5 Configure with NetCom Manager
5.1 Starting NetCom Manager
When NetCom Manager is started, it will ‘Search’ the NetCom
+
in your LAN by SNMP. This
process may take up to 30 seconds. The devices in a LAN are typically found in the first seconds.
If this is enough for you, you can stop the search by click on the ‘Done’ button.
Figure 50: NetCom Manager Servers Panel
The NetCom
+
are listed here in the
Servers
panel. Since the
Search
uses broadcast mechanisms,
the range is limited. If you have Routers in your network, or you contact some NetCom
+
via
Internet, you must
Add
them manually (section
5.5
). Enter the network parameters to access the
NetCom
+
.
Select a NetCom
+
, and click on the
Properties
button, double-click the Icon, or use a right click.
Using
Verify
the NetCom Manager contacts the NetCom
+
to check if it is properly configured
and online.
Exclude
is only useful in conjunction with the Virtual Com Drivers, so skipped here.
Search
repeats the search from the program start, and may be used at any time.
Remove
removes
a NetCom
+
server from this list. This option is most often used to clear old data from the drivers
database. For monitoring purposes you may select a NetCom
+
, and
Start Log
for this. It may be
done for several Devices at the same time. The output is visible in the
Log Windows
panel.
