with eight default consoles, CONSOLE_1 through CONSOLE_8, which have the attributes needed by this system. Since ConsoleWorks does not allow direct renaming of a console, to change a name, you must delete the console and add a new one with the name you choose. NOTE: If the Show Consoles screen lists eight consoles (not including the ConsoleWorks internal console, CONWRKS), be sure to delete the console before adding a new one.
Page 124: Managing Events And Actions
Managing Events and Actions An event is a text string in the input or output of a console’s SCM, SRM, or operating system instance for which ConsoleWorks monitors. Based on the event, ConsoleWorks can trigger an action. Each event is associated with one or more scans, or collection of events.
Page 125 ConsoleWorks tests. The string can be to or from the SCM, SRM, or operating system. A number of events are supplied by ConsoleWorks and by Compaq; the user can create others (Section 8.5.1). Compaq supplies a number of events that are specific to the GS80/160/320 system (Section 8.5.2).

Delete the file and copy 8_CONSOLE_DEFAULT.CONFIG (systems with a terminal server) or SERIAL_COM1_ DEFAULT.CONFIG (no terminal server) to DEFAULT.CONFIG. Expunge events, and export and import the database (Section 8.5.6) Change Internet Explorer settings (Section 11.4).
