Screen Manager Tool

The Screen Manager tool lets you manage the statistics window database and lets

you deﬁne a current screen list. The database contains more than 75 default

statistics windows. In addition, you can design and save up to 4,000 customized

windows. The current screen list is a subset of the entire database of statistics

windows -- usually those you use most often. The list can contain both default and

custom-built windows. You can display only those statistics windows that you

have added to the current screen list.

Launch Facility Tool

The Launch Facility tool lets you retrieve and display any statistics windows that

are in the current screen list. When you retrieve statistics from the router, the

Statistics Manager polls the router for all instances of the MIB objects that you

speciﬁed in the window, then it formats and displays the data in columns.

There are two modes in which the Statistics Manager retrieves statistics:

• Circuit mode -- The Statistics Manager continually polls the router for

statistics and updates the statistics window with new data. You can specify

how often the Statistics Manager polls the routers for statistics.

• Table mode -- The Statistics Manager retrieves statistics from the router only

once -- when you display the window. You must refresh the window each time

you want to update it with new data.

Circuit mode is predetermined for the default statistics windows. If you build

custom statistics windows, you can specify the mode in which statistics are

retrieved.
