Note:
The computer names you specify here for each port will appear in the Windows and Java
viewers.
Scanning:
If you do not want this computer be included in the auto-scanning, check Do not include in
scanning process. Thus, you can put a specific computer out of your radar screen if it is of no monitoring
value.
Alarms:
If you do not want the scanning process to generate alarm or SNMP messages for this specific
computer, check
Do not generate alarm
to exclude it.
If you require power control for your connected computers, you can connect a serial power control (SPC)
device to the serial port on the back side of the PRIMA IP, and then enable the power control feature on the
PRIMA IP. Hence, remote users can then perform power on/off and power cycling either via the viewer
interface, or by pre-defined alarm-triggered action. The PRIMA IP can support most of standard serial power
control device via its serial port (RJ12) on back panel (Do not mix it up with the serial console port). To
enable the PRIMA IP power control feature, please refer to the Power Control page.
Important Note:
when using a power control device, please note that some newer computers will
require some BIOS option adjustment to restart when power is coming back. Otherwise, they will
not restart without a push of the computer power button. Usually, you should enable the Power Loss
Restart option on your computer BIOS (or similar option depending on the BIOS vendor), so that
your computer can boot up when the power control device is feeding power again.

control unit to power down the computer. Refer to your power control unit documentation.
