Going beyond the settings of the Wizard, traces and other displays can be set up precisely using the LCOS menu tree. The LCOS menu tree is divided into three areas:
- Show Particular information can be retrieved for every device type using a Show
command. Show commands are usually used on the command line (Telnet). The call of this
Show command is very convenient from the graphical Windows interface in the advanced
configuration of the trace.
To access the current dump of the Show command, click
the name of a Show command in the left-hand area of the trace dialog and then the Show
button. You may have to/be able to specify additional parameters depending on the entry
selected. Enter a question mark in the input field and then click the Show button for
information on these parameters.
To accept the dump of the Show command into the
trace data, click the appropriate checkbox to the left of the entry name. For every Show
command enabled, it is possible to set whether it is only run once on start of the trace
or whether it is run at regular intervals (set in seconds).
Note: The settings of the Show commands are stored in the trace configuration together with the actual trace settings.
- Status Comprehensive status information and statistics on a device can be accessed from
the command line (Telnet) or via WEBconfig. All available status information can also be
shown via the trace dialog. Tables and individual values are shown using special
icons.
To display the current contents of the table or value, click the name of a
status entry in the left-hand area of the trace dialogue.
To accept the dump of the
Status entry into the trace data, click the appropriate checkbox to the left of the entry
name. For every Status entry enabled, a setting defines whether it is read out once only
on starting the trace or whether it is read out at regular intervals (set in
seconds).
Note: The settings of the Status information are stored in the trace configuration together with the actual trace settings. Status information is stored together with the actual trace data.
- Trace settings The traces to be dumped for the current device can be enabled in the
trace settings area.
To accept the dump of the trace into the trace data, click the
appropriate checkbox to the left of the entry name. A filter can be entered for every
trace. For example, if you want to display only the IP traces of a particular workstation,
enter the appropriate IP address as a filter of the IP router trace.
