9.3 Changing the Configuration
You can modify the attribute configuration settings from the web interface or make limited changes from the CLI.
Normally, it is not necessary to change the attribute settings. The following list describes the attributes that most often need changed and the location of the attribute in the web interface.
- commSocketListenerPort (Communications, Socket Listener Port Number)—under Global Attributes. Used to change the communications port number. Do not change the commSocket ListenerPort attribute from the web interface, see Section 9.4.2 for information on configuring ports.
You may need to change the port number if there is another, conflicting application.- commConnectionTimeout (Communications, Connection Handshake Timeout)—under Global Attributes. Used to change the amount of time that can elapse before the system times out.
You may want to change the Timeout setting if your network is very slow and you want to allow more time for connections before timing out.- autoMode (Automatic Mode)—under the EvtAnalyzer attribute. Used to enable or disable automatic processing of the binary system event log.
You may want to change the autoMode setting if there are event entries for unsupported hardware in the event log.- HTTPServerPort—under the SEAWebService attribute. Used to change the port used for http communications. See Section 9.4.2 for more information on configuring ports.
You may need to change the port number if there is a usage conflict.9.3.1 CLI
The CLI has limited configuration abilities.
The socket ports can only be modified from the command line. See Section 9.4.2 for details on changing the ports.
9.3.2 Web Interface
Using the web interface, you can change attributes from the Configuration Settings window (see Figure 9–1). Attributes that can be changed have a changeable field and three buttons in the System Configuration window. You must select an attribute to determine if it can be changed.
To change the value of an attribute, enter the new value in the New Setting field. Depending on the attribute that you want to change, you may be able to select the new attribute value from a drop-down list or change a check-box setting. After changing attributes you have several choices.
- Click the Change button to apply the changes to the current attribute.
- Click the Reset button to change the values of the current attribute back to their last applied value.
- Click the Default button to change the values of the current attribute to their default values.
If you leave the Configuration Settings window without clicking the Change button, your modifications will be lost.
