Server Menu Options

Discover
You can discover multiple servers in a single step and add them to the server tree. Servers are discovered
using a Ping Sweep mechanism supported on servers running TCP/IP.
To discover a range of servers with IP addresses, do the following steps:
1. On the Button Bar, click the Server → Discover menu selection.
2. Enter the starting address and ending address to be discovered. The starting address defaults to the
network subnet of the console machine starting at address 0. The ending range defaults to the value
255, indicating that ISC searches the entire network subnet. If you change the default address value,
enter the full IP address. Wild card characters are not allowed. For all IP addresses, the range of values
allowed for any IP address segment is between 0 and 255.
3. Click OK.
The Stand-alone ISC Console pings each server and test each server for all ISC-registered tools. If one or
more of the tools is found, then the server is added to the server tree.
During the discovery process, the status bar indicates ping status, the number of servers found, and the
number of servers not responding.
Information on servers discovered by ISC is maintained across machine boots. When the Stand-alone ISC
Console is run, servers discovered during previous sessions are displayed. You do not have to run discovery
every time the Stand-alone ISC Console is launched.
If any of the tools supported by the Stand-alone ISC Console are installed or removed from any managed
server, the Stand-alone ISC Console discovery process will need to be rerun to update the tool list for that
server.
Add
You can manually add a server with an IP address to the Stand-alone ISC Console server tree.
To add a server with an IP address, do the following steps:
1. On the Button Bar, click the Server → Add menu selection.
2. Choose a radio button for the IP label.
3. Enter the full address of the desired server. Wild card characters are not allowed. For all IP addresses,
the range of values allowed for any IP address segment is between 0 and 255.
4. Click OK.
The ISC Console will test the specified server for all ISC-registered tools. If one or more of the tools is
found, then the server will be added to the server tree.
Delete/Delete All
You can manually delete a server from the ISC Console server tree.
To delete a server, do the following steps:
1. Select a server or multiple servers from the Windows NT Servers branch in the server tree.
2. On the Button Bar, click the Server → Delete or Server → Delete All menu selection.
3. A confirmation dialog will be displayed. Click OK.
ISC will delete the server(s) from the server tree. To restore information about that server, you must
rediscover the server using Server → Add or Server → Discover.
Stop Discovery
Stops the discovery process. This option is only valid during server discovery.
