ForeSight 6100 EMS User Guide
IP Address
This must be a valid IP address and it must be unique.
Note
Community String
This is the SNMP community string for the node. Generally it is the "read" community string which can be
the monitor or superuser password.
Type
This drop down determines how the ForeSight treats this node. The only visible effects of this are: the colorized
icon that will display the node type and the available firmware will be specific to entries for this node's type.
Choose Icon
This button allows the user to select an image to display along with the name on the tree. It can be in either
GIF or JPEG format and of any size (16 high x 16 wide or 32 high x 32 wide pixel size is recommended).
Note
Comment
This area is used for adding notes and comments.
Edit Node
The Edit Node dialog enables a user to modify a selected node; its options are the same as the Add Node dialog,
so refer to section
"Add Node"
Database Manager
This executes a database manager (specified in the preferences page). In normal operations (with the embedded
database) there is no manager for the database. This option is provided for advanced users using external databases.
Start State Polling
This check box toggles the polling on or off. When checked, polling takes place. The state poller also affects the
Polling Indicator.
Edit Node
The format of the IP address is not tested when it is added to the
database, but later operations will fail if the IP address is not correct.
The image will not be resized, so large or odd-sized images should be
avoided. The type specific icon for a container cannot be changed; it
is always a folder icon with a colored background. Also, if the tool is
using type specific icons this option will be disabled.
