Micro-PWC CONFIGURATION GUIDE
306 @aGlance/IT Server Interface
The Micro-DCI @aGlance/IT Server communicates using TCP//IP. If you have questions about TCP/IP or
about Internet host names in use at your site, see your system administrator. If you have questions about
the options on or configuration via this display, see the on-line help text available from the Help button.
Information about client nodes and client users is configured using the Proxies option, which is described
in
Section 11.4, Security for the @aGlance/IT Server .
11.2.3 Registering Client Nodes
Use the @aGlance/IT aag_admin utility to register all potential client nodes in each Micro-PWC
@aGlance/IT server network database. This function identifies and characterizes nodes from which clients
will access the server. Because the Micro-PWC @aGlance/IT server communicates using TCP/IP, the
aag_admin utility will prompt the user to enter an Internet host name. (If you have questions about Internet
host names in use at your site, contact your system administrator.)
The @aGlance/IT administration menu will be displayed. Server Setup is used to tell @aGlance/IT what
clients are permitted to access the local node and servers on that system. Enter
H at the menu prompt to
access the @aGlance/IT online Help system for information on how to use the @aGlance/IT administra-
tion menu to add and delete client nodes to and from the network database of the @aGlance/IT server for
a Micro-PWC network.
11.2.4 Starting a Server and Server Names
Typically, the maximum number of @aGlance/IT servers for which the node is licensed are started when
the system is started. A server started automatically by the system will be assigned a default name in the
format:
EBi<
node name>
where the i is an index number used to identify the server, and the < node name> is the name of the Micro-
PWC node on which the server is running. For example, if the node named CON4 is licensed for two serv-
ers, two servers will be started automatically. The servers will be named EB1CON4 and EB2CON4.
A maximum of two @aGlance/IT servers can run simultaneously on a Micro-PWC, and each of these serv-
ers can have up to 10 simultaneous client connections.
11.2.4.1 Starting a Server with Non-Default Options
It is possible to customize parameters such as server name and interval for the servers which are started
automatically on system start up. To do so, you must create a file named aagServ.dat in the directory
\Micro-PWC\data. Each line in this file is an entry that includes the options which define one server. For
example, to define two servers (named spock and tuvok), each with a monitor interval of 3 seconds, the
aagServ.dat file would consist of the following lines:
-s spock -m -i 3
-s tuvok -m -i 3
Available server start-up options are described in Table 11-1 .
