The Menus

The Supervisor Menu contains information about the network that is critical
or may not be easily replaced. If this is the
case, then adding a password to
the Supervisor Menu may be desired. Just make sure that you have the
password written down somewhere if you do not use the Supervisor Menu
often.
‘The Name of this Program’ field is used by NM when it displays its name at
the top of the screen. This is to allow
VARs and system integrators to make
NM look like part of their own product. Simply edit the field to give NM a
custom look.
‘Name of the Network Site’ is used when NM is used with a modem to call
up multiple sites. If you are using NM in ‘Remote Multiple Site Mode’ this
field would be used to delineate between remote locations.
The ‘Maximum Number of Sites’ field specifies the maximum number of
remote sites that NM will be responsible for dialing.
The ‘Maximum Number of Stations per Site’ refers to the maximum number
of workstations that will be present for any given site.
The ‘Maximum Terminal Number in system’ field is used to determine the
maximum workstation number that will be used at any given site.
The ‘Online/Reset Wait’ field specifies the maximum amount of time that
NM will wait for units to come online before giving up on them.
The ‘Batch Incoming Data Wait’ field specifies the maximum amount of
time that NM will wait in seconds for any multiple data records received
from one station.
The ‘Timeout Between Polls’ field tells NM how long to wait between
attempts at getting a response to a poll for data.
The ‘Number of Poll Retries to Master’ field tells NM the number of times to
try to bring the master online before giving up.
Change Configuration / Options
These option allow further customization of NM. The user enables and
disables options by toggling between Yes and No with the <SPACE BAR>.
The menu should look similar to the following:
