System information

•
You may also limit the workstation within a group not only by using
keywords, but also by using Discovery Filters, which can be defined by
clicking on the right mouse button on a group, then selecting Discovery
Filters. You may now limit the workstations in this group by selecting the
operating systems such as Windows 95, OS/2 and NetWare. Also you can
select the protocols that are being used to access protocols such as
NetBIOS, IPX and TCP/IP.
Figure 55. Group Management
If you now select one of the groups that you already defined, you can have two
different ways to display the workstations. First you should do a discover via the
System pull-down menu. Now all systems that belong to this group will show up.
If one of the systems has been discovered once within this group, then it stays in
this menu, even if becomes offline for any reason. You can easily recognize an
offline system by its icon color. If a system has got a problem, but did not go
offline, you will see a special error sign at these icons. In Figure 56 on page 41
and Figure 57 on page 41 you will see a group display. The difference between
these displays is that the figure titled Group View - Icons was defined with Icon
View via the View pull-down menu and the figure titled Group View - Details was
defined with Detail View.
With the Icon View you can just see all systems belonging to this group as an
icon. You get the system name information if this system is a TME 10 NetFinity
manager or services and if this system runs as a LAN server independent if it is
Windows NT Advanced Server, OS/2 LAN Server or NetWare.
With the Detailed View you get more detailed information in addition to the
information given by the Icon View.
•
Network protocol, which is used for this connection. If there has been more
than one protocol driver configured for TME 10 NetFinity, than this system
appears more than once in this table (in our example the workstation named
SVCLI1). This workstation has NetBIOS and TCP/IP protocol enabled.
•
Network address, which is protocol-dependent information, such as the
NetBIOS name for the NetBIOS workstations.
•
System and model description, if the system type can be identified by TME
10 NetFinity.
•
Also the type and version of the installed operating system will be shown in
this table.
