Monitoring Console Setup Overview

The monitoring console monitors a Windows NT-based InterServe system in which the ISM
board and PC Card modem are installed.
To monitor a Windows NT server from the monitoring console, you install selected parts of
the ISM software, and either install an internal modem or attach an external modem to the
monitoring console.
u
To install an internal or external modem to the monitoring console, see the documentation
delivered with your modem.
u
To install and configure ISM software on the monitoring console, see Chapter 2,
"Installing and Configuring the ISM Software" in this document.
The ISM software installed on the monitoring console does not include Intergraph's InterSite
Watchdog software, which is available separately. Watchdog monitors the Windows NT
Event Log on the InterServe system and notifies you of any informational messages, warnings,
and errors. You can configure Watchdog to run a batch file, send mail, and perform other
tasks, depending on the level of the detected event. You can also configure Watchdog to take
different actions depending on the level of alert and the time. For example, you can configure
Watchdog to send mail to you during the day, and to run a batch file at night if it finds a
warning in the Windows NT Event Log on the server it is monitoring.

Communications Overview

Communication between a monitoring console and an InterServe system with an installed ISM
board is classified as in-band communication or out-band communication. The server and
monitoring console have in-band communication when they make connections through the
network. The server and monitoring console have out-band communication when they make
connections by modem and telephone lines. If the Windows NT operating system is
operational on the InterServe system, the server and the monitoring console can have in-band
