Using the Screen Builder Tool
You use the Screen Builder to create custom statistics screens. The MIB Browser
lets you select up to nine objects to include on the screen. For each object you
select, you design how the statistics appear on the screen. The screen shows each
object’s statistics in a single column below a column heading.
The Screen Builder lets you specify the following:
• A name for the column heading
• The column width
• The format in which the screen displays the statistics (decimal or
hexadecimal)
You can also use the Screen Builder to edit custom screens. For example, you can
redefine how to display statistics, or you can add or delete objects from the screen.
Using the Screen Manager Tool
You use the Screen Manager to manage the statistics screen database and to define
a current screen list. The database contains more than 75 default statistics screens.
In addition, you can design and save up to 4,000 customized screens. The current
screen list is a subset of the entire database of statistics screens — usually those
you use most often. It can contain both default and custom-built screens. Note that
you can display only those statistics screens that you have added to the current
screen list.
Using the Launch Facility Tool
You use the Launch Facility tool to display any statistics screens that are on the
current screen list. When you launch a statistics screen, Site Manager polls the
router for all instances of the MIB objects specified on the screen, then it formats
and displays the data in columns.
There are two types of statistics screens:
• Circuit mode: The Statistics Manager continually polls the router for statistics
and updates the statistics screen with new data. You determine how often the
Statistics Manager retrieves these statistics by specifying a polling rate.
