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.
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.
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. |
