2 Configuring the Management Console
Avid ISIS provides a number of tools to customize the way the Management Console functions and interacts with
the network and other Avid products.

The Preferences tool allows you to set parameters that apply to the basic functionality of the ISIS
Management Console.
To configure Management Console Preferences:
1. From the Management Console home page, click the Preferences icon, located in the Advanced section.
The Preferences tool opens.
2. Configure ISIS preferences. The following table summarizes the ISIS Preferences items.

value is 1,000 MB/sec. When this value has been reached, ISIS will no
longer accept bandwidth reservations from clients.

ISIS system. For more information about ISIS bandwidth capabilities,
see the Avid ISIS Performance Guide.
Default Bandwidth for Auto
Created Devices (MB/sec)
text
(numeric)
Reservation bandwidth allowed for devices that are automatically created at
connection time. Default value is 0 (zero). Using the default value results in
auto-created devices being granted unlimited bandwidth.
Force Manual Device Creation check box If enabled, clients which do not have an entry in the Devices list will not be
allowed to connect. The Administrator must manually create a device
account for every client computer that is expected to connect to the ISIS
system. Default value is disabled.

the left side before they log in. Only administrators can change this setting.
This setting is disabled by default; users can see the Status Console before
logging in.

Default LCT Threshold (ms) text
(numeric)
Defines the upper limit of the Long Command Time (LCT) value, above
which the Storage Manager will report a Disk Degraded condition to the
System Director. Default value is 0 (zero). Using the value of zero sets the
LCT threshold to the internal system default of 750ms.
