Autodiscovery Press
1
and enter the autodiscovery echo interval, in
Echo Interval seconds, as desired for your probe (optional). This parameter
sets the time interval for the probe to transmit an
autodiscovery frame, which is used by HP OpenView
NetMetrix to maintain its network map.
The default value is 30 minutes (1800 seconds). A value of
zero results in no transmission of autodiscovery frames.
Date Press
2
and enter the day of the week and then the date in
month/day/year format (mm/dd/yy, through 1999 or
mm/dd/yyyy, starting 2000).
Time Press
3
and enter the time of day in hours, minutes, seconds
(hh:mm:ss) format.
Time Zone Press
4
and enter your time zone in one to 15 characters
(optional).
The Time Zone characters are stored for your convenience
and are used only to time-stamp probe information.
Recommended practice is to use the format of Time Zone,
hours from Greenwich mean time, and then Daylight Saving
Time, such as PST8PDT for Pacific Standard Time (the
default). The probe does not automatically update the Time
field when your local time changes from standard time to
daylight savings and back.
The values you enter for date and time take effect as soon as you enter them.
All other parameters do not take effect until you select the Save Changes
and Exit menu item.
