Add Icons Representing Peripherals

Icons representing the peripherals connected to your serviced systems as part of your Console Manager environment are not included on the default C3 display.

To add them

  1. Click the mode change button to change to Edit mode.
  2. Click the right mouse button in the background area of the screen where you want the peripherals icon to be. This displays a pop-up menu.
  3. Choose Add Peripheral from the menu. This displays the Peripheral Icon dialog box, as shown in the following figure, for you to complete.

    Choose a name for your icon, and click an icon from the list displayed, and the icon is displayed in the upper left corner of the dialog box. You can choose where to put labels on your display using the Label Placement field.

  4. Click OK.
  5. After finishing all your edits, click the mode change button to change back to Interactive mode.
  6. To save your edits, pull down the Options menu and choose the Save menu item to save the changes you have made.

Note: You can cause a peripheral icon to change its color if you call the CMUserSendEvent routine using the name of the peripheral as the system name. However, these events cannot be viewed in any way, and are not logged by Console Manager.

The following figure shows the peripheral, SA600, added to the display.
