1 InterSite Server Monitor
Overview
The InterSite Server Monitor (ISM) is a server management tool that enables administrators to
remotely monitor Windows NT server problems across the network from a central site. The
central site is called the monitoring console, or the console.
ISM hardware and software work with Intel's LANDesk Server Manager product to monitor
Windows NT servers. From the monitoring console, you can view the configuration of a
server, make changes to the configuration, monitor server information and statistics, and
diagnose problems.

Server Setup Overview

The ISM board monitors a Windows NT server's temperatures and voltages. The internal PC
Card modem (which is delivered to you, and which you install) in the ISM board provides
remote access to the server while the network of the server is down. The modem is also used
to dial specified telephone numbers (such as a paging service, or the monitoring console)
when critical events occur.
Intergraph InterServe 6xx systems (630 and above) are delivered with an installed ISM board.
To use the ISM board to monitor the system, you must install a PC Card modem in the ISM
board, and install and configure the ISM software.
u
For information on removing and re-installing the ISM board, see the hardware
documentation delivered with your InterServe system.
u
To install and configure the ISM software, see Chapter 2, "Installing and Configuring the
ISM Software" in this document.
To install the PC Card modem in the ISM board:
1. Shut down and turn off power to the system.
2. Locate the IBM International PC Card modem, the modem adapter (a modem-to-RJ-11
plug), and the black EMI Snap-On suppressor in the shipping boxes. The modem and
modem adapter are shipped in one box; the EMI Snap-On suppressor is delivered in the
InterServe system's Accessories box.
