To display server properties:
Click the System tab. DSView Server will automatically be selected in the top navigation bar and
Identity will automatically be selected in the side navigation bar. The DSView Server Identity
Properties window will open. The top of the side navigation bar will indicate the name of the
DSView software server.
To change server network properties:
1. From the side navigation bar, click Network. The DSView Server Network Properties window
will open.
2. Type a new DSView software server port number in the HTTPS Port field.
If the default value (443) is modified, the port number in the URL must be specified when
accessing the DSView software. For example, if the IP address of the hub server is 10.0.0.1
and the port number is changed to 444,
https://10.0.0.1:444/dsview must be typed in the
Address field of the web browser to access the DSView software.
The selected port must be available on the DSView software server. If DSView software
clients are located on an external connection, the specified port must be open on the firewall.
3. Click Save. A confirmation dialog box will appear.
A web browser error message will appear when Save is clicked. This error message is a normal
occurrence. To reestablish connection to the DSView software, you must reconnect to the hub
Trap Destinations
The DSView software server polls DS1800 digital switches, DSI5100, CPS and CCM
appliances and DSR switches to determine if they are responding. If the managed
appliance does not respond, the DSView software server sends an SNMP Loss Of
Communication (LCM) trap or alert to the external SNMP manager. When the
DSView software server detects that the appliance is once again communicating, a
Regained Communication (RCM) trap is sent from the DSView software server.
When a response change occurs during communication between the DSView
software server and a managed appliance, the DSView software writes the event to
the audit log and sends an SNMP trap to the configured trap destinations.
Trap destinations may also be specified by clicking on a managed appliance and
changing the SNMP appliance settings.
DSView Client
Sessions
Settings for inactivity time-out, Single Sign-On (SSO) for the session or restrictions to
use specific IP addresses to start the sessions.
Email
IP address of the SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server that is used by the
DSView software to send email notifications.
Unit Status Polling
Enables/disables unit status polling for the DSView software server, and specifies
the delay between polling cycles and the number of managed appliances that will be
concurrently polled.
Spoke Servers Enables you to manage the DSView software spoke servers in your system.
