WebSphere brand IBM WebSphere Premises Server, Version 6.1.x

Controller details

The following table defines the fields on the Create New Controller and Edit Controller Detail panels. All fields are required except the MAC Address field.

Fields

Field Description
Controller ID Enter a logical identifier for the edge controller you are defining. After you create the edge controller, you cannot modify this field.
Note: The identifier must be 10 digits (0-9) or fewer.
Controller Name Enter a unique, textual description of the controller.
Configuration Groups - Data Capture and Delivery only Select the configuration group that you want to use for the controller.
MAC Address The MAC address assigned to the edge controller you are defining. This field is used for reference purposes only, and is not required.

IP Address

The IP address assigned to the edge controller you are defining. This field is not required.

Alert Threshold The level of detail that you want specified in the Alert log file. The edge controller uses this value to determine which level of events are forwarded to the WebSphere® Premises Server; the lower the alert level, the higher the number of events that are sent to the log file.

Choose from the following alert thresholds, from highest to lowest -- for example, selecting debug generates the greatest number of alerts.

  • error (default)
  • warning
  • info
  • debug
Note: Setting the alert threshold to info or debug generates a large amount of traffic, and might overload the network. Use these two settings only if necessary.
Available Locations The list of available locations to associate with the edge controller you are defining. Select a location and click the right arrow to associate the location with this edge controller.
Selected Locations The list of locations currently associated with the edge controller. Click the left arrow to disassociate this location with the device.
