Overview

The InterSite Server Monitor (ISM) is a server management tool that enables administrators
to remotely monitor InterServe systems across the network from a central site. The central
site is called the monitoring console.
Each server monitored by the monitoring console has an installed Intel Emergency
Management Card (EMC). With the ISM software installed on a monitoring console and the
EMC installed in the server, administrators can do the following from the monitoring
console:
u
Monitor critical server functions, server information, and statistics.
u
Diagnose server problems.
u
View and make changes to the configuration of a server.
u
Maintain a history log of server data.
u
Access the server when the network is not functioning.
u
Remotely control server over the network or a phone line.
u
Receive alerts when server problems occur.

Monitoring Console Setup

The monitoring console allows a system administrator to monitor a Windows NT-based
InterServe system in which the EMC and its associated PC Card modem are installed. The
monitoring console may be another server with an installed EMC card, or a computer with
only the Server Manager console software and Server Manager agent software 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 and configure ISM software on the monitoring console, see Chapter 3,
"Installing, Configuring, and Removing InterSite Server Monitor (ISM)" in this
document.
u
To install an internal or external modem to the monitoring console, see the
documentation delivered with the modem.
