DSView Installer/User Guide

NOTE: When changing the location of the Audit log, the Administrator must make sure that the full
path chosen exists, is accessible to both the primary and backup DSAuth Servers and is mapped to
the same letter for both machines. If the log fi le is moved to a location other than the local system,
both the primary and backup DSAuth Servers will use the same location for the fi les.

Port status polling frequency

This option, when enabled, allows Administrators to configure how often

DSAuth polls appliances and how often DSView polls DSAuth. Entering a

Ø

in

a field will disable polling on that field.

DS Management Software suite update

In order to ensure that all DS users have the latest version of the DS Manage-

ment Software suite, Administrators may specify a system wide software suite

version number.

To specify a version number:

1. Enter the desired DSView update version in the Update version text box.

2. Enter the IP address of the TFTP server where the update resides.

3. If you wish to make updates mandatory, click the Update is

mandatory checkbox. If Update is not selected, the DS user must upgrade

DSView software manually. See Updating Firmware later in this chapter for

more information.

When a DS user with an older version of the DS Management Software suite

logs into the system, the user will receive an upgrade prompt. Selecting Yes

will begin the upgrade process. If the upgrade is mandatory, DS users with

older versions of the DS Management Software suite will not be able to access

the system until the upgrade is performed.

Terminating a DSR appliance local port session

If the Enable checkbox has been selected in the DSAdmin System Settings, a

user with Administrator privileges may terminate a local port session.

To terminate a DSR appliance local port session:

1.

Select a port on a DSR appliance.

2. From DSView, select File - Disconnect.
