3.6 Setting EMS Link Timeout, Cataloging Time, Demo Mode
Using the Preferences window (shown in Figure 16 on page 30), you can set the
following values:
•EMS Link Timeout—defines the number of minutes EMS will try to
reestablish communication with a network unit before regarding it as
“not found.” When this occurs, EMS reports an EMS Link Status
alarm.
• Cataloging Time—defines the number of seconds, at startup or in
response to a Tools
ÞRefresh Catalog request, that EMS spends
looking for units.
• Demo Mode—controls whether EMS operates in demo mode or as a
normal working system. Demo mode can only be used when EMS is
not connected to a host/remote pair. Demo mode provides a simulated
system with two host/remote pairs.
NOTE: The Modem Initialization field, which also appears in the Preferences
window
, is not currently used.
To display the Preferences window
Select EditÞPreferences.
