CentreVu Supervisor Version 8 Installation and Getting Started
Introduction
CMS System Capacities
1-14
Number of PCs Allowed to Run Supervisor
1
The number of PCs running CentreVu Supervisor is limited by the number of
simultaneous users contracted for in the site-licensing agreement with Lucent.
The CMS software will count the number of active CentreVu Supervisor clients
that are logged in, and limit the number of simultaneous users to the number
purchased by the customer.
A client may be logged into a CMS server once per user ID on a single PC.
Performance
1
When you are using Supervisor you may experience slightly slower response
times for some actions. This could be for a variety of reasons. The following are
a few possible reasons for slower performance:
●
The PC’s configuration, processor speed, Level 2 cache, hard disk speed,
and video RAM could affect the response time.
●
If the Supervisor application is running simultaneously with other
applications, performance of the Supervisor application could be affected
by those other applications.
●
Two or more Supervisor instances running simultaneously could result in
slightly slower than user response time.
●
If Supervisor is running in a LAN environment, Supervisor will generate
additional network traffic. For example, if 250 Supervisor instances were
running two real-time reports each, then Supervisor could require
approximately 20% of the LAN’s capacity. Therefore, ensure that your
LAN has been engineered appropriately.
●
In a LAN environment, network backups could cause congestion on the
network, adversely affecting its performance.
Reliability/Availability
1
If serial links or LAN connectivity drop, the Supervisor application will
automatically attempt to restore the connection if you logged in using the
Automatic Login capability.
